@timbray @alanc @josephholsten A good autoconf replacement would have the actual executable script "configure" file be immutable and data driven, so the big complex logic is known to be non-malicious just by matching upstream hash & local behavior is in human-comprehensible data.
It would support only collection of building-user's preferences, dep search, and compile/link checks using selected tools - not executing arbitrary code at config time.
So there are all kinds of folks trying to figure out where the Space-X rocket came down, based on telemetry and other data.
It would be wild if they turned up MH370 while looking.
Like I said before, all of that is non-standard functions that the vast majority of the fediverse doesn't even support.
I think you might be confusing ease and possibility. Few people even when moving instances within the fediverse are going to have that option (save for those moving between two instances of the same platform).
It's not whether there's some convenient tool to move your posts or other data.
It's about whether after the move you can still get the same updates and talk to the same people.
Think of it in terms of the oldest surviving federated network: changing email accounts.
Before SMTP (the federated email protocol), you had to have accounts on every server with people you wanted to talk to. After you only had to have one account, but could readily move about the network to other servers if you got fed up with your server's bullshit or another offered better services.
(And for the record, public bridges with no opt-out methods exist for email as well)

I think I'm "rarely".
We started doing it for OEF repos last year. For example, https://github.com/Open-Earth-Foundation/CityCatalyst includes a Web app, a global data API, and the data pipeline scripts for managing that global data.
It's helpful for getting Open Source contributors up and running quickly. I think we could probably get the benefit of per-project repositories, but still make it easy to check out the full system, using `git subtree` or something similar.
Anyway, an interesting discussion.
@Moon it scrapes on demand: replace any twitter url by a nitter url and it gets only this data.
It can also generate rss feeds from twitter handles.
It's easy to setup, mine works really nice.
Smartphones using the Snapdragon 630 chip were found to call home to Qualcomm without the consent of the user, bypassing the whole operating system. Data includes unique hardware ID, current IP, country, your ISP, list of installed apps and other data.
It is send unencrypted and gets combined with data broker profiles.

As usual, big IT companies don't give a flying fart about any laws, their customers or ethics in general. Who would've guessed. 😔 #privacy #security
