@tek what I keep coming to with ts is, if you're reaching for ts you likely need a different language

@tek but then again c# devs didn't understand javascript so hard that we now have typescript

@tek folk seem to confuse dynamically typed with untyped a fair bit

@pezmico this children and phones panic sounds exactly like the children and TV panic of the 70s/80s and the children and reading panic of the 20s. all bullshit

@_elena feel free to reach out. i haven't done any fedi hosting yet (on the list for next year) but i've done quite a bit of linux server/web server stuff

@futurebird so you're saying that the toxic entities in the fedi are now called COTS (crown-of-thorns starfish)

@evan @johnefrancis well, the start of those things. the efforts, as we know, have been imperfect. but largely better than before '45

@johnefrancis @evan I would very cautiously suggest that there has been more social progress post ww2.

@_elena DNS setup is not actually difficult but it can be hella confusing when you start or if you pick up someone else's config. it is very precise though, so when things don't work: make sure of all the details (typos, case, ...) and then give it some time, and then make sure to use different browsers with all history wiped for testing. https://dnschecker.org and the CLI tool 'drill' are also very useful here

@tek no no. we were doing a infrastructure resiliency test, findings have been reported and retesting will happen in a few days

@jacklaridian yup. them ~ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake_(soundtrack)

@jacklaridian ummm ... quake 1 anyone?

@tek like anything with the spaghetti or just plain pasta? either is good

@tek but i already have a seasonable toy shortlisting exercise underway. there's a whole range of handheld game consoles that run full linux distros and have wifi and bluetooth and usb otg and hdmi and wont raise eyebrows, nudge nudge wink wink

@tek damnit, now I'm going to have to get a node sooner rather than later

@futurebird yeah, it's a "yes and" situation. individual acts are important for many reasons: many small acts make a big act, you reinforce activism in yourself, you're a message to those around you, ...

@evan um ... ringo?

@tek our bastions of hope seem to be the onion, cards against humanity, and john oliver. we really are in the strangest timeline

@dansup please listen to the vet about your dog's weight. it has a huge impact on their quality of life especially as they get older.

@RenewedRebecca also last time it was as much a surprise to them as it was to everyone else. this time they have a plan
