@sun seems like every form of decentralized social networking has certain key downsides which stem from being decentralized

@sun yeah, I established a toehold due to its censorship-resistant properties, but it's mostly bitcoin maxis posting affirmations and talking about eating nothing but steak. I'm probably gonna keep poking around over there though.

@sun interesting, especially the bit about toxic positivity. did you give up on Nostr?

@sun hm, I set up a Mumble instance on Debian a while back and it worked. would be ironic if being forced to use Ubuntu meant you ended up with a broken Mumble package

@sun it's microblogging?

@TerryHancock there are many different types of walkies which work on many different bands.

CB is AM or SSB; the Baofengs are FM, so they don't talk to CB. but, in the USA they can talk to ham VHF, not-quite-legally to GMRS (with a $35 license which covers your entire family for 10 years), and illegally to MURS, FRS, FM business radios, and marine VHF.

in practice, nobody gives a shit that people use the Baofengs on bands they aren't certified for as long as you're polite.

@lanodan @neauoire

@sun imagine thinking so highly of yourself as this person clearly does, when actually you are surplus population.

@sun lol

new fedi pr0n instances in 5.. 4..

@sun generating AI slop of Trump as a giant chicken?

You just pop it into a Raspberry Pi and you have AI! […]

@jeffcliff @sun my main issue is that I've been stuck for 8 years in environments which suppress my mind's ability to contain that level of complexity, I used to be a bona-fydee software engineer and have a degree in CS (undergrad, but still)

but, I still try to help where I can. currently focusing on helping ne'er-do-wells like me get a leg up. feel free to hit me up whenever, worst I can say is no

@sun I want to make software and/or web apps so bad, and I haven't written a lick of code beyond sub-50-line shell scripts in years :(

for me it's a cognitive chicken-and-egg, I'm not able to work on such tasks in small increments until I've been working on them every day for a long time and thus the context is still fresh, and I can't re-bootstrap into the dev headspace without either a partner for "body doubling," or long blocks of alone time living someplace where I control my sensory input

Bluesky is just as much a part of the fediverse as Threads is, send toot

@sun I used to like Pelican, but I didn't use it for long enough that I forgot how, and now it's a friggin' research project to learn that again and then bring my ancient blog up to standards

I ended up going with Wordpress for the Surfhosting site for exactly this reason :(

@sun hey, I can't find the damn url in my messages

@sun got it. thanks again.

ironic that you've been having issues with Markdown translation, my blog is frozen in the exact same state!

@apps please, please, please fix the many bugs which have existed for years

@GrapheneOS lol #Matrix

the totally awesome FOSS-as-in-freedom chat solution that's always 2 years away from working properly

@sun on this one, though, the author hits the mark (for the leftish definition of 'loser')

@sun *poke* on install doc btw ;)
