@aeva I'm all for engineering the environment people are placed in such that it's impossible to do something dangerous or having common sources of danger contained to be safe. IT admins should be making their computers resistant to attacks from weird usb drives instead of putting the respobsibility on users

@cwebber I've been using a less fancy version without the head tracking and I've found it better than laptop screens when I'm on the go. I'm gonna save up a bit to get this new model later this year though.
Would probs need the perscription lens inserts to see clearly. With my current setup I take breaks every 3 hours or more. My current glasses: https://pro.viture.com/

@cwebber Mb one giant virtual display could do the trick :P

@soapdog yeah! I have a lil mould to make triangles 😁

Been experimenting with making sushi at home and it's soooo much better than store bought. It's fun customizing the filling and when I run out of seaweed I can make rice balls. 🥰

Gonna be presenting my Tonal Lenses talk at tonights #AITinkerers meetup in #Ottawa

Hopefully it'll be recorded so I can share it here after

Talk recording! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81cspzAT5eo

@cwebber transition goals 😫💜

@juliobiason What's the benefit in having the extra code?

It'd be nice if this expensive "fiber optic" internet I pay for had basic features like IPv6 🙃

Fun fact: the moon and the stars aren't the only causes of stress.

WTB: a project that can afford to hire me at full time and is doing fun decentralization stuff. It can get hard juggling so many small ones sometimes. 😅

Hot take, #P2P protocols shouldn't use MDNS for peer discovery if they don't plan to use the OS provided APIs for it. Only one process can reliably bind the UDP port necessary for it and it quickly leads to conflicts. At the very least you should use a custom port to avoid conflicting with the OS.

Simulating network requests to test a new feature in @distributed

You know how when you follow an account on Mastodon you don't get to see any of the users older posts unless someone else on your instance follows them? Well if it's a distributed press site it'll attempt to "backfill" your instance with all the older posts once your follow request is accepted. 😎

@thisismissem Probably! What sort were you thinking of?

@thisismissem I assumed timelines would sort by published time no? I'm gonna run some tests before deploying this to production ofc

@thisismissem In mastodon? i'd love to see the source code for it if you know what part of it it'd be in.

@thisismissem It seems to be taking the created_at part out at least. 🤔 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/app/lib/activitypub/activity/create.rb#L122C7-L122C17

I'll look more after testing. Gonna let my personal instance take the bulk o9f the damage :P

@jerry this is exactly why I included some default blocklists in the fedi impl we're working on at distributed press. Having even the bare minimum like garden fence means not having to deal with a large amount of garbage for new and vulnerable users.

OwO What's this? A new way to read through posts on the fediverse?

Come chat with us about it at the #FediForum
