Happy #CommonwealthDay to everyone in the club
The method willPerformPreviewActionForMenuWithConfiguration is too damn long.
Holy moly! This server has handled Yassieboosts and Sodiboosts with relative ease, but it was brought to its knees for almost a minute after an Aliceboost 
To those of you about to try and buy 
@emfElectromagnetic Field tickets: I wish you luck.
There will be more ticket rounds, and the CFP will open soon.
Touchscreen keyboards in place of physical keyboards were a mistake.

Nice! NAT64 in action, My IPv6-only jail can successfully talk with Github. No tayga, just the new "af-to" feature, that the "pf" firewall got in 15.0-RELEASE:
pass in quick on bastille0 inet6 from $jail_net to 64:ff9b::/96 \
af-to inet from ($ext_if) keep state
This is genuinly nice! 🙂
for dumb local mode i think i'd maybe want choice between "resync everything from scratch" and "continue with missed"
Really enjoying this album that I found recently. It is electronic music with a retro vibe and some of the talking clips sound like they are from Computer Chronicles. Very tastefully inserted in some songs.

Congrats to @thisismissem.social@bsky.brid.gyEmelia for the well deserved financial support.
She contributes across atproto and ActivityPub, & with the IETF OAuth standards.

This strange dirt on a snowbank drew my attention: what did someone dump there?
The closeup shows they are millions of Snowfleas (Hypogastrura nivicola) emerging from the depth of the snow to feed on algae, fungi, and detritus.
A sign of spring.

$dayjob is forcing me to touch systemd. I am so glad I have avoided to this point. Next step, move this system off systemd.

What about a nice Midnight Commander-style TUI to manage cells interactively? 🤔
For example....
Emelia has already done so much great standards and auth work behind the scenes, which benefits not just atproto/atmosphere, but also ActivityPub, Solid, and other social web ecosystems.
really excited about the potential for FedCM to make login flows slick and competitive with Google/Apple/Meta

人間にくっつく場合には「付ける」じゃなくて「着ける」なのかしら
but yeah in my case since dids are added manually (only a few repos are watched) i presume that resyncing everything is always cheap, so i don't know why tap won't just do it on startup

Also I love to see more cross protocol work happening. Rising tides can lift all boats.
Folks who want to have protocol wars can wade in and try to hold back the ocean.

part of it is i just don't have any mental model for what actually happens when it's off and then on like does soundness REQUIRE catching up on every firehouse event? or does soundness not require it but "resync everything missed" could be expensive? or there's no technical way to distinguish?

Seems painfully obvious that, whatever you think about #genai code, anyone using it is heading for a code-review logjam. Assuming that the org requires code review; if yours doesn’t, nothing I can say will help you. Anyhow, Rishi Baldawa writes smart stuff about the problem and possible ways forward, in ˚The Reviewer Isn't the Bottleneck”: https://rishi.baldawa.com/posts/review-isnt-the-bottleneck/
[My prediction: A lot of orgs will *not* do smart things about this and will suffer disastrous consequences in the near future.]

El 28 de febrer vam celebrar la segona fedifesta a Alacant, i va ser tot un èxit i molt interessant 😊
Una vintena de persones vam aprendre sobre el fedivers, i cam compartir dades i anècdotes sobre la nostra experiència amb les xarxes socials en general. Molta gent es va fer un compte a Mastodon, i sobretot hem fet comunitat amb persones i col·lectius d'Alacant, i compis de Citical Switch (
@criticalswitch) i Múrcia (
@elena, 
@kyva⁂ Kyva

Very excited for the new projects we have in the works that Jay will now be leading more directly as CIO. She has always been excellent at seeing the vision and knowing where to go, so glad that we're unburdening her from the day to day of running the company.
