@cjd It's also just more of the same. Apparently, he's putting ex Wall Street bankers in charge of the central bank, instead of shutting it down like he said he would. And he's not going to kill the peso.

@cjd Unfortunate phrasing of my reply perhaps. The changes are massive enough for such a short time frame. But in regards to the currency issues, there aren't any major changes on the horizon yet, unless I missed something.

@thatguyoverthere @white_male I mean, yeah, if you never want to actually upgrade, then you may have to pay. But the free tier for Ubuntu ESM is fairly generous for "the poors" anyway.

To each their own. I would never go back from a rolling distro on my local machine, but I would also never run one in production on hundreds of VMs.

@thatguyoverthere @white_male If i were to switch to something else in prod, it would probably be more along the lines of nixos I think.

@white_male @thatguyoverthere Nobody has staging for all of their production VMs, unless they run very few systems. Wanting hands-off security upgrades for all of your production environments is not lazy, but rational. Staging is mostly for testing application updates, not basic system upgrades.

@thatguyoverthere Everything's a tradeoff. It's nice to never have to re-install or dist-upgrade, but it's also nice to be able to update continuously and without human interaction, with nothing breaking in the process.

Just stumpled upon this new #DID method, and I think this has a chance of working, because it's based on the Mainline DHT that BIttorrent uses:

@ente @lain That's great. Thanks for the detailed write-up!

@ente Looks great! May I ask what you're using for that? Looks like the demo is running on GNOME, so I assume whatever it is is open source?

@lain Sheesh, I hope he won't interfere in the country's long history of top-notch, ever successful economic and monetary policies. Who knows what could happen!

@colby Turns out companies are just groups of people.

All exactly as in real life, and why I love Colombia.

Some interesting thoughts on alternative timelines for #fediverse feeds:

@lain I guess NVMe drives may have changed that situation?

@silverpill @ZekuZelalem @rrb Nice! Have a link for what's to configure?

@rrb @ZekuZelalem There's nothing special to the fediverse in this case. Just making your instance *also* available on a different network for client-to-instance communication.

If you want your instance to live exclusively on Tor or I2P, then you would create a new fediverse, which cannot communicate with the rest, since all normal instances run on clearnet and use DNS for addressing.

@ZekuZelalem @rrb No problem at all. We also make our instance accessible as a hidden service. The steps are basically:

* For convenience, create an Nginx snippet for most of the config so you can easily add more domains/vhosts
* Set up Tor hidden services pointing to port 80 and 443
* Advertise the onion address via the "Onion-Location" HTTP header, so visitors can easily discover it when opening your normal domain in the Tor browser

Example config here: https://gitea.kosmos.org/kosmos/chef/src/branch/master/site-cookbooks/kosmos-mastodon/templates/default/nginx_conf_mastodon.erb

@lukem E-Mail is the only federated protocol that pretty much everyone on the Internet knows and uses, and the user addresses are the same format even. What do you think is a better analogy, if you think this one isn't good enough?
