Fediverse people, is it just me or does Mastodon feel like early Twitter? I feel genuinely interested and invested in your posts and despite you being strangers... I care about your well-being. I'm not alone in this right?

One thing my dad absolutely SPLURGED on when building our family home was insulation. Like a foot or two of polystyrene on a foot thick concrete walls.

TO ALL: Splurge on insulation. Compared to heating costs, it pays for itself

Besides, redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS is a flawed idea.

The browsers should always try HTTPS first, and only if it doesn't work, try HTTP.

If they MITM your first connection, they can downgrade you to HTTP in both approaches.

If there's HSTS, the you type link w/o scheme, and you get MITMed on _second_ connection, you're protected in both approaches.

The approach w/o redirect saves a round-trip and increases support for older devices.

Facebook is the least trusted tech company, for handling personal data: http://fortune.com/2018/11/08/mark-zuckerberg-facebook-reputation/

I have been wondering: how quickly could a site like Facebook die? I think it could happen very quickly, if there were an alternative platform. Once the network effect shifts from Facebook to something else, it's basically Myspace city. The challenge is establishing that network effect somewhere else.

Haven't turned heat on all day. This house is insulated with black magic.

I feel like mental dog shit. Huge wave of depression. Craving a drink after a long time of sobriety. My attitude towards everything is "fuck it" right now. I guess as long as I don't leave the house I won't get myself into any trouble...
