Whoever runs fediblock.org:

I'm trying to standardize blocklists. (yes I know, me of all people, etc.) My client uses this standard, and I believe it's currently the only client that supports lists of any kind. Please also export your list as a flat text file in this format...

ActorURIorInstance<space>reason\n

example:

https://domain.tld/ Allows some bad thing
https://anotherdomain.tld/users/user02 Did some bad thing

Dead simple. Client interprets everything after the first space as a comment. User can subscribe to any number of lists.

Boosts welcome, but whoever runs fediblock.org definitely blocks me, so straight up copying and pasting this is preferred. Open standards matter. I'll happily reduce my own audience to make it happen.

@KitsuneAlicia
Hold on... rOS has a complete system emulator; let's load Alicia into it and sim the conversation...

"this system is so horrible it's so terrible what can I do to fix it?"

"Vote."

"But neither guy is promising to give people who agree with me the ability to censor, subjugate, jail, torture, or kill people who don't."

"then I guess you aren't too interested in fixing it, good job letting perfect become the enemy of good"

"Well actually the power dynamics of the social construct relative to the crypto-fascism and allochiset binary privilege, clearly show the inherent inequalities in colonial cisnormativity, and thus the multiple-conciousness objectivity of microinvalidations and settler fragility in the core of value-neutral gender equilibrium for post-modern metanormatove matrix of domination and intercorporeality through..."

And that's why I don't like webdevs

I used to work for a certain company that made certain software, and this software had to pass a security audit in order to comply with certain government regulations, so that certain customers could legally use our software for certain needs.

The audit process was basically as follows. Our guy went to their office with a usb stick containing our software and a suitcase containing a metric fuckton of money. Later he returned without a suitcase but with our software signed using their public key.

Now you know how software is audited for use in large government organizations.

"Who has time for 'Boil, boil, toil and trouble' these days!? I just put that shit in the instant pot."

GitHub’s CEO wants to help get youtube-dl reinstated. PR move? Most definitely Still appreciated though https://torrentfreak.com/riaas-youtube-dl-takedown-ticks-of-developers-and-githubs-ceo-201027/

Donald Trump’s website briefly defaced by cryptomining scammers

I sometimes wonder if some technologists, especially the type who’s entire personality is built around being a programmer, don’t want the same technology they use to be accessible to the masses because this would destroy their fragile identity built on techno-elitism.

Guys in programming:

Flapping your degrees around and randomly *demanding* the programming credentials NOW of someone who dares to make a thing you notice while not being another guy... is NOT a good look.

Don't be this fucking guy.

Pursuant to RFC-FU-RIAA, I am making youtube-dl source code available at a .well-known location on this domain.

https://ligma.pro/.well-known/youtube-dl-latest.tar.gz

This is a symlink to the latest version, which you can also download directly....

https://ligma.pro/.well-known/youtube-dl-2020.09.20.tar.gz

If you are an instance admin, I thoroughly recommend you join me by making youtube-dl source available at the same locations on your domain, too!

I have brought up an RSS-to-ActivityPub server. It can convert any RSS feed into a ActivityPub actor, so that one can follow them from Mastodon, Misskey or other ActivityPub compatible platforms to receive updates of the feed.
It's still under development so please do not abuse.
https://portal.0svc.com

I have modified the code so that it should be compatible with latest version of Mastodon, Pleroma and Misskey.

Feel free to report any issues on GitHub:

@rysiek @thegibson Has to do with how GH handles different forks of a repo. Seems they're just branches in the parent repo rather than their own intendant repo. (namespaced by username or something) Makes total sense.

The "bug" is that you can fork someone else's repo, push a commit to your fork, and view the commit on the parent repo, (or anyone else's fork of that repo for that matter) hence the commit hash in the URL. If you click on the commit, you'll see a note that the commit you're viewing isn't part of any branch in that repository.

OMG, am dying!!!

Someone used the bug GitHub refused to fix, that allows you to add a commit to a repo you don’t control... to upload YouTube-dl to the DMCA request repo on GitHub.
