So it was a fake root prompt which tricked the bots into believing that they logged in successfully but in reality the prompt could do nothing on the system?
The overarching goal is an experimental system to make ActivityPub federation stuff clearer for devs, sysadmins and advanced users.
The documentation is incomplete and the code is really not OK! But they always say it's better to get stuff out the door for others to look at sooner. Maybe it inspires others to think about the Fediverse/ActivityPub in weird new ways!
Very interesting. It would certainly make doom scrolling harder. Email always feels more personal, like each message was sent specifically to me for a reason. As opposed to feeds, which feels like looking at cars as they drive by.
I think this system pushes against those boundaries. This sort of concrete brainstorming at the edges is such a crucial part of software evolution, so thank you.
I would actually love this. I use email for everything, it is so nice to have everything come to the same place. Right now I follow a few Mastodon users via an RSS-to-Email service, but the problem with that is that you can’t follow private accounts/see followers-only toots. It would be great to have a full email bridge.
I was considering making this myself at one point. But I think one of the big problem with ActivityPub is that it describes a single particular account. So if my ActivityPub-email bridge was running you wouldn’t also be able to access a Mastodon UI and for example browse other posts. So my account would need to be email-only which would be missing UX for a lot of things (like commenting on a random post I was linked to).
@atzanteol All's good. Yea, reason for the post was that even though I took the partitions offline it wouldn't still let me resize. So I think the best next move would be just booting into a USB and see if it lets me.
The whole disk well, only the boot is separated. The rest of the partition has the whole space controlled by LVM. Interestingly even though that may be the setup something was just rejecting my resize request.
Sadly have more to say but Mastodon limit is hitting haha. nutshell

🔸 config.conf is the neofetch config file I use (only the first block of code is relevant)
I had to use a custom "OS" line in the config files because it would display debian instead of antiX, so if you use the file put back the default line :
[...]OS" distro
instead of :
[...]OS" "antiX 23 Arditi del Popolo"
🔸 config.conf.alts was my work-in-progress config file when I was obsessively trying different variations on the same look to find just the right one, if you run it they will display the variations one after the other (might take a while 😅 )
🔸 .bashrc for the alias to make neofetch use a custom distro logo Basically just add :
alias neofetch='neofetch --ascii ~/path-to-custom-ascii-logo.txt
at the end of the .bashrc
(Yes I also added a line to autolaunch neofetch each time I open a terminal 😁 )
ICYMI, the "Book of Love" zoom panel was really interesting; the planned hour because two.
I understand that participants will get a link to the recorded video in the next few days, and I'll ask whether it's okay to share here, for your viewing pleasure.
And we have a link! Sunday's panel discussing The Book of Love, with authors Sandra Kitt, Beverly Jenkins and Kelly Link, moderated by genre romance historian Steve Ammidown, can be watched on the Romance Bookstore YT channel here:
When I was younger, I might decide to take an earlier bus stop and walk some extra instead of having to talk with someone I know and was riding the same bus. It's not that they were bad people, I just didn't know how to talk with them. I kicked myself for this: why can't I be a normal person?
Now that I've understood I'm autistic, I can cut myself some slack. It's perfectly ok to walk extra to avoid talking with someone. It makes it easier for my mental health.
But in reality it’s just someone with the body of an adult and the mentally of a toddler screaming nonsense and punching themself in the face while simultaneously blaming everyone else for it and declaring victory.
