@engelbart Yeah I was going from memory mostly, I can see now (e.g 2 year minimum bet) that it's not what you were looking for. 😆

@engelbart longbets.org?

@fasterthanlime @eddyb

I don't know what this about, but someone needs to learn about rebase, imho.

@Elucidating
Welp, it's the turbofish, which is a weird thing that was brought into being by the avoidance of the weird tax, which is to by following the same stupid <> syntax for templates that C++ uses, wheareas they should have used [], or even «» or even removing > > as an operator (what's so wrong about rsh(x)), and lsh(x) instead, how often do we need to do a fucking bitshift anyway?) and so here we are answering questions that should have never have been needed to be posed.

@astronomerritt

It's an awful social problem, but also an interesting technical one. How do you allow for federation via hash tags without allowing any random racist to spin up a server every day in order to harass all the blm and woke tags they can find in their timeline before they are blocked?

I am new to the fediverse, but it seems to me that the defaults are wrong, new instances (and perhaps accounts) should have limited privilege until they prove themselves to be good citizens. Currently they are allowed all the privilege until they prove themselves to be bad, which is a perpetual game of whack-o-mole.

This would require a bit more communal effort of course, and it's not at all clear how that would be done. But if possible, it would be much better than the current situation, as long as there is some kind of gradual process when instances go rotten. This is the other side of the coin, instances can be de-federated from small infractions, whereas a gradual and considered approach would be preferable.

No clue if that is even technically feasible with the current protocols, but I felt like musing on this topic.

@anson @fasterthanlime

I don't know about a list, but there's this service, of unknown quality: https://fba.ryona.agency/?domain=qoto.org

I usually double check if it's a instance I'm curious about, usually but not always listed in their about page.

@fasterthanlime

I guess people are upset that the feds are creating an account on the infosec.exchange instance. But in any case, maybe consider a different instance? octodon.social has a block list a mile long, I'm surprised I can even follow you since qoto.org is on it. It probably means this post won't reach you, sadly.

@freemo tbh it’s just an excuse to feed our gobs. The original meaning has been lost like Christmas and nobody wants to really think about it. If they do they drown it with alcohol. It’s murica. Yeeha!

@radehi @freemo

FWIW The only way I got the listing to format correctly posting to myself was 1) post in plain text mode 2) in markdown mode, prepend 4 spaces to each line (which sucks, obviously)

4 backticks didn't work. code tag didn't work.

@jxf
I believe that if you don't like the moderation policy of your instance you should move. The only drawback (that I know about) to a smaller instance is the local feed will be less busy. However if you select a instance aligned to your interests, it will have more interesting posts. So hachyderm sounds about right from what I know about you.

@tschak
This guide to reducing exe sizes also explains each reduction.

@Psyklone Arduino dev environment is C++, although it's been simplified as far as build environment. Given your interest in microcontrollers, sounds like a good place to start.

@freemo @trinsec @khird *from hachyderm* <- forgot that part

@freemo @trinsec @khird

So the people I was following (I think at least 2) are gone from my following list, do I have to refollow them, or will they reappear at some point?

@freemo @trinsec @khird

That's true about the last three, octodon even blocks fosstodon.org, I dunno why anyone would be one it.

I'm going from the list from

https://fba.ryona.agency/?domain=qoto.org

I don't know how it gathers it's information, but hachyderm.io is still on it, which has people I really want to follow. I will remain patient though and hope things work out.

More concerning to me is that Qoto is now being blocked by a couple servers on joinmastodon and some other ones I also recognize:

hachyderm.io
mastodon.technology
octodon.social
pettingzoo.co
mastodonapp.uk

There's probably more, I got tired of looking.

@freemo @trinsec @khird

@ambulocetus Frenchy!

@RetroGrouch Not the rust I was looking for, but you get a follow anyway!
