@generalx When I lived in Los Angeles for a bit, we used to gather at my apartment, smoke some weed, and watch Wally George. Considering how things stand now, it's not a funny anecdote anymore, but anecdote nonetheless.

@johnefrancis Probably someone else. I’m the OCTranspo/STM/LRT ranter @mayintoronto

@FloraIncognita_DE There was no question. I just thanked @lumiukko for pointing me to floraincognita.com for identifications, with a qualification: https://sfba.social/@jeridansky/116621237180702036But thank you for the link!

@commonst @ShaulaEvans are these concerns something that you’re interested in addressing? or just good excuses to reject AI?what are your other concerns? maybe, just like “where the servers are”, something can be done about them. what do you mean when you say AI “listens” to conversations, is that different than your smartphone “listening” for you to say “hey google”? do you turn your phone off during therapy?

@Bright5park Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the devs at #Vaultwarden are pro-vibecode. It already contains vibecode - I asked them directly on their matrix channel.

@blag check out common place by @dajbhttps://commonplace.dynamicskillset.com/

@jerome I used to use TownCrier, but it’s gone

@darkcat09 why would a hosting provider go through all that?

@konstruct VPN is literally whatever classifies as a Virtual Private Network.A VPN could be a fake overlay network that allows you to connect to a gateway (router) hosted on some company's server so that all your internet traffic is routed there (what you're probably thinking of as the commercial variety)Or it could just be a way to connect to your home devices that are on the same VPN, or all of your home if the VPN endpoint you connect to also routes to the LAN there..or both at once.

@intrepidhero @ike >Signal is a good thought. I don't know enough about its design to say whether its end-to-end encryption would hold up to a MITM on an untrusted network.Sure, just as long as you verify the "safety numbers" and keep them verified. As per normal...Everything does TLS these days so there would not be much of a difference if you are specifically concerned about surveillance of "the last mile" network.

@timixretroplays I'm currently leaning towards carrying a raidz2 copy of my home backup in my backpack, as that would technically count as offsite. Seems slightly safer compared to VPS provider error/hw failure, and I/O will never suck.

@dansup @lumi I... Think they were lying

@moelassus @eniatitova The pills are actually really easy to give him, since they are small. It's cutting a small pill into tiny fractions that's hard — so if I can get pills made to proper low dosage, I'll be set. But the lotion in a pen is a new one to me, so I'm glad you mentioned it, even if I don't think I need it at the moment.

@julian > think you might be asking for a few too many features which end up excluding every softwareThen there's some dev to be done to strap together a package that covers this use case. Before PieFed having both blogs and events would have required 2 apps (or a CMS with at least 2 plugins, for AP support and events calendar).Again, I find myself thinking about reimplementing from scratch using Hypermedia-Driven Architecture ...

@julian @paige thanks, I've watched a few already. Awesome event, great production as well:)
