Anybody have a recommendation for a free (ideally FOSS), cross-platform program that can forward USB devices over the network? Something you tried and which is actually working? I'd like to plug my USB scanner into my home Linux server and use it on my Windows 10 desktop.

i feel like i cant and wont use masto today, because theres so much neglect for cws regarding a super heavy topic, that its not comfortable for me. im not the only one. we use this platform because these tools are available. i know for me, having the option to only open these posts if i can handle it is something that would make me able to use masto right now...

Also, I know there is a lot of well meaning people here, but honestly, this "suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" advice shit is

NOT

ACTUALLY

HELPFUL

for sooo many people who seriously consider suicide.

Who are you to tell people you literally don't know, who have been feeling depressed and suicidal for *years*, that their problems are only temporary? When they've tried everything and shit just doesn't get better?

It's more complicated.

A lot of you might have seen confusing toots today about it being a sad day for the Mastodon community, suicide prevention stuff etc.

It's because an active Mastodon user, Natalie Nguyen (@tipsytentacle), decided that she didn't want to live anymore and has passed away.

We need to really talk about using content warnings properly, folks. Because people really ignored that part *a lot* with this and it doesn't just suck - it is plain dangerous.

(Briefly thought about following some of my friends into studying #art professionally, but decided I lacked both consistent #style and #bullshitting ability necessary for that.

So instead I got into #programming, mostly in #python. I love coding weird stuff, like #procgen #zines or #bots that tell people how #queer a thing is and my hard disk is littered with projects that went nowhere.

(Like I still have a couple gigs of GG tweets I wanted to analyze using #SocialNetworkAnalysis.)

#introduction

I don't know if I ever did an #introduction post on here, so here's one:

Hi, I'm Minx and I'm a #queer #bisexual #dad. I have #depression and #anxiety-issues, which tends to make me less-than-social and low #spoons. (But I started working on those, so yay!)

People describe me as #reallychill but I'm actually #screaminginside. 😆

I love #notebooks, #fountainpens, #dippens and pretty much anything to do with #paper. (#BOOKS!!! )

There are still traces of #art schooling in me, I guess.

"Smart vehicles". "Smart TVs". "Smart home appliances."

Never forget what "smart" stands for:

S.M.A.R.T. = Smart Machines Are Ransomware Targets

Mich nervt dieses verbreitete Ostdeutschland-Bashing total. Ich bin derartig gegen die Nazis da, aber Herablassung und Verachtung hilft nicht, mit "höhö, wisstschon, Ostdeutschland" über die "Primitiven" in der Provinz lästern … ne ey.

Das hilft keinem, das ist reines "Wir-gegen-die", um sich geil zu fühlen, und mal auf wem rumzuhacken.

Bitte lassts. Das ist unproduktiv, unempathisch, fucking unsolidarisch, und vermeidet die Diskussion und Aufarbeitung tatsächlicher Probleme.

In the course of the :Hosting for yourself and others: group we decided to set up our own Mastodon instance as a collective project.

The kickoff meeting for this will be this Saturday, 04-Nov-2017, 15:00–18:00, at Finowstraße 2a, 10247 Berlin

and we'll try to find a regular date that fits as many people's schedule as possible from there on.

Hope to see you there!

#documentation #writers do you have any insight in sending Alice and Bob to retirement homes? I feel like the reference handbook I'm writing (and rewriting) could be more "fresh" without the old Alice and Bob examples (though I have already made Alice and Bob addressable via cases of 'their' as an experiment in change of text style).

You know one of the things I love?

Ghostery remains at 0 the whole time I use Mastodon. No tracking pixels, no analytics.

It's nice. Thanks @Gargron

I want to do a bit of research on opinions on federation for my #decentwebeu project. I'm digging for arguments in favor of decentralising. Please boost and/or answer any of these questions:

1) How aware are you of the federated nature of this network in your day-to-day use?

2) Which, if any, concepts of federated networks do you find challenging, confusing or foreign?

3) Why are federated networks "better" than centralised social networks (silos)?

(The last question is biased, roll with it)

There seems to be a MAJOR Signal-Desktop bug that allows a person to send and receive messages of another person. That should never be possible to happen! Reason still unclear as of now, help track it down? https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Desktop/issues/1673

IPv6 Address Planning in GavleNet

"A /29, from which we use a /32 for FTTH
... from which we have up to 4,095 /44s to assign to switches
... from each /44 we have sixteen /48s to assign to VLANs
... from each /48 we have 256 /56s to assign to customers
... from each /56, the customer has 256 networks to assign as they see fit!"

Simple and easy to understand, nice.

💯 👌🏾

Hey, @Gargron , I wanted you to see this quote. I think it's relevant to Mastodon. <3

Thank you again, by the way. ^_^
