also I have this stream of consciousness .txt file and I need to clean it up so I can use it as a scripted conversation (or I could just dump the file somewhere and probably get blocked and maybe publicly shamed because ~words~ fuck words honestly >.<) #actuallyautistic

rules for following me: you must not be hated by me.

I decided to make that explicit, because as an #actuallyautistic person I noticed I often miss that unwritten rule about places. I often get banned not because I broke any (written) rules but because the admins hate me.

(honestly fuck unwritten rules >.<)

WHEN NEW TOOTS APPEAR WHEN YOU'RE CLICKING A TOOT (and you accidentally click a link or the fav button or whatnot on a different toot)

I've been moving away from github for new projects, ever since I read the following blog post

https://where.coraline.codes/blog/my-year-at-github/ (CW for transphobia, sexism, among other things)

I suggest that anyone reading this should do the same. Popular alternatives include gitlab and bitbucket.

Thank you.

@Jo @bea @kibi stop tracking my internet usage times imo

@Concerned_Commy men taste like crap?

@grainloom p2p makes it so mirrors themselves benefit from the lack of a mirrorlist - they also get downloading from multiple mirrors by default.

unlike rsync.

@grainloom with a normal package manager, I can't get more than 1/8 my total bandwidth, I've tried every mirror I could find for it. the only solution would be a downloader that downloads from multiple mirrors but I didn't wanna fiddle with the package manager that much.

a p2p package manager does it automatically as part of the protocol, and it auto-configures the mirrorlist at runtime. (some discovery mirrors may be necessary, but the bandwidth requirements of those are extremely low.)

@grainloom you mean you should be able to run the p2p client on port 80 and it should look like HTTP?

@grainloom The OS package manager uses a p2p protocol. There are no mirrorlists.

@grainloom I can't run the mirrors on port 80, because the mirrors run in usermode.

Technically I could run partial mirrors on port 80, but I think a lot of users would be quite upset by that. Or alternatively have the option to configure the p2p client to run on port 80.

(But, then, would I also need to handle DPI for HTTP headers?)

@grainloom I can't run the OS on port 80. it's literally impossible unless I disable linux's "root for less than 1024" somehow (custom kernel?), but that has other issues I think.

@grainloom my OS doesn't work behind port 80 precisely because I require everyone to allow all ports.

If you wanna use my OS in some organization, you'll be forced to allow all ports.

While that'll make it mostly unpopular with organizations, it still has the potential to make many of them change. I'd also benefit from getting other OSes on board.

@grainloom don't let me break your computer, tho! :P

@grainloom I don't remember the specifics, but I do remember reading something about an offset.

@grainloom yeah but it's calculated with an offset. can't you force it to -100 somehow?

@grainloom don't you have to set it at -100 or something?

I'm going to bed, good night o/

@Viktor yeah... I'm trying to deal with IM and would like some copypastable responses and stuff, if that makes sense?

@Viktor what about text? .-.
