oh fuck you could totally do sensitive media hide/show + blur in pure css

homophobia, important 

Please keep an eye out for people trying to brand monkeypox as a "gay disease", explicit or otherwise, and push back hard and early!

I've already started seeing the same kind of "the damn gays fucking everywhere" rhetoric that also popped up during the first years of the AIDS epidemic in the US. That rhetoric was directly responsible for (tens of?) thousands of deaths.

We absolutely *cannot* afford to let homophobes gain control over the public narrative around monkeypox, and let them use it to once again kill queer folks by denying them crucially important healthcare. :boosts_ok_gay:

"ah yes I can try a bit more grounds with this new coffee"

3 sips in and I already feel the caffeine. tastes so delicious tho

code for exporting Mastodon instance suspensions 

very quick and dirty script to turn an instance's public block list into a csv that can (sort-of) import

output="";
Array.from(document.getElementsByTagName("table")[1].getElementsByTagName("tr")).forEach((row) => {
console.log(row)
let domain = row.querySelector("span");
if (domain != undefined) {
let reason = row.querySelector("td:nth-child(2)").textContent.trim().replace(/"/g, "");
output += `${domain.textContent.trim()},suspend,false,false,"${reason}",false\n`;
}
})
console.log(output)

you can go to an instance's /about/more page and run it in the browser console

what if i did freelancing but someone else did all the icky bits and i just had projects to work on

180 euros a year is like nothing for a company their size but I know they're super stingy on the website stuff...

work+ 

checked my expectations and it should be fully within my right to keep the code, I wrote it for them but did not give a license agreement, and it's running on my own server (they only pay a hosting cost to me). Will ask them for 15 euros a month, pretty decent since they already pay 44 to Wix, and these are some key interactive components for their product pages

work oof 

finally going to send an email to the shitty company I still do hosting for. I'm like 9 months overdue on sending them a new invoice, which is on me, but I will be doing a sizeable price increase for the months to come if they still want the service..
because either they pay me more money and the cool interactive bits of their sites keep working, or they have to figure something out themselves, they don't even have a webdesigner employed oof

So, pretty cool can import and export domain blocks

- but why does it struggle to parse basic CSV without any visible error, just an "oops something went wrong" having to view the logs to get any clue

- choke on a suspend reason containing an emoji, "incompatible character encodings: ASCII-8BIT and UTF-8'", what year is this??

mastodon is so fuckin annoying to set up, terrible mess of reverse proxy headers and blocked hosts. How is it that literally every other proxied software I set up doesn't have to deal with this

I see glitch-soc instances have a version tag v3.4.6+glitch, but glitch-soc doesn't seem to tag releases so like how does that work?

making nice progress again today though, refactored cosmos' nixos config which was the last file that wasn't split into it's distinct service components yet. Now going to add a glitch-soc test instance to it, which we'll eventually migrate social.pixie.town to
