My friend @j3s explains in very simple and approachable terms how to git gud at shell scripting, and why you would want to do that

Fediverse Observer says it knows of 200 Owncast servers on the #Fediverse. While not every #Owncast server takes part in the Fediverse, that's pretty cool that many people decided to enable it, since that feature is off by default. https://owncast.fediverse.observer/list

Identified connections are up to 3883 out of 7348, and 200 of them had agent forwarding enabled. Kinda tempted to check what GitHub accounts I would have had access to, and whether this could have been a major supply chain attack.

(I have transient debug logs that are not stored anywhere permanent, I don't access the agent connection, and I print a warning when it's offered.)

@joshuatopolsky It’s not just links to Mastodon. It happened to me just using the word mastodon in another context. My link was actually to a story about mastodon DNA being sequenced at the MIT Technology Review

@atomicpoet @kabrams @swims

those characters are *not* meant for formatting. they are for representing mathematical constants. which is why they are from the “mathematical constants” block of unicode.

some screen readers now have heuristics to determine when people are trying to make words with them, but others will literally say “mathematical constant A” etc. others will say nothing, also.

software other than mastodon, including glitch patchset, support using actual HTML to deliver formatting (either via markdown, or raw).

What's the easiest way to set up a simulated network with ISP-style NAT? Preferably without buying dedicated hardware for the purpose, and preferably reproducible for other developers.

Usecase: I am developing a P2P system, and need a reasonably representative environment to test my software in, and how well it deals with shitty residential networking configurations.

I'm a developer, not a network engineer, so my knowledge of networks is limited to a developer perspective and I don't have the spoons to learn it in-depth.

Boosts appreciated :boost_requested:

@forestjohnson My weird rationale for chosing EOL'd ChromeOS devices is that Google publishes when they get EOL'd so I can just check that calendar against whatever devices are best supported by the custom firmware (seabios/coreboot) builds and get a consistent supply of devices that are otherwise destined to become unsupported e-waste.

I set up this thin client computer in my fathers basement today. It cost $35 used on ebay, is fanless at 10W TDP, and has 8GB of RAM.

Seems like a fine time to repost this, instead of purchasing a new SBC consider upcycling an old thin-client instead! You get more GB of RAM per $ that way anyways and some great fanless options exist on ebay for less than $50. I'd link to the article I wrote about this but my home server is down right now and I'm traveling.
