Currently:

• Caddy (reverse proxy & website)
• Matrix (Synapse)
• E-Mail (maddy)
• Vaultwarden
• Xonotic server
• Resonite headless
• Prometheus + Grafana (internal, monitoring)
• dnscrypt-proxy & dnsmasq (for internal DNS)
• gotosocial (testing)
• cage (kiosk wayland compositor) with kitty and btop for a nice stat display on the device

All of it running from a phone with Linux :3

I used to have Nextcloud on this thing, but I found it to be insanely heavy for what it does and not very useful when I can just chuck files to the web server if I want to share them.

I think what they mean is that someone unfamiliar with your line of work might even read the entire post and come away with it with the view of “Okay, and?” since the title told them this was going to be about “What Does It Mean To Be A Signal Competitor?”

The problem there is that what Signal is is different to different people, someone might for example use it like any other chat application, in which case even something like Telegram (ew) or Discord could be an alternative to them.

Again, if someone is familiar with your blog, they’ll know what you mean, but the blog post can be viewed by someone in isolation, in which case it won’t be so clear, especially since it’s also in relation to moving off of Telegram, which is not an E2EE platform at all by default

Yeah that’s really shitty, I think it got through to the hoomans of lemmy sadly :/

I think hands with pawpads and some proper claws are a good compromise :3

I’d be an anthro, so all the benefits of being hooman without being hooman (except sweating, so you’d be able to outrun me eventually)

Depends, if it’s only biological changes, I’d get myself two hearts, and minimize the chances of any disease or aging knocking me out, then become an anthro folf because being hooman is overrated

If cybernetics are allowed, I’d probably get rid of the damn body and just have a virtual one, with my brain connected to some machine deep underground

Hi!

I think it’s valid, I would love to be able to do that myself, but I am content with my human body for however long it takes to get there (except the part where it’s slowly deteriorating over time)

Other than that, VR is pretty nice

I heccin love this!

Is this the apple protogen? lol

It’s honestly pretty hard for me to find media I can swallow because of having an anxiety trigger that is so common.

Most media has depictions of death or loss in it, and I’ve come across first person descriptions that were so immersive that my heart was actually pounding and I had to take a few days to stop feeling down, and it’s not something the authors usually mention explicitly. So in the end I don’t really watch or read anything serious these days.

That’s really the thing with Steam in general, from a consumer perspective it’s a very good and honest service, it actually adds to the experience of playing games instead of being an annoyance.

A lot of other stores feel like only shells made around popular titles to promote more stuff and lock people into using them. More launchers won’t solve the monopoly of Steam, you’ll just end up with as many as there are streaming services.

That’s not the case for GOG and Itch, but there you don’t get the same level of experience.

Hmm I think my main concern would be lack of kernel/firmware updates, running something like postmarketOS could partly solve that and still be nearly as easy to set up (just unlock and flash a prebuilt image)

But firmware is still almost entirely dependent on the vendor, since it’s all signed and unpatchable.

Next issue would be lack of connectivity on a lot of phones, which have gone backwards and include USB 2.0 now. WiFi is an option, but less stable, I personally decided to just go 100Mbps and suffer.

As for the battery, it would help a lot if phones were designed to boot without one and they were removable, it all worked well for about half a year until I found out I had a spicy pillow and had to replace it with direct power to the board, which made the whole setup much less elegant and required soldering.

It all comes down to how devices are designed in the end. If someone took the time to make a computer instead of just a phone, and included features that make it useful past its initial life that aren’t that popular (display output, microsd, headphone jack), mainlined all the drivers and maintained firmware, that would be a different story.

But that’s not a very profitable model, because it’s all about reducing waste and thus selling less. A lot needs to change.

Yeah, it’s probably worth it to slightly push back against these people irl, because there is a chance that’s the signal they need to change, but online they can just copy your responses around and use them to further their crap. They probably love getting attention inside furry spaces like this one.

Best option is to ignore them, or if you must interact, troll around so it’s at least fun for you instead of being exhausting.

Not sure myself, I’m trying to get into some IT jobs (not necessarily programming) that aren’t anywhere near social media and are more focused on internet infrastructure, but getting any job is hard when you’re starting out and I would like to avoid the evil ones at all cost.

But just as there is no ethical consumption in capitalism, there’s no consensual work, so the values of wherever you end up working won’t align with yourself or the other workers fully, it’s just a question of degree.

Assuming you want to follow from Mastodon, you’d have to replace ! with an @ or just paste the link. Though I wouldn’t recommend it as you’ll get the replies to every post boosted onto your timeline :/

Welcome!

That’s really cool and totally in scope, feel free to share more!

Maybe bark.video?

Damn, you pretty much beat me to everything haha

Yeah, I think being able to tuck your tail underneath a seat with some special hole would work great!

I love furgonomics!

For a sci-fi story I’m slowly chipping away at I’m sort of trying to answer the question of how anthros could arise from humans, so that kinda sidesteps the issue of jealousy, since there would be choice, but it still leaves the other questions.

Maybe tail accessories would be made in multiple sizes and shapes, just like clothes for people are, though if tails and species are custom that could make it even more difficult, and there are so many real animals regardless. I guess in such a technologically advanced world accessories would all be custom made and arbitrary designs could be applied to them.

Something I haven’t seen too many people think about is the health implications of having a tail. Walking on two legs while having a tail would probably cause tail injuries to be common from falls etc., and how do you account for it in infrastructure so it’s safe for all kinds of them? It’s similar to how things in our world aren’t always designed for left-handed users, women or different body types, like cars for example. How would you keep lots of different species with slightly different anatomies, including tails, safe?

Furgonomics aside, I love tails and ears as a form of emotional expression, maybe in part because I’m autistic and would find it easier to express myself this way without the baggage that human body language brings!

Hmm, you could probably extend the protocol to do eventual consistency across instances if that ever becomes a problem, remote instances could keep their own counts and only send aggregated updates.

Welcome! Nice to see animation here as well!
