I actually have accounts on multiple #Mastodon instances, with each account focusing on a different topic. I'm a #Rubyist, but I'm also a #cybersecurity consultant, a business owner, train service dogs, run a non-profit, sit on several boards, and write a lot. Oh, and I'm a gamer, too.
I separate accounts to keep my feeds relatively topical. It says something nice about the #RubyLang community that about 80% of my total #fediverse followers are on #rubysocial.
Thank you all for engaging!
Since I'm on a roll, how come infosec.exchange allows posts of up to 10k characters but #rubysocial only gives me 500? Not all things programming can be expressed in a ½ kilo of chars.
And OMG do I wish this instance supported #CommonMark and an easier way to escape octothorpes when discussing #RubyLang methods! Writing methods as :foo instead of \#foo or `#foo` just seems cumbersome, and the latter two show up as hash tags anyway!
Since a lot of #Rubyists use #macOS, I thought I'd ask this on #rubysocial too.
P.S. I wish #mastodon supported "boost with comment" even if I understand why they don't.
It's easy enough to integrate #TouchID on #macOS for #sudo inside #pamd, but I haven't found a good way to use it for things like privileged installers. Which PAM configuration module controls authentication for this on Ventura?
