Additionally microblogging either amplifies trivial matters or minimizes non-trivial matters.

A proper article gives justice to all topics.

Mastodon then becomes just a federated discussion / comments platform, and should be less about creating content on.

Well I think using Mastodon is a failure for me.

I used it for 2 months as a way to share some interesting things or thoughts, and discover the same from others.

It appears though things which are interesting are not frequent, and when they are, deserve more than 500 characters associated with them.

In the end, Mastodon truly is microblogging, but the utility of microblogging seems very niche, and not for me.

Back to the drawing board.

@humberto sshfs is a *nix tool 🙂 I mentioned it for when you're not using Plan 9.

You may want to check out 9front as well. It's much more developed.

@galaxis This is why I keep .txt as my go-to format.

1 line = 1 data entry.

Your notes.txt should be very short lived notes. Anything long-lived should be put into a personal wiki. I use a simple solution of git and adoc.

You should have a bookmarks.txt, 1 line = 1 bookmark.

Backup the txts once a day. That's all you'll ever need.

@humberto If you like that, you may like sshfs.

@phooky It's interesting what you can tell by a key.

I can tell from this picture that the locks these go into had mirrored pins so that the key can go in any way (preventing the key from being jammed and a tooth breaking off).

It also looks like a 4 pin cylinder they go into. Very easy to pick.

Hello Mastodonians, it's been a couple months. I've felt no need to be social sur l'Internet.

A big thing I've been working on is learning formal verification. There is too much to say about it in one 500 character toot.

I've begun entering the world of Canadian law as well, a very interesting place.

In other news: proof-of-work and steganography are powerful when combined.

@brion I don't know how, but QBasic was my first language in ~2005. For some reason it was still "alive and well"... Let's just say as a first language it gave tons of inspiration, but forced me to unlearn a lot 🙂

@brion what happens when memory isn't linear but arranged physically as a 3d cube (which IIRC we come coming to)?

Yes I know it's a shitpost :^)

@fakefred because humans have emotions and evolutionary features which cause certain irrational actions 😎
