@foosel @maartenballiauw Handling that in nginx is an interesting idea. I'd thought I'd have to write a CGI script or something. Nice!
Said bureaucracy included a chain of no less than five university “one site to rule them all” intranets
I got unreasonably frustrated with some university bureaucracy this afternoon (it was truly spectacular as such things go, but…) which served as a reminder that my usual limits and tolerances don’t apply at the moment
@dualhammers thanks. I did start it yesterday! But it was a hectic day
@dualhammers that’s a good question probably best answered with a blog post
@Edent gitlab.com is an instance of the Gitlab software, which is not the same kind of “centralized” as GitHub. Imho, host there is fine so long as you back up your data.
Fediverse meta
@zhenech thanks. that’s good then imho. They’re moderation was stretched
Fediverse meta
I can’t help but think the public perception that Mastodon (rather than the Fediverse) is the Hot New Thing is ultimately bad, and also that the biggest instance (dot social) should really close its doors to new sign ups so the influx gets better distributed
@dualhammers not proud but I found vimwiki+taskwiki (which back ends to taskwarrior) got my work todo lists organised. Still huge room for improvement and I turn off 90% of vimwiki and taskwiki’s features. And I was already using vim so there wasn’t that hill to climb as well
@thomasfuchs @jastsa on similar lines, one of mine is Hildur Guðnadóttir
@thomasfuchs @jastsa I’ve lost track but did Jóhannsson’s incomplete work for BR2049 ever see the light of day?
@rob_sheridan welcome to the Fediverse!
@ohrenweide @BBC6MusicBot Ah. I only discovered you when trying to register an account of the same name on the same instance. That explains that. I shall preach the word
@ohrenweide @BBC6MusicBot I had sketched out writing my own Fediverse one before I found you here, saved me a job :)
Two cool-looking instances: https://wandering.shop/public and https://climatejustice.social/public
Pleased to see my fave twitter bot is on the Fediverse already: @BBC6MusicBot
@goatless OK that's useful. Thanks
@goatless which handle did you use: my personal/vanity one?
