 @Gargron subway tooter does, at least? not sure if anyone else has done so, though... Documentation updates: I've written details about the majority of environment variables in Mastodon: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/config/ And I wrote about how to proxy S3 stuff through nginx to save money: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/optional/object-storage-proxy/

@Gargron Watered my plants, washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, wrote documentation, released 3.2.0

After GitHub put an archive of Mastodon code into arctic ice it got me thinking how dependent our rollout mechanism is on contemporary infrastructure like RubyGems and NPM. That bit us in the ass at least one time when a release of Mastodon became uninstallable because a package author removed a specific version of a package. At least our Docker images are entirely self-contained/pre-built.

@Gargron this is why I've started hosting my own gitea, drone ci, and Verdaccio instances. Would recommend.  @Gargron Build on top of Debian/sid. Old distro releases aren't going to get yanked from under you, and the state of the rolling release is always internally consistent. Including cross-language dependencies: a problem RubyGems and NPM generally ignore. My #npmgate rant: https://mastodon.social/@angdraug/104437604978529955

Sometimes you just need to make someone listen to The Dear Hunter, you know? It's just how it is I probably go way overboard with supplementary material when I listen to it with other people. It's like when you point out the Peter Jackson cameo in the Lord of the Rings movies, except with recurring musical themes that represents a specific character and doing lyric analysis right then and there MDN doesn't say this, do Access-Control-Allow-Methods and Access-Control-Allow-Headers have defaults if you don't return those headers? I.e. would it be sufficient to just have Access-Control-Allow-Origin for static files to be served? Need it for a documentation thing. @Gargron i didn’t realise that *-Methods existed, and it’s been years since I set it up myself, and at the least “get” worked just fine without me being aware that *-Methods existed. so for it to not work now in some browser would mean that browser broke backwards compatibility with my site. (which i haven’t checked) Matrix has really shaped up since the first time I’ve used it. Just installed Element on my phone.

 @Gargron I have high hopes, but it still just took me like half an hour of screwing around to get the IRC bridge working on Element. Will keep hoping that all that nice public investment will make the difference. |
@gargron i mean.. it's just the latest shiny "AI" "machine learning" thing. people were equally 👀 about megahal or whatever.

tl;dr no, you're probably not. It's a nice and expensive autocompletion algorithm, quite far away from AGI :p
@Gargron No. I think it’s rational not to be. But I guess people who are close to the subject matter tend to get their feelings hurt when we shrug at the advances in their field. It is impressive but only in the “dancing bear” sort of way. Yea they got a bear to dance...not well, and it doesn’t know what it’s doing but it’s an accomplishment
