Deutsche Bahn just said all trains are cancelled until further notice so I'm not sure what happens with my travel tomorrow

@Gargron some trains will work, but never expect the @DB_Bahn@twitter.com to be on time.

Mark

@Gargron That's alot less than the NMBS. Though Brussels south was hell this morning..

Eugen Rochko

There's no train connection to Vienna today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow that I can find. Can't get a refund for the hotel reservation though 😦

@Gargron hello. I want to become Mastodon contributor to help you with frontend and design, but I have not experience with Ruby stack. Can you please help me with installation of Mastodon on macOS or Fedora? I spent a week trying.

Eugen Rochko

A new utility in #Mastodon 3.1.0 is `tootctl media remove-orphans`. Orphaned files are files that the database believes have been removed, but actually aren't. If your server has been around for a long time, it's likely that you have at least some of those due to various previous bugs and object storage glitches.

For mastodon.social, it was able to remove 619 GB worth of files.

Please mind that API requests necessary for this command can incur extra charges with your object storage provider.

@Gargron my instance isn't old enough. nothing saved sadly.

Pavlo Tyshchenko

@Gargron Thank you!
The OSRC https://osrc.pw/ instance was upgraded successfully to v.3.1.0!
🎉 🍹

Manuel Viens

@Gargron Would it be complicated to add --days parameter to the tootctl media remove-orphans command to avoid S3 extra fees, at Wasabi for example? 90 days by default would be ideal in my opinion. Thank you!

I'm starting to get nervous about the trip on Monday. Gotta pack my bag...

Something I want to figure out how to do is compact trending hashtags that are almost the same thing, like #DelhiElections2020 and #DelhiPolls2020. But I don't really know how to approach that right now

@Gargron I wonder if there’s some cross-pollination between how #SSB allows unique canonical users to be tagged “same-as”? In their case it allows a unique ID for eg mobile and desktop accounts to be understood as being from the same person. Something similar could work for hashtags

@Gargron You could use something like worldnet. https://wordnet.princeton.edu/
Those two tags you gave would be very close together in terms of lexical semantics (each word has a similar meaning). Like if you look up "domain term categories" for election you can see how poll is related. http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?o2=1&o0=1&o8=1&o1=1&o7=1&o5=1&o9=&o6=1&o3=1&o4=1&s=election&i=2&h=10000000#c
If you could order tags in a way that total lexical distance in wordnet = distance in lexical rank. And then show tags that are within a range of lexical rank.

If you could rank tags in a way that total lexical distance would correspond to a higher distance in rank. And then show tags that are within a range of lexical rank.

The Iowa voting app, by the sounds of it, wasn't even using https

The article doesn't state it explicitly but that's exactly what it sounds like

@Gargron since most of the official reporting isn’t making this clear: the app was only intended to get estimated reports to the press faster—the official vote was tallied on paper, as had always been the plan

Like, the app is a total shitshow and a total embarrassment for american politics, but none of this nonsense actually effected election security, just election /reporting/

@Gargron Call this crap out instead of dancing around it.

Eugen, have a look here:

The Iowa Caucuses App Had Another Problem: It Could Have Been Hacked

While there is no evidence hackers intercepted or tampered with the results, a security firm consulted by ProPublica found that the app lacks key safeguards.

Oh wait, a new Leprous album came out in October and nobody told me

Anyone here read the Voyage of the Space Beagle? I don't have a point, just curious

@Gargron If there aren't any actual beagles then what's the point?

Lien Rag

@Gargron

A long time ago, yes.
Classic Van Vogt.
Why ?

Jan v/d Broek

@Gargron IIRC A.E. Van Vogt.
I've read it about forty years ago. Did it involve a "Nexiologist" (or something like that), someone combining several fields of science, and was able to teleport later on?

Have I gotten anyone into The Dear Hunter? Will I get anyone into The Dear Hunter? I don't know 😕

Ignacio Torres Masdeu

@Gargron sounds good. I'll listen to it.

As you like progressive rock, do you know Harmonium?
