So, I've bridged my account via brid.gy to Bluesky. I'm looking for suggestions of bridged accounts on both sides, ones for me to follow and ones for me to suggest to people on Bluesky to tempt them to the dark... I mean AP side.
(For those not aware on the AP side: if you follow the account bsky.brid.gy@Bridgy Fed for Bluesky your account will become available to Bluesky users, no more than it is to any other instance and likewise blocking will block the bridge like any other instance. Bluesky users that have bridged will become <username>@Bridgy Fed for Bluesky, your username will become @username.ap.brid.gy, with the @ in your username becoming a period much like how mine changes from shiri@foggyminds.com to @shiri.foggyminds.com.ap.brid.gy, your profile link... because so many people on Bluesky don't know how to search a frikkin username is going to be something like bsky.app/profile/shiri.foggymi…)
(For those on the Bluesky side: if you follow the account @ap.brid.gy you'll be accessible via the ActivityPub fediverse. Unlike Bluesky the fediverse is properly federated and has absolutely no dependency on any corporation, individual people can easily run their own completely independent nodes and do so on reasonable hardware. If you do your account will become <username>@Bridgy Fed for Bluesky on the fediverse and you'll be able to access accounts at @username.ap.brid.gy with the @ sign in the normal AP username turning into a ., like how mine changes from shiri@foggyminds.com to @shiri.foggyminds.com.ap.brid.gy)
L'époque et le monde, l'argent et le pouvoir, appartiennent aux êtres médiocres et fades. Quant aux autres, aux êtres véritables, ils ne possèdent rien, si ce n'est la liberté de mourir. Il en fut ainsi de tout temps et il en sera ainsi pour toujou

Extrait de l'ouvrage " Le Loup des steppes" de Hermann Hesse (1927):
Mais je pense maintenant à ton préféré, mon ami, dont tu m'as parfois parlé et dont tu m'as aussi lu des lettres, à Mozart. Comment était-ce avec lui? Qui, en son temps, a régné sur le monde, empoché l'argent, donné le ton et compté pour quelque chose: Mozart ou les hommes d'affaires, Mozart ou les dizaines d'hommes superficiels ? Et comment est-il mort et enterré? Et je pense qu'il en a peut-être toujours été ainsi et qu'il en sera toujours ainsi, et que ce qu'on appelle dans les écoles «l'histoire universelle» et qu'il faut apprendre par cœur pour se former, avec tous les héros, les génies, les grandes actions et les grands sentiments - ce n'est qu'une escroquerie, inventée par les maîtres d'école à des fins éducatives et pour que les enfants soient tout de même occupés à quelque chose pendant les années prescrites. Il en a toujours été ainsi et il en sera toujours ainsi: le temps et le monde, l'argent et le pouvoir appartiennent aux petits et aux superficiels , et rien n'appartient aux autres, aux vraies personnes . Rien d'autre que la mort.
|L'époque et le monde, l'argent et le pouvoir, appartiennent aux êtres médiocres et fades. Quant aux autres, aux êtres véritables, ils ne possèdent rien, si ce n'est la liberté de mourir. Il en fut ainsi de tout temps et il en sera ainsi pour toujours.|
@Cory Doctorow Pinging to see what your opinion is on Bridgy Fed, the Bluesky - AP bridge. I know you have expressed strong negative feelings towards Bluesky that mirror my own, but I haven't caught mention of the bridge yet.
This is brought about especially because I'm trying to convince friends that have bought in to Bluesky to at least bridge and am trying to find bridged accounts to recommend to sweeten the pot (and maybe show them that there are better options than Bluesky...)

Extrait de "A gift for God: prayers and meditations" de Mère Teresa (1975):
Essayons dès le début de vivre l'esprit des Missionnaires de la Charité, qui est celui d'un abandon total à Dieu, d'une confiance affectueuse les uns envers les autres et d'une bonne humeur à l'égard de tous. Si nous acceptons vraiment cet esprit, alors, à coup sûr, nous serons les véritables co-ouvriers du Christ, porteurs de son amour. Cet esprit doit rayonner de votre propre cœur vers votre famille, votre voisin, votre ville, votre pays, le monde. Insistons de plus en plus sur la collecte de fonds pour l'amour, la bonté, la compréhension et la paix. L'argent viendra si nous cherchons d'abord le Royaume de Dieu; le reste sera donné.

L'ignorance est un crépuscule, le mal y rode. Songez à l'éclairage des rues, soit, mais songez aussi, songez surtout, à l'éclairage des esprits.

Extrait du discours d'ouverture de Victor Hugo au Congrès Littéraire International de 1878. Nous sommes le 17 juin 1878:
Ah! la lumière! la lumière toujours! la lumière partout! Le besoin de tout c'est la lumière. La lumière est dans le livre. Ouvrez le livre tout grand. Laissez-le rayonner, laissez-le faire. Qui que vous soyez qui voulez cultiver, vivifier, édifier, attendrir, apaiser, mettez des livres partout; enseignez, montrez, démontrez; multipliez les écoles; les écoles sont les points lumineux de la civilisation.
Vous avez soin de vos villes, vous voulez être en sûreté dans vos demeures, vous êtes préoccupés de ce péril, laisser la rue obscure; songez à ce péril plus grand encore, laisser obscur l'esprit humain. Les intelligences sont des routes ouvertes; elles ont des allants et venants, elles ont des visiteurs, bien ou mal intentionnés, elles peuvent avoir des passants funestes; une mauvaise pensée est identique à un voleur de nuit, l'âme a des malfaiteurs; faites le jour partout; ne laissez pas dans l'intelligence humaine de ces coins ténébreux où peut se blottir la superstition, où peut se cacher l'erreur, où peut s'embusquer le mensonge. L'ignorance est un crépuscule; le mal y rôde. Songez à l'éclairage des rues, soit; mais songez aussi, songez surtout, à l'éclairage des esprits.

People think Linux needs you to constantly open the terminal to work on things, in part because they see Linux users so often opening the terminal to work on things...
Was just appreciating this morning that the "opening the terminal to fix it" in Linux is a privilege, not a limitation lol.
Sound started glitching this morning, I of course checked the soundbar, unplugged and replugged it, didn't fix it. Switched to TV speakers same problem.
Me being a techie, I'm going "Ah, pipewire glitched out", I pop open the terminal type systemctl --user restart pipewire and voila sound is perfectly fine again.
Do I expect other people to know how to do that to handle an odd sound glitch? No! I expect them "turn it off and on again".
The difference is that in Windows that's the only choice, probably the same with Mac too.

I've been using Linux exclusively¹ since late 2010, and the main reason I use the command line is because it makes me feel like a l337 h4xx0r.

Looking to use Friendica a bit more
Lately I've been trying to convince myself to use social media more, so I can actually socialize and not just spend all my time watching YT.
I actually used to use reddit chronically, but at this point I haven't posted anything in months and that's been a plus in my opinion.
I started by using Discord more (I know, ABSOLUTELY PROPRIETARY(TM), but I joined a really good server that isn't anywhere else like Matrix).
Then I started using Mastodon more, and to my surprise I got my first follower in the form of Patrick Volkerding, the creator of Slackware, my all-time favorite Linux distro. Pretty poggers if you ask me.
Mastodon's been doing pretty good for me, and now I'm taking things further by trying to use Friendica more often. Soon enough, I'll also try to get back in the habit of using Lemmy instead of reddit.
If it's federated/foss, I'll think about trying it (except Bluesky, I predict that platform is gonna get real spooky like Twitter in a matter of time).
Overall, look forward to seeing more of me on Friendica, and if you want you can check out my Mastodon at tronnerd82@mastodon.social
@TronNerd82 I mean you'll probably have either have some forewarning or have bigger issues on your mind if that comes about... ie. if I have to emergency bail then you're probably doing the same or about to...
If I do get the opportunity to escape this state or country I'll probably at least have time to give people a heads up that the server is going down.

Downtime
Sorry for the downtime, server crashed and I wasn't able to address it quickly or smoothly in my current mental state.
I took advantage of the downtime, and probably exacerbated it a little, and finally did the migration back to local hardware... so it *should* be more reliable.
What honestly stretched it out a lot is that I also applied the most recent stable Friendica version and that took forever to update the database.
It's with a heavy heart that I'm letting y'all know that I'm disabling open-registrations and *encouraging* all users to find a new home.
I'm not kicking anyone off my server, but unfortunately due to the political situation here in the US the chance for things to go *very bad very quickly* I can not vouch for this server as reliable.
I live in Texas and need to figure out plans to evacuate at this point. I was holding out hope that we'd at least have status quo (as monstrously awful as it is) for longer.
And to make things worse, I'm a trans-woman, they actively want to make my very existence (let alone presence online) illegal and have been building the machinery to make that a very fast process once Trump assumes office.
So I do not recommend this server any longer for those reasons, if you choose to stay I'll continue to run it and support y'all.

in reply to Cory Doctorow • •@Cory Doctorow so two things:
(a) Lead dev is also a huge fan of yours
(b) They suspect there might have been some slight confusion back when you tried, I think they saw evidence of you trying to use the webform to set things up.
github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/…
Gist of setting up the bridge is all you need to do is follow @Bridgy Fed for Bluesky , from there it may take a few hours depending on lag time but your profile on the Bluesky side will be pluralistic.mamot.fr.ap.brid.gy (or profile link: bsky.app/profile/pluralistic.m…)
If you want your username to be craphound.com (or any other domain you own) let me know and I can walk you through how to change it once you're bridged. (Though I'd recommend a subdomain that you can then forward to your profile page because people get confused so easily and it seems like most Bluesky users have no idea they can just search for usernames...)
