xenia, the fediverse eepy kitty :tranarchy_punk_nonbinary_wartime:

@kaia@pleroma.soykaf.com brave is shit

@danirabbit@mastodon.online i had to drop out from my computer engineering degree a few years ago. since then i have got into hosting online services, just for fun. as for if i'm good at it, the people who rely on these services can tell.

@hydroxyl@freeradical.zone the thing is that i sometimes enjoy that show, more or less a guilty pleasure of mine. but yeah, it's better to keep boycotting. in fact, when the israeli song played, i turned my head away from the tv and muted the sound (i think i changed channel too iirc). as for the participants, i think the countries who are absent deserve our respect, as well as those who spoke out, even in retrospect. like the person who won the contest a couple years ago and returned their prize as a protest.

@hydroxyl@freeradical.zone yeah, i won't do that. and it sucks because i broke it after two years. -_-

@dgar true. especially the second :ablobcatnod:

@lucke@woof.tech at least pipewire allows me to run jack without the pain of setting it up

@reiddragon@fedi.catto.garden perhaps

@reiddragon@fedi.catto.garden @cmconseils@mastodon.social :neocat_owo:

@_elena@mastodon.social it's not just age verification. it's a total war on privacy and most people don't give a fuck at all. for example, in greece, there was a massive wiretapping scandal caused by the government (the prime minister himself has been managing the state's intelligence agency) who was using spyware to spy on journalists, politicians and potentially thousands of citizens for "national security" reasons. except from very few people who spoke out from the very beginning when people started finding out that they were under surveillance, nobody gave a fuck until the leader of an opposition party and other politicians in the government were found out to be under surveillance as well. a few years have passed i doubt anyone still gives a fuck, except from the people who were against it from the very beginning. and the same government is still running the damn country, without any serious repercussions. i don't think shouting on deaf ears would be a constructive use of my time. also, if you think the european union is democratic, i laugh hard at this, because the european parliament is merely a democratic veneer.

@reiddragon@fedi.catto.garden i think akkoma is perma-broken >,<

@charlie2alpha@fedi.charlie2alpha.org well, the instance i run is small-ish too, and we don't care about content. we care about interacting with cool critters (and people, occasionally). i know cloudflare provides a few neat features, but i think most of them can be set up without dealing with a mitm service.

@stux@mstdn.social i hate ai because i don't use it, it raised my bills and didn't give shit back. only headaches and unaffordable hardware when i need it. ai shitheads deserve the absolute worst

if you ask me to install [malware chatting application] on my device, i'll tell you i would gladly put a dozen cucumbers in my ass at once while talking this moment than installing that shitty application.

good morning fedi

@cwebber@social.coop that's why we should consider supporting projects like OpenNIC and building decentralized, grassroots infrastructure

@ashy@equestria.social there are a bunch iirc, but i don't remember their names

@lucke@woof.tech pipewire is generally better than pulseaudio. but i really hate dealing with wireplumber, definitely one of the shittiest pieces of software i have dealt with recently

@GroupNebula563@mastodon.social @puppygirlhornypost2@transfem.social SEEEEEEEEEEEEEX

@raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest @kaia@pleroma.soykaf.com what's the deal with gyarus these days?

@charlie2alpha@fedi.charlie2alpha.org if i had the option to leave, i would NEVER return to greece. not even for holidays. it's not a safe place at all, unless you're a western cis male, and even that is questionable.

@charlie2alpha@fedi.charlie2alpha.org good morning i never understood why admins care that much about relays, i have set none and the instance runs fine. also cloudflare sucks. uwu.

@lucke@woof.tech sndio is lovely

@stux@mstdn.social verify you are a cat 🐱

@sodiboo@gaysex.cloud @zeank@mastodon.social i don't know how bad you have it there, but in the butthole of the eu, we pay our ass off when we want to transfer money, because the banks are fucking thieves. fuck banks and fuck the eu commission. they should eat shit and die

morning fedi

morning fedi

server uptime, admin downtime

@fadedoasis be crime, do gay

good morning fedi

@charlie2alpha@fedi.charlie2alpha.org is there anything in greece that doesn't suck?

@mametsuko@mk.absturztau.be my favorite hashtag :neocat_evil_3c:

@charlie2alpha@fedi.charlie2alpha.org i don't have much to leave behind. some family and friends and... that's it. and those who care will know where to find me (even though it's tough for most people to reach me out directly)

@stux@mstdn.social i'll be more expensive, and every time i have to reject an ai agent, i'll charge them 25€. everyone who is using agents should pay our hosting costs. we also need to pay for groceries as well.

@gandalf δεν υπάρχει πλήρης ανωνυμία στο internet. όταν αγοράζεις ένα domain, αναγκαστικά δίνεις τα στοιχεία σου. από 'κει και πέρα, δε θέλω ο κάθε μαλάκας να παίρνει τα στοιχεία μου. όπως δε θέλω εγώ να έχω τα στοιχεία των χρηστών μου (μόνο email ζητάω και ένα public key για το ssh).

@hydroxyl@freeradical.zone yeah

@charlie2alpha@fedi.charlie2alpha.org if i wanted to enjoy content, there's lots of it shared through the fediverse. pictures, silly videos, posts on the web, gemini or even gopher etc. as for cloudflare, i have a negative opinion about them, because of some shitty things they have done over time. i prefer to avoid them when i have the option for it. but i get it when it comes to hosting from home. ISPs are *ass*

@reiddragon@fedi.catto.garden fedi is THE dating platform for transfems

@sodiboo for some reason i had this in mind

@charlie2alpha@fedi.charlie2alpha.org because "muh data sovereignty" or some other equally bullshit reason @elena@aseachange.com

@danielgibert@mastodon.online nice icon. although i think it would be better that the "not allowed" sign being on top of the pervert glasses would make it look better.

@kde@floss.social o hell naw, not these numbers :neocat_googly_shocked:

@sodiboo@gaysex.cloud we need more decentralized dns infrastructure. and to abolish icann. fuck icann. :neocat_middlefinger_double:

@i0null@infosec.exchange jokes on you, i'm on openbsd :blobcatblep:

@Floppa@fedi.catto.garden φλόππα! :neocat_hug:

@lucke@woof.tech pulseaudio was worse, especially when you wanted to deal with more advanced stuff

@supertux@floss.social :neocat_floof_kisser:

@hydroxyl@freeradical.zone i hate myself for breaking my boycott this year :neocat_floof_sad:

@ari@masto.doskel.net i have messed with 9front in a vm when i was in a computer lab once. people were looking at it like it's a system made by aliens lmao

hewwo fedi

@iscdotorg@fosstodon.org it's always DNS :akko_unamused:
