"Bogus claims." "Debunked claims." White-gloved #BrokenTimes euphemisms for blood libel. Can someone in that newsroom please subscribe to @jbouie's TikTok to learn history?

I guess this means that we're free to insist that the couch story is the gospel truth. After all, we're merely illustrating the problem by drawing attention to the possibility.....

I wrote a small, easy to use #golang lib for signing HTTP requests so that #Mastodon would accept them and also to verify requests originating from Mastodon and other #ActivityPub servers, useful if you're implementing your own.

Check it out at github.com/MatejLach/httpsigve…

@robey One diff I see is code.lag.net/robey/squidcity/s… vs github.com/MatejLach/httpsigve…

I've got the 12 hours off of docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/sec… to be Mastodon compatible to start with, but am going to make it configurable in the next release as 12hrs seems quite a long time.

in reply to Matej Δ½ach βœ…

i'm pretty sure i made up the 1 hour number, so 12 is just as valid...

my thinking was: when sending, we'll retry for up to a few days, to handle servers that have fallen offline for a day or two. so, we're going to have to sign every post *as we send it* -- it can't be queued pre-signed.

so the signature time is really a measure of clock skew between two servers. and at some point it's not clock skew, it's some kind of hanky-panky.

Don’t suppose anyone on my feed has a good replacement service recommendation for Proton for email? Specifically one that has an offering for using custom domains? Been a Proton user for years and finally upgraded to paid so I could use my own domain, and then they go all in on LLMs. Sigh.

Thanks for recommending us; any questions @UncivilizedDan we're here to help. If you choose Tuta Mail, you can use as many aliases with your domain as you like - for only 3 bucks/month. Now, ask away! :)



Vance said this in response to Laura Loomer’s post saying the White House would smell of curry is Harris is elected: β€œAnd whether you’re eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to her (Kamala) policies.” byteseu.com/421560/ #PoliticalHumor #PoliticalHumor #Politics #USPolitics

We knew this was coming. And there will be so-called moderate Ds who will join them.


If Putin were to die today of natural causes, would Russia’s leaders and the Russian people still want to continue the war in Ukraine? byteseu.com/421558/ #Ukraine #UkrainianConflict #UkrainianConflict


It's not abut policy or what's right or wrong. It's about controlling the narrative, which means coming up with a whopper anytime there is something negative in the news about them.

Trump has done this for decades and excels at it. Vance is the acolyte.

I love my @nitrokey but sadly the keyring slot turned out to be a bit fragile.
