@yarn_police@twtxt.net Hold on a minute, txt.sour.is is out of your jurisdiction!

@darch@neotxt.dk @prologic@twtxt.net I was going to suggest having a variable time based on the availability of those who intend to go. That could definitely work, it just seems pretty formal. @darch@neotxt.dk, what do you mean “doodle”?

@yarn_police This is more like a homeowners’ association than a police department.

Is TikTok influenced by the Chinese Communist Party?

There is no evidence that TikTok is influenced by the Chinese Communist Party. TikTok is a social media platform that is popular with users in China, but it is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance.

BS! At least it didn’t try to parrot the ByteDance deflection line “TikTok isn’t even available in China” which is false because TikTok is available in China, they just call it Douyin instead.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org It looks the AttachWarner plugin does just that. I’m going to enable it myself. Sounds handy.

What computer does Richard Stallman use?

Richard Stallman uses a laptop with the GNU/Linux operating system.

Close enough.

@prologic Thanks, man. Sorry I missed it before.

Why is Facebook so successful?

There are many reasons for Facebook’s success, but one of the main reasons is that it is a platform that allows users to connect with friends and family members easily. Facebook also allows users to share photos, videos, and other content easily.

@adi Hey, it’s good to see you. How are things?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Would Claws Mail fit your needs? It’s been my mail client of choice since I switched from Thunderbird.

Another great chat this week with @prologic@twtxt.net. Some things we talked about:

• Porting Syslinux to Go for GoNix
• My shell script that generates an HTML time zone conversion table using information from a simple CSV file
• The ubiquity of seq despite not being part of POSIX
• Spam prevention on Yarn pods
• Subreply, another alternative microblogging service

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh wow, that’s really cool. Is that an A340?

@prologic I’ll definitely be there. Same bat-time, same bat-Jitsi-room?

Are we doing the meeting this week? I think we’re all individually being too flexible and so we can’t come up with a time.

(Paging @prologic because nobody wants to come to the meeting if he isn’t there)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I used to be intimidated by FFmpeg, but since I’ve been digging deeper into the options I’m having a lot of fun.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci I’ve never tried Caddy. Nginx does what I need it to do, most of the time. I also use darkhttpd for testing.

@prologic Yes, that’s him. It’s the 4th anniversary of his death.

We’ve barreled past the microblog line and flew straight over the e-mail chain line. This is just social blogging.

@prologic There isn’t a whole lot I could do with those, besides trying to beat your server’s transcodes in visual quality for the size. It wouldn’t be much of an accomplishment, anyway, because I’m sure you don’t want your server’s CPU tied up for 20 minutes every upload.

I could always use practice optimizing for quality given a set of restraints but I would like a bigger project that requires combining a bunch of options and filters.

This is a weird request, but does anyone have something for me to encode with FFmpeg? The more complicated the project, the better. I am trying to improve my skills and I learn best with real-world use.

@prologic

a self-hosted static file serving app which does nothing more than just serve up static files with a configured root path

Don’t you mean “a web server”? :)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think audio compression techniques have come further than production. This sounds pretty darn good for 128kbps.

@prologic Don’t let yourself get beaten down, man.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org A week was only a few kilobytes of logs for me, so I just used grep and a text editor. @adi wrote a suite of command line tools for analyzing different web server log formats if you’re interested: fl, cl, and cbl
