So, fellow #email #selfhosting peeps.

What do we do about #Outlook? It used to be the case that we could follow a somewhat reasonable process to be unblocked by their bullshit policies.
(see: https://chaos.social/@evilham/109179040439027408 )

But nowadays that is not possible, and all we have is this stupid HTTP 500 with no real way of contacting them: https://substrate.office.com/ip-domain-management-snds/postmaster/troubleshooting#errors

I kinda want to send an email to a @hotmail.com human, whose only means of contact I have is email :-D.

Vinga, any nou, hobby nou:

Anem a documentar informalment la cessió de dades(*) forçada(**) per part les institucions públiques, durant la meva existència com a persona ciutadana a Barcelona.

(*): em concentraré en cessions de dades al règim autoritari dels Estats Units d'Amèrica, mitjançant les multinacionals que sotmeten les nostres institucions
(**): per "forçada" entendré: peticions automàtiques a servidors d'aquestes multinacionals, amb èmfasi en funcionalitats trencades quan aquestes peticions estan bloquejades

I had been maintaining a more privacy-friendly fork of an Android app, and released it on Google's Play Store.

It used to be mostly fine to deal with their paperwork and bureaucracy, nowadays it's ridiculous.

https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/13392821

They want app maintainers to upload a frigging video of each feature; this is SO MUCH added work for basically no gain. I could show just one place where these services are used in an OK fashion and not others where they could be shady.

Anyway, giving up on Google's crap and setting up a private #fdroid repository; that's significantly easier.

 A picture showing some foreground services and Google requiring filling a form for each service, with a video showing the functionality.

Gosh, I love how #FreeBSD makes some things so simple. Just deployed an #IPv6-only server, running a virtualised https://komo.do, for the various Linux-centric services that I might need.
Networking wasn't black magic but pretty straightforward, storage is safely backed by ZFS sparse zvols, and firewall is tight and simple with pf.

🥳 daily driver upgraded to #FreeBSD 15.0 with #pkgbase (was using it already since 13.X)

Besides the minor adjustments regarding changes to the names of #pkg repositories, which were announced on the mailing lists, everything went just as expected.

The fact that we now have a repository with kmod ports that match base is :yayblob:

Here is a tired ham asking for help from the #selfhosting #gemini fediverse.

I deployed gemserv to serve gemini://evilham.com "ages" ago, and for world political reasons I am step by step moving away from .com to .eu, which means I recently deployed gemini://evilham.eu.

So, the question:

How can I easily setup gemserv to redirect from evilham.com to evilham.eu, on all paths while not losing the paths?

I think the odds are thin, here is what the code says (the config is a HashMap<String, String>):
https://git.sr.ht/~int80h/gemserv/tree/827a9c148193b9726fbd9ffa4c1a02661b12ff7a/item/src/con_handler.rs#L169

One final annoyance with my @gotosocial migration!

I implemented a split-domain setup, as wonderfully documented by @gotosocial here: docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/
Note that #Mastodon also supports it, and documents it similarly here: docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/co

In both Mastodon and #GoToSocial, I notice that web clients FAIL to login with the account domain.

From what I see on the web server, the account domain receives exactly ONE request:
"POST /api/v1/apps HTTP/2.0" 404 146 "-" "Tusky/31.1 Android/15 OkHttp/5.1.0"
(This is Tusky, but Mastodon's app and others behave the same)

I tried to 301 / 307 redirect that endpoint (against @gotosocial's recommendation), but that fails in the same way (except I see the different matching code on the web server).

As a side effect, apps show my username as: at evilham at fedi.unchat.cat, instead of @evilham, which is what I actually wanted.

What to do? >,<

I have noticed that I do not use the fediverse as much as I otherwise would, because of storage usage and because I have the feeling that certain things would not be entirely welcome on the server.

Which is fine, I think it's a misinterpretation of the server rules, regarding politics on the timeline (could be unlisted, yep, but, still), but the fact that I feel like I have to think about that, means I filter some things out, and end up just skipping the whole fedi thing :-/

Havia tornat a jugar Vampire: The masquerade - Redemption, sense saber que sortiria alguna cosa nova de la saga.
Senzillament perquè recordo haver-lo jugat fa molts anys, i recordo que no el vaig poder acabar (entre altres perquè no tenia la paciència per aquest tipus de jocs), però sí em va marcar força la estètica i temàtica del joc 😸

Total, que si me'n recordo aniré comentant el joc per aquí amb l'etiqueta #vampir, perquè es pugui silenciar.

TODAY is the last day to promote the ECI banning conversion practises in the EU.
It takes less than 5 minutes, and you can do it online here: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/#/screen/home

The threshold has been achieved in 7 countries, but there are still many signatures left for the 1M signatures across the EU.

If unfamiliar: roughly this would result in either legislation or the European Commission defending conversion practises.

Call for suggestions: need a reasonable #caldav library in a typed and statically-compiled language that is able to parse events from strings / files with a reasonable API.

Context: I've been using tracklr[1] for some time, particularly I got used to using my calendar as the source of truth for time spent on things.
That calendar is locally synchronised with vdirsyncer and I perform queries with tracklr.

Dimecres de trucar a l'ajuntament de #barcelona per intentar solucionar una qüestió completament absurda que únicament existeix per xenofòbia institucional.

I que aquesta xenofòbia institucional es reafirmi quan, en veure que el número de identificació "no és nacional", et parlen intermitentment en castellà, en contra de la tria en el menú automatitzat que ja ho demana a l'inici, i en contra de la llengua parlada durant la interacció (català).

Visca!

In despair with no further clues, fast forward 3 hours removing on the pipeline any non-targeted satellite assemblies from both deployment and manifest and turns out that...

Yes, dear reader, that was it.

TL;DR: do not include Chinese localisations, even for dependencies on VSTO.
