My reason for having #Facebook is to buy/sell on Marketplace. There isn’t anything else to do of value IMHO. I’m annoyed Facebook has been able to displace #Craigslist. But I’m guessing it’s partially because Craigslist didn’t police businesses that ruined search with keyword and hashtag stuffing. 🤷🏼‍♂️ https://indieweb.social/@laurenshof/115735171390058308

Updated the most 💩 app on my phone: #YouTube. They somehow broke search so you cannot search. It’s not possible to select the search box to type anything. Unbelievable.

It’s like a peek at late-stage capitalism in a parody.

Tried to get #Litestream working again with #gotosocial but I keep running into 403 errors using #DigitalOcean Spaces for S3. the error is "api error SignatureDoesNotMatch: The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your key and signing method".

This kept repeating until the .sqlite.db-litestream directory filled my disk (about 10x the size of actual DB). Still need to do sqlite backups the old fashioned way: make compressed copy and upload with s3cmd.

Unlocked 500-day streak achievement on #Reddit. I’m 1 out of 1.18 million users that have done this it seems… 😂

This is probably more of a personal failure over an achievement!

Thinking about that time when I had such a great username of “bryan”at my credit union.

When more than 3 attempted logins failed, my account would get locked. They had me change my username to something resembling a password to stop accidental attempts.

I really hate how stupid security is at credit unions and banks. Terrible. 😤

Oddly enough, this still isn't enough internet for the day. But I'm going to stop reading the #news...

Had my first Tan Tan Noodle where the broth was sweet. Very much not good. Why?! 😢

Edge of Tomorrow sequel is currently scrapped. Maybe in 3-4 years? Cruise needs to keep his aging on ice…

Setup daily backups of my #SQLite for my #gotosocial server. Backups go to S3 at the moment but I’ll add just archiving to a local path or maybe scp to a host? I dunno. Don’t need to make things too complicated.

I put the script on #Codeberg for others to use if they want.

TODO: add cleaning up old backups.

FWIW I actually clicked the link for this ad on #Instagram and got a 504 gateway error.

Have not read either of these books in over 25 years. Maybe I should refresh my memory with a reread. #Iliad #Odyssey

I really hope #gotosocial gets hashtag blocking/muting soon. I could really clean up my timeline and follow more stuff I care about…

Ads in #WhatsApp might finally get people to move to #Signal?

Or are people too numb to take action against ads…?

ohmyz.sh (Oh my zsh) has an update of `omz shop` that opens a browser to shop for merchandise (it is nice projects are finding ways to get reimbursed for work imho). Another tidbit shared from @sdolan is the PR was done by #copilot on GitHub: https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/issues/13427 #zsh #linux

Just scarfed down a #Costco hotdog. Washed it down with Zero Sugar Coke. Glad the plague of Pepsi is over.

Looking forward to future ram glut from overproduction. We’ll all be able to have 1-2TB of ram on our desktops. Maybe even ECC will be in style again. 😎

I remember when John Giannandrea was hired at Apple. Internally, we were all hoping this would fix the giant mess that was Siri. So, 7 years later, he retires, accomplishing basically nothing. Siri is still trashy and perhaps even worse. Good riddance and I’d preferred him getting fired like Scott Forstall.
