Started another little Rust project with rustup update and cargo new .... I just love Rust's tooling.

@underlap +1 for Axum. I have a blog post about getting started with it:

Started looking at hyper, warp, and axum, but loading a file at server startup and sharing that across handlers is a common source of friction. I may have to resort to lazy static, but https://docs.rs/axum/latest/axum/#sharing-state-with-handlers might be a cleaner solution.

Every time I dip into Threads it's a complete and utter waste of time. They'd better up their game before they finish implementing federation. 😂

An interesting question on Quora:

"Should software testing be an incremental, staged activity? Also people argue that developers should not be involved in testing their own code but that all testing should be the responsibility of a separate team. why is that?"

Here's a (long) corker of an answer by a close friend of mine: https://qr.ae/pseyG6

Since replacing my graphics card in March, my arch system crashes on resume 20% of the time. I don't see any obvious cause in the logs, so I finally cracked and posted a discussion thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=296050

@underlap This is with the old "radeon" driver, right? If so, this unfortunately just happens sometimes. The driver is in maintenance mode (except for the occasional compile fix) and - according to AMD - has "unfixable" design problems. :(

The amdgpu driver for my Zen2 Thinkpad is flawless and reliable.

The old fanless card in my workstation also finally died for good, so I'm in the same boat. Unfortunately there are no up-to-date lowend cards for amdgpu. :(

@asynchronaut Thanks Holger - that's really useful information!

Wrote a summary of web linking (AKA link relations; think rel="xxx" in a <a/> or <link/> HTML element).

The piece of the puzzle that's still unclear to me is whether WebFinger has been superseded, or maybe just generally ignored. There doesn't seem to be much adoption (except by Mastodon) or follow-on activity AFAICT.

Setting up wife's new mac mini. Migration assistant hung when copying from old (2009) iMac or time machine, so I decided to simply set up the OS and migrate the data afterwards. It now needs to download and reinstall macOS. No idea how it got itself into such a state...

Just watched an inspiring presentation on IndieWeb from 2019: Take Back Your Web by Tantek Çelik @tantek.com

@underlap @tantek.com@tantek.com Nice! What was your key takeaway? (Or was it more of a "general inspiration" kind of situation?)

@henrikjernevad @tantek.com@tantek.com One interesting point was the use of microformats to enable likes and comments. That was new to me, although I've noticed the term microformats in passing.

I wonder if there's a lightweight blog implementation -- like what I currently use, WriteFreely -- that supports microformats? I miss the comment feature on blogspot.

It would be good to see webmentions flourishing too.

Unless I've missed something, there seems to be a slight disconnect between the HTML 4.01 spec and IANA.

For example, HTML 4.01 defines the "chapter" link relation, "chapter" is present in the IANA link relation registry (and refers to HTML 4.01 for the definition), but the HTML 4.01 spec doesn't have an "IANA Considerations" section.

HTML 4.01 even talks about HTML authors defining additional link types (without mentioning IANA).

@mnot: would you care to comment?

After my recent spate of unfollowing, my home timeline has nearly stalled. This is probably a good thing...

@underlap@fosstodon.org avatar

@danielsiepmann @Anachron I wonder if there's an easy way to obtain an account's average posting frequency? I would take a punt on an infrequent poster but probably avoid the more prolific.

danielsiepmann,

@Anachron @underlap I'm using friendi.ca/ and it should be possible to write an plugin for that. Provide a time range and count the posts within the database.

I'm absolutely not into mastodon and therefore can't provide any hint for that or any other software.

But I'm fine with just reading my timeline. It is not only about the amount, but also topics.

People shift their topics from time to time. I'll then remove them from my timeline if it doesn't match anymore.

No, it's not Signal or WhatsApp. It's EncroChat whose encryption has apparently been cracked by French police. Not sure whether this is an impressive technical feat or an example of sloppy encryption algorithms. I suspect the latter since this is in the news.
