Spoken like someone who didn’t work with the xmpp protocol

I love mine. Get a cheap analogue one that works with a magnet. Perfect rice every time

That’s how you get coke

any luck with gpio and 5W power usage so far?

dailymail?

really?

Fuck you :)

And go in blind

Watch the first one of two episodes. Like the humor? Continue watching

It’s one of the funniest and philosophical shows in existence

I hope KF2 will finally solve the legal limbo it’s currently stuck in

The leaked “trailer” looks fun as hell

“thank fuck that asshole is dead”

they just pile up on the sidewalks. Which is why you can’t just walk everywhere. It’s all just completely covered in piles of corpses

Time to visit my far away friends and start a collecting of their ashes

Server hosting

This is a work in progress
Slrpnk.net is hosted by F-hub.org, a volunteer driven and non-commercial effort to host federated community services in a resource efficient and ethical way. F-hub.org grew out of a community of open-source game developers (freegamedev.net) that has existed since the early 2000s.

All the servers are operated and maintained (as a hobby) by one of the founding members and are currently located on the Azores in Portugal. Connectivity is provided through a dedicated high-speed fibreglass connection.
Hardware

The F-hub.org servers are based on second-hand consumer PC and data-centre hardware, but optimized for low energy consumption. Battery backup power is provided and data is stored with triple redundancy (off-site backups are still a work in progress). Electricity is currently provided by the utility grid (about 60% green-energy, mostly from a geothermal power-plant) but it is a work in progress to upgrade to a on-site solar PV system for near 100% renewable power.

Slrpnk.net itself currently runs on a dedicated 6th gen Intel CPU server with 8 threads, 16GB RAM and SATA SSD storage in raid configuration. Image uploads are stored on a large HDD raid array. All data is snapshotted and transferred for backup to a second shared server on daily basis.
External services

Given how difficult it is to have outgoing email accepted by the large email providers, all emails are currently routed through an external SMTP server hosted by OVH in France (same as the domain registration and DNS routing).

There are backup plans to move the servers to a co-location data-center owned by Altice, should this be required for scaling. However, monthly rent of rack-space is quite costly (starts at around 300€/month), thus this will require a substantial regular donation base to be possible.

You sound like such a typical Leo

ah, makes sense. didn’t know that mbin hides the instance. Maybe as an additional link after the current one?

In any case: thanks for the work so far! Great service

for the links to a discussion, yes. But for a link to the community which has been decided, it’s probably more user friendly to just do the exclamation mark style instead of a normal link

Any chance of using the !-format for the links in the list? makes it easier to just visit and subscribe

The trick is to hold the third with your teeth

Is there any technical reason that it has to send your notification data to Google and Apple or is it just to get more data on you?

the API that for example Google Firebases provides (most used, as it supports ios and android), is basically “send a notification with following content to this device”.

Which is very simple to implement. as it’s just fire and forget. But you send the actual data to Google in this case.

There are way to do it differently, for example how signal does it: They send a silent (e.g. invisible) notification to the device, which has no data in it.

That notifiation tells the app to check for new messages.

The app will then fetch messages in the encrypted way as it always does, and displays a notification if needed. No need to send actual data through the notification service (other than the metadata, that notifications should be pulled)

This is the name of it:

man, I’m going to steal that analogy. it’s perfect
