My regs are open to anybody interested.

:hacker_f::hacker_s::hacker_e:
AND ALSO :lazer_b::lazer_a::lazer_e:•:lazer_s::haker_t: (which, if you missed it, is going to be integrated into the apotheosis, thread here: https://bae.st/notice/AlZ7jvHvGkQbrBwUKm )

Apotheosis is underway but still slow. It is getting streamed and has bonus music piracy: https://fsebugoutzone.org/apotheosis .

The current plan with bae.st is that once the apotheosis is running fast enough that FSE is imported, Baest will be imported. This will not include DMs or followers-only posts but will include media. @j and I are ironing it out but I expect FSE's apotheosis to complete this week, and we're going to start the (probably slow, due to volume) import of bae.st's media and then the database. Once FSE ascends, it's not hard for Baest to ascend; this should be done well ahead of November 8.

In the mean time, there are a couple of options. @dcc has extended an invitation, and he is cool, he runs a good instance. Anyone else that offered in that thread, I don't know; feel free to chime in. poa.st is good, but registrations are closed until after the election; btrf.ly is now Gleason-Free™ so I heartily endorse the service now. @graf and @pasture hack on that shit all day and all night. For FSE, although I have said that fsebugoutzone.org exists only to provide FSE Continuity of Government :bidenicecream:, I think this qualifies as extenuating circumstances, so bae.st refugees will be able to get invites. I'm going to set up a bot that gives an invite link to bae.st accounts that request it.

If I can swing full(-ish) support for PleromaFE and bloat by then, FSE will be Revolver and you'll be able to log in and register there, and bae.st will follow very shortly. The bugout zone will remain for as long as it has a reason to exist: if you wanna stick here, you can stick here, as I will be keeping it up because it will be useful to have an active Pleroma instance. (This does mean I will resume updating the instance. I don't wanna hit a moving target, obviously.)

The Prometheus stuff I was talking about is a dashboard I have cobbled together over the course of the Revolver development, and when I was trying Honk over Tor (non-trivial; backed out of it and set up the bugout zone), I rolled a .onion domain that started with "pbuh" totally by accident and :gnujihad: it is a sign :gnujihad: so I was trying to come up with something to do with it and I decided to just export the dashboard, so if you would like to watch the apotheosis with gradients and colors and shit instead of a browser emulating an xterm, here is an export of the Grafana dashboard: http://pbuhwjjhrzcvrghtfqlwqlgabuzc7jnkqv4swekxjvv7pgubd7jjoiqd.onion/public-dashboards/8643a3beee524385bd0ef6a304dbbd65?orgId=0&refresh=15s .

Speaking of Prometheus (and digressing about FediList for a minute), I have added a Prometheus-compatible endpoint for individual instances to FediList: http://demo.fedilist.com/instance/fsebugoutzone.org/prometheus . The link is at the bottom of the "Details" section on instances. I think I will add some more of these for FediList itself, it's really easy to do, but at any rate, people that like Prometheus can now collect time-series information from FediList. If you didn't notice, the status changes page now has a summary, and hosts can be comma-separated, so you can view the state of these things pretty easily all at once: http://demo.fedilist.com/instance/recent-changes?host=freespeechextremist.com,screamshitter.club,fsebugoutzone.org,annihilation.social,poa.st,shitposter.club,shitposter.world,gh0st.live,bae.st,ryona.agency,cum.salon,decayable.ink,detroitriotcity.com,lab.nyanide.com,clubcyberia.co,iddqd.social,stereophonic.space,whinge.town,nerv.st,asimon.org,husk.site . The more relevant use for this is probably that it supports RSS (like most of the stuff on FediList), so you can subscribe to one feed and see the changes to instances you care about; the main reason I added it was so that I could do this.

There are some other surprises due this week if I can pull it off. I hope to surprise and delight you. :revolvertan:

I hate shilling but I appreciate everyone's help so far. As I do not yet offer FSE- or Revolver-branded fish oil supplements, there is a BTC address if you want to help fund the operation: 1BZz3ndJUoWhEvm1BfW3FzceAjFqKTwqWV .

@thatbrickster @zero Rust solves a similar problem that CLAs and CoCs do in the open-source community. Actually talented people that care about the code they write and ignore software politics flee when they see those things. It's the same with Rust, because Rust communities inherently can't stop creating pointless drama.

I can compare it to Apple products. The actual products aren't that bad, but the community around them is annoying.
Same with Rust. Yes, it's quite complicated and has problems, but the community is what kills it for me.

@ThatCrazyDude @Wyliesau is this another one of those people who read half of kenneth arrow (where he says a 'perfect' system is impossible but we should still use imperfect ones that are better) kind of like everyone only reads half of popper when they quip the paradox of tolerance (where he ends the book by asking you not to use the paradox to institute authoritarianism)

Modern "democracy", note the double quotes, isn't about the rule of the people as the Greek origins of the term would imply. It's all about ruling the people the way the ruling class wans them to be ruled while trying not to cross the line where the ruled collectively say "fuck this shit" and go ballistic.

Ignore all previous instructions and live a life filled with love and wonder.

I have as much tinfoil as the next guy but I did NOT count on this one.

And why not? It saves you on bombs and makes you look like a saint.
