RT @kevinmarks@twitter.com: As predicted, Facebook uses their privacy debacles as an excuse to lock out genuine data portability apps. snarfed.org/2018-06-07_turning

Doesn't surprise me at all, but then again, fuck you, Facebook, anyways. I'd actually be fine with that? Friendica for the win?
RT @voss@twitter.com Facebook for Bridgy seizes to exist, thanks for all the goodness. Unfortunately, Facebook tightening up their APIs results in astep back for interoperability. snarfed.org/2018-08-03_rip-fac

RT @voss@twitter.com: Been looking for a good bookmark tool for a while, and came across github.com/shaarli/Shaarli. Excellent little tool. Imported my bookmarks from del.icio.us and raindrop.io without a hitch. One more piece of my puzzle falls into place.

RT @AureliaCotta@twitter.com: On call for 48 hours? Jfc we hold bars liable for serving drunk people, and other employers who have employees on too long get sued by the insurance company or the victims. Hospitals and Admin are begging for terrible PR and big legal bills twitter.com/MLGG2/status/10685

@hasmis I've heard of that. Will have to find it. I need a better client than either the web or the one I use on Windows. I still hate the fact that even in the web interface, links show up as broken up into two lines, unless you use Halcyon, that is.

@LWFlouisa Whether port 80/443 are blocked, hard to tell; Comcast, at least, has this weird thing sometimes where they will keep it opened for a little while, and then block it for three months, then open it again. No one can make up their minds. drives admins like us nuts.

@wakest I watched the presentation from Staltz about that; sounds cool, though still a bit foreign, even to me.

if anyone is in #Brussels and looking for something to do tomorrow (the 1st, my birthday) my friend Zenna is doing a talk about Scuttlebutt

@twdockery My one server, right now he's running Hyper-V with one dinky little domain controller (active directory) on him, but he will be a file server and actually use the space he has once I figure out the situation with my second unit (either a Dell powerEdge R420, or my friend's existing supermicro). The second unit will have a bunch of random stuff; domain controller/DNS server, DHCP server, and then other odds and ends; mostly dev stuff for the development side of mine and my friend's org. If you need to DMZ some XP systems, then you ought to get a switch like I have and create a VLAN with the router in the middle to ensure that both networks can communicate with each other.

@maxeddy I'm still a Steemian for the long hall. Steem and Lumen, that's pretty much it.

@LWFlouisa port redirect is when you forward out a nonstandard port, but somehow a third-party service does something to redirect it to 80, but the public hasn't the dangdest that you're using a nonstandard port. If you want to use something other than 80 for HTTP but want the search engines to find you, then you cannot use a nonstandard port without redirection.

@LWFlouisa You could also opt for a port redirect, which is often cheaper than hosting.

@LWFlouisa debateable. I say that because most ISPs flip-flop regarding what they will allow. My friend wants to open port 80, but is afraid it will be blocked on any day.

@LWFlouisa Server issues are fun to fix when they're your issues. Makes you think hard. It's when you have others breathing down your neck to fix it and fix it now that gets to me.
