Yeah TBH I like yaml. Sure its not the best ever, but its not the worst it could possibly be.

For config its not terrible. For ansible playbooks its again... not terrible.

Why is everyone always hating on something which is just kinda mid.

I have lassi-{1,2} as rpi 3b+ but they arent in use at the moment because I dont need them yet. Ive got pytia as my spine, and yoghurt as my edge, leaf is l2 so no hostname.

    Right. I guess I just loathe the relentless commodification of our social interactions and one of the things I like about mastodon isthath the "always be promoting your personal brand" thing is notably absent. It reminds me of early social media, before people became brainrotted chasing the influencer lifestyle. I guess I just don't think you can have an algorithm for that kind of thing because then the connections aren't real.

    My point was that creators should want to disconnect from these artificial engagement driven systems that make people care about their "brand" and all that corpo bullshit.

    I don't think mastodon has to do anything to draw creators to it, it is what it is and many people like it that way. I don't like the fake, engagement driven, clout goblin mentality that infests instagram and if mastodon started doing things to cultivate that vibe I would consider it a bug not a feature.

    I'm sorry but that's because you are treating Mastodon like an advertising platform, not a social network.

    engagement is slim to none compared to say, Instagram

    This is because Instagram is an ad platform with social features.

    Thanks, some of it is legal content that has just been sitting locked away on a hard drive for years while I work out what to do with it.

    A friend who does archival stuff for govt keeps giving me stuff all like "hey check out this weird thing!" with some ancient film or something. It would be nice to share that, I'll have a look at posting those to the IA.

    My threat model doesn't need to include people hacking my locks. The average junkie breaking into my house to steal shit isnt doing it with the blessing of some hacking group. There are no cat-burgulars coming for my collection of antique dildos. I can definitely understand not e-locks for a museum or a bank, but they use integrated security systems that are far out of reach of home users. Another point is that the tumblers in most home door locks are trivial to pick, more trivial than hacking an e-lock.

    When I installed digital locks my partner was paranoid about them until I reminded her that we live in a house with a lot of windows. If someone is going to the lengths to crack my lock rather than smashing my windows, we have other problems.
