Lots of new people out there... #welcome

Here are my #introductions

I'm a nerd from #YYC (Calgary, Canada) into #FOSS software, #Linux and a bit of #BSD among other things. I host my own email and web including the mastodon instance https://coales.co as a hobby.

I work on #python stuff like #flask, #django and #tryton personally, and professionally in the field of #automation #SCADA .

Also big advocate of #openhardware.

I'm kind of libertarian but closer to Chomsky than Rand.

Activity from gitmo.life (follow requests, public posts) leaked onto this instance in recent days and upon investigation the entire domain has been blocked.

Not only was every user and post I saw from there quite vile, the post volumes and followed:follower ratios etc. suggested that there may be some bot activity involved in amplifying their repugnant content.

first @djsundog reminds us Trogdor is now old enough to vote and then @atrus shares that on this day 20 YEARS AGO all your base are belong to us

oh my zig! time move fast for great injustice!

@msh

There is also another auth plugin that is just oauth2 not Masto specific (which the one I picked was forked from)...I'll have to dig into it to see why the fork was done.

Anyways as time permits I will have to contribute a howto, or maybe code improvements or my own fork (though IMO JavaScript is Not Fun so I dunno).

I figured it out! Now users of my instance can also get a free peertube profile at video.coales.co just by clicking the "sign in with coales.co Mastodon Instance" button instead of a separate username and password! That means I'm also at @msh now and my other users can set up too!

Gotta say though the "peertube-plugin-auth-oauth2-mastodon" has pretty useless documentation and has some jankiness to it--it forces the email address to be your Masto "handle @ instance" which seems wrong...

I just set up my own #PeerTube server at https://video.coales.co and it looks stable! Haven't opened registrations up (yet) but will probably be welcoming users befor too long. In the meantime I am following a couple of instances like #VidCommons so I can help replicate their libraries.

I would like to use the #OAuth2 service provided by my #Mastodon instance for authentication. I see OAuth plugins but the documentation is pretty sparse and I haven't figured it out. Anyone else got it yet?

Apparently the defense's strategy is to show hundreds of sub-one-second clips of Democrats saying the word "fight" and I'm like glad that they only plan to argue for 3-4 hours if that is the best they can do

Unbelievable

I've been tasked with updating my employer's WordPress based site OMFG so much bloat so many plugins editing this site is like using IE6 with a dozen toolbars and BHOs why is WP so popular someone please rescue me from this purgatory

Grounding day seems a bit pointless on the Canadian prairies because...

* rodent doesn't see shadow: woohoo early spring!

* rodent sees shadow runs back in hole: woohoo only six more weeks of winter!

In my work inbox today. Does Google do any sort of proofreading or QC at all?

All the mistakes, plus the fact it was sent to me directly and not our IT inbox, makes me think it is phishing, but the headers indicate it actually came from Google, and my employer (unfortunately) uses gmail as its email provider and it's pretty aggressive at blocking Google phishing stuff.

#WTF
