Ever seen one of these?
I had a classmate that used to bring his to class every night. Just slung his satchel w/the keyboard over his shoulder and carried this in his arms up the elevator and down the hall to class.
It's a Pronto Series 16, running at a blazing fast 8Mhz, and that's a 5.6 MByte removable hard disk there too. Pronto Computers was located in Torrance (my hometown) just down the street from Epson and Ashton Tate (dBase II, III)
Heck I can't even remember the guy's name, but he worked in some local aerospace company and fancied himself an ubergeek; if this box is any indication he sure was, lolz.
So what's so special about this machine? Well, if you ask any 50 people about an IBM compatible computer that ran on an intel 80186 CPU they'll prolly all tell you there was never any such beast - but there was, and this was it (I recall it was fast as fuck, so they prolly pioneered manufacturing production machines that were ahead of their time, while IBM and the clone manufacturers decided to skip a generation and take their time working on a platform that leveraged the 80286.).
The hard disk was light years ahead of its time too - portable Zip Drives (100MBytes) didn't appear on the scene for another ten years, but this was an actual miniature hot swappable Syquest HDD spinning at I believe, the standard of 3600 RPMs.... I can't be sure though, but it was nice listening to that quiet buzz saw sound just singing along.
We were in a Pascal class together, so he would show up, insert a disk, boot to UCSD P-System and off he would go. The rest of us would too, but we had those noisy 5&1/4" floppy disks that made all those cute noises in our IBM 5150 PCs (4.77MHz 8080 CPUs), lolz.... Well, we did have a few XT's w/HDDs, some VT-52 like terminals for the PDP-11, and some 3270 terminals too connected to a mainframe at the main campus in Sandy Eggo.
His #Pronto was a screamer for sure, and I'd only ever seen an amberchrome monitor for mini computers at work, which were much larger. The graphics (Yah, we actually called them graphics at the time) were superior to what we could do w/o an expensive #Princeton_Graphics #CGA card and matching .51mm dot pitch color monitor too.
I had lots of minis, super-minis, and a few mainframes at work, but in the personal computer world there was literally nothing that could perform like this 8MHz 186... nothing. It was a screamer!
But alas, after him spending close to five grand, the IBM 3270 PC/AT was soon to be released, relegating that guys 186 hot rod to the annals of forgotten songs and unsung heroes. The new #AT_Class machines kinda trickled in though, so if you wanted one of those you got to the computer lab early. They also supported HD Floppies w/1.2MB storage - a vast improvement over that of the earlier, so-called Double Density 360KB floppies, although there were some issues moving data between those two formats that required a few tricks - like loading an earlier command.com (kinda like sourcing another shell once you ssh into a box)... Okay I'm rambling.
I kinda liked that guy, and kinda didn't. Most of the other students didn't care for him too much. He was arrogant and one of those, "Mine's better than yours" sort of person, but he was competent, friendly with me, generally speaking, for a guy who was wound real tight, and I could tell he didn't get any pussy, so I kinda felt sorry for him too.
I should mention that there technically were a couple of other manufacturers out there during that era shipping 80186 computers, but I've never seen any of them and don't know anything about them.
Well, that's about it for that era, I just thought that I'd share that little bit of computer history with everyone. I hope you enjoyed reading about this truly innovative machine and it's brief time on the market.

IOW - the reader doesn't have to leave their comfy Fediverse client, experience or venture into unsafe outside networks or sites with trackers and other data mining engines.
A mission statement? As a decades long FOSS and Privacy advocate, it's really not much of a question to me. My immediate answer is, "But, of course." We should strive for a UX that users will adore. Fact: I love Faceplant - I do! I don't use it, and stay in a galaxy far, far away, but I'm not gonna lie and say it's not one of the niftiest UIs in existence. Everything is smooth and just the right amount of opaque and glossy and smooth scrolling through the stream, wall, timeline, *whatev.
If we make it pretty, then that's going to win adopters from the general public. And if we gain people from the general population.... pretty kewl.
- Make it functional
- Make it featureful
- Make it pritty (sic)
The Fediverse isn't a single, particular protocol powered network - OStatus, ActivityPub, Diaspora, Zot6, Nomad, Etc. #DeSoc is a horizontally scaling, logical network topography. It's the foundational concept that disrupts a monolithic architecture. Both are great, but when you're talking about human social intercommunications it sure sounds a heck of a lot more safe when there's one, three, or twenty seven accounts on a single Fediverse instance than twenty seven hundred or thousand user accounts. I'd argue that with that many active user accounts, you're really accommodating the deprecated, monolithic silo model.
I was successful, very recently, in encouraging a popular sharing service to completely drop the mastodon logo and stop using it. The project lead related to me that of note was the fact that all of the folks who had galleries had different #Fediverse addresses, not half of them actually mastodon addresses. All of the mastodon logos have now been replaced with the Fediverse logo. AND - THAT - IS - AWESOME

Well this is a really fucked up #Rug_Pull!
At the time, I searched and searched and could not find any #FOSS solutions to achieve what I figure most everyone who must use #MFA / #2FA needs, namely:
- A Linux desktop version
- An Android version (F-Droid or .APK - not from the Google playstore
- A Windows desktop version
Does anyone have suggestions as to how to achieve this, so that it syncs between all of your devices?
There are plenty (even FOSS versions) out there, but none of them that I know of that sync between all of your devices. If you lose your phone... oh well! But with Twillio you could just install it on a new phone and it would sync over all of your accounts from one of your other devices, laptop, whatev. I know it's proprietary, and that's a bad thing, but like I said, I couldn't find a single FOSS solution that had this very basic functionality of syncing between all of your devices.
Do you know of an authenticator that syncs between all of your devices? Feel free to boost and ask around, people shouldn't have to carry a phone around with them everywhere, let alone use a phone for your multi-factor authentication when your working on your desktop, and using your desktop/laptop to authenticate/signon to your accounts. That's just ridiculous.

82 years ago today, 2,335 American servicemen and women were murdered in a terrorist attack at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
The response completely obliterated the government responsible for that cowardly act, an unconditional surrender of the enemy, heralding in a new age of peace, friendship, and trust between the adversaries who came to embrace their mutual interests, rather than their differences.
Today's children have a lot to learn from that as they idolize terrorists.

* We didn't really have a #Fediverse back then, although we did have a few platforms that still exist and are the major parts of the Fediverse today, such as #Friendica (had a couple of name changes since then), StatusNet/PumpIO, etc., but none of that is really important.
* This is the first photo of a series - I'm prolly going to try out "collections" and make this part of one. I still have a bad taste left in my mouth from the #gplus days when they launched collections, but I digress.
* The Piggy Opera was her first grade school play, and from an age of innocence that eventually evolves into some awareness on the childs part that I think most parents loathe - we always wish for them to remain the "Itty Bitty Baby" that we carried everywhere on one arm; and this was in the last months of when she was still light enough for me to carry her everywhere.

**That's the exact same story I think most of us have**. The adage used to be, **"Get Redhat certified and know Redhat. Learn Slackware and know Linux."** Most differences are in the package management systems. There may be different directory trees to traverse, and slight differences in the init scripts but that's simple enough if you learn Linux independent of a specific distro. Nowadays I tend to recommend #Mint to #n00bs, #Debian proper to those who will be longtime admins, and #Arch Linux to those who will be #UNIX Gods. #Slackware still holds it's own and is often my go-to. Back then, we had #386BSD (Jolix), #MCC Interim, or #SLS, or later, #NetBSD, but we knew UNIX would take over the world... And then Slackware sprang upon the scene followed shortly thereafter by #Sorcerer Linux and Debian GNU/Linux. #Redhat was pretty much an afterthought and rethink of #Yellowdog.

## Tapir updates... Moving right along!
Tapir is coming along nicely, with continued active development and commits in just the past few days.
I never get this right, #SmallWeb, #SmolWeb, or... Let's just say it's one of the latest in single user, exceedingly simple to deploy #Fediverse servers that you can carry around in your bookbag on your laptop, or conveniently on your desktop workstations.
It's written in Deno, so, think Typescript/JavaScript/Node in a safe by default implementation.
I'm personally looking forward to Adam hopefully showcasing his work and just how simple it is to get up and running during the upcoming #ActivityConf expected to occur at the end of October.
He's got great aspirations for it and here's a bit of what the roadmap has at this time:
* broad fediverse compatibility
* install directly from a URL with one Deno command
run with limited permissions (just --allow-net and a single folder)
* sqlite and postgres backends
* multiple personas (users) with one login and one home timeline (the main account can leverage OAuth)
* personas can have different timeline styles (make it look like Pixelfed)
* build your own federated timeline from multiple servers
* post scheduling
* sophisticated filter rules and a customizable home timeline algorithm
* follow RSS feeds, Nitter feeds, maybe Nostr feeds
* personal full-text search
* a plugin system
Much like what most Fediverse platforms enjoy, like #Friendica, #Mitra, and Takahē, Tapir accounts can be connected to by following, @-mentioning, replying to, and boosting posts or Quote Posting them. There's also a link for feeds.
You too can follow along with the project by following now or asking questions of the developer at @tapir - even in this early stage of development, #Tapir supports most all of the features you've come to take for granted from a solid platform from which to engage in social communications with others in the Fediverse and beyond in much the same way as you already do from your #Pleroma, #Soapbox, and #Calckey accounts - without the hassles or uncertainty of having to depend upon someone else's infrastructure and all the baggage that comes with that.
I'm not aware of a Matrix room or IRC support channel at this moment, but all in good time.
Later I'll do a deeper drill down and publish an article, perhaps even be afforded the opportunity for an interview, and I'll be covering others in depth too, namely, #MicroblogPub and #Bovine - two other very fine and capable SmallWeb, er... SmolWeb, ummm... forget it, **single-user Fediverse servers**. 🤙
I regularly showcase existing and emerging #DeSoc development in #Fediverse-city:matrix.org and circle back around every so often with updates concerning these free and privacy respecting decentralized technologies, everyone is welcome and the best insight into these software projects trends to emanate from others who offer their input and experiences. Maybe we'll see you there too...

However, bovine supports multiple actors (in the ActivityPub sense) being hosted on different domains, all with the same bovine installation. Some people call this multitenant or something.
All these ideas are still somewhat murky and might only exist in my brain. If you want a "vanilla bovine account" and possibly an explanation on how to use it, ping me .... best on Matrix or something.
Odd, that it suddenly occurred to me that I hadn't seen a 🌴 palm tree in six years.
I'm finally back home in #SuperSunnySouthernCalifornia 🌄
This pic, I took just a few minutes ago on the balcony. To the west is Catalina Island, outside my other bedroom window.
Let the summer begin!

Finally, the thing you might care about the most: Tutorial: A simple FediVerse Server has been expanded and might serve as an introduction to ActivityPub and Webfinger now. HTTP Signatures are hidden in the library, nobody wants to see them anyway.

In the meantime, here's a blast from the past. As t-shirt and ceramic coffee cup junkie I used to require all outside sales reps to send me one or the other before I would take their calls and listen to their pitches.
Here's one example, out of my closet - from the Clinton era. Big-Tech before they had the sense to have domains & websites lolz.

Hurray! The #Fediverse is evolving and the #FEP's keep coming 🎉@trwnh has just PR'ed the following enhancement proposal that deals with an improvement of the FEP process itself:
#ActivityPub
FEP-9606: Using w3id.org/fep as a namespace for extension terms and for FEP documentsCheck it out at: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/feps/fep-9606.md

Or, maybe, moved your footer to the sidebar or something, so the infinite scroll is not pushing it away? #suggestion
There is ‘Content options’ in the settings but it's stuck, maybe the setting for the infinite scroll is there? (see attached screenshot)
Thank you for the assistance.
So, I guess there's that workaround.

Here's a little ditty that might interest a few folks out here in the Wild, Wild, #Fediverse...
It's a Brave Search add on for your browser of choice - i.e., #Vivaldi, #Chromium, #Firefox, #Edge, #Brave, #Opera, and more (oddly enough, I didn't see #Kiwi on the list).
It's called #BraveGPT and after installing it whenever you choose to use #Brave_Search it includes a sidebar with your search results from #ChatGPT along with the regular #SERPs you expect.
https://github.com/kudoai/bravegpt
It's pretty new, and there's also links to other projects like a similar facility for #DuckDuckGo too.
But there's another question that this raises for myself - what happened to userscripts and greasemonkey?
Lemme know what you think, k?

in reply to Jason Koebler • • •The sheriff pretended like he found a book called "Identical" at this library (body cam footage shows he didn't), gave a speech about how giving the book to children was illegal (it's not), announced he was holding the stolen book hostage, then, after public outrage, he returned the book mutilated.
Books were taken from another library, by someone else, then given to the Sheriff. Book barcodes were cut out by someone before being returned

in reply to Jason Koebler • • •Cops randomly investigating books on library shelves is scary, intimidating, and has a chilling effect, obviously. It shows that extremist censorship groups have allies in law enforcement. Here's a speech from his tour guide from last year. In this presentation she also explains that libraries are running a communist plot promoting “social justice,” the “children’s version of Black Lives Matter,” and books that are “filled with white shaming”:
