The Open Source project https://github.com/NicolasConstant/BirdsiteLive allows to proxy Twitter accounts seamlessly to Mastodon. You may e.g. follow my Twitter account via @holtwick@tweets.icu I added an example for self-hosting the proxy using Docker in my personal list of favorite services https://github.com/holtwick/selfhosted #selfhosted #birdsitelive #twitter #docker

#Tips: If you want to use a custom wake-word for SEPIA #OpenAssistant created with Porcupine (2.1) by #Picovoice you can now use this website to convert your '.ppn' file to the right JS format: https://sepia-framework.github.io/files/porcupine/convert.html (the old b64 files are not included anymore in the v2.1 Zip file)

So many years we fought with the Twitter API. I love that if you want an RSS of someone's Mastodon feed, you just add .rss at the end of their URL. Open Web, my friends. https://hachyderm.io/@shanselman.rss

Mastodon supports attaching audio files. You can attach them with the same button you use for photos or videos.

Audio files can be any length, as long as the file size is under 40 megabytes. The supported formats are MP3, OGG, WAV, FLAC, OPUS, AAC, M4A and 3GP.

The track used in the example is "Modern Technology" by Xvenox under CC-By-SA

#TIL about the special-use .home.arpa tld. It's reserved for "non-unique use in residential home networks" and free to use. I just remapped all my local self-hosted services to *.home.arpa domains. So much better than using 192.168.0.*:PORT #selfhosted #selfhosting #homenet

No book in the past decade has been so thought-provoking or impactful to my day-to-day software engineering approach and mindset as Richard Fabian's
(@fabs) "Data Oriented Design."

I was familiar with DoD in a very pragmatic sense before I started reading this, but Richard's application of traditional database and information theory is really thought-provoking.

It's all free online (HUGE kudos to Richard for that) but you should give him your money. He's earned it.
