Notes on Setting up Forgejo on Coolify with SSH https://rknight.me/blog/notes-on-setting-up-forgejo-on-coolify-with-ssh/

I had a knightmare getting SSH push/pull working with this and it turned out "do less" was the answer. Also includes some other miscelanea on setting up Forgejo to start moving away from GitHub.

Thanks to @cory @zicklepop @adam and @daniel for their help with this.

On Saturday, March 28, we'll gather once again to say NO KINGS.

Join us at Embarcadero Plaza to march to Civic Center. We'll have a rally and an informational fair where you can get plugged in with friendly people who will have a use for your skills.

Also: We're raising money to help pay for the permits, printing, and pumping out sound that it'll take to make this event better than any No Kings before. Please donate here: https://indivisiblesf.org/no-kings-3/donate

Dear Lazyweb,

I have two YouTube accounts, jwz and dnalounge, and I'm using the oauth API with both of them to automate uploads and stuff. With the DNA account, I am getting a refresh_token that lasts forever. But with the jwz one, I am getting a refresh_token that can only refresh the access_token for a week, and then I have to log in again. Any ideas what fuckery is afoot?

The DNA token does this...

If you've been wondering what happened to freethoughtblogs, it turns out it has been officially owned by a ghost, Ed Brayton. I'm trying to resolve the ownership. I'm trying convince Bluehost that I'm not dead, but my partner is.

When we demand that tech leaders stand up to autocratic creep and express revulsion at their acquiesce to fascists, it's not idle talk. What we (and they) do matters:

So, odds are anybody who is still active on Twitter is an asshole, right?

But it's also taken me too long to notice that Twitter activity also a solid predictor of somebody being a massive "AI" booster. Would have been able to avoid a lot of annoying discussions had I cottoned onto this sooner

One of the common misnomers around the migration away from toxic tech stacks is that the options are either 1) services managed by a company or 2) everyone #selfhosting themselves.

There is however an often overlooked 3rd option of community-scaled infrastructure. Here a group identifies their needs, plans & deploys to meet them. Much like a community garden, that infrastructure has people skilled & dedicated to its upkeep in providing for that group, working bees & skillshare as needed.

@fromjason jokes on you they’re all depression apps

I prob won't ever use BetterHelp or any Uber-for therapy apps. Not hearing good things about how they treat their therapists, shocking.

I'm being a little tongue in cheek with titling the folder "Depression Apps," but I do find some of these to be useful.

I use Endel and Finch the most. Endel is one of those "frequency music therapy" apps. No idea what the science says about it, but it's nice to meditate with it on. Finish gameifies your tasks. Love it. Use it often.

All the tech news blogs are publishing Anthropic's unsubstantiated claims of a Chinese hack, again.

Zero of these outlets are making readers aware that Anthropic has every motivation to lie or mislead the public about AI models that directly threaten its business model by proving you don't need the cloud to run these services.

Even though security experts have repeatedly called BS on Anthropic's claims, the media are running with the narrative and omitting key context.

currently poking at the Summer Yue "openclaw ate my email" story

and it's oddly insubstantial

* six tweets, that's the total source material
* some screenshots on the first tweet
* apparently a real person? fine
* tweets every coupla months, previous tweet in October, then this flurry
* no other checkable evidence, hasn't spoken to any press

i am wondering the degree to which this happened

this fits a known species of critihype - "the ai fucked up so hard, imagine how cool it'll be when it doesn't"

but this one is hilarious but also weirdly insubstantial
