oh yeah i have bluesky i forgot

I wrote a blog post breaking down the moral and technical failings of Cloudflare's recent Matrix project and why I am disappointed in the Matrix.org Foundation for supporting it: nexy.blog/2026/01/28/c... #matrix #cloudflare

Security alert for users of the #matrix homeservers #conduit, #conduwuit, #grapevine, #tuwunel, and #continuwuity: A zero day vulnerability was found and exploited and affects all conduit and conduit-based homeserver deployments. Please read more here: github.com/continuwuity... Please update ASAP

Silly on main is back in fashion

The lioness does not concern herself with her AirPod battery percentage

Idk why my phone grouped a bunch of apps into "social" I've never seen a collection of spaces so antisocial as that

Who up dreaming of consequences reaching those who wronged you

continuwuity 0.5.0rc8 is out! v12 room support, LDAP auth, invite filtering, faster joins, and more - forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuati... #matrix #continuwuity #selfhosting #selfhosted #federation

"1 notification" yeah where the fuck is it

I get why it's a thing, but I can't be the only one unnerved by the increasing number of market place sites that let the seller rate the buyer, because what do you mean I might get three stars for... not talking enough, halving my buyer score 😭

I'm so sick of hearing about the OSA can they repeal it already 💔

wrote some words about how i hacked my washing machine because I'm really bad a time keeping and need to be told when things are done nexy.blog/2025/07/27/h...

"They'll come for the VPNs eventually too" host your own lol

*taps microphone* The Continuwuity 0.5.0-rc.7 release is now available, and it's better than ever! Our amazing community merged 35 pull requests to bring you some fantastic new features for our #Rust-based #Matrix homeserver. #Continuwuity #FOSS #Homeserver #SelfHosting #Release

Hey everyone! If you use #matrix and have set up or used a #continuwuity server, I'd really appreciate it if you gave us a star on github, it's really helping to boost our reach :D github.com/continuwuity...

*scrolling the news* who cares who cares who cares grim who cares who cares nice who cares

The good news is I finally changed two octets of an IP address and my fediverse server is back online! The bad news is I waited two weeks to do it and now have to process 2 weeks of backlogged federation :(

How do you break the cycle of "grey walls black furniture" I recently moved into my own place (rented) and I've got no idea where to even begin with decorating and giving it colour

Sometimes I wonder if being exposed to the opinions of basically everybody 24/7 might actually just be bad for me

The world if I could raise errors in golang rather than returning them

Hey everyone! New release v0.5.0-rc.6 of continuwuity is out now! We've introduced a new, welcoming HTML landing page, fixed a lot of bugs and improved knock_restricted room support! Continuwuity is a community-driven Matrix chat server written in Rust. forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuati...

✨

To anyone upset or frustrated with #matrix moderation and recent attacks, please read my write-up on fedi: fedi.transgender.ing/notes/a84mst... I'd cross post it here, but it's too much yap for bsky to handle apparently. TL;DR: things *are* happening, depsite what it may seem.

God this app is so draining to use how do I get rid of the politics crap and just see funny shitposts instead 😭

I've made my quarterly bsky post, I will now return to my cave

99% of protesters quit right before they make an impactful social media post

Hi Bluesky! Excited to announce the first release (v0.5.0-rc.5) of Continuwuity: ➡️ continuwuity.org ➡️ forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuati... Continuwuity is a community-led fork of the Matrix homeserver conduwuit, picking up development after the original was archived.

the year is 2055. xorg is now maintained by the rust4linux project. wayland has added a 78th method for sending text to applications. google chrome is a kernel module. you can make opengl calls via ioctl. your MacBook 7080 has more legal rights than you do. 3 billion devices run java.

TypeScript team: rewrites compiler in Go. Go community: what do you mean your new compiler takes more than a minute to compile? Unacceptable. Dishonorable even. We are so sorry for this sub par experience. Not how we do things around here. Two days later: WIP 5x speedup. HN: why pick Go anyway?

NEW: security researchers found what they say appears to be a backdoor into Eight Sleep beds, which could allow company engineers to SSH into any bed in theory, they could see if you're home or not, if you're sleeping alone or with someone in today's newsletter for @bloomberg.com

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... whelp looks like it's not an empty threat anymore

I am no longer accepting the argument "there are bigger problems than this!" unless you are personally working to stop the ultimate Heat Death of the Universe.

Welcome to northern England, where having buses with functioning doors is too much to ask for

Ngl open source stuff that use fancy new TLDs for their homepages are a bit of a red flag to me. Looks like you care more about vanity than longevity imo

I find it appalling that I'm paying exorbitant university fees just to be in an inaccessible building and being spoonfed AI generated worksheets. I'm paying shy of 20k/yr to be handed ChatGPT documents :/

psa dont be afraid to block people you dont like. you don't owe anyone an explanation either 🤷

Excited in anticipation for the music that's gonna get released over the next 5 years

formal announcement that uni starts tomorrow so im going to start sleeping at a reasonable time. My apologies for any inconveniences this may cause (/j)

Considering migrating my server to an old laptop when I move out. Spec wise, it would be a *huge* upgrade, but also, I've only ever used old optiplexes as servers. Has anyone on here used a laptop as a homelab/server? what issues did you run into?

Is bluesky federated in a similar way to fediverse servers are? It feels like people *say* it's decentralised, but I'm yet to actually see anyone self-hosting a full bsky stack? Unless it's just transparent and I've literally just not noticed

New blog post! Fresh off the press. nexy.blog/2025/01/22/n...

damn

oh you use a text editor? real programmers make their edits directly on the github web ui

captions are neglected in today's media and that makes me sad. Why do youtube poops from 12 years ago have better subtitles than videos by people with millions of subscribers :(

Man everyone's so serious now, where's the fun and whimsy

I’m sick of living through Wikipedia entries.

Make software simple to the end user, but not so simple that you start writing error messages like "Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again later." As this helps nobody, and quite often can mislead people into troubleshooting incorrectly and, worst case scenario, breaking things further.

we have a trailer for What If A Man Was Large, Season 3 in this it appears we will explore the question of "what if a large man encountered another, even larger man" I hope this show runs for decades

My biggest mistake in life was being in the womb instead of buying a house
