Tweet Archive

This is an archive of all my tweets from @willnorris. They were deleted from Twitter in early 2023.

I worked with a lot of the Tweagle (Twitter Legal) team in my time at Twitter. I don't know how many are left, but I've been thinking about them a lot in the last few days. What do they even say to him in the midst of all this? Is he listening? Does he care?
RT @karaswisher: Blah blah blah blah, blah blah. (Welcome to my world for the last 25 years everyone — now you don’t have to wonder why I…
@ahmetb @googlecloud I believe that was true until recently. Now... "Authorizations by a test user will expire seven days from the time of consent. If your OAuth client requests an offline access type and receives a refresh token, that token will also expire." https://t.co/LhKp5PIjAY
@ahmetb @googlecloud That's what Simon's tweet above and the linked buganizer issue are talking about. Uploading any image is a trap that you can't escape from. And looking at the bug, it's been this way for years.
@ahmetb @googlecloud No, there's not supposed to be. But if you upload an app logo, you are forced into a verification flow (personal use or not), and there's no way out because you can't remove the app logo... only replace it with another image. That's the problem.
@ahmetb @googlecloud But because I can't remove the app logo, there's no option for me to move from "testing" to "production" without going through the verification flow. So I'm just stuck.
@ahmetb @googlecloud I actually don't WANT to get approved. I've submitted my app for verification a couple of times since that's the only path I have right now, and it's getting rejected because it's only for personal use and isn't supposed to need verification.
I'm honestly not even sure who I still know in @googlecloud devrel. I'm in this trap and am not sure how to get out of it. This is an absolutely awful dev experience. Relevant buganizer: https://t.co/iseEHLlwoG https://t.co/XbdQcSIT4z

@loic Funny, I just came across a few in my personal sticker stash. Happy to drop some in the mail to you @loic if you want. Though I think mine are from a few years later... would have been around 2010 or so. https://t.co/JEpgJSGlM5
@msilver I left in May and still have Twitter Blue. I'm very curious if it will ever be fixed. I'm using the normal Twitter app (not Earlybird), but still see this "Cancel Subscription (Earlybird Only)". Not really sure what that means. https://t.co/Xfbk6xuA5p
@pamelafox Yes, it's the "advanced web interface" in your preferences. I was never a heavy TweetDeck user, so don't know how it compares, but it certainly has the same basic feel.
@ImJasonH @bitworking @sussman @clholgat @jbeda I'm actually not even 100% sure the black one is a sticker. That, or they're just so old the backing won't easily peel off.
@_cflewis_ sure, the beauty is that anyone can run an instance. Since there are no verified accounts, I'd expect lots of orgs to run instances for "official" accounts. I'd be surprised if @ericajoy isn't looking at setting up an instance for official Dem accounts ;-P
@_cflewis_ I care a lot about controlling the identifiers I use, so I setup a single user instance at https://t.co/SDvqig1Rd1 (at least for now). Lots of shared instances out there, but I don't have any direct experience with any of them.
@dave_universetf I'm wondering if there might have been an instance also hosted on https://t.co/SDvqifKOb1 that got denylisted for abuse, and I'm getting caught by that? I'll email the octodon folks and see if we can sort it out.
@dave_universetf really? I don't see the follow or any posts? (I really hope this isn't the same problem we have today where you can't realistically run your own mail server without a ton of pain and playing whackamole with allowlists/blocklists.)
okay importantly, sign in if you want to help *others* find *you* on mastodon. It uses sign-ins to build the account database rather than pulling data from Twitter profiles and whatnot. So login in now, and then check back again later. (I'm @will@willnorris.com) https://t.co/l09Fs4hDkj
@simonw @eikke @bradfitz also wrote https://t.co/BMnKyCEx2x a few years ago for Go to slurp down all GitHub issue data for local analysis, though I imagine datasette would be better for that nowadays. Doesn't store in git notes, but sort of in a similar problem space.
@simonw @eikke I've long thought about making a GitHub Actions workflow to transparently store all PR and issue data/comments in the same git notes format. Maybe someone has already built that?
@simonw @eikke Gerrit stores code review information in notes, and I believe there are a few projects to build issue tracker using git-notes. These docs might be helpful if you actually dig into this https://t.co/s18Li5T8ub
@jasnell @bajtos @joinmastodon @PixelFed I think Facebook and Twitter's engagement (or lack thereof) matter far less now than they did then. Before, their adoption of AS mattered for interop. Now, users are leaving anyway, so interop with those walled gardens shouldn't be a concern.
RT @jasnell: Can we seriously go back to developing decentralized, standards-based, federated social networks with good user experience now?
two small updates to https://t.co/3j0OvXXNgW ... link templates are no longer dropped from JRDs, and added short lookup URLs a la https://t.co/2mqHQTCELg ya know, in case anyone else is setting up mastodon :)
One of my favorite things about this effort is how many contributions and improvements to *other* open source projects it included. And of course the feature itself is awesome! https://t.co/HKrUAf9cYC

The process for moving an app to production status is quite onerous, including recording a YouTube video demonstrating the app: https://t.co/gsy0zfoRGP Doing this for a personal app to backup my own data is ridiculous. I've got to be missing something here, right?
Google seems to be ratcheting up restrictions on OAuth apps (deprecating OOB flow and limiting access for apps in testing status to 7 days: https://t.co/eKAn3zm1pA) What are people doing for backing up personal data with apps like gmvault?
@oldmanuk @bernhardsson @helpermethod but if your lawyers *really* want current copyright year, google/addlicense isn't really going to help you update existing copyright lines, at least not today. https://t.co/pYEkppzv6D
@oldmanuk @bernhardsson @helpermethod At least a handful of folks use https://t.co/5KgIgbEqnv. I used it at a previous job, which is why I'm still sort of helping maintain it. But as others have noted, there's no real need to update copyright years. Just put first year of copyright.

Seriously @SQSupport, what is wrong with you? Now you're sending me their home address? It's really not that hard to send a confirmation email when someone first signs up. https://t.co/jaK5hCGl2o https://t.co/BNOWlMSzHi
@simonw @genmon @joshu @intrcnnctd @Tailscale @flydotio it'll be a little while before I can get to this, but tracking it as a feature to add to the Tailscale caddy module: https://t.co/afHSttx1Ik Of course, in the meantime, you can just throw tailscale on the docker image like normal, or write a small custom reverse proxy.

Hey @SQSupport, maybe actually send an initial verification email to confirm you have the right email address before sending loads of new account info filled with someone else's personal information to my gmail address? https://t.co/kC5UuvE5DB
I'd like it noted that I only showed up in said meeting because I was getting assigned work even in my absence! https://t.co/cbWCdiHxY9
@bcomnes Do you want a privacy VPN to mask your source IP, or an access VPN to connect your devices? Tailscale for the latter, obvs :) Tailscale with an exit node works for the former for many cases like watching Netflix while traveling out of country. But doesn't give anonymity
RT @dave_universetf: A gift though! I just open-sourced the postgres proxy we wrote @Tailscale to work around this. Clients can only connec…
@lejatorn @aboodman @PerkeepOrg Yeah, photos are one of the big things I haven't moved over yet. Still using Adobe Lightroom Classic with files on NAS. Not looking forward to the day when Adobe eventually kills that and forces everyone to Lightroom CC.
@lejatorn @aboodman @PerkeepOrg I've been doing a bit more frontend work at Tailscale and learning React. I've definitely pulled up Perkeep's frontend code a couple of times in the last month thinking about getting back into it :) Just not enough time right now
@caddyserver If you host email on your own domain, you should be sufficiently paranoid about access to that zone's MX records. This lets me be a lot more lax about giving caddy (and other ACME clients) the ability to manage DNS on my non-email zones.
Super excited for per-zone permissions in Google Cloud DNS. Now I've got a service account to let @caddyserver manage wildcard DNS for only specific zones. https://t.co/7UU03g2AJZ
@grhmc @theprincessxena @apenwarr @0x663030623472 @Tailscale If it's egregious you might get an email from the sheriff on node-ingham, but otherwise it's often just not worth the effort. We actually *want* people using the product, after all.

Cool. But uh, was the protobuf team at Google involved in this in any way? If not, it's hard not to see this as an attempt at a hostile fork of the protobuf spec. VERY different vibe than CommonMark which was a true open, collaborative effort to build markdown language spec https://t.co/vEcl9dLJks
uh... thanks @twitter, I guess? It's also interesting that it was this swag order (when they rebranded Core Tech to Redbird) that prompted this subtweet https://t.co/qWFKVLekzW https://t.co/ZEYDwdgwiU

@samwhoo If you're okay with @caddyserver rather than nginx, take a look at the "caddy-listener" branch of https://t.co/qroGKnTr76 which eliminates both sidecars. A single caddy binary that joins your tailnet and sets X-Webauth-* headers from Tailscale data. Still very experimental.
@Natbat @simonw Yep, I'm the neighborhood lead for Moss Beach, so happy to chat about CERT stuff too :) I just recently saw the training email also, so need to see if schedule permits.
@Natbat just randomly saw from @simonw's profile that you're a ham. You should join our Wednesday night nets if you're interested: https://t.co/ktMc1XjRkJ W6WJN
@simonw Connect it to your social graph, and in-game characters look exactly like your friends and family. Provide location, add street view imagery, and the game is actually set in your neighborhood. Very uncanny valley territory.
I'm convinced the things I built working for universities will far outlive anything else I've done in my career. 18 years later, the @uofmemphis online directory (https://t.co/A5gzMZP29E) looks exactly the same https://t.co/diRdC55elh

@samwhoo You could certainly do something with DNS. Public nameservers have public IP, local DNS server that points https://t.co/kpUWmNRhyz to the Tailscale IP. Then set that DNS server for your tailnet. Pretty sure that should work.
@samwhoo but your tailnet users would need to be accessing https://t.co/kpUWmNRhyz over its Tailscale IP, which presumably they wouldn't be if the rest of https://t.co/kpUWmNRhyz is publicly accessible
@samwhoo A really quick and dirty way would be to location /bar { allow 100.64.0.0/10; deny all; } If you wanted more control or to pass back user data, then https://t.co/3fYWBSzULh should help.
Twitter, among all apps with similar endless message scrolling, seems to be uniquely bad about this. And sadly, I never talked to the Android team about it while I was there, but I know there were several related open bugs.
If I had a $ every time Twitter for Android reloaded my timeline RIGHT as I started to read a tweet... well, I wouldn't be rich, but I'd have a VERY steady source of passive income. Reload the timeline above or below off-screen, sure, but don't remove what I'm reading!
@KrisRousey @maisem_ali @Tailscale I know @shanselman uses Tailscale inside WSL2. Not sure if he's gotten Tailscale SSH working yet if you haven't already seen it: https://t.co/LLAXA6pvm4
I still remember a talk @labarroso gave when he led Core Systems at Google. That many (most?) of those internal systems are complete monopolies. Most customers have no practical alternative. He took the responsibility that came with that very seriously. https://t.co/ODxmsPpdWi
@jtrentadams @mimu_gloves I actually have a Twiddler one-handed keyboard. just never taken the time to get proficient with it, much less left handed. :)
thinking i may need to come up with some alternate key mappings in vim for a little while https://t.co/tBV80qUf1c
@apenwarr The absolute worst is when you're in directions mode and some random side street (or none at all) gets labeled but not the major road that I'm supposed to turn onto.
@juliaferraioli Depending on what you want to do with it, I quite like the Lenovo Duet (10") running Chrome OS. It also helped that best buy had them for $200 a couple months ago.
@apparentlymart @bradfitz I don't know if I'd go that far 🙂 I had been looking for something similar for a long time, and Brad just happened to mention this one the other day https://t.co/suvyE1n3YS
@bcomnes @bradfitz Travel wired and wifi router running openwrt. Good for things like sharing hotel wifi across multiple devices, not fighting their firewall for Chromecast, putting devices behind personal firewall, etc. Has vpn support, but I'm interested in getting tailscale on it just for fun
It took @goodreads 36 days to process my data export request! I mean, it's cool that they didn't forget (because I sure did), but I have to wonder what this process entailed on the backend. Did someone do this all by hand? https://t.co/mvJau3pbU2

Lots of @teej_dv videos and combing through his and others' dotfiles has been really educational and helpful for discovering newer plugins that I probably never would have found otherwise.
Before Tailscale, I hadn't been in a hands-on coding role in a very long time. During COVID quarantine last week I spent a LOT of time exploring neovim updates and ecosystem more (after ~15 years of plain vim). nvim+LSP+treesitter+telescope+[more] is WILD!
Every time I see @apenwarr in a tweet now, I read it as "Ape Noir", and I'm beginning to worry myself about the future of @tailscale.
@arungupta @philmont @boyscouts So cool that you got to do it together... I can guarantee that's a trip your son won't forget. My dad and I were expedition 719-T in 2000. Really hoping I get to do the same when my boys are old enough.
Hey @united, you still got a ground crew in MEM? UA 5337 ran a little late but now we're just sitting on the tarmac and can't get to the gate. Hoping everyone didn't head home 😢
@imduffy15 @Tailscale @home_assistant Not sure about Alexa, but for Google Assistant, you do need some publicly accessible URL. For example here is how I reverse proxy with @caddyserver from a GCE instance to home assistant over Tailscale. https://t.co/TJsJEjCzqo
@zpao @jeffwilcox @pronichkin @rjygraham This whole thread is why I got out of OSPO management. Okay, not really. But I don't miss this part of it.
@jeffwilcox @pronichkin @rjygraham I was thinking that once the account was in a paid org, it was no longer "free". But I guess that's not really right either... The org isn't paying for the account, it's paying for a seat. Okay, then.
@jeffwilcox @pronichkin @rjygraham I've always understood it that way, too. But the terms actually say "One person or legal entity may maintain no more than one free Account". Presumably, a separate work account wouldn't be a "free account", would it? https://t.co/eHXODW7m1v
@cscotta @skamille This is a great thread. Honest question: how much do dem campaigns, clubs, etc care about volunteers being a registered dem (as opposed to independent)?
@xd1936 @Tailscale Well, I mean we do charge money for business plans :) But take a look at this recent blog post about why the personal plan is free: https://t.co/fQvUehHiXK
RT @Tailscale: Did we make our version of the @ProductHunt kitty in a Tailscale swag box for this? Yes. https://t.co/dxolrIOmZj
@commaok I'll be honest, the shipwreck photo is the only way I've ever known you, so when I watched the @Tailscale onboarding videos, I totally didn't recognize you. And definitely never would have guessed you smiled so much 😁
I've been in @getTeamflow meetings once or twice a week, but today was the first really big one where we used the red carpet for Q&A. I amazed at how simple and effective it is! https://t.co/D21d54jr1l
@bcomnes @Tailscale You could of course have your own public reverse proxy connected to your tailnet, but it's not a one-liner like ngrok. That's what I do to enable Google Assistant integration for my local home assistant: https://t.co/S7WEO90pEn
@bcomnes @Tailscale Today, not really? Different use case... ngrok is trying to expose internal services to the open internet through their managed proxy. Tailscale is keeping things OFF the open internet that don't need to be, and with p2p encryption
@jsmarr @Tailscale @bradfitz yes, I think that captures it perfectly. We're supposed to be getting together soon anyway, so I can show you more then.
@jsmarr @Tailscale @bradfitz This is sort of what I mean by some of these things not fully clicking for me on my personal tailnet. I didn't realize how seamless (and magical) it all could be until seeing it on a company tailnet.
@jsmarr @Tailscale @bradfitz Today sharing is done per-node, and the other person would have to already have their own tailnet setup that you could share into. (https://t.co/rmIMGFxHXe)
@jsmarr @Tailscale @bradfitz Would just have easily worked for dockerized apps using the new docker desktop extension. Containers join the tailnet as unique nodes which you can grant access to independently of the host machine https://t.co/42RpOLfe1U
@jsmarr @Tailscale In our case, the application was a simple web service @bradfitz was running locally which connected directly to the tailnet (using experimental https://t.co/SvhjbnSRe6 package). So didn't require any ACLs for Brad's machine, since the app was a completely separate peer
@jsmarr @Tailscale if your laptop is on your tailnet, you can allow incoming connections and setup ACLs to grant access for specific port to whoever else on your tailnet you want to share it with. Sharing to people outside your tailnet is doable also (node sharing), but sometimes a little fiddly.
Week 1 at @tailscale is in the bag. Despite having used tailscale at home for a year and half, there were so many things it enables that just didn't click for me until using it in a team environment. DNS magic, auto auth to apps, access to coworker's dev instances, so much more
Anyone at Google or Twitter, can you remind me what go/meet and go/present point to? There's some special URL for meet that makes go/meet/foo resolve to a semi-stable meeting ID, I just can't remember what it is
@dave_universetf Ooh, I started working on CW a while back, but then set it down. Might be a good time to get back into it! And yeah, def listen for the sound of the whole letter, not the individual dots and dashes.
@juliaferraioli @Tailscale a) Thanks! b) I know, I know. reasons. c) just finished my first all-hands meeting and TIL you can secure other things too! 🤯
Moving from long-time happy @Tailscale user to Day 1 as a Tailscalar. It's amazing how focused the team has been on making the core use-case SO incredibly simple, and I can't wait to get started. (I mean, who knew you could raise $100MM just to secure minecraft servers?!)
@nraboy @gauntface @Synology I think I did the math once and it would be a few hundred dollars to recover everything that we have backed up on GCS. But that includes 20+ years worth of photos, so the cost is not a concern if that was the only surviving copy of the data.
@nraboy @gauntface @Synology And same, I've never had to recovery from cloud backup. I use their coldline storage for that, so recovery would be more expensive, but I'm okay with that.
@nraboy @gauntface @Synology This was just a local backup on the same synology volume. I keep local minecraft backups for exactly this kind of in-game disaster recovery. Separately, I use cloud sync to google cloud storage for real backups.
Heroku on the other hand, still asks for full write access to all public and private repos when you attempt to connect an app to "enable code diffs and deploys". There's no part of diffs and deploys that should necessitate write access. And GitHub isn't stopping them. FIN
Interestingly, when you login at https://t.co/cJoh2asvA6 today, it takes you through a GitHub Apps login flow. I'm fairly certain that was done in response to this incident. I'm glad it's changed, but it was nearly too late.
I don't say all of this to rag on them. I love GitHub. Truly, I do. Despite their flaws, and the danger of creating a corporate-controlled silo, I think they've done amazing things for open source.
Travis and Heroku got hacked last month, and that sucks. But GitHub has not done enough to deprecate those APIs, force applications to migrate to the GitHub Apps model, and fix gaps where they exist. That's on them.
But Facebook was the subject of much of the investigation, accused of not having done enough to protect their users. CA was the culprit, but Facebook was complicit because they didn't do enough. A new lawsuit was just filed this week in DC. https://t.co/mKsJyCi0t6
Cambridge Analytica was arguably violating the Facebook terms of use, but they were still using capabilities that Facebook provided them. At a technical level, they were using the system exactly as it was designed to work.
If you recall, Cambridge Analytica used Facebook APIs to collect personal data on millions of Facebook users without their consent to be used for political advertising. It was a huge scandal, resulting in the collapse of Cambridge Analytica and loads of subsequent investigations
I told Nat and team that eventually they were going to have a Cambridge Analytica moment. It was a somewhat provocative thing to say, since the story had just broken the previous year, but I explained my meaning.
Other app developers that I talked to said that they would love to move over to GitHub Apps, but the capabilities weren't sufficient for their particular use case (I don't recall the details). For many others (presumably Travis included), it just wasn't a high enough priority yet
Or, as in the case of @travisci, they had only migrated partially. Using GitHub Apps for much of their integration, but using an OAuth flow for login that STILL requested full write access to all repos! Private requests and public shaming did nothing https://t.co/doobAXjP5w
Fortunately GitHub Apps solves nearly all of the primary concerns I had. Granular scopes, and the ability to restrict exactly which repos the app could access. It was great! Except there was one big problem: many of the apps our developers used hadn't migrated to the new APIs.
I could approve or deny an app for the org, but I had no visibility, much less control, over what scopes could be requested or what repos the app could access. This is still true today. https://t.co/rFq8LqzjPo
Almost all of my requests were security related, and at the very top of the list was how dangerous their OAuth controls were. Scopes were overly broad, and as an org owner the control I had was a joke.
That size of an account afforded me a private sit-down with @natfriedman, who was about a year into his role as CEO, and a handful of other executives at GitHub Universe 2019. It was an opportunity for Nat and team to hear direct from customers what we wanted from GitHub.
In the fall of 2019, I led engineering for Google Open Source, which included management of their massive footprint on GitHub. Thousands of repos across hundreds of orgs, and we were about to ink a reasonably large deal for GitHub Enterprise.
I appreciate GitHub's thorough and transparent response to this, really I do. And it sucks that Heroku and Travis CI got compromised. But make no mistake, this is GitHub's fault, and they've known about it for years. This is their Cambridge Analytica moment (or it should be) 🧵 https://t.co/TIrsKjxQ85
@brianduff It was very easy to clear out... mandatory flyway process? naw. required training? not gonna matter. an update from Parag? okay, I'll read that. archive the rest.
After ~10 years working in Open Source Program Offices, and the majority of that time being a people manager, I've realized how much I really miss the engineering. So that's what I'm gonna do... move back to a SWE role and write some Go (and other things too, probably).
Welp, that's all folks. Today is my last day at Twitter. Inbox is empty, just a few docs to finish writing and a few tickets left to file. It's been wild and I truly wish everyone the best. No surprise, I'll miss the people the most. [...] https://t.co/W8160aTa6i
@Tailscale looks like someone accidentally linked to the wrong DERP in this blog post. Unless it was intentional, in which case, well played. https://t.co/cOEg4hj1ZU https://t.co/AcnyHj2Goi
Finally tested restoring a backup with @Synology hyper backup and it worked beautifully! The disaster recovered? 4yr old accidentally dumped a bucket of lava in a woodland mansion
@Tailscale To be clear, this helps the very specific issue of local traffic being routed through the tailscale subnet router when you really want it to go direct.
TIL, advertising @tailscale routes with slightly smaller subnet masks helps prevent issues when on the physical network For example, `--advertise-routes=10.0.0.0/15` when it's actually a 10.0.0.0/16 subnet. Maybe better ways exist? But this works for me https://t.co/HywcPlD9xK

I have found myself immediately searching the homepage of any new service or startup I find for "chain", "coin", and "nft" as a simple grift detector. Seems like that would make a good browser extension.
@Carnage4Life @kayvz @boo Not to diminish the work of previous leaders at all(!), but one saving grace may be that @jaysullivan (now consumer lead, and interim revenue lead) recently presented to the company the most coherent and well articulated product vision I've seen in my time at Twitter.
This is a SUPER interesting case for anyone that cares about open source. And also a good distraction from all the other garbage happening today :) https://t.co/YudnhbW3zs
@TheMerovius @github gah! yes, I forgot that personal repos don't allow read-only collaborators. This is definitely broken. Or at least... sub-optimal.
@TheMerovius @github This implies it *should* be possible? "members [...] can also assign a pull request review to any person or team with read access to a repository. The requested reviewer or team will receive a notification that you asked them to review the pull request." https://t.co/rjiM1JHAm3
@TheMerovius @github I guess this is the change I was thinking about, but it's from 3 years ago and only mentions issue assignment specifically. :-\ https://t.co/tlgzojdxDp
@TheMerovius @github I'll have to find the reference, but I recall that changing recently (because I had the same pain), at least for assigning issues. I think it's now anyone who has interacted with the issue or repo? Not sure if that carries over for PR reviewers as well
Everything's under control. Situation normal. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?
@johnmark Hah! Within the first hour, replies of "welcome to the family" and "please don't go". FWIW, I've been very happy with Fi since launch. Wifi calling seems to be working more consistently lately which makes a big diff for me. https://t.co/skz70Vciz4
@shanselman @jeffwilcox @Foone This is awesome, but I'm genuinely curious why GitHub shows 4 contributors in the sidebar. API just shows Scott as commit author (which I'd expect, https://t.co/QwLnRnDqQ6). Is @GitHub now including non-code contributions for the sidebar? That'd be great actually! https://t.co/StT26s2t46
apropos of nothing, Twitter's personal data export is *really* nice. Interactive offline experience to explore everything, with cleanly organized data directory. LOTS of data in there, though sadly (and understandably) with others' names removed. https://t.co/FDapDT6CrC
@scottjenson @wordpressdotcom @Ghost Perhaps not? As @spf13 mentioned, most of the other managed hosts seem to start around similar price points. I certainly want to believe that there is still a market for "WordPress + custom domain and nothing more", but maybe the economics actually don't work out?
@singpolyma @wordpressdotcom It means we'll need to update this wiki page: https://t.co/iK9u1l2y8S And consider finding an alternate recommended WordPress host for https://t.co/E4sarWB0UE
@singpolyma @wordpressdotcom oh, custom domain hosting was never gratis, which I'm okay with. But it was previously available on a much simpler plan that didn't have all the extras https://t.co/pkEdzPTXrB
For comparison, there used to be a "personal" plan that was only $3.50/month that supported custom domains and a few other small feature. https://t.co/NmUSc12z7m
Really bummed to learn today that @wordpressdotcom is no longer a good inexpensive option for someone wanting to take that first step into the indieweb by publishing on their own domain. Instead, they're forced into a $15/month plan with all the bells and whistles. :( https://t.co/R3OVl9gEJs
@wordpressdotcom @m_galvagno @wordpressdotcom is no longer an option for someone who just wants to publish under a domain they control (as @indiewebcamp advocates) without all the expensive extras. That's a real bummer, and more importantly a huge disappointment from @automattic and @photomatt :-\
@wordpressdotcom @m_galvagno With all due respect, having those announcements ready *before* completely overhauling the pricing plan probably would have been a good idea. I'm coming in late (only because one of my plans just renewed), but this is looking pretty awful.

@ahmetb Actually, I guess it was almost two years ago. This was the before shot of the same area. We dug out all of the existing dirt by hand, added the retaining wall, irrigation and electrical, and built the raised beds. This has been our biggest pandemic project on the house. https://t.co/cQTgUAsVKU
@ahmetb For the new above-ground pressure adaptors, hose, and connectors, around $100, mostly from https://t.co/GHxuwMJUTy. All of the below-ground work was done last year when we built the beds. Again, probably around $100 or so in PVC pipe, but a whole lot in personal labor :) https://t.co/KQDLtmYABE

Like I said, it was the necessary v1 we all needed to learn the lessons so we build better versions later. I just worry about all the new mistakes the current iteration will introduce and the hard lessons we'll learn :-\
@chrismessina @voxpelli @singpolyma @steveivy @pfefferle @context @viamirror @UnlockProtocol And that's certainly something we never got to with DiSo. We were so focused on the those foundational building blocks, that we never got to really compelling applications built on top of that foundation.
@chrismessina @voxpelli @singpolyma @steveivy @pfefferle @context @viamirror I don't deny there's some potential there.Also with what @UnlockProtocol is doing. But I think there's entirely too much hype surrounding all of this right now which makes it really hard to suss out the interesting work. But maybe that's the point, we don't know what will stick.
@pfefferle @voxpelli @chrismessina @singpolyma @steveivy @bluesky Not currently. But it's not far from my interests and my actual work at Twitter, so I imagine I'll get involved to some degree eventually.
@voxpelli @chrismessina @singpolyma @steveivy @pfefferle oh, they're doing incredible work making WordPress a great platform for the indieweb! But I'm not sure that there's any connection to the original DiSo plugins we wrote. So much has changed (for the better!)
@voxpelli @chrismessina @singpolyma @steveivy @pfefferle The spirit of what we were trying to do is still very much alive in a number of different projects and communities, and it's certainly still frustrating how little industry adoption we have 14(?) years later.
@voxpelli @chrismessina @singpolyma @steveivy @pfefferle Oh, I know :) I really meant that to be poking at NFT folks, not you. I'm not surprised or even sad that much of the early DiSo work didn't survive. Maybe it was the v1 that was supposed to be thrown away to make room for the protocols and formats we have today.
@chrismessina @voxpelli @singpolyma @steveivy @pfefferle Independent servers talking to each other using standard protocols to enable communication? I thought we just called that the web.

@beyang Non open source software you're presumably licensing or buying upfront, so different model. I've been trying to think through the right analogy for OSS where there is immediate benefit for near zero cost, but that the maintenance cost must be planned for.
@beyang Yeah, that's part of where the analogy breaks down, because it doesn't have to be paid back in the traditional sense. But there is still ongoing maintenance cost that must be accounted for, which can vary wildly depending on the business's open source strategy.
@beyang I've actually been thinking a lot lately about open source as a leveraged investment. Investing in your product and business using "borrowed" code. The analogy begins to break down before too long, but I still think there may be something there.

That said, I can’t fully explain what’s going on in this picture. I’m willing to accept that this was staged just for the picture, and that someone did not, in fact, have a serious lapse in macaroni-and-cheese judgement. https://t.co/rYjmYVwDzG
When I achieved macaroni enlightenment, I hesitated to learn whether it was my mother or Kraft that had led me astray as a child. It was a small comfort to discover that it was indeed Kraft, though the betrayal I felt was palpable. Suffice it to say we’re an Annie’s household now
(In essence, you’re making a roux. Or at least you would be if the cheese packet has flour in it. I’m not sure if it does.) It turns out that this is what @annieshomegrown has instructed on their boxed mac and cheese all along: https://t.co/O1PmltZA9r
You don’t mix the sauce ingredients into the pasta-filled pan like a monster! That is the way to clumpy, grainy, cheese-powder disaster. Instead, leave the pasta in the strainer and make the sauce in the empty pan first! Only once it's nice and smooth do you add the pasta back in
What I saw my wife do was nothing less than life-altering. Okay, well at least I still think about it every time I make mac and cheese, some 10 years later.
But a few years into my marriage I realized that I had been making mac and cheese *wrong* my entire life. Surely there are different ways to make mac and cheese, but is it really fair to say that the Kraft way is wrong? Yes. Yes, it is.
I must have done this hundreds of times throughout my childhood, never once questioning these instructions. Why would I? Of course @kraftmacncheese of all companies knows how to make a pot of mac & cheese!
We were a Kraft household growing up, eating our fair share of blue box mac and cheese. Making it is simple: cook pasta and drain water, put pasta back in the pan, then stir in milk, butter, and cheese packet. And in case you're stranded and forget: https://t.co/AjAYgligef 🧵

I'm particularly proud of the level of transparency the team achieved on this, complete with open sourcing the analysis code and a full academic paper detailing the work. https://t.co/vRi31O37CO
I think I'm enjoying the audiobook for A Promised Land way more than I would have the paper book. Hearing @BarackObama impersonate Malia impersonating "Johnny McJohn-John" alone is worth the price of admission. (around the 55 minute mark of chapter 3, if you wanna jump to it)
hell yeah we are. I feel really fortunate that open source cuts across so much of the company that I've gotten to work closely with quite a few of these really talented folks. https://t.co/xTsvUvfmvM
@chrismessina @asheshayes @googledevs okay, but let's be honest about what we launched in 6 months in 2011. It was basically the Google+ API docs and a blog feed, if I remember correctly: https://t.co/AH96IlabQy DevSite today is a far, far cry from what it was.
DevSite profiles. Only about 10 years later😂 https://t.co/4c7xGGIIQc (requires Google login for some reason?) /cc @chrismessina
The lack of these kinds of controls made GitHub Actions really hard to roll out comfortably when working with @GoogleOSS. Now that @TwitterOSS is beginning to move a lot of our workflows to Actions as well, I'm so glad I don't have to repeat that pain.
And then just a couple of weeks ago, they added the ability to customize the permissions of the default token, down to the individual job https://t.co/g0gJEPiRY8
Wow, really happy to see these security improvements in @github actions when I wasn't looking. Much better control for specifying which actions are allowed to run in repo or across an org (I guess this was added months ago?) https://t.co/AcQH6sER3t

@chrisrpatterson the former is at least possible today, even if a bit tedious, by duplicating workflow file across repos. the latter just isn't possible at all today.
@chrisrpatterson org-level actions for sure. Both: - execute this workflow on all repos in org, as if it were setup in each individually - execute this workflow on org-level events, outside context of any given repo
@chrismessina @nicksdjohnson @tonyherrera @harper @singpolyma @hueniverse These days I'd probably recommend we finger, though even that has had rather limited adoption
@flameeyes @voxpelli @felixge certainly from a corporate perspective, that's not terribly appealing. You typically don't want to give up rights that you don't absolutely have to unless there's a good reason. (And sometimes there's a good reason)
@flameeyes @voxpelli @felixge but that means that the contributor is now subject to whatever rights public domain gives them, even for their own work. (and there you enter the debate on what PD actually means, how to apply it, etc etc)
@flameeyes @voxpelli @felixge but when contributing to a CC0 (or other public domain work), the contributor is also putting their contribution into the public domain, and are giving up their own rights. Depending on your perspective, that's working exactly as intended.
@flameeyes @voxpelli @felixge barring things like a copyright assignment agreement, the copyright holder isn't *giving up* any rights (except perhaps exclusivity, I guess). They're only *adding* rights for others to use the code under the terms of the license.
@flameeyes @voxpelli @felixge When contributing to a permissively licensed project like 0BSD, the copyright holder still holds the copyright to their contribution and can do whatever they want with it. They own it. They just *also* give an uber-permissive license for others to use it.
@flameeyes @voxpelli @felixge yes, and that's why CC-NC and friends are forbidden, for the reason you mention. But the public domain issue is a bit more subtle.
@flameeyes @voxpelli @felixge Ah, we're talking about slightly different things. The licenses that can be used in //thirdparty (https://t.co/owS2kgguVz) is not the same as the licenses that can be contributed to (https://t.co/sF99oi1TxV). Again, that comes back to intricacies of public domain.
@voxpelli @felixge oh, interesting... I hadn't actually noticed the new "OSI approved" banner. (at least I think it's new?) @joshsimmons @baconandcoconut is that still rolling out? Any reason the 0BSD page wouldn't have it?
@voxpelli @felixge I think those concerns are unfounded (which is also why we finally classified Unlicense as "unencumbered" at Google after many years). But it's important to acknowledge them.
@voxpelli @felixge I've seen some lawyers automatically put guards up any time public domain is mentioned (not without reason, mind you). So Unlicense can be difficult to get accepted, even though there is an explicit license and the PD dedication is pretty well worded.
@voxpelli @felixge yeah, for new projects that I can choose the license for, I'd likely go 0BSD as well (which I did for my dotfiles). Most of my open source work for the past decade has been subject to employer policies, so /shrug
@voxpelli @felixge I've argued that sample code (and possibly API clients) really *should* be released under 0BSD/ISC style licenses, in order to remove every possible barrier to adoption. The benefit of more API usage typically far outweighs whatever benefit an MIT license would give you.
@voxpelli @felixge well, I'd add that it's pretty well accepted as an inbound licenses for large companies I'm aware of that really focus on these things. I don't think it's very common amongst these same companies as an outbound license.
@voxpelli @felixge Yes, 0BSD seems to be pretty well accepted. Anecdotally, I think ISC even more so, with similar effect. Though I'd ask "preferable" to whom? If the author would like credit for their work (which isn't a lot to ask), then MIT is perfectly suitable.
Apparently I never noticed Android's network settings let you specify a VPN as "always on". Now I can make sure @tailscale is always connected, even after a restart. As I add more local-only home automation devices, this is great. https://t.co/D3FQoFU4cb

@fatih go-github was my fault. In hindsight, I kinda wish we had setup a vanity domain before it was too late to change it. I'm glad we added the extra "/github" to import path though; no need for import aliases, and allowed other top-level dirs like examples and scrape.
@markjaquith At least Pence would have the distinction of the shortest presidency in history. (Current is William Henry Harrison who died 31 days into office)
I would sort of expect "content:foo" to do that, but the search query syntax makes pretty clear that's not what that is for. There is no "type:contents" and "-file:website" removes plenty of legitimate matches https://t.co/OSjnfmrCtE
@srcgraph can you limit a search to *only* file contents, and not filename? example, this search includes files in the "website" directory that don't have "website" in the file contents: https://t.co/KGQrINOUdM
Today I discovered https://t.co/NSTgUC72o1. I kinda wish GitHub had an OpenAPI spec 7+ years ago, so I could have taken this approach with https://t.co/kDgbChjuaV. Hand-writing a client for that large of an API is a lot of work.
This interview between @jack and @photomatt does a great job capturing why I'm so optimistic and excited about open source at Twitter. It's great to have leaders that understand and support the importance of open source and have the desire to give back. https://t.co/LbP7OqN2eR
I had not fully appreciated how progressive Twitter as a company really is until I joined.

@YaguraStation @joshsimmons @GoogleOSS @theunlicense if you want a "just do whatever you want, I don't care about attribution" style license, I would recommend the Zero-Clause BSD (aka Free Public License): https://t.co/seNDoVoAQf
@joshsimmons @YaguraStation @GoogleOSS @theunlicense though it's worth noting that we actually do accept @theunlicense at Google for inbound open source code, and classify it the same as CC0 https://t.co/B31N6mmqTR
@joshsimmons @YaguraStation @GoogleOSS @theunlicense more on OSI's review of the unlicense can be found here: https://t.co/M6tlOtOJA9 It's worth noting that "compliant with the OSD" does not necessarily mean "OSI approved". The point of OSI's license list is to remove uncertainty around OSD adherence.

@aboodman Though to be fair to OpenSSL, there was no good way to handle that. The previous licensing was a mess, and the work they did to straighten it out as best they could was commendable. Certainly makes for a good cautionary tale.
@aboodman OpenSSL is a good example of the pain (and controversy) involved with changing licenses without a pre-existing CLA (https://t.co/Vooz3a3jqQ, https://t.co/NUZCQtoaxP)
@aboodman The AUTHORS file is really about recognition, it doesn't have any legal bearing. Contributors own the copyright to their contributions whether we list them in an AUTHORS file or not.
@aboodman Each individual or company only owns the code they contributed. Relicensing would be possible because all contributors signed a CLA, but there'd have to be a *really* good reason to do that. We've only ever relicensed a small handful of projects.

RT @michaelrhanson Firefox Contacts 0.3 supports direct #webfinger resolution with person: URLs http://mzl.la/cbkBHv (freaking awesome)!
looking forward to digging into WordPress again when I have some time. Very excited about what's coming in the 3.0 release
not sure when this was added, but Bank of America now has scanned images of ATM check deposits viewable online. nice!
should an Atom -> HTML XSLT include hAtom in the generated markup? Or is that just too meta (and useless)? /cc @t @benward
Someone should build an XSLT stylesheet for Activity Streams that make them all pretty like. I'd look into adding to Buzz feeds #sparetime
XRD 1.0 - CD02 has been published! http://j.mp/cTOQLR You have 28 days left to comment. :) http://j.mp/cDzBY7

@dropbox how about including the words "coming soon" in the title of posts like that in the future? Somewhat deceptive as it is now.
really excited to see plans of new @dropbox android app. NOT excited about the fact that it took me 10 minutes to discover it's months away
Well this sucks... Hwy 92 out of HMB completely stopped by Hwy Patrol. Can't see what's up ahead, but not likely we're moving anytime soon

would love to hear some gmail power users talk about their label/filter strategy. Not basic tutorials, but serious work flows
So it's looking like @focusmarriage isn't actually being broadcast live, at least not on the west coast. Why not just be honest about that?
*really* appreciate the "from" address on @facebook emails. The extra +[unique_hash] allows for easy filtering without spoofability
amazed at difficulty in migrating from IMAP to standard GMail account. imapsync to the rescue, but not for mere mortals /cc @dataliberation

IPS is great when I want to share what I'm doing, but what about when I DON'T? Like standing on the train or in line? #ipad
oh, perhaps these aren't new additions to Bing Maps... I'm just viewing it now with Silverlight installed. That's disappointing.
super excited about @lettersapp. can't go wrong with @gruber at the helm. well maybe you can, but I'm still excited http://pastie.org/785269

hmm... itunes authentication server sure seems to be having trouble right now. Can browse store, but not login or download anything
err, apparently @paypal does alert you when a card is going to expire... I guess I have them turned off. I think i'll fix that now.
so apparently @paypal doesn't alert you when you have a credit card on file nearing its expiration date. That would be really helpful.

even @fidelity can't show my overall portfolio performance beyond the current trading day. I'm not a day trader, show me long-term graphs!

and what's with this dependency tree from hell just to install xmlroff via macports? xorg, sqlite3? really, that's necessary?

maybe not so much "whining" from @scobleizer, but "I don't feel safe with WordPress" is a bit sensationalist given his lack of due diligence

@1Password must say that I find the 3.0 interface more distracting than helpful, though I do enjoy some of the functional improvements
wow, just realized Snow Leopard drops Java 1.4 (1.5 and 1.6 only). Not sure if it's still available for developers anywhere.
Snow Leopard saved me 200-300 MB. whoopadeedoo! Methinks much of the claimed space saving is print drivers, which I didn't have installed
funny that one of the things I'm really looking forward to with Snow Leopard is enhancements to screen saver password handling.
