I just logged in to the GUI & noticed your avatar. Normally I just use a terminal. I appreciate the heads up on Debian getting a new release in the next week.
I only migrate from scratch anymore (no dist-upgrade), so perhaps I'll skip buster.
@anmol Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but the markdown needs a lot of work. Things that are broken: ordered lists, tables, reference links, the <details> tag, & asterisks fail to italicize inside of quotes.
@fla @musicmatze In Diaspora some symbols don't render correctly, such as the test tube (🧪) Also, the HTML tag "<details>" is commonly accepted in markdown, but not Diaspora's flavor of markdown. A common problem with most implementations is wrapping. I compose in emacs and use control-q for readable markdown, but #Diaspora takes the newlines literally.
@FreePietje @torproject i know it's not an initial announcement. When I 1st heard the announcement stretch was /stable/. I found it so proposterous at the time that I was certain they wouldn't get away with that nutty schedule. The schedule has already slipped & rightfully so. If they break the network this year, it would be reckless. If this move doesn't break the network, then it's not an issue.
@FreePietje @torproject I guess I didn't understand the consequences of v2 obsolescence. I thought the network and directory would break onion v2, so that a v2 supporting client couldn't talk to a v2 server. If the network will still allow v2, i'd say that's fair enough.
@torproject @FreePietje Migrations are not just the flip of a switch. I've seen dist-upgrade totally hose a simple stock installation beyond repair. In my case I have some packages on life support which interact with other pkgs, a hack-job that becomes more labor intensive & fragile with every migration. It's reckless for Tor project to put unjustified urgency on v2 obsolescence when v3 can coexist.
@FreePietje @torproject It's a reckless schedule largely because it lacks coordination with the highest quality most disciplined distro of all mainstream distros. Onion v2 & v3 can coexist just fine, but because of some people's unreasonable paranoia everyone is being hastily forced into upgrades and migrations.
@gerowen satellite.earth is a #CloudFlare site, so that's a non-starter. Thanks for trying though.
@musicmatze I won't do an MS Github login, which greatly increases the effort because it means I have to try to track down a developer. And I don't do Facebook either, which often leaves email. The major email providers (gmail, outlook, etc) block email from me. So putting it out on Mastodon on the off chance that the right person notices is sadly the best option these days.
@torproject that's too soon. Debian still officially supports versions that can't do v3.
@dansup @NGIZero @herrdoering Yikes, I'm afraid that's the URL. I viewed it safely without using CloudFlare by going to https://web.archive.org/web/20210226061850/fedidb.org/
@herrdoering @NGIZero @dansup I hope it's not fedidb.org. I just took a guess and tried it, and it's a #CloudFlare site, which indicates that the people behind it aren't really commited to #decentralization.
@marcuse1w a list of instances is here, but I don't know which I could recommend: https://linuxreviews.org/Lemmy#Websites_running_Lemmy
@liaizon that's terrible even after magnification. Position 1 could be a "x" or a "X". position 2 could be a "2" or a "?". Position 4 could be a "P" or an "R".
@marcuse1w I have no problem with them enforcing any *published* rules. If I don't like the rules, I can walk. The problem is when lemmy.ml enforces /unwritten/ rules-- they block something b/c they feel like it. Someone said lemmy.ml goes as far as cleaning up the mod logs to conceal the censorship. So lemmy.ml is not a good instance.
@marcuse1w i'd be interested if ada_lang were on a node other than lemmy.ml, where the censorship is quite heavy
@freetechproject Since #MXLinux.org is a #CloudFlare site, I won't go near that distro. And since #LinuxMint recently started jailing most of their documentation on a CloudFlare site, I've started moving people away from #Mint too.

@eff we need laws to limit #Ring deployment. Many European govs are smart enough to prohibit installing a surveillance camera that captures someone elses home. In the US, the house across the street can surveil your home 24/7, and in fact it's illegal for you to put up a fence that's high enough to block it.
