BirdsiteLive VS hn-search

That's exactly what https://github.com/NicolasConstant/BirdsiteLive is, their purposes are distinct

Partially true. There are tools that mirror Twitter accounts into the Fediverse. In fact, you can set up such tools for yourself. I personally did that for only a few news sites. Everyone else that I care about migrated or at least crossposted to Mastodon already. You may find more people on there than you think. A lot has changed in the last months and weeks. There’s also a tool that helps you with finding your Twitter followings.

There are a bunch of people out there running theBirdsite Live software which will automatically monitor twitter accounts and post them to Mastodon. However the person that wrote the software does not think it should be used anymore.

I've come across BirdsiteLIVE, but that requires you to import one twitter account at a time. Is there a way to bulk-bridge all the accounts I follow?

I think the proxy_cache_bypass header not being present may be causing the issues as the behavior I'm seeing is described in this issue https://github.com/NicolasConstant/BirdsiteLive/issues/125 and the solution was apparently to implement proxy_cache_bypass

I did the same and am pretty happy with the end result, but be warned: the official guide requires you to install a full Ruby dev kit to run an instance, with Docker being available but poorly documented (as configuration requires running separate commands rather than just writing a file).

It's not hard, but if you're like me and you don't like polluting your server system with all kinds of dev tools in the global space, you may need somewhat of an understanding of Docker to get everything running smoothly.

One thing to note is that if you're going to be the only one using your server, you may want to enable single user mode. It's a mode for the Mastodon frontend that's optimized for deployments with a single user account.

For those considering the switch, I also recommend checking out https://github.com/NicolasConstant/BirdsiteLive and setting up an instance. With your Twitter account you can register for an API key and then mirror all the Twitter users that aren't on the Fediverse yet! It's unidirectional but as most Twitter users seem rather passive anyway, this can make the transition rather easy.

To prevent others from using your keys and quota, you can safely limit ingress to BirdSiteLive to only your Mastodon server. You end up with proxied tweets only visible to users of your server.

Some folk are setting up Birdsite Live to get access to those tweets without needing to actually use Twitter. https://github.com/NicolasConstant/BirdsiteLive

I first heard of Solarpunk from the Imaginary Worlds podcast:

Which I prompted me to post the Wikipedia link 4 years ago, several others posted similar links prior to that, and others have posted interesting links hear too:

I will deeply deeply having someone so well connected to such incredibly complex contemporary digital rights issues in a place of power. Patrick Breyer's work in advocating & sharing what's going on has been such an incredibly high form of service, has illuminated such a dark & scary part of governance, and it's hard to imagine who else in the world is going to step up & be the light in Patrick's absence.

Patrick, thank you for the many years of incredible service. Your writing online about what's happening is without peer. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=patrick%20breyer&sort=byDate

Anything this common becomes noise, since it doesn't add any new information.

Heres' another way to look at it: since the idea of HN is to be intellectually interesting (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...), repetition is the most important thing to avoid (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...).

At least as far as Hacker News is concerned, I'd call htmx way more marketed. It has hundreds of HN submissions in the past year alone [0] including one that broke 1000 points, compared to Hotwire which is sitting at about 40 submissions in the past year [1], the most popular of which is this one.

Authorities compel tech companies to hand over data and place backdoors. They typically abuse secrecy laws to avoid public backlash, but their public demands have gotten bolder since the Snowden disclosures.

They even also do it without the companies' knowledge too.

This is some droll trash. And it's being reposted every couple hours. Frag this. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=The%20End%20of%20Software
