I wrote up a quick blog post last night on how to keep a fork up to date with an upstream repo. Behold, git remote, fetch and merge! https://philna.sh/blog/2018/08/21/git-commands-to-keep-a-fork-up-to-date/ #git #github
Checking out Mastodon again. toot.cat is down, feed on mastodon.social is empty. I tried to add a picture of that as well but got a 500 Internal Server Error on the upload... https://mastodon.social/media/1J87rPsPqoVfxTFNoVQ
I was born on a full moon with nomads blood in my veins
I can grow fond of a place the urge to move still remains
you might have seen me on sandals or met me on trains
I'm that stranger in town who was gone the next day
there's no telling where I'm heading, if only I knew
but each time the sun rises the road starts anew
Wasn't sure if my programming toots were suitable for toot.cat but @polymerwitch just faved my mini-rant so that's settled then :D
Super early but mastodon.el is available on GitHub:
https://github.com/jdenen/mastodon.el
Entry functions are `mastodon-register' and `mastodon-toot'. I have not been able to send a new toot because of a scope issue, but maybe you'll have more luck.
PRs are very welcome and a README is coming soon.
Let's confuse things a bit - there is a thing called #matrix - it is a decentralized and modern alternative to whatsapp&co.

You folks choosed freedom for microblogging - let's continue with freedom in chatting.
When you design a CoC for your #Mastodon or #GNUSocial instance, remember that you want enough strictness to:
- Kick ESR off if he shows up
- Aggressively ban botters & 4chan
- Shut up the nazi-brigade when they come
- Protect your users from abusive third parties.
if anybody is interested in learning #clojure I published a primer https://yogthos.github.io/ClojureDistilled.html
there's also a nice cloud IDE, so you don't even need to install anything to get running http://nightcoders.net/
If you're interested at how Mastodon/oStatus works on the HTTP level these notes might be helpful. I only just started poking around with this so it's really the tip of the iceberg.
There are a lot of protocols and specs involved, so I figured looking at some HTTP interactions might help to clear things up.
