I recently transferred plateia.org from systemd (debian default on jessie) to sysvinit without any problems at all. I did end up copying proper sysvinit files from another box though, but even without that it worked just fine (I just like my pretty service status readouts, instead of just "UP")
runit works fine on CentOS, by the way. My linux partition is CentOS 6.8 with sysvinit replaced by runit. Works just fine. -

I was part of a DC team that helped unravel quite a few of them years ago and they were very complex combinations of various methods (also, if you think you have privacy with any ISP in Canada, they are doing the kind of deep packet inspection that would make the NSA blush). And this was years ago, its no doubt gotten more advanced since then.
Obligatory: Fuck Rogers. And Bell isn't much better. -
Maiyannah Bishop (maiyannah@plateia.org)'s status on Monday, 08-May-2017 08:12:18 UTC Maiyannah Bishop @deadsuperhero Looks like I could just take Friendica's code as long as I observe the license and adapt that into a plugin for postActiv, so it wouldn't be too hard at all - how well does Friendica federate with Diaspora though? Are there known issues? -

"if I am visiting somewhere and the machines available nearby happen to contain non-free software, through no doing of mine, I don't refuse to touch them. I will use them briefly for tasks such as browsing. This limited usage doesn't give my assent to the software's license, or make me responsible its being present in the computer, or make me the possessor of a copy of it, so I don't see an ethical obligation to refrain from this. Of course, I explain to the local people why they should migrate the machines to free software, but I don't push them hard, because annoying them is not the way to convince them."

Maiyannah Bishop (maiyannah@plateia.org)'s status on Sunday, 30-Apr-2017 02:17:58 UTC Maiyannah Bishop It was the dawn of the third age of federation, ten years after the Diaspora war. The ostatus project was a dream given form - it's goal: to give a place where people could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call, a home away from home, for shitposters, furries, developers, activists, and wanders. All wrapped together in over five hundred thirty-eight machines of silicon and steel, all alone in the internet. It can be a dangerous place, but it is our last, best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the ostatus networks. The year is 2017. The name of the place is GNU social. -

Maiyannah Bishop (maiyannah@plateia.org)'s status on Friday, 28-Apr-2017 00:39:57 UTC Maiyannah Bishop The last time we had a big fediverse schism between softwares, Diaspora turned into a semi-walled garden Mike Micgivrin has to spend ages to federate with. -

Maiyannah Bishop (maiyannah@plateia.org)'s status on Tuesday, 25-Apr-2017 11:42:12 UTC Maiyannah Bishop One thing I have noticed about one instance - pawoo or its userbase seem to be creating completely empty accounts on remote servers just to try to pull content from pawoo there, I have just deleted over a thousand accounts on HLA and Plateia which only existed to try to bring content across our server block. Be aware, fediverse admins! -
Maiyannah Bishop (maiyannah@plateia.org)'s status on Sunday, 23-Apr-2017 04:53:15 UTC Maiyannah Bishop @shel As for a more on-point comment, I always think of what Hintjens commented on this topic. It is more important to onboard contributors, find the problems with their contributions as colloborative process than a combatative one, and you make a much healthier community by being permissive and inclusion with MRs and PRs than you than by trying to gatekeep them. We all have the same goal when we work collectively on a software project: making the software better. The tribalism, the "I know best" and the treading on your contributors to ego-trip, all sabotage that goal. -
Maiyannah Bishop (maiyannah@plateia.org)'s status on Wednesday, 19-Apr-2017 08:22:47 UTC Maiyannah Bishop @clacke They don't. HLA has had several messages come across it with private scopes that have ended up public because the extras in the Magic Envelope get discarded by GS/pA -
Maiyannah Bishop (maiyannah@plateia.org)'s status on Wednesday, 19-Apr-2017 06:26:44 UTC Maiyannah Bishop @dredmorbius Furthermore, it is important to remember that the moment one of their limited-scope notices hits a GNU social or postActiv server they will become public. -
