I'm the administrator of this server. https://tinysubversions.com is where most of my stuff lives. I make Hometown along with a bunch of other fediverse software (see pinned posts). I'm trying to fix the internet, and some people say I'm at least kind of succeeding. Based in Portland, Oregon, USA. he/him Website: https://tinysubversions.com Podcast 1: https://explainjojo.com Podcast 2: https://toomuchnotenough.site Working on the internet at: https://asml.cyber.harvard.edu
Me: Fine. I'll sign up to use a passkey to log in to this particular service. So many people tell me passkeys are the obvious thing to do now. Maybe the experience has gotten better in the last few years since I tried. [Signs up on desktop with 1password] Service, a week later, on their mobile website: Please sign in with your passkey. Me: [presses button] Service: We couldn't find a passkey in your mobile web browser. Me: Uhhh it's in my 1password app vault? Service: lol what's that
My favorite thing on Bluesky is a labeler made by the Social Technologies Lab at Cornell Tech.

 It surfaces metadata on posts. Most useful to me is "This person posted more than 50 times yesterday." It recasts a post like the one pictured. It reminds me to look at their profile and figure out if they are a real person, and are they terminally online, or engagement farming, or what. Then I might block/mute because I don't need people like that in my lifeworld. image
Seeking advice. I have many services that require cert renewal for HTTPS. My usual workflow for nginx is: 1) set up a cron job to call certbot monthly (strictly more often than needed for a 90 day cert but I'm lazy) 2) 91 days later, re-cert fails, realize that there was a bug in my script, fix it 3) 91 days later, re-cert fails, realize there was a bug in my script, fix it 4) at this point it probably now works forever Is there a good way to test things properly so I skip steps 2 and 3??
