default branch name
</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>changing git's default branch name has come up recently as an easy action
we can take to update our language and remove harmful ideas from our daily
usage.</p>

<p>i'm concerned that this effort to change the language used is ultimately a
symbolic gesture to avoid scrutiny into actual change (notably github's
push for this change and continued contracts with ICE).</p>

<p>however, it's an easy change to make.</p>

<p>let's have a look at how to change it for new repos:</p>

<pre><code>mkdir -p ~/.config/git/template
echo "ref: refs/head/main" ~/.config/git/template/HEAD
git config --global init.templateDir ~/.config/git/template
</code></pre>

<p>note that you can put this template dir anywhere you like.</p>

<p>you can also set this system-wide (not just for your user)
in /usr/share, but note that this might get overriden by
package updates.</p>

<pre><code>echo "ref: refs/head/main" | sudo tee /usr/share/git-core/templates/HEAD
</code></pre>

<p>the next time you <code>git init</code>, you'll be on a branch named main.</p>

<p>to change an existing repo, you can use the <code>-m</code> switch of <code>git-branch</code>:</p>

<pre><code>git checkout master
git branch -m master main
</code></pre>

<p>push with <code>-u</code> to your remote if needed and update the default branch in the
repo settings in the hosting platform of choice.</p>

<p>it's a relatively easy change, but don't kid yourself that it makes any real
impact. go protest, <a href="
https://blacklivesmatter.carrd.co/">donate and sign petitions</a>, and get out there to fix the actual problems.</p>

general update
</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>it's been quite a long time since i posted anything here on this blog.</p>

<p>i've been playing with <a href="https://github.com/xe/gruvbox-css">gruvbox-css</a>,
decided to switch my blog to use it and finally realized it's been almost
a year since i posted anything at all.</p>

<p>i don't have anything in particular to post today so i figured it would
be good to give a general update since the last time i posted.</p>

proactive redundancy
</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>after the <a href="november-13-post-mortem.html">fiasco</a> earlier this week, i've been taking steps to minimize
the impact if tilde.team were to go down. it's still a large spof (single-point-of-failure), but i'm reasonably certain that at least the irc net will remain up and functional in the event of another outage. </p>

november 13 post mortem
</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>we had something of an outage on november 13, 2018 on tilde.team. </p>

<p>i awoke, not suspecting anything to be amiss. as soon as i logged in to check my email and irc mentions, it became clear.</p>

<p>tilde.team was at the least inaccessible, and at the worst, down completely. according the message in my inbox, there hade been an attempted "attack" from my IP.</p>

<p>i just got back from a 10-day backpacking trip to italy and i'd like to share some of the photos i took!</p>

<p>the travel plan was rome -> venice -> florence -> naples -> pompei/vesuvius -> capri -> amalfi</p>

utterances
</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>i somehow stumbled upon <a href="https://utteranc.es">utterances</a> today at lunch. (i think someone had it forked on their github page).</p>

<p>no matter how i found it, i still decided to add it to my blog here with <a href="https://tildegit.org/team/bashblog">bashblog</a>. utterances is a commenting system that leverages github issues. so, for example a comment on <a href="https://tilde.team/~ben/blog/upsides-of-new-dns-nameservers.html">a post</a> shows up on github <a href="https://github.com/benharri/tilde/issues/1#issuecomment-418732788">like this</a>.</p>

<p>now we just need to figure out if it can be pointed at a gitea instance like <a href="https://tildegit.org">tildegit</a>. might be time for a PR!</p>

no more google
</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>not sure if this is appropriately tagged, but i didn't feel like making a new
one.</p>

<p>i figured i should probably get some notes down about moving off google.</p>

<p>to start, i'll get a list of the things i was able to easily replace:</p>

<ul>
<li>gmail => <a href="https://tilde.team/wiki/?page=email">@tilde.team mail</a></li>
<li>google drive => <a href="https://syncthing.net">syncthing</a> (with a persistent node running on my personal vps)</li>
</ul>

<p>i'm still using:</p>

<ul>
<li>gplay music/youtube</li>
<li>google maps (open streetmap isn't good enough to replace it)</li>
<li>google photos - but this is going to be replaced long-term with syncthing</li>
</ul>

dns shenanigans post-mortem
</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>let's start by saying i probably should have done a bit more research before
diving head-first into this endeavor.</p>

<p>i've been thinking about transferring my domains off google domains for some
time now, as part of my personal goal to self host and limit my dependence on
google and other large third-party monstrosities. along that line, i asked for
registrar recommendations. <a href="https://tomasino.tilde.team">~tomasino</a> responded
with <a href="https://namesilo.com">namesilo</a>. i found that they had $3.99 registrations
for .team and .zone domains, which is 1/10th the cost of the $40 registration
on google domains.</p>

<p>i started out by getting the list of domains from the google console. 2 or 3
of them had been registered within the last 60 days, so i wasn't able to
transfer those just yet. i grabbed all the domain unlock codes and dropped
them into namesilo. i failed to realize that the dns panel on google domains
would disappear as soon as it went through, but more importantly that the
nameservers would be left pointing to the old defunct google domains ones.</p>

<p>i updated the nameservers as soon as i realized this error from the namesilo
panel. some of the domains propagated quickly. others, not so much. tilde.team
was still in a state of flux between the old and new nameservers.</p>

<p>in a rush to get the dns problem fixed, and under recommendation from several
people on irc, i decided to switch the nameservers for tilde.team and tilde.zone
to cloudflare, leaving another layer of flux for the dns to be stuck in...</p>

<p>of the five domains that i moved to cloudflare, 3 returned with a dnssec error,
claiming that i needed to remove the DS record from that zone. d'oh!</p>

<p>i removed the dnssec from those affected domains, so we should be good to go
as soon as it all propagates through the fickle beast that is dns.</p>

lxd networking and additional IPs
</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>now that tilde.team is on a fancy-shmancy new dedi server, i've tried to get a secondary IP address
assigned to a lxd container (which i plan to use for my personal stuff). lxd shows that the secondary
IP is being picked up by that container, but i'm still seeing the host machine's IP as the external
address.</p>

<p>i'm not sure how i'll need to configure the network settings on the host machine (now that we're running
ubuntu 18.04 and it uses netplan for configs and not /etc/network/interfaces). another confusing thing is
that the main config in /etc/netplan says that the network config is handled by systemd-networkd...</p>

<p>at least i have through the end of the year when my current vps runs out to get this up and running.</p>

<p>ping me on <a href="https://tilde.chat">irc</a> or <a href="mailto:ben@tilde.team">email</a> if you have experience with this.</p>

tilde.team news
</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>hey hi hello!</p>

<p>it seems that i haven't written anything on my blog in quite a while...</p>

<p>time to fix that! i've been quite busy in the last month or so with a lot of new ideas an energy for tilde.team.</p>

<p>after rediscovering my account on tilde.town, i hopped in the irc there and my enthusiasm translated into a couple new members over here on the ~team.</p>

<p>our irc has been somewhat more active recently which is awesome:)</p>

<p>some of the new updates in the last month:</p>

<ul>
<li><a href="https://git.tilde.team">tildegit (our own gitea instance)</a></li>
<li><a href="https://mail.tilde.team">tildemail</a> with postfix and dovecot for smtp/imap as well as local command line mail in mutt and alpine</li>
<li><a href="https://git.tildeverse.org/team/tilde-launcher"><code>tilde</code></a> user script wrapper with submission and approval flows</li>
<li><a href="https://tilde.team/wiki/?page=ssh">password auth disabled</a></li>
</ul>

<p>i'd like to make use of our new mailserver, so shoot me some <a href="mailto:ben@tilde.team">mail</a>.
i never get enough personal mail. it's all still privacy policy update notices. :(</p>

<p>see you soon!</p>

white pride vs black pride
</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>What White Nationalists Don't Get</p>

<p>A common and seemingly reasonable argument for white pride or white nationalism is: why cant I be proud of my culture?</p>

<p>Well, you can. Always have been able to. We have Irish pride celebrations, we have German drinking festivals, we have Serbian food festivals. Any European culture you can think of has multiple organizations in North America dedicated to taking pride in their heritage and NO ONE gives them shit for it.</p>

<p>But, you see, when you start talking white pride, that's not a culture. That's a skin color. There is no white culture, never was. There is no pan-European culture, never was. Europe is a continent, not a culture or ethnicity.</p>

<p>Now, some of you are probably about to go, but wait! Black pride! How is that okay? Well, easy. Go find a black person and ask them if their ancestors were slaves. When you find one who says yes, proceed to ask them what country in Africa were your ancestors from? Do you know what their answer will probably be? I don't know. This is because their culture was taken from them. It was beaten out of them. They were enslaved, Christianized, and then white washed. The one unifying feature they have as a people is that history of slavery and that history of being black. They cant have Liberian pride, or Congolese pride, or insert African country pride because they have no fucking idea where their ancestors came from other than the broad region of West Africa.</p>

<p>Meanwhile us white people can often trace our ancestors to specific cities and regions. I can trace my mothers maiden name to a single fucking village in Ireland. I know where I came from. I don't have white culture, I have Irish culture.</p>

<p>So that's why white pride makes you an asshole but black pride actually makes sense.</p>

</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>inspired by <a href="http://oods.net">oodsnet</a>, (and my pull request to add <a href="https://github.com/exezin/oodsnet/pull/5">darkmode</a>), 
i started to create my own tilde.team fork (now <a href="https://forum.tilde.team/">forum.tilde.team</a>).</p>

<p>the first step was to switch out the css to the <a href="https://tilde.team/css/">tilde.team standard</a> and update the classes for bootstrap.
once i got it going and integrated with the tilde.team linux auth service, i asked other tildeans for input and suggestions.</p>

<p><a href="/~micaiah/">~micaiah</a> was interested in helping, but also wanted to learn a new language and/or framework, so we decided to start over,
recreating the entire forum with <a href="http://phoenixframework.org">elixir/phoenix</a>. we'd discussed elixir previously, but never had a 
convincing use case to force us to learn it.</p>

<p>the project is live, with the source code on <a href="https://github.com/tilde-team/forum">github</a>.</p>

<p>the thing that i'm most impressed with is the speed of the erlang runtime :D</p>

<p>check out these response times. sub-millisecond!?!?!</p>

<p><img src="https://bhh.sh/pub/photos/phx.png" alt="" title="" /></p>

<p>give it a look, and <a href="https://tilde.team/signup">join the tilde.team</a> if you want to come hang out!</p>

webassembly
</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>according to <a href="https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/01/making-webassembly-even-faster-firefoxs-new-streaming-and-tiering-compiler/">this post</a> on the mozilla blog, 
we will be able to compile wasm as it streams into the browser in much the same way that images are decoded. this is a huge game changer from the current paradigm
of loading javascript completely before being able to parse and compile it. </p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">JavaScript code is much more expensive, byte for byte, than an image, because of the time spent parsing and compiling it.<br><br>It&#39;s possible to parse and compile wasm as fast as it comes over the network, which makes it much more like an image than JavaScript code.<br><br>Game changer!</p>&mdash; Yehuda Katz (@wycats) <a href="https://twitter.com/wycats/status/942908325775077376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 19, 2017</a></blockquote>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>this will make <a href="https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/UseCases.md">so many things</a> possible in the browser that never were before!</p>

<p>i decided to follow this <a href="http://webassembly.org/getting-started/developers-guide/">tutorial</a> and ended up with <a href="https://tilde.team/~ben/wasm/hello.html">this</a>.</p>

<p>i don't know what to do next. any ideas?</p>

git remotes with ssh aliases
</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>did you know that <code>~/.ssh/config</code> aliases work for git remotes??</p>

<p>~/.ssh/config</p>

<pre>
Host gh
HostName github.com
User git
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/gh_key
</pre>

<p>you can now use <code>gh:username/repo</code> as the remote in place of <code>git@github.com:username/repo</code>, which is much shorter and easier to type many times!</p>

<p><code>git clone gh:benharri/learngit</code></p>

<p>there are many other use cases for the <code>ssh_config</code> file. for example, here is my config for the tilde machine for easy ssh connections.</p>

<pre>
Host tilde
HostName tilde.team
User ben
</pre>

<p>then use <code>ssh tilde</code> to start a new ssh session. this also works with <code>scp</code>: try something like this <code>scp file.txt tilde:workspace/.</code> in place of <code>scp file.txt ben@tilde.team:workspace/.</code></p>

<p>the ssh_config file is super useful. check <code>man ssh_config</code> for a full list of options!</p>

net neutrality vote today
</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>Everybody! We only have UNTIL TOMORROW to fight the FCC &amp; the repeal of #NetNeutrality! Repealing Net Nutrality would result in an unequal access to online content including research, social/political organizing, and personal media. It would also allow powerhouse companies providing internet to charge more for regular quality internet, and charge certain users more than others.
HERE'S A WAY TO ACT - takes less than a minute.</p>

<ol>
<li>Go to <a href="http://gofccyourself.com">gofccyourself.com</a>
(the shortcut John Oliver made to the hard-to-find FCC comment page)</li>
<li>Click on the 17-108 link (Restoring Internet Freedom)</li>
<li>Click on "express"</li>
<li>Be sure to hit "ENTER" after you put in your name &amp; info so it registers.</li>
<li>In the comment section write, "I strongly support net neutrality backed by Title 2 oversight of ISPs."</li>
<li>Click to submit, done. - Make sure you hit submit at the end!</li>
</ol>

<p><strong>Copy and paste this into your own status update!</strong>
Seriously, this is simple and so important. Do it.</p>

<p>short's brewery released another batch of their pan galactic gargle blaster imperial IPA. i had one last night and was very excited to have it once again.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>“The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy also mentions alcohol. It says that the best drink in existence is the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster, the effect of which is like having your brains smashed out with a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick.”</p>

Nonsense
</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn’t take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It’s clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother’s mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.</p>

Christian Morgenstern – “verkehrte Welt”
</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>Dunkel war’s der Mond schien helle,
Schnee bedeckt die grüne Flur
als ein Auto blitzeschnelle,
langsam um die Ecke fuhr.</p>

<p>Drinnen saßen stehend Leute,
schweigend ins Gespräch vertieft,
als ein totgeschossner Hase,
auf der Sandbank Schlittschuh lief.</p>

<p>Und der Wagen fuhr im Trabe,
rückwärts einen Berg hinauf.
Droben zog ein alter Rabe
grade eine Turmuhr auf.</p>

<p>Ringsumher herrscht tiefes schweigen
und mit fürchterlichem Krach,
spielen in des Grases Zweigen
zwei Kamele lautlos Schach.</p>

<p>Und auf einer roten Parkbank,
die blau angestrichen war,
saß ein blondgelockter Jüngling
mit kohlrabenschwarzem Haar.</p>

<p>Neben ihm ne alte Schrulle,
zählte kaum erst 16 Jahr,
In der Hand ne’ Butterstulle,
die mit Schmalz bestrichen war.</p>

<p>Droben auf dem Apfelbaume,
der sehr süße Birnen trug,
hing des Frühlings letzte Pflaume
und an Nüssen noch genug.</p>

<p>Von der regennassen Straße
wirbelte der Staub empor
und der Junge bei der Hitze
mächtig an den Ohren fror.</p>

<p>Beide Hände in den Taschen
hielt er sich die Augen zu.
Denn er konnte nicht ertragen,
wie nach Veilchen roch die Kuh.</p>

<p>Holder Engel, süßer Bengel,
furchtbar liebes Trampeltier.
Du hast Augen wie Sardellen,
alle Ochsen gleichen Dir.</p>

<p>Und zwei Fische liefen munter,
durch das Blaue Kornfeld hin.
Endlich ging die Sonne unter
und der graue Tag erschien.</p>

<p>Und das alles dichtet Goethe
Als er in der Morgenröte
Liegend auf dem Nachttopf saß
Und dabei die Zeitung las.</p>

4k gaming with a gtx1080ti
</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>i recently picked up a gtx1080ti on newegg (and a 4k monitor earlier in the summer on prime day). i can't stop playing the witcher 3. even though it's a couple years old, it just looks so good. plus, the story and gameplay are incredible as well. i find myself dreaming about the game and longing to play it when i'm not. i'll have to say it is definitively the best game i've ever played.</p>

<p>some of the other games that i'm looking forward to exploring more of in 4k are: </p>

<ul>
<li>destiny 2</li>
<li>prey</li>
<li>overwatch (not that this will look insanely good, it will just be super silky smooth)</li>
<li>fallout 4</li>
<li>battlefield 1</li>
<li>dishonored</li>
<li>dishonored 2</li>
<li>dying light</li>
<li>battlefront</li>
<li>pubg</li>
<li>doom (2016)</li>
<li>gta5</li>
<li>just cause 3</li>
<li>hellblade: senua's sacrifice</li>
<li>watch dogs 2</li>
<li>many others</li>
</ul>
