<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.tilde.team/ben/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>

<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>

<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>

<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>

<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>
