@laurelrusswurm Are you telling me to join twitter? ;)
-
@cwebber darn, didn't delete fast enough (darn... s'posed to be DM) ... Um yes. It just needs to be a mail drop
-
@cwebber People with different names here and there have dents go tweet to their Tname on T
-
This one was particularly bad b/c it was retweeted & a couple of other Tpeople were talking to your T-doppelganger (poor guy!)
-
Ah okay. Well I joined twitter I guess to try to help reduce collisions. Don't intend to use it, but: https://twitter.com/dustyweb
-
@laurelrusswurm deleting dents doesn't work w/ federation anyway, it stays on other instances. maybe @evan knows why
-
@cwebber Thanks! Did you hook up the bridge too?
-
just need to edit your profile page: Twitter is at the bottom of the left sidebar
-
I set it up to link to dustyweb there; what option do I need to turn on?
-
When I did it (couple years ago) it wasn't instantaneous
-
If you do it fast enough it doesn't show up on twitter @tekk :)
-
@laurelrusswurm yeah, stays on statusnet though, which can be annoying(tried deleting some dents b/c of typos, that's how I found out)
-
@tekk even if its quick? I've received email notifications of dents that never came to me
-
@laurelrusswurm MAYBE you might be able to get it if it hasn't been sent out yet, but I don't think it's humanly possible
-
@tekk OOps, "deleting some dents b/c of typos" - I have done that now and then - without any problems! (directly after typo!)
-
@tekk @laurelrusswurm if you want the ability to "delete" recently-sent notices, you add a transmission delay, that's h…
-
@kevingranade or add a delete command to the protocol
-
@kevingranade I'm betting that's something status net users can do; don't think it's available for !identica
-
@tekk even that isn't going to be reliable, federated instances can just ignore the request.
-
@laurelrusswurm true, identicans have the features that identi.ca gives them, which is what happens when you use someone else's service.
-
@kevingranade I don't see a major issue with that. easy enough to find out if someone isn't behaving & react accordingl…
-
@tekk true, I tend to filter solutions through a real-time/security lens, if it's not reliable it's not worth doing, bu…
-
@tekk then again, if you don't care if the deletion is reliable, what's the point?
-
@kevingranade but in your case you only have a certain window where you can delete, which could cause more problems than a tweaked instance
-
@kevingranade because I find the "unreliable" method far better to deal with than having to delete within 256 seconds o…
-
@kevingranade Yes. Maybe one day I'll have time/energy left over to join feds, but for now there's !identica ;)
-
@laurelrusswurm I'd be willing to set up a virtual server and run your instance. I could use sysadmin experience :)
-
@tekk if you want reliable deletion, it's the only option I'm aware of, for most purposes I can think of, reliability is paramount.
-
@laurelrusswurm @tekk makes a good point, single-instance and http://ur1.ca/1 aren't the only options, parlementum and …
-
@kevingranade perhaps both? after the window it warns you that it's an unreliable method and sends delete. that also pa…
-
@tekk Thanks, that's a very generous offer, but virtual tech makes me a a bit nervous, and right now is a bad time in general...
-
@tekk ...because I'm in the midst of too much flux; my capacity for learning is tapping on the wall, about to redline
-
@kevingranade the short answer is: my brain is full ...
