Identi.ca Updates for 2013-05-27

  • @evan you realize your dream of federated social networks depends a lot of people with 1 IP only VPSs, right? #
  • RT @zack RT @balleyne Very impressed with how patient @evan has been with the anxiety and questions over the http://ur1.ca/1 migration. #
  • @zack @Evan is an awesome person. I’m extremely happy to have met him IRL, it’s truly an honor! #
  • @evan I agree. There should be a better way. But even though I could setup with ipv6 none of my 3 isps support it. 🙁 #
  • @evan I also tried via openshift but it was a no go. And they have Apache on port 80 as a front end as well. 🙂 #

Identi.ca Updates for 2013-05-26

  • Installed my own pump.io instance. June 1 will be a disaster if identica turns out as unstable. I hope @Evan has lots of uncommitted code. #
  • @evan not this way, I don’t think so. #
  • @evan I’m using wheezy. npm -g install pump.io ; using redis backend. 400 bad request for login in email is requested. #
  • @evan several times, the interface just freezes. I have to press reload on the browser URL #
  • @evan some URLs are built using values stored in db so when URL changes they build bad URLs #
  • @evan then I tried from git but it was even more unstable. #
  • @evan since I used the master branch it’s not entirely unexpected but… #
  • @evan sure, I’ll be one of them in the meanwhile but crickets might be heard 😉 #
  • @evan I’m using node 0.10.5 in usr local bin, not from wheezy #
  • @evan why not build URLs from the environment variables? Wouldn’t that solve the problem? #
  • @evan it was even worse when I required email. No mail sent, logged in and super unstable. #
  • @evan sure. #
  • RT @glynmoody needless to say, #BBC news has not one iota about the 2 million people marching against #monsanto yesterday; the mega-fail … #
  • @evan I also need to run it behind Apache because I only have one IP and I can’t waste it on one site alone… #
  • @jankusanagi I don’t mind a temp. loss of functionality while new stuff gets added to pump.io, it’s the stability of what’s there I worry. #
  • @jankusanagi you really need to check my latest dents exchanged with Evan… #
  • @evan first log: trying to register for the first time, behind a reverse proxy: http://ur1.ca/e1tl8 #
  • @evan second log: http://ur1.ca/e1tq2 there are reasons to change web sites, like working around the previous issue. #
  • In retrospection, all my instability issues might be due to the impossibilty to register behind the reverse proxy and working around that. #
  • It’s possible that more URLs are using the alternative port… #
  • Expecting stability regarding “other” servers in the Internet? Really? #
  • Unfair? They’re not at http://pump.io/ if anyone has “unfair” to shout out it’s me. http://ur1.ca/d6s5g more useful info #
  • Sorry. I think it’s unfair to cite documentation that’s not in plain sight, specially when what seems to me like a design flaw is at stake. #
  • Ok, urlport might help a lot for this setup, I’ll try again from master, and report back soon. #
  • “if you’re insisting on proxying behind Apache or whatever despite warnings not to, you can use this.” unfair to people with VPS and 1 IP #
  • Seems not to work. I get an infinite http 301 redirect loop. #
  • I realize you care about an URL that doesn’t change, but you shouldn’t impose that on a design. It should be a best practice, though. #
  • That configuration definitely results in a 301 redirection loop. GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: pump.1407.org -> Location: http://pump.1407.org/ #
  • And it’s amazing to see what look like bots already trying to abuse it 🙂 #

Damned slow insurance, grrr

Last Saturday, almost a full week ago, my Google Nexus 7 touchscreen was broken in three pieces. I was able to back it up without resigning myself to a few-weeks-old backup and appealed to the insurance I did on purchase.

After giving them all information they asked for in the contract, they contact me two whole days afterwards demanding pictures and full details of the accident in order to open the process. Wait, what? If they needed that, couldn’t they put it in the contract text? Really? Was it so hard?

Ok, I send them that. Two more days pass without a reply. This is unacceptable and I wrote them in protest.

Not one hour had passed, and they came back to me with a case number and that the process had been accepted.

So now I go back to the shop and… it has to be sent to the brand (Google/Asus) in order to see how hard/expensive it is to repair and then in at most 90 days (good grief) I will get either a repaired Nexus or a new one.

Now… this is seriously hurting my workflow, I was already fully addicted to being able to do ANSOL work in almost any place, being up to date with current events, socialize and so forth.

This is really frustrating.

  • @Evan installed pump.io via npm but I can’t figure how to launch it… #
  • @ovigia isso de fixação de salários é muito ditatorial. Quase parece uma ditadura da europa de leste… #
  • RT @lxoliva ♻ @panaggio: Dream that will never come true: @google announcing on @googleio less (no more?) blobs on Android’s code base. … #
  • @ovigia e? Essa coisa do nivelar por baixo não me soa nada bem. Parece mais coisa das ditaduras da europa de leste. #
