Ngl I did not think about that at all. There are loads of sites with social in the name, like the flagship mastodon instance.

It seems kinda silly to stop using social as in the name for social websites because of them.

Like the other US gov accounts that are on Bluesky, it sucks that they’re their and get verified, but Bluesky is a US based company. If they refused to verify or outright banned those accounts, I think its really likely they’d face legal threats from the Trump regime, similar to CBS. I dont think those threats would be valid, but that lately our courts do not care.

ICE is already the third most blocked account, with nearly 100k blocks and only 330 followers, the majority of which seem to be following so they can ratio them in the replies whenever they decide to post. I think this kinda supports my point that federating with Bluesky is definitely not going to be flooding us with pro ICE users.

Thanks to moderation lists they were blocked by a massive amount of users they even knew they had made an account, essentially leaving them with just a void to post into.

I can’t find any evidence of that at all, but even if it is true, that still wouldn’t mean federating Bluesky has anything to do with a high demand to talk with ICE supporters.

What? Do you actually think Bluesky is full of ICE supporters? Most of my feed right now is full of support for protests against ICE, calls for it to be abolished, and hate towards democrat reps that are too cowardly to commit to abolishing it.

I just searched ICE and clicked top, the first two posts are some ICE Nazis busting ass on actual ice, and the third is just a post that says abolish ICE. The rest are all pretty similar.

I love Nushell, it’s so much more pleasant for writing scripts IMO. I know some people say they’d just use Python if they need more than what a POSIX shell offers, but I think Nushell is a perfect option in between.

With a Nushell scripts you get types, structured data, and useful commands for working with them, while still being able to easily execute and pipe external commands. I’ve only ever had two very minor gripes with Nushell, the inability to detach a process, and the lack of a -l flag for cp. Now that uutils supports the -l flag, Nushell support is a WIP, and I realized systemd-run is a better option than just detaching processes when SSHd into a server.

I know another criticism is that it doesn’t work well with external cli tools, but I’ve honestly never had an issue with any. A ton of CLI tools support JSON output, which can be piped into from json to make working with it in Nushell very easy. Simpler tools often just output a basic table, which can be piped into detect columns to automatically turn it into a Nushell table. Sometimes strange formatting will make this a little weird, but fixing that formatting with some string manipulation (which Nushell also makes very easy) is usually still easier than trying to parse it in Bash.

If your goal is simply having a backup then Immich is probably overkill. Why not just use something like Syncthing?
