[01:05] <jrgifford> skellat: ok, lets try to run pump.io for $250.
[01:05] <skellat> Hunh?
[01:05] <skellat> Oh
[01:05] <skellat> Sorry
[01:05]  * paultag registered earlier today
[01:05] <jrgifford> paultag: heh
[01:06] <skellat> I was in the middle of fussing over xubuntu-docs again to close out the last bug so as to then pester knome to upload a rebuilt package in time for beta freeze
[01:06] <jrgifford> cool!
[01:06] <skellat> paultag: You'll have a pump.io based account already once Identica transitions over since you've got an active account there
[01:06] <jrgifford> but if they think they can run pump.io for $500, then i think i can run it for $250.
[01:06] <paultag> neat :)
[01:06] <paultag> I wonder how it'll merge
[01:06] <paultag> since I have paultag on both
[01:07]  * paultag hopes he broke
[01:07] <paultag> it
[01:07] <skellat> paultag: You might have
[01:07] <skellat> paultag: Oh, wait.  The domain names matter.  Do you have paultag on two separate domains now?
[01:07] <skellat> One other than Identica, that is
[01:07] <paultag> nack
[01:07] <paultag> I was thinking of setting up a status.net for debian
[01:08] <skellat> Go for it
[01:08] <skellat> FSF set up a StatusNet for themselves
[01:08] <skellat> Heck, there's even a JuJu charm for deploying such things
[01:08] <paultag> aye!
[01:08] <paultag> (I'm friends with the FSFpeople, I remember when they did it :) )
[01:10] <skellat> Well, that could prove interesting
[01:10] <skellat> I'm still trying to wrap my head around the pump.io concept
[01:11] <jrgifford> https://github.com/hotsh/rstat.us/issues/755 | well, we'll see if the rstat.us peoples have anything to add.
[01:11] <Unit193> Maybe I should look this thing up. :P
[01:12] <skellat> Essentially pump.io at the core is a transport layer to be built on top of
[01:12] <skellat> I think
[01:13] <skellat> Kinda like XMPP on steroids but more focused on social things instead of instant messaging
[01:13] <jrgifford> basically.
[01:13] <jrgifford> like tent.is
[01:14] <jrgifford> er, https://tent.io/
[01:14] <jrgifford> just like we had the kentucky cave wars a long time ago, we now have the distributed social network and file sharing wars.
[01:18] <skellat> Competition can be good
[01:19] <skellat> Federation is even better
[01:19] <jrgifford> the competition is which protocol they'll find
[01:19] <jrgifford> which is the best?
[01:21] <skellat> Well, as a visit to a local library showed me once again today, I'm not exactly within the mainstream of opinion...
[01:21] <skellat> Besides, my client for Twitter and Identica is TTYtter...
[01:22] <jrgifford> what, lots of twitter + facebook + windows?
[01:25] <skellat> No Windows, no Facebook on my end
[01:25] <skellat> Plenty of Xfce, though
[01:26] <jrgifford> no, at the library?
[01:27] <skellat> Generally that's what you'd see at a library
