You are 30 miles deep in frozen forest on a Soviet dam access road. After struggling to drive you realize you can't make it back before nightfall. You find a metal object melting all the snow around it in a 1 meter radius. It is painfully hot, you cannot even hold it in your bare hands.
You and your friends decide to use it to keep warm.

I interviewed Michelle Yeoh a few years ago about #StarTrekDiscovery and I mentioned offhand that I'd written an article about what seeing her use her accent on the bridge of a starship meant to me.
She stopped and said "Wait, that was YOU?"
And then proceeded to talk about how much that article had meant to HER and how it contributed to the success of the show.
I can't think about it without crying.

[EN] #NoFingerprintIDs
Digitalcourage is contesting a European regulation that made it mandatory in all of the EU to have fingerprints stored on our ID cards. We believe it is a disproportionate infringement on our civil rights. It treats every EU citizen like a potential criminal and endangers the security of our biometric data.
Find out more about our case against mandatory fingerprints for identity cards, how the hearing at the Court of Justice of the European Union went and why it made us optimistic:

gserver занимает у меня уже почти 10Gb, на эту таблицу есть внешние ключи у таблицы apcontact в RESTRICT. Сначала я хотел удалить записи с мёртвыми серверами в таблице gserver, когда не знал, что на неё ссылаются другие... Когда понял, что просто взять и удалить говённые сервера у меня не выйдет, полез в таблицу apcontact но не нашёл там ни одной записи с мёртвыми серверами. Ну и крч, как избавиться от записей в БД, типа %.activitypub-troll.cf, %.gab.best, пустых записей и прочего говна?
@Руслан Местный @Rоссийская🐻Fедерация Hi, this is a known issue we've been having. The first step in remediation is to update your node to version 2023.01 at least. Then add two entries in your server pattern block list from the console like this:
bin/console serverblock add "*.activitypub-troll.cf" "Spam"
bin/console serverblock add "*.gab.best" "Spam"Then you can run the following SQL queries to clean up your database:
DELETE FROM `gserver` WHERE `nurl` LIKE '%.activitypub-troll.cf' OR `nurl` LIKE '%.gab.best'
gserver. Каждые десять минут удаляю их оттуда, процессор горит, использование оперативы ограничил, сижу и плачу. Как-то блок лист неправильно работает, что ли… Таблица apcontact тоже выросла, но там, как я понял, контакты ActivityPub. Есть что почитать конкретно про базу данных, а лучше про таблицы упомянутые ранее и блоклист? Спасибо.

You're looking at the #Audacity project for Episode 1 of Thunder⚡Cast, our new monthly podcast.
We recorded it on Friday, and it's being edited into shape this week. Expect it before the end of the month. We'll share the RSS feed when it goes live.

@Malik @ultraschall I was about to say something similar, except I was about to recommend Ardour (ardour.org), not because it's necessarily great for podcasting, but because that's what I know.
But Audacity for serious multi-track audio editing? Brrrr, no thanks.
@sten @ultraschall Things have evolved since 2004 (!) — so has email and so have podcasts. Chapter marks, chapter images, automatic sound quality enhancements …
Feel free to check it out at some point. 🤓
The open source team has worked hard for many years to make it extra nice for podcasters. It’s the best suite out there — incl. the free 1-click live broadcast feature.
That stuff is all baked in? That's impressive. We'll give it an earnest look, thanks for the extra nudge.
EDIT: No Linux version? 💔
@sten @ultraschall I am not sure why there is no official Linux download on the page right away, but the team will be able to tell you.
I’m only the designer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you know the address of an account on the Fediverse, you can make it appear within your own server so you can follow and interact with it:
1. Copy and paste the address into the search box on your server
2. A link to the account's profile will appear, click on it to interact
This works with all kinds of Fediverse addresses including Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, BookWyrm, Friendica, OwnCast etc.
This also works with a profile page's web address.

I received an interesting email this morning which prompted me to write a blog post about how Stoutner will never sell Privacy Browser to a scummy company.
So I was just scrolling through some playlists of popular music from previous years on Spotify and stumbled across the Crazy Frog version of Axel F, which at one point in time I might have listened to more times than it was probably healthy to. So I immediately noticed that something was very off about the infamous intro sounds, which were altered a bit and now that I heard it the song sounds very wrong and I don't think I'll be able to unhear it.
This probably happened at the same time as they decided to make some new Crazy Frog content because Ticktock, and as part of this the original Axel F video was replaced with a new 4K version that also includes this new audio while also removing CF"s infamous testicles. I don't get why they changed the audio in the song - I don't think they lost the rights to the original voice clips since most of them are still there, did they need to make the audio match better with some change to the animation? But what bothers me even more is how they were able to just replace both the song and video in place such that the original is much harder to find (or in the case of Spotify flat out impossible). So yeah, definitely archive the stuff that you like, because you never know what might happen to it.
Original unedited version:

And one last fun fact, someone else apparently noticed this too and made a petition for Spotify to change the song back, which currently has a wapping 98 signatures. There's your dose of random thoughts before I go to bed.
