Last night, in response to the Israeli military attacking the Sumud flotilla attempting to deliver aid to starving people in besieged Gaza, 10,000 protesters marched through the streets of Rome.
Another solidarity flotilla is on the way to Gaza right now, defying the blockade.
A general strike will take place in Italy tomorrow in solidarity with the people of Gaza.
Stop the genocide. Abolish the fascist ethnostate that is perpetrating it. Free Palestine.

SAAQclic: French added “complexity,” according to a former IBM manager
Language was “a major challenge” in the development of the SAAQclic platform, as much of the work was carried out in India, according to a former IBM manager.Adriana Gentile (CityNews Montreal)
The very tl;dr: the private contractor for the Government (IBM) is telling that they had to outsource the development off-shore and that the barrier was the Government of Québec usage of French for all the specifications and such.
I have an idea. Why isn't this done here?
It's never about the language, its about finger pointing. This is not the first motor vehicle software failure. If you think it's about Quebec, it's happened twice in California as recently as 10 years ago.

Nejzajímavější mi přijde inventura hlasování, protože je o reálných hlasováních, a ne o proklamacích do budoucna, které mohou, ale nemusí být naplněny. #volby2025

1. Do not use one of those Site Builders to build your site. They are Ala Carte and by the time you're done you're paying more than you would for my services (and I'm bloody expensive). Get a real web person (not me) to do your site, and an actual Internet Engineer to do your business infrastructure like DNS and EMail (that's me).
2. I'm specifically looking at Wix, I've been doing BIND for some 30+ years, this "DNS" is a pile of flaming dog shit.
3, Don't listen to "your friend".

We don't need to know Everything, just need to know where to look it up. And I have some of the important things bound in (*gasp*) Dead Tree if I really need it.

Anyone using YLight Music?
apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.y…
it's a client for Youtube Music, but was last updated 2020. Still shows about 15 installs (downloads by F-Droid clients) per month here. We wonder if it still works, so we shall keep it – or not, and it should be removed. Feedback appreciated!

@devilonger 👀
Well, guess there are easier ways to open chrome… Let's see if it was "just you". But I guess this means "no need to keep" (unless opposing reports come in). Thanks!
@devilonger Which didn't even work for me (just tried it in a browser). OK, guess we remove it then (also, there are alternatives available, see e.g. android.izzysoft.de/catmin/app…
Thanks once more!
Hey folks, If you’re developing an #XMPP server or server-side component, I’d love for you to check out the XMPP Interop Framework (xmpp-interop-testing.github.io). It’s an open-source test suite that runs your implementation through real-world XEP compliance checks.
The project supports a wide range of continuous integration solutions, offers flexible configuration options, and has matured nicely over the past two years. (1/2)

And yes, I updated LibreOffice.
Another curious #ActivityPub / #MastodonAPI issue.
A Mastodon server is sending me a DELETE message.
The delete is because a user has been deleted.
My server tries to validate the HTTP Signature.
My server looks up the deleted user's main-key.
The user has been deleted so the public key 404s.
My server never acknowledges the delete, so the other server keeps sending me the same request.
So… How do I validate the signature of a deleted user?
As I'm sipping my coffee here I notice a weird link at the bottom of Immich's site: "Cursed Knowledge"
This is incredible. It's like Hall of Fame bugs they encountered. More projects should do this.

You probably have some kind of client side restriction. I wish we didn't have to resort to using this, but we were dying under abusive crawler onslaught.
