I never thought about this before for some reason, but babies dream in the womb. They have REM sleep, so presumably have dreams based on their limited experience.

What was my first ever dream like? If I could experience it now would it be the most peaceful experience, or possibly terrifying to a grown adult?

Petite annonce sympa : J'ai été invité à participer aux Rencontres Hivernales du Libre qui se dérouleront fin janvier à Saint-Cergue, en Suisse.

J'y donnerai une conférence de 1h à propos de XMPP, dont voici le titre et la description :

« XMPP ou comment ne pas réinventer la roue : Messagerie fédérée et sécurisée en 2026 »

-----
« Oh non ! La messagerie instantanée que j'utilise vient de se faire racheter par un Venture Capital… C'est la 3eme en 5 ans ! »

Et si au lieu de sauter de produit en produit tous les 2 ans, on utilisait plutôt un protocole fiable, standardisé, qui fonctionne depuis 25 ans et qui fonctionnera encore pendant les 25 prochains sans pouvoir se faire racheter ?

Cette conférence a pour but de présenter XMPP et plus particulièrement ses évolutions ces 5 dernières années : Clients modernes, chiffrement de bout en bout, salons de discussion mais aussi les collectifs et communautés qui le font exister. Venez découvrir la messagerie instantanée que vous n'aurez pas besoin de quitter d'ici 5 ans !

D'ailleurs, si vous connaissez ou avez entendu parler de XMPP, je vous invite à lire le post juste sous celui-ci ↓

Ježíšek? V podstatě nuda. V Katalánsku mají "kakací poleno" (Tio de Nadal).

Domů se poleno přinese po 8. prosinci (den Neposkvrněného početí Panny Marie), nazdobí se a přikryje se dekou. Do Vánoc musí děti poleno „krmit“ zbytky jídla a ovocem, aby si tak zajistily dostatečný přísun dárků. Na Štědrý večer nebo Boží Hod pak do polena tlučou klacky a zpívají speciální písně „cagatío“, které mají donutit Tía vykálet dárky pod deku (kam je podstrčí rodiče).

Dárky jsou obecně menší věci, např. sladkosti (turrón), ořechy, sušené fíky a drobnější dárky. Větší a hodnotnější dárky jsou, tak jako v celém Španělsku, přinášeny až 6. ledna Třemi králi.

#Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A tiny human (2?) is hugging Dad around the neck.
But wait!
He's not a tiny human!
He's a BIG SHARK!
And he's gonna eat Dad's face!
Making mighty munching "UM UM UM" noises as laughter bubbles up from Dad's tummy.

A woman (40s?) is standing by her open car door. Groceries loosely placed on her back seat.
A tray of fresh strawberries in her hand.
She's got to get her market veges home but first...
maybe she should eat some of these strawberries.
A small smile as she tries her first one.

A teen (13?) has been given the task of carrying a bunch of asparagus while Mum chooses tomatoes.
But wait.
This is not asparagus!
It's a microphone for broadcasting all of Mum's movements and motivations!
Wearing a devilishly cheeky smile.
Ducking Mum's swat with a laugh and a yelp.

A man (50s?) in a faded band T-shirt, paint-flecked shorts and boots is quickly striding through the markets while wearing a determined expression.
He's got multiple packets of bratwurst sausages in his arms.
He's got places to go and things to do.
And they most likely involve barbeque.

A woman (18?), the spitting image of a young Joni Mitchell is inspecting a cherry stall.
Long blonde hair, a white crochet top, flair jeans and bare feet.
She picks up a bag of cherries and looks at it thoughtfully before turning to grin at a nearby busker who grins back.

(Continued below)

With DeltaChat the message "Establishing guaranteed end-to-end encryption, please wait" happens because the other end has to accept my chat?

RE: mastodon.social/@Tutanota/1157…

I am 100% likely to recommend @Tutanota as a Gmail replacement. VERY happy with the service. If you're ready to #deGoogle #unGoogle or say #ByeGoogle, this is an excellent and impactful place to start.

Advertising that speaks volumes by anonymous artist network, Brandalism. 👏🏼

Check out the other advertising sites that were hacked in London: huckmag.com/article/london-adv…

On this day, two years ago, we published the first chatmail relay, delta.chat/en/2023-12-13-chatm… along with templates to replicate the setup, without needing any permission. Two weeks ago we thought there are 60 relays when a hacker handed in a 100+ list 😂
A bunch of knowledgeable folks are now maintaining track of health of the evolving global network, and supporting new operators. 💜💥🖤

thx also for all the support here on the fediverse! its been a wild year and #39c3 is in 13 days to top it off 😅

#metalvsukni den 27 - Básnířka Chaosu a Revoluce: Otep Shamaya

Otep Shamaya není jen zpěvačka, je to živelná pohroma a jedna z nejprovokativnějších postav amerického nu-metalu.

Gut beobachtet. Allerdings nur ein ganz kleiner exemplarischer Ausschnitt des Gesamtbildes der Entwicklung.

Man wäre gut beraten, auf allen Ebenen der Politik auf die Ränder zu schauen. Sie sind mitunter die Vorboten dessen, was sich Jahre später in den Zentren zeigt:

otz.de/lokales/saalfeld-rudols…
#Osten #Politik #Strukturentwicklung #fehlendeBildungsangebote #Abwanderung #ÖPNV #Kultur uvm.

Ausschnitte der Wirklichkeit - eine Kolumne aus Saalfeld-Rudolstadt

Ein blauer Trabant 500, besetzt mit zwei Uniformierten, pendelte zum Jahrestag der Grenzöffnung zwischen Grenze und Kulturhaus in Lehesten. Nostalgie ersetzt Geschichte.

^{Thomas Spanier (Ostthüringer Zeitung)}

"Wir können uns Menschenwürde nicht mehr leisten!"

"Wir können uns Menschenrechte nicht mehr leisten!"

"Wir können uns Behinderte nicht mehr leisten!"

"Wir können uns arme Menschen nicht mehr leisten!"

"Wir können uns die Grundrechte nicht mehr leisten!"

"Wir können uns kostenlose Schulbildung nicht mehr leisten!"

"Wir können uns Minderheitenrechte nicht mehr leisten!"

"Wir können uns die Existenz von queeren Menschen nicht mehr leisten!"

"Wir können uns Arbeitnehmer*innenrechte nicht mehr leisten!"

"Wir können uns Datenschutz nicht mehr leisten!"

"Wir können uns kostenlose medizinische Versorgung nicht mehr leisten!"

(...)

Der Faschismus verbrämt seinen Hass gegen alles, was ihm gegen den Strich geht, gerne mit fehlendem Geld und angeblichen "Notwendigkeiten".

I try not to involve myself with politics, but I just can't say something to this.

Seems I will not be visiting the USA any time soon if this revision to the ESTA system or Form I-94 is actually inacted.

This is the information they will be asking for, if this comes to pass. In particular point I is the most scary:

a. Telephone numbers used in the last five years;
b. Email addresses used in the last ten years;
c. IP addresses and metadata from electronically submitted photos;
d. Family member names (parents, spouse, siblings, children);
e. Family number telephone numbers used in the last five years;
f. Family member dates of birth;
g. Family member places of birth;
h. Family member residencies;
i. Biometrics—face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris;
j. Business telephone numbers used in the last five years;
k. Business email addresses used in the last ten years.

Still using nvi on Slackware.

No plugins. No syntax highlighting. Just speed, predictability, and classic vi behavior, even with multi-GB files.

I wrote a short guide explaining why nvi still matters and how its architecture enables fast, low-memory editing.
