:boost_requested: Pitching a new federation protocol
Sensitive content
polyproto is an up-and-coming federation protocol with features like lossless account migration, resilience against loss of identity because of homeserver shutdown and tamper-resistant data exchange inherent to how it works under the hood.
The best part is that it doesn't re-invent the wheel, and builds on extremely well-known and widely used technologies such as X.509 (the technology powering all the SSL/TLS certificates—the thingies responsible for the padlock 🔒 symbol in your browser), regular ol' digital signature schemes, JSON, HTTP and Websockets.
If you are so inclined, feel free to find out more at polyproto.org or feel free to polyproto.org/docs/protocols/core (which I have tried my best to write in a way that doesn't induce a deep sleep on the reader).
The project wants to eventually yield a federated, self-hosted Discord alternative usable by everyone, not just computer nerds, and hosts it's source code at codeberg.org/polyphony . It is not currently in any usable or demoable state, sadly, but that is being worked on.

Алла Пугачёва выпустила новую песню под названием "Давай просто жить" – предновогодний подарок для поклонников.
В песне звучат строки: «За место под солнцем опять готовы друг с другом стреляться, Да где ж оно, счастье, где оно, счастье, где оно, счастье? Не знаю... Вновь падения и взлеты, боль и успех, И билет в один конец лишь есть у всех, По судьбе летим неровно — то вниз, то вверх, Некуда спешить, некуда спешить — Ой, давай просто жить!»

The difference in copyright enforcement between individuals bittorrenting things vs mega companies downloading it for AI is just a massive demonstration of how we live in a plutocratic oligarchy
A man is driving down a deserted highway when he spots a sign: “Sisters of St. Francis - House of Prostitution - 10 Miles.”
He shakes it off as his imagination… until he sees another sign: Sisters of St. Francis - House of Prostitution - 5 Miles.
Then another: Sisters of St. Francis - House of Prostitution - Next Right.
Curiosity wins. He turns in and finds a stone building with a small sign that simply reads: Sisters of St. Francis.
He rings the bell. A nun opens the door and asks, “What may we do for you, my son?”
He replies, “I saw the signs and was interested in doing erm... business…”
The Nun smiles politely "Very well,” she says. “Please follow me.”
She leads him through twisting hallways until they stop at a door. “Knock,” she says.
Another nun opens it, holding a tin cup. “Please place $100 in the cup, then go through the large wooden door at the end of the hall.” He happily drops the money in, rushes down the hall, and goes through the door. CLICK. The door locks behind him. He’s back in the parking lot, staring at a sign that reads:
GO IN PEACE. YOU HAVE JUST BEEN SCREWED BY THE SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS. MAY GOD BE WITH YOU SINNER!
#Microsoft is really a horrible company. Seems to only care about investors. Certainly not customers. I'm so happy to be using a Linux desktop and no longer using Windows.
Microsoft has deprecated windows 10, yet million of users still use it. They say the hardware is not supported, yet they keep pestering us with endless pings.
it's like streaming gets the message and then the other pulling API also gets it and TC doesn't realize it's a duplicat or something I never was able to figure it out.

A blackout in San Francisco yesterday cut power to traffic lights. Drivers coped; Waymos just stopped moving, often in intersections, stranding passengers and compounding gridlock.
Přátelé máme tu zimní slunovrat. To znamená, že se nám začínají krátit noci a prodlužovat dny.
Hlavně to ale znamená, že je čas otevřít solarogafy, které od letního slunovratu (21. června) snímají dráhu slunce na obloze. Že ještě nemáte #solarograf? Nové video jak si jeden vyrobit už teď na VHSkách vhsky.cz/w/3inz7oFAC2UgRc2RTFy…
Včerejší noc byl také nov, tak máme skvělé podmínky na sledování Ursidů
We set up a new Mastodon instance focused on supporting nonprofit/charitable organizations. If you know of such an organization looking for a place in the Fediverse, please point them our way.
I wish you could gift people doordash giftcards. I've survived on peanut butter and jelly, buffalo chicken dip and a frozen chicken meal for the last week. I'm craving taco bell in the worlds worst way. Tacos and a mountain dew baha blast...
YAML is such a stupid, stupid format for human-written config files. I've just spent an hour finding a two-space "error" in netplan. Using spaces (or tabs) for semantics was (and still is) a mistake in makefiles, it was a mistake in Occam, it's still a mistake in Python and it's a mistake in YAML. It's a mistake whenever humans are supposed to write these files.
this might be a weird question, but are you always truly genuine with your friends or family, or do you catch yourself saying things that sort of give the impression of connection without really saying anything? or maybe you intend to actually have a conversation, but end up just sort of landing on lines that are sort of aesthetically pleasing without substance? Or maybe you notice people doing that to you sometimes
is there a word for this behavior? are we talking at each other instead of to?
I feel myself very slowly reverting back to my pre 2021 era and no. No no we will not be doing that. I am absolutely not here for it and NGL I really really fucking hate myself right now. Stupid stupid fucking stupid.
Basically, I just feel myself reverting back to being super angry/irritable/snappy/hostile, and I am not here for it. When it gets to a point where it's pushing people away, nope nope nope.
Ah, emotional dysregulation is a bitch. I used to be very reactive and would automatically read other people's interactions with me as negative. The one thing that has helped me is taking a pause before responding or taking action. I try not to do anything when the feelings are the most intense. I've definitely had the urge to blow up my entire online presence and disappear. I also used to regularly lay into people who didn't deserve it. The pause gives you time to choose how to respond. Some days it will be more of a struggle, but that's okay. Be gentle with yourself. 💙
Don't doubt yourself. This shit is hard and takes a lot of practice. It will be easier if you don't beat yourself up when you screw up. One thing that helps me is to literally count to 3 in my head. Usually if I'm about to say something I'll regret, that helps me at least rework the thought so that it doesn't come out as harsh. Anything that temporarily interrupts your ability to respond should work.
I'm glad they took away that award from Claire Obscura for having AI generated assets during development. I hope we maintain our integrity and only give awards to video game companies that abuse their employees with terrible working conditions and mandatory overtime so they can't even be present at their child's birth
Ing's extremely excruciatingly annoying when you try to follow the instructions from a Github repo, only to find out that they are all wrong or, at least, don't work as advertised. Also, these sorts of hickups usually happen with repos that rely heavily on Python modules... :)
IMHO: I spent a couple of hours listening to a bunch of top songs generated by Suno v5, their latest model. Sad to say, but it’s comparable to the average music on Spotify from the last two decades. The key word is average though. The mixing, production, performance, arranging, and songwriting are all passable. Sometimes you notice slight audio artifacts or too many words crammed with awkward phrasing, but people wouldn’t even notice as background music in a random coffee shop or airport. #AI
It wouldn't be all bad if for the question who's gonna earn money on that? Thinking out loud... Imagine someone hacks Suno one day! What sort of music will come out of this? LOL
@vick21 I wonder what the saturation will do to music industry. Digital music production and social media democratized for indie artists, but now AI is democratizing mass production. Anyone with good music taste can do it, and people are already floodding streaming services with AI music. I read about an Uber driver with no music background making a few hundred bucks a month by generating AI tracks. Also some AI generated songs already hit number one on the charts. theguardian.com/technology/202…

Guess what, #Nextcloud? #OneDrive has a "Copy Link" in the file context menu. And guess what? They also open a dialog, like with whom to share, for editing or for viewing, but this dialog is fully accessible. Webbish, yes (I would prefer a native Windows API one), but fully accessible. And guess what even more? #GoogleDrive also has "Copy Link" in their context menu. Aren't they secure enough? I don't know. But they are *convenient*. And *accessible*. UPD. this post was inspired by my struggles with sharing Nextcloud links and by this ongoing discussion. TL;DR: The option was there, it worked like a charm, but then it was removed because of "security". github.com/nextcloud/desktop/i… #Accessibility
Hi, The public share link has been removed with the 3.15 client version. Could it be possible to bring back this feature ? Below, a screen from a right click on a folder/file with the 3.14.3 client...
Guess what, @menelion? You can file suggestion for #Nextcloud at Github: github.com/nextcloud/desktop/i… I don't know if something like that is possible for OneDrive or GoogleDrive but for Nextcloud it is possible that YOUR idea becomes true. 😉
@kaffeeringe Unfortunately, nope nope. I'm writing this not for the first time, and it's actually a bitter feeling after this (ongoing) discussion. TL;DR: The option was there, it worked as a charm, then it was removed because of "security". github.com/nextcloud/desktop/i… Sorry, I'll edit my post to give more context, because you're right that it sounds like mere whining.

I actually managed to download it finally. If you want, I can either guide or simply give you a link to OneDrive or something. Actually, it's the best option. Also you have Windows Sandbox for kind of lighter scenarios. I managed to concoct an XML that launches NVDa on sandbox run.
Happy (slightly belated) Yule (to folks in the northern hemisphere, a blessed Litha to folks in the south). The darkest day of the year is now behind us and while the cold will remain for some time, we are already on the steady path to warmth and summer.
