my latest blog post, which feels kinda like a work in progress, but helped me organize some of my ideas about this somewhat cryptic klezmer's mutual aid society.

With the ice storm announced... What are your plans if you lose power for multiple days? At our old house we had a firewood fireplace. But we kinda have no backup plan here :/
Sensitive content
✔ Say you search for something and there's a list of smart results.
You have a toggle that enables something like 'strict keyword matching' - which means any result not having those keywords will be dealt with.
👀 Catch: Keep in mind that often search results can be indirectly related to what you looking for without containing those keywords.
Question is, how would you like them dealt with?

I've built a tiny tool to migrate todo.sr.ht trackers to Codeberg. Maybe it can be useful to others.

FOSDEM 2026 Social Web Speakers
I have been trying to create a list for #fosdem26 and realized that (ironically) most of the people in the socialweb track ... does not have a fediverse account listed there.
I am also at fault, btw, so shame to me.
If you know someone who is presenting at #fosdem26 please send them my way. I will update this thread with the list of confirmed speakers.

Biais bibliothécaire mais quand tu entends : les BD c'est cool mais 25 euros la BD ça fait chier
Solution : go à la bib on est là pour ça (entre autre)
Friend: Ugh.
Me: What now?
Friend: This bank app. Ugh!
Me: What about it?
Friend: It says the password is weak. My memory is weak too, let me keep this password.
Me: My friend, let me introduced you to KeePassXC, a free and opensource password manager for Windows/Linux/macOS desktop and Android (KeePassDX/KeePass2Android) app. There is also KeePassium for iOS which is free and has a pro version too. You can do cloud sync if you want.
Friend: Naa. That is too much work.
Me: 😶
@FreakyFwoof Nice to know there was something done about it eventually.
It really looks like you both had a damn good time too!
In 1991, a uni student from Finland started a "hobby" project because he couldn't afford to pay expensive Unix license that could run on a commodity hardware. At the time, he told on the mailing list that his project wouldn't be anything "big or professional."
It turned out that he was totally wrong.
Happy 56th Birthday to the creator of Linux kernel and git, Linus Torvalds! May you live healthy and happy forever. Thank you for all your hard work and providing us employment and keep it FLOSS😊

My laptop is set up about six feet away from the nearest wireless access point. For various reasons, I can't use Ethernet in the part of this house where I am most of the time.
There is no good reason why I am seeing latency spikes up to 200 MS, not to a remote server in Australia, not to my first internet hop, not even to my local router, but the access point itself.
I HATE WIFI!
Time for spectrum analysis and junk, I guess.
There's a new Fediverse music streaming service showing music videos by small independent artists with their permission. You can view the channel at:
It's like the old-style MTV but for the Fediverse 🙂

The service runs on @owncast and you can find out more about OwnCast at:

Wie zu erwarten und von mir schon im Vorfeld kritisiert war der Barrierefreiheitsvortrag beim #39c3 ganz großer Unfug und voller fachlicher Fehler, die für Inklusion eher schädlich und teilweise sogar Ratschläge für illegales Verhalten sind.
Wir machens besser, führen Details aus und stellen quasi alles richtig. Heute 17:00 live auf Twitch mit einer Reaction bei @bommel: twitch.tv/bommel

Na serveru HN vyšel článek o USB-C a já na něj prostě musím reagovat. Kromě několika nepřesností se strhla i vlna nesmyslů a mýtů na sociálních sítích.Petr Šrámek (Chiptron)
Mám dvě zprávy:
1. Na #skyshowtime je celý seriál #xena
2. Na základě prvního dílu se mi zdá, že je to mnohem blbější než jsem si pamatoval
@archos @jfpavlik Jo, pro jistotu dodávám že #skyshowtime sice "sleduju na Linuxu" ale skrze aplikaci Waydroid ve které jede speciální build LineageOS
Takže oser maximální, ale (většinou) mi to funguje
V klasickém browseru to nefunguje a asi ani nebude fungovat, protože Sky Showtime vyžaduje kernel level DRM

Make sure vim terminate itself after 300 seconds. truly evil 😈
```
alias vim='timeout 300 vim'

The timeout command is a simple way to let a command run for a given amount of time. cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-run-a-…
Buenos días.
Cosas que no interesan a nadie.
En un rato tengo que ir a una mierda centro comercial a comprar unas mierdas de regalo para el amigo invisible de fin de año.
Apunte para el año que viene.
Cortarle los huevos al primo de Romina y a mi suegra cortarle la coleta como vuelvan a decir de hacer esta mierda.
Ayer se acordaron del amigo invisible y me han jodido el domingo, por que si no lo hago hoy entre semana me es imposible ir a comprar nada.
Relax 😎! GPG is not OpenPGP!
Yesterday, vulnerabilities were published gpg.fail but they don't affect #deltachat or other #chatmail clients because
A) We never used #gnupg for anything; we use the modern #rustlang #openpgp implementation @rpgp, security audited multiple times.
B) #openpgp is fine, as modernized in #RFC9580, which already warns against several #gpgfail issues (gpg didn't implement that spec)
Please spread the word that #gpg is not #openpgp ... Thanks! #39c3
Thanks for the pro-active reach out. Really appreciated.
I find "security audited multiple times" not very reassuring though, heard it to many times already...
Can you go a bit into detail why you think Deltachat (or its underlying library) is safe against the mentioned gpg.fail attacks?

We have a fireplace for the heat.

in reply to Stéphanie • • •Running a heater takes major wattage. A battery backup will only take you so far. People need to be making a bugout plan if they don’t have an alternate means of heating their home for at least 72-hours.
Also, it shouldn’t need to be said but running a gas stove or propane heater indoors is a no-go.
[EDIT: same goes for generators!]
People: remember to shut off your main water supply and open a few faucets before you go.
[EDIT 2: and go fill up/charge your cars NOW]

BCHydro did the same thing here for years; de-incentivized people from installing home solar.
And now they’re running out of generating capacity, buying power from Alberta, and rebuilding lines that get destroyed every year because of wildfires. 🤦♂️
