English-language Wikipedia, so influential in shaping collective memory in today's world, has been presenting systematically misleading information about Nazi Germany’s genocide of the European Jews.

This is the thesis of
"Wikipedia's Intentional Distortion of the History of the Holocaust," by Jan Grabowski and Shira Klein in The Journal of Holocaust Research.

My review, edited by [[User:HaeB]] in en-Wikipedia's community newsletter, The Signpost:

The EU has created a unique opportunity for users of one of the most important and privacy sensitive online ecosystems to regain freedom of choice and sovereignty over their data.

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.

Was für ein Tag: die große Kammer des Europäischen Gerichtshofs hat unsere #PersoOhneFinger-Klage verhandelt - und mit klugen Fragen die Vertreter.innen der Fingerabdruckpflicht ganz schön ins Schwitzen gebracht:

[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:

I just released my first beat-tape!
It’s largely comprised of the beats I made over the last 3-weeks or so. I’m still learning so they’re not the best, but I hope you enjoy regardless!

Here’s my Soundcloud too. I upload beats there when I’m finished with them, which means you can follow my music on there quicker than on streaming if you wish.

Friendica дико жрёт ресурсы и worker постоянно умирает, так как, как я понял, ему не хватает оперативы. Я вообще не программист, пишу чисто для себя и пишу как быдлокодер... возможно. Во внутренности фрэндики один раз залез и решил больше туда не лазить, так как там туева хуча зависимотей и вообще меня подобные архитектуры пугают. Залез в БД... я знаю о нормализации, но как мне показалось, разрабы френдики об этом знают мало, ну или решили забить на это (я так тоже часто делаю). Таблица 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"

This should reduce the amount of worker tasks.

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'

This query will take about an hour to complete.

@Hypolite Petovan @Rоссийская🐻Fедерация Версия актуальная , спамеры находятся в блоклисте, но всё равно появляются в таблице 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.
