Here’s the server that’s been running my two #fediverse instances and #Hugo blog for the past two years.

It’s a low-power Intel NUC with a Celeron processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a 500 GB SSD. The entire setup lives under my printer and cost less than $300.

Bandwidth demands are modest—just a few gigs weekly. No fancy tunneling involved either. It’s just a straightforward router setup forwarding a couple of ports, a script that updates the server’s IP with my registrar as needed, and a robust Fail2ban rule set to keep things a bit secure.

No more corporate social networks and VPSes!

Wholeheartedly agree with @pluralistic 's plea to use #RSS, my favourite RSS application is in fact @AntennaPod for podcasts.

Slightly embarrassed to admit I don't really understand how it works, which suggests that vast majority of people don't know it even exists ...

The program you use to download podcasts, whether that is Apple Podcasts, Antennapod, or something else, is an RSS reader.

Podcasts are structured as attachments inside of an RSS feed. The way you listen to a podcast is by downloading and playing an MP3 (streaming is just a form of downloading).

It is downloaded to your device by your podcast app.

The way the podcast app finds those MP3 files is by loading and parsing an RSS feed.

Right, I'm going to do something I dislike, but I literally don't know how else to get support to follow up with me.
I have indeed submitted two support requests in the intervening time, i'm not just being lazy I promise.
On 17 Aug I made a video about #FloatPlane accessibility and how not good it is.
I wasn't a troll, I was constructive and thoughtful, and yet I cannot get a hold of anyone at either Floatplane Media or LTT.
If *anyone* happens to know someone at one of these companies and could get my video to them, I'd be extremely grateful.
The other thing I really dislike doing is asking if people could boost for reach, but I'll make an exception.
Fedi is big now, and far more reaching than modern-day xitter, so all help gratefully received.
I thank you in advance.

"This is a recording of the panel "Realizing Visions of Postcapitalism: A Conversation about Information Systems for Democratic Economic Planning" with Alejandro Ruiz, Jessamyn West, David Zachariah, and Tomas Härdin, on 22nd October 2024.

Event description:

In this panel, we will explore some of the technical considerations of democratic economic planning (DEP). Alejandro Ruiz, Jessamyn West, David Zachariah, and Tomas Härdin will explore their work and converse about how existing organizations might be able to integrate that work to build DEP systems and postcapitalist outcomes in the real world. This panel will explore some of the infrastructure, interface, and institutional dimensions of postcapitalism, including the burning question of, “What is to be done to realize a better world?”

The beginning part of the event will be directed towards a general audience interested in DEP. The last part of the event will be directed more towards an audience of specialists who may want to engage in more technical dialogue. All questions and contributions are welcome, no matter how general or technical. We’ll do our best to make space for and translate between these two domains of conversation.

This is activism in action. This is how you be an ally. This is how when the deranged get loud, you get louder.

As they say “speak up, even if your voice shakes.”

Way to go, Springfield woman. Someone get her some metal cuffs and a golden lasso.

Semantic websites are awesome! Among other things, they let you write reusable CSS. Please send me your semantic websites, so I can analyze them for common patterns and write a composable CSS framework.

seirdy.one/ is semantic. I describe how in my “Site design standards” page, particularly the “machine-friendliness” section. The optional stylesheet barely uses any custom class/id selectors, instead preferring microdata and microformat selectors.

Já si říkal co se tam děje. Včera jsem tam zrovna jel když se tam složky IZS zasahovaly. Na kole. 😕

Ani se mi moc sem nechce dávat babišovské téma, ale zjišťuju, že pořád jsou lidi, kteří nevědí a dost možná video je pro ně stravitelnější forma.

Je to série několika videí, kde je převyprávěné to nejdůležitější.
