Cinco apuntes sueltos:

1- Trump esta vez ganó el voto popular. Cortó fuertemente ventaja en lugares fuertemente demócratas. Eso se explica en parte por la insatisfacción con Biden pero también porque la persona estadounidense promedio (igual que la persona promedio en todo el mundo) se parece más a Trump que a Harris.

Esto que significa?

la persona estadounidense promedio (igual que la persona promedio en todo el mundo) se parece más a Trump que a Harris.


La reelección de Trump es una mala noticia para los pueblos del mundo.

Representa el autoritarismo, el pisoteo institucional, el matonismo tabernario internacional y el desprecio a la clase trabajadora.

Y por otro lado, es garantía de privilegios a los ultrarricos y a los genocidas.

in reply to Izquierda Unida 🔻🇵🇸

En Europa, el trumpismo traerá aranceles y tensiones.

El debate que tenemos delante es si Europa asumirá el rol de sumisión para continuar con la agresión genocida e imperialista en Ucrania, Oriente Próximo y Asia, o si replanteará sus relaciones con EEUU para no pagar los platos rotos de su política exterior.

in reply to Izquierda Unida 🔻🇵🇸

Por la parte que nos toca, es urgente deshacernos de la influencia estadounidense para que sus guerras no nos arrastren a la miseria y la barbarie.

Tenemos que explorar el nuevo horizonte de relaciones multilaterales que se abre en torno al BRICS para fortalecer unas relaciones internacionales de cooperación de y paz.



USPol/USGov question

USPol/USGov question

They don't have a big enough margin in the Senate to pass just anything. I don't know about the House, yet. They may stay as disorganized as they have been the last two years.

None of that is good... But hopefully it will be useful.



No matter what happens tonight,
or this year,
or in the next four years…

the mountains stand
the moon and sun smile
the wind dances
the stars sing
the seasons change
the ocean murmurs
and our world turns on its axis
without the aid or consideration of men.



Yesterday, today, and tomorrow there are only three things you need to do. They have not changed and will never change.

1. Enjoy life.

2. Be someone you would love.

3. Make things better.

Every act, every word, every breath that is not one or more of these things is wasted. And there is not a single day in which you are not capable of all three.



btw, did YOU know that cookie names are case sensitive?

in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

nope or I just forgot as I did not touch such things for over a decade. But IIRC I always did everything all lower case.
in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

I actually assume that everything is case sensitive … with the exception of mail addresses and domain names.

Filenames are often also not, but its safer to assume they are.

(I once formated a mac in HFS+ extended journaled case sensitve ... for FUN. Yeah, … "fun" I had)




and here's how we worked on the recent #curl CVE from it first being reported until published earlier today: hackerone.com/reports/2764830
#curl


I think it's going to be more important than ever that #Mastodon and the #fediverse are not centrally operated out of the US unlike almost every other social media platform out there.

« But, Nick, you’re not a US Citizen, this election doesn’t affect you ».

Do you know how shit the internet has become since Trump was elected the first time? Do you know how fast and far the quality of online interactions has dropped since that orange fascist opened the gates to let all the trolls from under the bridge?

Anyone who makes content that has even 2% of political notions (and FOSS is definitely political) will be confronted to more brainwashed maniacs and bigots.

in reply to Nick @ The Linux Experiment

That’s not even talking about how the US tends to reflect what happens in the rest of the world. All the crazy conspiracies and imbecilic notions that Trumpists have?

They also arrive in Europe about 3 to 5 years later. We have people fighting against « woke » in France now, even though it was never a real thing in the US, and even less so in France.

We are already going down, fast. This will harm the entire world by ricochet. This election is a blow for humanity as a whole.

in reply to Nick @ The Linux Experiment

And if someone says « but he won the popular vote », I will scream.

Yes, that’s the problem. The problem isn’t that this fringe dictator spewing conspiracies and lies every single time he speaks has SOME supporters.

The problem is that regular, normal people also were convinced by his crazy shit. That’s the problem. Normal people are now falling for this scam, again. More people now think this shit is fine. Preferable, even. That’s what difficult to swallow. Humanity is moronic.



Turkeys voting for Christmas.

The fallout will hit all of us. Probably literally.

Election night in 2016 killed my optimism and my religiousness. Tonight feels... somewhat worse.


I am taking the small wins today.
Sat here waiting for a large download whilst on an active Teams meeting and still in awe that I am receiving over 8 megabytes a second whilst sending and receiving stereo audio and video.
The very fact that I can work from home whilst remaining so connected is tremendous. I'll have been in my current job for 9 months by the start of next week and I can't believe the difference in stress and worry. I spent so many of my evenings over the last couple of years on alert that I've struggled to come to terms with working a very different type of job at a better rate of pay but with less pressure out-of-hours.
So I'm taking a moment not to worry about politics or indeed all the problems I still have and to enjoy the rewarding feeling of what I tend to think of as good luck, but I am assured is hard work and dedication and deserved. Still not quite feeling that on a personal level but everyone seems to be saying so!
in reply to Sean Randall

So a reasonable workday. Nice to have paper copies of things to be able to refer back to, scrunch up in fury, etc.
Still very tired and struggled to move much after eating, but trying to put on that final burst of energy to tackle the kitchen and load the dishes before I crash.
in reply to Sean Randall

I hope you have a good rest of the evening. Take care my friend.



Please can we all use CW (Content Warnings) and hashtag the heck out of posts/toots for the foreseeable future. Some folks will vanish if they can’t filter out recent developments.

Please boost this message far and wide. ☮️



Looks like I'm firmly entrenched on the backside of the clock. Sleep all day yesterday, with lots of wake ups every couple of hours, then up all night. Shall I put a pot of coffee on at 4:00 AM? I'm not yet ready for my backwards sleep, LOL.


It's not late, never too late, to wish you a good morning, to have a good day, to be safe and take care of you and those around you, to spread some love, compassion and understanding. and of course, good luck to all! 🤗 💖 💙

@raulredondo parece que allí tienen un sistema electoral bastante retorcido y el voto popular cuenta menos, o de una forma muy concreta, o yo qué sé.

En este caso no es eso, Trump gana el voto popular también, o eso parece por ahora.


I identify as a microwave meal.
I'm done in 5 minutes and look nothing like the picture.


BTW, if I post or retoot something without a proper CW, feel free to call me out at any time or to request a CW. I'd like to think I'm doing a good job, but my barometer for what's fucked up is, itself, also fucked up.

And everyone else? Please, do better about CWing, too. I'm tired of seeing something I'd absolutely boost in a heartbeat, if it weren't for the lack of CW.

Good morning all, in work now, got a busy day ahead, hope everybody has a super day.


Because #BotsInSpace is shutting down (😢) I'm looking for a new home for my bots.

I have an RSS feed which posts to BlueSky…
And I have Bridgy which converts BSky to Fediverse…

So… Welcome @openbenches.org !

(This is an experiment. Feedback welcome. I might try self-hosting. Not sure yet. I don't know how to move followers across.)

in reply to Terence Eden

Hmmm. About 1,000 followers have moved over to the new account - @colours

I can see my messages being sent. But they don't seem to be received. Not entirely sure what's going on and am half a bottle of Malbec into the evening, so probably shouldn't be futzing around with code.

One for the morning, I fear!

in reply to Terence Eden

OK. What is going on here?

A bunch of people can see the posts sent out by @colours - but lots of people can't.

As far as I can see, Mastodon.social isn't sending me back an HTTP response when I send to a shared inbox. But other Mastodon-based servers happily accept it.

Here are the headers

strcpy can cause a buffer overflow

user finds strcpy in #curl code

user files a CRITICAL security report against #curl for using strcpy in source code. Proof? Well he did grep the code and it shows that it does indeed use strcpy...

Never a dull moment.

I am not hopeful. I am quite sad.

Elon Musk essentially bought the election when he bought Twitter.

Journalists could have left Twitter, and had it go the way of MySpace. Instead, they continued to legitimize it, thereby giving it life.

For the next four years, decentralized social media will be needed – if only as an alternative to the faux-progressive media that seek to control the public square.

The world is becoming more and more authoritarian, and we need an antidote.
