Whoops! school accidentally leaked names of kids who opted out of sex education

Names had been redacted from a PDF, but included in HTML version. 🤦‍♂️ This kind of screw-up happens far too often.

A collaborator found out that the US State Dept is seeking public input on whether "satellite signature reduction" should be subject to ITAR regs.

Translation: should satellite operators who make their satellites fainter (in order to not destroy the night sky quite as much) be allowed to talk about how they did it?

So some of my collaborators and I put together a quick and easy template for you to email the US State Dept and tell them this shouldn't be secret info:

@fexplorer @cantences Ja, das stimmt gewissermaßen. Wenn ich etwas mit der APP bewirken will, muss ich einen Account haben. Aber ich kann sie öffnen und die Aufgaben eingeben, ohne dass sie hochgeladen werden. Für mich war diese Möglichkeit eine Phase des Lernens. Bei OSM an sich muss ich angemeldet sein, wenn ich die Funktionen ausprobieren will.
Ist das richtig?

If you harbored any doubts regarding #Bluesky and their claims of decentralization, you HAVE TO read this brilliant, insightful toot by @jonny about the impossibility of multiple relays and what would happen if one tried to split off from #Bsky the corporation: neuromatch.social/@jonny/11336…

I actually recommend you read the whole thread - and follow Jonny! (Thank you for the recommendation @oblomov!)

"Premiér Petr Fiala uvedl, že považuje svoji vládu za nejúspěšnější v české historii."

Byl jeden světový politik, jmenoval se Biden a ten taky tvrdil, že jeho vláda je velmi úspěšná. A ona objektivně v mnoha ohledech úspěšná je, ale když se tváříš, že je vše "nadmíru výtečné", a nepřiznáš, že i tak můžou mít lidi problémy, i když za ně tvoje vláda ani přímo nemůže, prohraješ volby.

This one’s quite important, thespinoff.co.nz/atea/25-10-20….

While Māordom has been in an uproar about the Treaty Principles Bill, which New Zealand First MP Shane Jones says is “dead in the water”, the coalition government has quietly set the wheels in motion for at least 28 pieces of legislation to have their Treaty clauses reviewed and potentially removed.

Key terminology here is “investors.” This seems like just the right sort of trickery perfected by conservatives in America.

How to Add a Brand Preset to OpenStreetMap


Just wrote a little blog and made a video about this to hopefully make it easier for folks to figure this out. I've looked it up a few times throughout the years and it was always a little tricky to find.

Welcome Brendon Smith as #curl commit author 1319: github.com/curl/curl/pull/1560…

Geeks of Mastodon, C writers and API whisperers, are you bored and without a short project?
I would love for #CURL to be able to list Samba directories. Last year I made a PR allowing for local directories listing and wanted to do the the same for smb, but without success. I think succeeding requires knowledge of Windows APIs.
I can provide some help getting it merged.

This is where I got stuck: github.com/colinleroy/curl/com…
(the magic should happen in smb_send_open_directory)
