I did it, it's out!
This is a labour of love and fighting against my own self deprecation.
I've been told my whole life that I was tone deaf and a terrible singer.
I had to push myself real hard to start getting singing lessons at 39 years old, and publishing this song, knowing that it's not perfect.
I still hate the sound of my voice, and I know that I can do better, but I needed to let this go and move forward.

I really, really can’t say enough positive things about server-side Swift. I literally had no backend experience before this year, but I decided to write the entire backend for AltStore PAL in Swift and after some initial hiccups (*cough* URLSession *cough*) it’s been remarkably smooth sailing. Plus I can still use Xcode to develop everything & cross-compile for Linux!
If you’ve been wanting to experiment with server-side Swift, there’s really no better time to start swift.org/documentation/server…

Every time I have to deal with the libatspi C API, I want to bang my head repeatedly against the desk. The Python bindings around it moved from a "we're writing static bindings so might as well make them more idiomatic" to a big "let's fix the C API" layer, but nobody is fixing the C API because that would require breaking backward compatibility.
I'm not even going to touch the fact that it took more than 10 years to get the RPC interfaces to match the implementation…

OpenAthena™ is a project that enables consumer and professional drones to identify precise locations based on their images.
After getting rid of some Umlaut in a file name, the code did not only compile – but resulted in a reproducible build. So the new release that shows up in about 2 hours from now will have the green shield up

These #InternationalStudents Wanted #Citizenship. #Canada Killed That Dream.
As Canada tries to staunch an overflow of temporary #immigration, tens of thousands of international students and recent grads may be forced to leave the country. Here are their stories.
"For example, I’m developing a device for newborn care that monitors infants’ body temperature, skin colour, eye colour, weight and heart rate, among other factors, to track their health, particularly during those critical first few weeks of life. It could save lives. Think of how many other students have ideas and skills we can’t even imagine yet.
That’s why it’s so disheartening to hear some Canadians talk about international students like we’re parasites. I pay about $12,000 per semester in tuition—far more than Quebec residents do. I have a campus job as a kitchen supervisor to cover my expenses, and I live in a small two-bedroom apartment with a roommate. People like me are not responsible for Canada’s problems. But we can help solve them, contributing to the country’s cultural diversity, its economy, its innovation and its growth. And by bridging gaps between nations, we help build a more inclusive society for everyone."

Hallo @Friendica Support ,
meine Instanz dica.interfel.de liefert seit vorhin Err 504 Gateway Time-out zurück.
Sie liegt bei Uberspace und der DNS-Eintrag funktioniert offenbar.
Die Datenbank scheint auch ok, ich habe gerade erfolgreich ein Backup davon erstellt.
Konsole und Performance auf der Konsole, Quota usw sind ok.
Die einzige Änderung der letzten Monate ist die Aktivierung des Addons Bluesky. Es lief bis gestern Abend sauber und hat drei Accounts von Bluesky in meine Timeline integriert. Mehr nicht.
Habe als erste Maßnahme gerade auf der Konsole versucht, das Addon zu deaktivieren, aber der entsprechende Befehl scheint das Addon nicht zu finden:
[... bin]$ console addon disable bluesky
[Error] Addon nicht gefunden
Der Befehl zum Auflisten aller aktiven Addons liefert auch nur eine leere Liste:
[... bin]$ ./console addon list enabled
+------+---------+
| Name | Enabled |
+------+---------+
| | |
+------+---------+
Gibt es irgendwelche Ideen dazu, was ich tun kann?
Ah, okay, danke Dir.
So funktioniert schon mal der 'disable bluesky'-Befehl - zumindest kommt keine Fehlermeldung.
./bin/console list enabled wirft allerdings die gesamte Liste aller Addons raus, obwohl ich nur einige wenige aktiviert habe.
Der '504' kommt immer noch. Es ist die Friendica 2024.06.
Kann ich über die Konsole irgendwie einen relevanten Status herausfinden?
./bin/console maintenance 1 bzw 0 funktioniert übrigens einwandfrei.
Der Fehler ist behoben, aber das Konsolenkommando zum Einschalten des Friendica-Protokolls wäre bei Gelegenheit trotzdem von Interesse.
So für das Befehls-Archiv.
Fehler offenbar behoben :-)Habe aufgrund Deines Hinweises mal das PHP-Log von Uberspace aktiviert. Das dauerte sehr lange und hatte schon durchs Einschalten dutzende ERRORs im sehr langen Logfile.
Dann auf die PHP-Version auf 8.1 umgestellt und erneut das PHP-Log aktiviert. Drei Zeilen im Log und "ready to handle connections".Laut History war zuvor PHP 8.0 aktiviert und war wohl Ursache des Problems. Irgendetwas muss vergangene Nacht bei Uberspace verändert worden sein.
Die Instanz läuft nun wieder erwartungsgemäß und Deine Hilfe bei der Konsole hat mich auf die Spur gebracht.
Vielen vielen Dank dafür!
@SoNak @Michael Vogel gaaaz simpel 
bin/console config system debugging zeigt den aktuellen Wert der Einstellung an, 0 bedeutet kein logging, 1 bedeutet logging. Wenn du den gewünschten Wert als vierten Parameter übergibts änderst du die aktuelle Einstellung, also zum Aktivieren des Protokollierens bin/console config system debugging 1.

Das war zwar wirklich herumstochern im Nebel, aber oft reichen grobe Indizien, um ein Problem einzugrenzen. Von Beginn an war da das Gefühl, es liegt in der Infrastruktur begründet. Daher auch zunächst die Tests bezüglich DNS, Quota usw.
Es brauchte nur den passenden Funken - Logfiles. Ich arbeite einfach zu selten auf dieser Ebene, um von selbst darauf gekommen zu sein.
Zeit für den zweiten Versuch eines Liberapay-Kontos. Hatte bei einem früheren Versuch 2021 keine Einzahlung hinbekommen oder einfach das Prinzip nicht verstanden.

Real time collaboration software and text boxes that rapidly save drafts to the cloud essentially log your fingerprintable typing behavior. The industry refers to this information as “keystroke dynamics” or “typing biometrics”.
Other modern “operator signatures” are easier to minimize. A user can learn to obfuscate writing style, or can use keyboard navigation with different pointing devices to limit fingerprinting of mouse behavior.
Keystroke biometrics are difficult to anonymize without installing software such as kloak or browser extensions (the latter of which may add fingerprintable vectors) designed to cloak some of your typing habits. Signature typos, approximate typing speed, etc. will still leak. Alternatively, we could normalize typing messages out in a simple offline editors that don’t store revision history before pasting them into other input fields.

Would any editor with an undo history apply as well?
Even for the case of vim, where (I'm not familiar with how history is really stored, only guessing that) undo checkpoints are determined by switching from insert to normal mode, there is still fingerprintable information in how often and where someone switches to normal mode.
What a refreshing story! I imagine many of us here owe a great deal to @libreoffice a software suite that has freed us from the grip of the document monopoly, thus broken our dependency on the fate of a single company.

"When cis people try to understand what it is to be trans, I think they often try to imagine what it would feel like to want to be 'the opposite sex'. What they should be trying to imagine, instead, is how it would feel to wake up and find that the whole world insists they *are* the opposite sex. That would be a much closer scenario to how it feels to be trans." Sage

New OSM tool (to me):
It is an easy way to see where lights are already mapped, and what still needs to be covered. I do believe MapComplete has one as well.
This map shows street lamps and their settings in the data of OpenStreetMap. It shows e.g. operators, reference numbers and details about the used lights.sb12.github.io
Correct: our street light map is here: mapcomplete.org/street_lightin…?

"In his new book, Supercommunicators, the journalist Charles Duhigg writes that one of the most common sources of conflicts in relationships is when partners don’t agree on the type of conversation they’re having. Some conversations are practical: Let’s solve a problem together. Others are emotional: Let’s talk about and understand our feelings. Many fights mistake practical for emotional conversations, and vice versa."
