Remembering Elisabeth Sladen (1st February 1946-19th April 2011), who played Sarah Jane Smith. She was my favourite #DoctorWho companion, it was lovely when she returned in School Reunion (2006), and went on to have her own series The Sarah Jane Adventures.

If you too feel uneasy about the state of the world, and you too worry about losing access to one of the greatest knowledge treasure of the internet,
Know that you can download an offline copy of Wikipedia!
Here's how 📚👇
1. Download the free and open source software Kiwix (this will be your reader): kiwix.org/en/applications/
2. If you want smaller versions of Wikipedia, you can download them within Kiwix.
Within the app, go to "Categories" in the menu on the left, then browse to a topic/version you want. Scroll to the bottom for Wikipedia mini, for example. Click on it then click "Download" on the right
3. Once you have downloaded a database, click on "Opened" on the left > database you want to search > "Open Main Page" on the right.
4. You can use the Search field on the upper-right to find topics like on online Wikipedia! 🔍

Then, go to this page, click on "Download - 109.89 GB" blue button on the first result (size may vary overtime), then select "Torrent file": library.kiwix.org/#lang=eng&ca…

Being able to do most of your things in a 15 minutes transit distance from your home is a great quality of life and environment indicator for a city. He talks about how to measure this metric and identify which cities and neighborhoods are 15-minutes compatible.
De beloofde fiscale hervorming heeft wel potentieel om de klimaattransitie te versnellen, bv. via de BTW-verlaging voor renovaties. Tegelijk lijken ambitieuze publieke investeringen vooral voorbehouden voor de industrie, veel minder om gezinnen bij te staan in die transitie. /2
Er zal enerzijds enorm worden bespaard op menselijkheid en sociaal welzijn, maar anderzijds vergeet men (nog steeds) concreet werk te maken van een versnelde afbouw van fossiele subsidies. Begrijpe wie begrijpen kan. /3
De nieuwe regering heeft geen visie of plan om ons land weg te leiden van onze afhankelijkheid van fossiel gas, en al op korte termijn iets te doen aan de belangrijke rol die ons land heeft in de doorvoer van o.a Russisch fossiel gas aan de rest van Europa. /4
Arizona rekent voor haar klimaatinspanningen ook hard op oude, dure en onbetrouwbare kerncentrales en riskeert veel tijd en middelen te verspillen aan plannen voor (onhaalbare en onbetaalbare) nieuwe kerncentrales. /5
Nochtans ligt hernieuwbare energie voor het rapen en maken zon en wind ons écht onafhankelijk van vervuilende energie of grondstoffen uit twijfelachtige regimes. /6
Het akkoord vermeldt ook geen duidelijk engagement voor een verbod op diepzeemijnbouw (de paragraaf over kritieke grondstoffen lijkt zelfs de deur open te zetten) en échte ambitie voor de bescherming van onze oceanen. /7
Het recht op protest tenslotte komt met dit akkoord ook opnieuw onder druk, met een versterking van GAS-wetgeving (vaak misbruikt om lokaal protest in te perken) en het voorstel om toch - ondanks protest van het middenveld de afgelopen jaren - een gerechtelijk betogingsverbod in te voeren. /8
Fox News reject Megyn Kelly got burned over her Little House on the Prairie reboot on Netflix tweet, Megyn Kelly, “If you wokeify Little House on the Prairie, I will make it my singular mission to absolutely ruin your project.”
Melissa Gilbert, who played Laura Ingalls in the original series, "Apparently Megyn tweeted (I'm not on that platform) asking that Netflix not “woke-Ify" their Little House remake. Ummm...watch the original again. TV doesn't get too much more “woke" than we did. We tackled: racism, addiction, nativism, antisemitism, misogyny, rape, spousal abuse and every other "woke " topic you can think of. Thank you very much. " #USPol
It's funny. The books and even the show is about how the women keep saving family from the father, who in real life, regardless of the hard working, pull em up by the bootstraps farmer they made him appear, was by all accounts a deadbeat failure with wanderlust, who was lazy.

This isn’t only significant because it was intentional. “LGB,” like the tortured legalese around zygotes (the cell thingy that goes into the other cell thingy is the boy!) are signs that they’re importing the UK’s transphobia campaigns of the last 10-15 years, including giving cis queer folks safe harbor on the right, IF they’re anti-trans.
‘If a billionaire disappears, does the world lose a scientist? No. An artist? No. A healer? No. A teacher? No. A farmer a horticulturist? No The world loses nothing of value. Because billionaires produce nothing. They consume. They extract. They pollute. They destroy nature. They build empires on suffering. Their existence is not a triumph of the system. It is proof of its failure.’ of Economic Growth (GDP)

Trump said the recent air traffic accident in Washington D.C. was caused by the aviation authorities hiring for diversity, equity, and inclusion (picture 1).
So I was looking for information about this diversity program, and it appears it was launched under a US president in 2019 (picture 2).
You got that right. Trump is blaming a diversity program which was launched under the Trump administration.
Lord Byron's semi-autobiographical tale in verse The Corsair is published by John Murray in London and sells 10,000 copies on this day and over 25,000 in the first month, going through seven editions. Walter Scott is to say of Byron's poetry: "He beat me out of the field in description of the stronger passions and in deep-seated knowledge of the human heart."
@leafeon @madargon You can store the login on your phone (activating it from the PC), and then secure the login with biometrics. That's a very secure method.
@madargon yeah!! i do try to use U2F whenever i can! but some services either don't support it or force you to also have OTP in order to use U2F (for some weird reason, seems silly to me)
the OTP feature on yubikey is so handy tbh. i hate having to unlock my phone whenever i want to log in on desktop with an OTP

Hello, @RichiH I noticed the FOSDEM network does not announce the PREF64 RA option to signal the NAT64 prefix. This means that devices have to use DNS64 to discover the NAT64 prefix. Would it be possible to add this option in the future?
