It’s time to leave rsyslog behind: rsyslog.com/rsyslog-goes-ai-fi…

Even if they go back on that, it’s proof enough that they can not be trusted. Not now, not ever. No critical piece of a system should rely on people who believe in the LLM illusion.

Sadly all of ./play.it infrastructure is currently relying on rsyslog for centralised logging management. If you use something else, and are happy with it, suggestions are welcome.

Right now our top candidates for a replacement are:
- syslogd, the original one
- syslog-ng (it seems powerful, but its documentation is awful)

Our needs are very basic, mostly we want to be able to tell the logging system to store logs in specific paths based on the process name, like sending rspamd logs to /var/log/mail/rspamd.log or unbound logs to /var/log/network/unbound.log.

Logs rotation is already handled by logrotate, so we do not need the syslog daemon to include the ability to handle that itself.

Being packaged in Debian is a non-negotiable requirement.

I have an #interrail question. interrail.eu/en/support/intere… states about "what is a travel day" and night trains:

* If you don't have a changeover after midnight then that only counts as one travel day instead of 2
* but somehow this does not work on the last day of the pass? ("Note: you cannot use your Eurail Pass to take a night train on your last travel day as the validity period will expire at 23:59.")

The second part is oddly confusing to me right now. Can someone confirm/explain that?

in reply to Bubu

Let's say you buy "7 days in a month", that month ends at 23:59 the last day.
E.g. July 13 --> August 12 23:59.

i.e. the #interrail pass is not valid anymore after that time. After 23:59 on August 12 it expires.

You have to be home before 23:59 (scheduled time) on the last day of validity period. Night trains are practically impossible on the last day of _validity_, regardless of how many _travel_days_ you have left.

If you take photos of ducks when the weather is too cold you can look at them when it is too hot, and vice versa, to try to trick yourself into feeling less hot/cold. It doesn't work, but you get to look at pictures of ducks.

Follow me for more excellent advice such as this.

open source maintainers, i encourage you to follow daniel’s wonderful example here.

i sincerely hope many of you do end up with support contracts in place. not holding my breath, but it’s not a crazy thought to imagine corporate users paying for support. i hear some of them do it all the time.

quería compartir el trabajo de Jes and Cin Wibowo, par de artistas gemelas idénticas de Indonesia que —entre muchas de las cosas que hacen— de repente hacen pequeñas historias de Superman y Lois Lane. Sus versiones de estos personajes son geniales, muy interesantes, frescas. Le aportan cosas nuevas y cercanas al mundo de Superman, mientras mantienen su estilo propio. Una maravilla. No tienen Mastodon, así que les comparto su IG para que lo exploren un poco. #superman

One of the most common forms of racism and hate in the fedi is hyper focus on Black and Brown folks to ignore or cover for hateful behavior.

My work has exposed me to some truly disgusting behavior on the fedi. There are actual bad people who have committed themselves to harmful and really gross dehumanizing behavior. Just the other day, I had to deal with a white nationalist trying to gaslight me into thinking they were ‘reasonable.’

I find there is an overemphasis on policing the timelines of Black and Brown folks to ignore or even protect the actual perpetuators of harm in this space.

There is an expectation constantly being projected onto Black and Brown folks to be perfect in every action and thought we have in this space to be ‘worthy’ of civility that is not applied to any other group of people, especially white folks.

This, of course, is a pillar of white supremacy culture.

When people say this space is anti-Black, it’s not only because of the obvious hatefulness we see. That’s just a small part of it.

The larger piece is that there is an enforced standard for Black folks that is not applied to anyone else.

That act is racism being reinforced by people across the political spectrum.

Sorry for being late to the party. I suggest you don't include the FW 60W charger in your order and buy a decent 100W one separately. For example, Ugreen, but there is a good selection of USB PD GaN power bricks on the market.
The reason being 60W is not enough to power the L13 under load, so you will experience constant jumping between battery and AC power.

Can Mastodon handle crappy, and I mean really crappy quality audio? This is an 8K sample rate, 8 kilobits per second MP3. It's the Samsung washer song, being played by an instrument I made in Surge, the details of which are mostly lost due to the extreme downsampling and lossy encoding.

"Leclerc, Carrefour, Auchan et Picard mis en demeure par des associations d'aveugles et de malvoyants pour leur sites"

"Contactées par France Inter, seules les enseignes Carrefour et Picard ont répondu à nos sollicitations. Carrefour se dit étonné de cette mise en demeure et déclare que son site marchand atteint un taux d’accessibilité de 71%. Le spécialiste des surgelés Picard revendique lui un niveau de 56%. Les deux entreprises affirment avoir engagé un plan d’amélioration sur plusieurs années."


Non mais alors là, pardon mais 🤣

Le seul taux attendu c'est 100%, en deça, ça ne signifie rien en tant que tel. On peut avoir 90% de conformité au RGAA et avoir un problème bloquant. Donc y'a pas à se vanter d'un taux sous 100%.

Ces entreprises sont au courant du problème depuis longtemps, c'est pas la découverte. On va pas pouvoir dire qu'elles ont un problème de moyen financier. Alors on arrête de se trouver des excuses hein.

Boosts appreciated: I am working on an #accessibility wiki, because info on accessibility for #blind people is fragmented. It is not ready for public release, but I would like to invite volunteers to help me improve the site. I need to get web devs, server maintainers, moderators, writers, and whoever else would be able to contribute. Please send me a DM if you're interested.
