Hey, going to #FOSDEM this weekend but already in Belgium on Thursday evening?
(and you're cool with carrying boxes around)
We still need volunteers to help with van loading at the fosdem hq (not at the campus itself):
volunteers.fosdem.org/task/162…
And in general can use more volunteers for other tasks as well:
Jabboratory has its own website at Codeberg pages now 🎉
jabboratory.codeberg.page/
Jabboratory is a safe space that develops XMPP and the Jabber network.
We do:
- write XMPP protocols, UI/UX guidelines, implementation guidelines
- Help XMPP implementations socially and technically, old and new
- involve, empower and remove any roadblocks for people to have their voice heard and directly change things in implementations they use or servers
- improve the Jabber network culture
and a lot more..
Our tech-free lounge is open to anyone that wants to be part of the conversation 😃

Нямаме пънкари, които да пеят срещу властта.
Нямаме комедианти, които да oсмиват властта.
Нямаме преса, която да показва кирливите ризи на властта.
Нямаме образовани хора, които да разберат, че трябва да ги имаме.

#FOSDEM question, please!
I would like to obtain some t-shirts from various projects. I expect to pay/donate for these.
Is it mainly:
* cash
* card payments
* donate online
* something else
please
?
Gibt es in/für #Thüringen einen #Matrix Homeserver, den man gemeinnützigen Initiativen, Vereinen, Selbsthilfegruppen, Nachbarschaftshilfen etc. empfehlen kann?
Vielleicht weiß der @qbi@freie-re.de da etwas?
Wünsche mir eine Aktionswoche, bei der alle Bilder (ohne Bildbeschreibungen) automatisch in einfarbige Kacheln verwandelt & alle Videos (ohne Untertitel) tonlos abgespielt werden.
Wie schnell die Nicht-Behinderten, die diese Barrierefreiheit für unwesentlich halten, dann realisieren würden, dass sie in viel zu vielen Fällen nichts mehr sehen & hören, nichts erkennen & verstehen, nichts einordnen & nicht teilhaben können, wäre wirklich spannend. Und die Reaktionen erst …
Totgesagt? Keineswegs. Rund um Jabber (XMPP) gibt es nach wie vor eine erstaunlich engagierte Community. Der Digital Independence Day hat ordentlich Bewegung reingebracht: Innerhalb nur einer Woche entstanden Info-Folder in drei Sprachen – komplett layoutet von @digitalcourage. Deutsch und Englisch wurden noch rechtzeitig zur FOSDEM gedruckt, Französisch folgte als PDF. Ja, ein paar kleine Fehler sind noch drin – Version 2 kommt asap. Die Folder gibt’s im Digitalcourage-Shop: shop.digitalcourage.de

Just noticed the new friendica version has been released 
. See github.com/friendica/friendica…
For u3a.social I'll be doing an upgrade on a test instance as soon as I can and then plan for the live upgrade (I'll also want to switch to native rather than docker database).
The nice thing about test upgrades is you get to test your backups !

Look, if I open that door too soon, the molecular structure of the body will break down, and poor old Stengos will turn into a pool of high-protein water. Even if I were confident I could reconstitute it, we do not have a suitable vessel into which it could be ladled.

Die #PSOE und #Podemos haben sich auf eine außerordentliche Legalisierung des Aufenthalts von Einwanderern geeinigt, von der mehr als 500.000 Ausländer profitieren, die sich illegal in Spanien aufhalten.
Mit dieser Maßnahme stellt sich #Spanien wieder gegen die Entwicklung in #Europa, wo die meisten Länder ihre #Migrationspolitik verschärfen.

Wenn WhatsApp dann bald kostenpflichtig wird, um Werbung zu entgehen, dann kommt wohl die Zeit, dass @signalapp eine finanzielle Zuwendung bekommt.
Bei @libreoffice von @tdforg hab ich es jetzt auch gemacht. Nachdem mein Office-Abo verlängert werden hätte können hab ich das beendet und bin jetzt Libreoffice-Nutzer und unterstütze die jetzt, statt Microsoft.
Jetzt fehlt nur noch etwas Zeit zum Umstellen meines Computers von Windows auf eine Linux-Instanz.

Gracias a los colectivos de apoyo a la población migrante, a los impulsores de la ILP de regularización y a las muchas fuerzas políticas que han trabajado por esta regularización extraordinaria.
Victoria de todas y todos. 💪🏻
Todas las personas por fin con plenitud de derechos.
I'm trying not to post "surprised pikachu face" memes about all of the people discovering that tiktok is now censoring coverage of protests, and mentions of Epstein.
And I'm watching as everyone tramples over to Yet Another Corporate Platform where the same thing will happen in a few dozen months.
Ya'll need to get out for real.
Or at least have a backup that doesn't run on OPP (Other People's Platforms)
I started a documentation repo for #FOSDEM advise - for new and old visitors, attendees and speakers. I figure we can crowdsource it so bring your pull-requests. I will greatly appreciate help.
If not, I will populate it myself slowly over time but it won't be as good.

Как выглядел лондонский диалект на бумаге 1000 лет назад?
Воззвание Генриха III на среднеанглийском языке от 18 октября 1258 года.
Этот текст считается самым ранним свидетельством лондонского диалекта. Оригинальная орфография сохранена.
Henri, þurȝ Godes fultume King on Engleneloande, Lhoauerd on Yrloande, Duk on Normandi, on Aquitaine, and Eorl on Aniow, send igretinge to alle hise holde, ilærde and ileawede on Huntendoneschire.

Воззвание Генриха III на среднеанглийском языке от 18 октября 1258 года.
Перевод:
Генрих, с Божьей помощью король Англии, лорд Ирландии, герцог Нормандии, Аквитании и граф Анжуйский, посылает приветствие всем своим верным — учёным и простым людям в Хантингдоншире.
Да будет вам всем хорошо известно, что мы желаем и признаём законным всё то, что наши советники, или большая их часть, которые были избраны нами и народом нашего королевства, сделали и будут делать во славу Божью и по нашей верности ради блага страны. По распоряжению вышеупомянутых советников это должно быть твёрдо установлено и неизменно во всём и навсегда.

Hi, The public share link has been removed with the 3.15 client version. Could it be possible to bring back this feature ? Below, a screen from a right click on a folder/file with the 3.14.3 client...SebjuFrab (GitHub)
RE: infosec.exchange/@briankrebs/1…
I'm glad I visited the U.S. a year ago because I won't be able to anytime soon.
We knew this was coming, but now the clock is running. From Privacy International:"Yesterday the Trump Administration announced a proposed change in policy for travellers to the U.S. It applies to the powers of data collection by the Customs and Border Police (CBP)."
"If the proposed changes are adopted after the 60-day consultation, then millions of travellers to the U.S. will be forced to use a U.S. government mobile phone app, submit their social media from the last five years and email addresses used in the last ten years, including of family members. They’re also proposing the collection of DNA."
PI linked to and summarized a Federal Register entry describing the proposed requirements:
-All visitors must submit ‘their social media from the last 5 years’
-ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) applications will include ‘high value data fields’, ‘when feasible’
‘telephone numbers used in the last five years’
-‘email addresses used in the last ten years’
-‘family number telephone numbers (sic) used in the last five years’
-biometrics – face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris
-business telephone numbers used in the last five years
-business email addresses used in the last ten years.privacyinternational.org/news-…
The Federal Register entry says comments are encouraged and
must be submitted (no later than February 9, 2026) to be assured of consideration.Federal Register entry: govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-202…

Dění ve Spojených státech mě děsí s každým dnem víc a víc. Vzdáleně vím o pár lidech ze zranitelných skupin, co odtamtud během posledních dvou let odešli - pár z nich do Evropy, potažmo EU - a čím dál víc se bojím, že to někteří další už nestihnou.
Hrozně moc doufám, že Evropa zůstane sjednocená, a nebude tímhle směrem sklouzávat, jakože některé státy už mají bohužel trochu našlápnuto 🙁
We are planning another #curl distro meeting this year, after the previous years' successful and productive gatherings.
It is a video meeting with peeps from the curl project meeting and talking with curl maintainers from "distros" shipping curl. And we don't specify what a distro is - as everyone is welcome.
This is very much work in progress - if you have ideas and proposals for agenda items, add them!

Today in 1948, 78 years ago: the first magnetic tape recorder goes on sale in the United States.

Are there any "case studies" of whole communities moving to the fediverse, similar to the Forkiverse?
I'm thinking about writing a version of my article stefanbohacek.com/blog/fediver… and aim it at community organizers.

Things I have learned to do to a guitar either via an instructor or sheet music:
Golpe: tapping the soundboard with your fingernail
Slap harmonic: Literally hammering the 12th fret with your picking hand
Bending the neck forward or backward
Scraping the string lengthwise
Capirote: flicking the edge of the sound hole
Rapping the soundboard or side with a knuckle
They’re like, here is your precious musical instrument, now go beat the shit out of it

I know your intention isn't/wasn't to make this a foobar or winamp replacement, but damn, I could almost use this cute little thing as one! Plugin support would be hard, though. meep!
The internet connection here has been somewhat flaky the last couple of days, possibly weather-related, so I've been pretty much exclusively using AT&T mobile data, as it's more reliable than the fiber ISP. Go figure.
With two bars of signal, I'm getting around 450 Mb/sec down, anywhere between 7 and 22 Mb/sec up.
Tonight, I connected my iPhone 16 Pro to one of the USB-C ports of my Mac to use my phone as a wired hotspot, and I noticed lots of jitter, packet loss, and very high latency that I wasn't seeing either on the device itself, or when using it as a WiFi hotspot.
I'd think a direct connection would be better, but apparently not.
