I needed to understand the angles on Threads federation in a more rigorous way, so I took a few days to think through and write up my sense of the benefits, risks, and available risk mitigations, along with loopholes that need closing and questions to discuss with fediverse administrators.

This is a blisteringly hot subject for me, so it's hard to keep my head cool enough to understand other people's trade-offs, but I'm trying.

This article introduces the new L4S standard (RFC 9331) for addressing Internet congestion issues, specifically, buffers on networking devices. It appears to be a congestion notification mehcanism. Presumably it is superior to the queuing algorithms implemented on routers. My OpenWRT router, for example, offers a choice of queuing algorithm.

Strašně silná a důležitá slova studentů a studentek žurnalistiky. Jsou to právě jejich vrstevníci a mnohdy i kamarádi, kteří se stali terčem útoku.

Jsem rád, že apelují na etiku a kultivaci veřejného prostoru. Řada médií tragédii pokryla nešťastně. Jejich dopis podporuji.

I'm very pleased to announce the release of my new instrumental album, Christmas with Kelly! It features 8 tracks of traditional Christmas songs that are both relaxing and fun! The album is now available on iTunes, Spotify, and other streaming and download services. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it. An audio promo is also attached to this post. Thanks to everyone at @theglobalvoice and #TGVProductions for all the advice and encouragement.

Ok so im reading this article on Roman Glazing and slowly I begin to realise that it was written by an AI. Witness the section on “What existed before windows” where it suddenly starts talking about MS-DOS….

@Sandruska93 policajt bude, a musí, jednat. Blbý vtip se najednou nemusí úplně ukázat jako vtip a pak by to byl megaprůser. A do hlavy "vtipálkovi" nevidíš (což se ukázalo i včera).
Může se to jevit jako něco přehnaného, ale jakýkoli "vtip" na blbé téma v téhle době je projev spíš, minimálně, mentální nezralosti, než vtipnosti

This is *amazing*.
You can take an MP3 and encode it into MIDI. The results are horrifyingly mesmerising. Can you hear the vocal?

If you are planning a winter holiday, take your 'pet-pal' with you!

Thanks to the EU #PetPassport, your furry companion can join you on travels within our Union hassle-free. It looks like Yumi is ready to join you!

You can get the passport from your local vet if your pet has:

💾 been micro-chipped,
🦇 been vaccinated against rabies,
⚕️ received treatment against tapeworm (for certain countries).

Paw-tically amazing, right?
