FediMeta, FediNuke blocklist

FediNuke/tier0.csv transparency update:

Added some new bias sources to replace a removed one, and increased the consensus requirement. This caused some removals.

No new instances added to FediNuke. Two dead instances removed:

  • noagendasocial.nl
  • theapex.social

Removed 16 dead instances from my larger tier0.csv list. After these changes, another 9 instances failed to meet the consensus requirement for inclusion without overrides. I used my override process to add back 5 that were of sufficient severity. See more about my override process: I can force-add instances that almost have the minimum consensus requirement, with minimal overhead.

Hey, those of you on mstdn.social - @stux runs this server and it's literally just him. You may not see his Announcements.

He's short a few hundred euro's on the server bills this month.

Please - contribute to help cover your costs.

This is not a big company service. It's not a Twitter or Facebook. It's costing a person money for you to use.

Please - pay some money to cover your costs. It's the fair thing to do.

Thank you.

You may not be aware of the economics of Mastodon if you're used to Twitter, or Insta, or Facebook.

Please - go look at the /about page for whatever server you're on, and see who's running it and now to contribute, financially.

You are not the product on Mastdon. Your information is not being sold to other companies or advertisers. So your activity here *costs the person running your service money*. It's often a person, not company.

If you value Mastodon, and you can, please cover your cost.

Well, I need to close Mastodon down for a bit, but before I go, something I know everyone will enjoy and keep you in good spirits. Bye bye for now. youtube.com/watch?v=ybJ6fS7ruu…

Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repos :awesome:

I wonder who thought it would be a good idea to use a separate circuit breaker per socket but then wire three of them under one shared RCD so that (much more common) earthing fault in one socket will disconnect a group of three.

Putting there 6 two-pole circuit breaker/RCD combinations would take exactly the same space, provide full separation between outlets and would cost only a few euros more.

So this time round with Covid, I am streaming buckets of sweat. And the headache is pounding like the drums inPeggy Sue (Song by Buddy Holly).
Wondering if I can risk £12 on a book. I don't normally spend that much on authors I don't know but it looks like an interesting sci-fi story.

After the building's drain was finally unclogged yesterday, I noticed my siphon (P-trap) cleanout cap threading is imperfect, and water was slowly dripping out of it.

After cleaning the threading with a soapy toothbrush, I wrapped teflon tape (6 rounds, in the direction where you screw the cap on) on the thread, and used a Sharpie® to annotate my servicing technique (tool & rotation direction).

Forget pliers, use a jar opener; no excessive force, no damage.

This post got like 500 boosts and now all these computer people want to talk about package management so I think it's important to take a moment and show the new followers what I really care about: butts

research shows that computers are consistently better at solving captchas than humans are, but because everything has to scale infinitely people are proposing verifiable credentials stored on blockchains:

Inspired by T.V. Raman's latest blog post on Emacspeak, I have started updating my Emacs configuration and exploring the new Emacs packages now supported by Emacspeak. It has become clear that the best solution is to recreate my Emacs configuration from the beginning - slower, but sufficient to get rid of all the old and outdated code that had accumulated.

Last night Organic Maps was removed from the Play Store without any warnings or additional details due to "not meeting the requirements for the Family Program". Compared to Google Maps and other maps apps rated for 3+ age, there are no ads or in-app purchases, and no user information is collected in Organic Maps. We have asked for an appeal.

As a temporary workaround you can install the upcoming Google Play update from this link: cdn.organicmaps.app/apk/Organi…

This APK should work with Android Auto.

This is why friends don't let friends buy app-controlled (or internet of things connected) domestic appliances.

It's always an excuse to up-sell you shit you don't need, and when that fails, the owners (not you, the corporations!) will jack up the rent.
