Human composting should be a third option after burial and cremation.

My wife, Tui Davidson, spent her volunteer energy to provide a not-for-profit funeral service for Canberra. Five years later, they are a successful operation.

On Thursday, I was honoured and proud to attend her graduation from a social entrepreneur course called GRIST from Mill House Ventures. Earthly Remains is her human composting initiative and, as well as working with partners to develop the technology, she is lobbying the ACT government to create legislation to allow it, as 13 US states have done.

The GRIST program supported the creation of a short video which explains it better than I can.

She is also looking to collect data about community attitudes and would appreciate your input on a survey found at the website below.

This fun little test scene is using #SVG textPath elements to make an arching caterpillar, some bees, and a trail of ants coming out of an anthill. Except all the bugs are made out of #braille that spells out the type of bug it's making up. Using the Braille36 Tiger font and using Unicode Braille Pattern characters for the braille itself to be visifle and embossable. It's really fun reading the braille in a non-standard way around the paper! #Blind #TactileGraphics #BlindSVG
A leaf made out of grey outlines and a stem is in the center of the drawing. On top of the leaf, the braille characters spelling out "caterpillar" are arched mimicking the body posture of a caterpillar inching along. An anthill is at the bottom of the drawing, with a line of braille ants coming out of it and marching down the side and along the ground. Two braille bees are in the upper right and lower right areas of the drawing, flying in different angles.

I find myself really irked by the headline here. The problem is not a "simple website bug", the problem is that they wrote thousands of lines of code without ever thinking about what the trust boundaries are, or should be.

This is a massive design flaw. The idea that cars should be controllable from some mothership is bizarre (and not needed for app control - have a digital signature from the mobile device). The idea that cars are enrolled even if the user didn't set up an account is similarly broken. This isn't a "simple website bug" but a massive failure to consider the security implications of features.

If you want to, you can set your Mastodon account to automatically delete your own posts after a certain time period (for example posts older than 90 days). You can also set it to retain certain types of posts even after the period has elapsed.

There is a step-by-step guide about how to use this feature at:

➡️ fedi.tips/deleting-posts-autom…

The guide also answers lots of questions including why deletions sometimes get delayed, and whether auto-deletion stresses server resources.

I noticed that this problem also happens to me when I send friend requests

Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS
Friendica version 2024.08
mariadb Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.11.8-MariaDB, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper

As you can see from the screenshot there are many mysql processes , /usr/bin/mariadbd , and the CPU is at 100%

Some help please...

Thanks
Cheers

Anomaly ☑️

Hi @Michael Vogel
I tried to change my configuration /etc/mysql/my.cnf I added

[mysqld]

join_buffer_size = 2M
innodb_log_file_size = 1G
tmp_table_size = 512M
max_heap_table_size = 512M
wait_timeout = 60
max_connections = 500
skip-name-resolve
query_cache_size=64M
innodb_buffer_pool_size=4600M
key_buffer_size=1G
innodb_file_per_table=1
innodb_log_buffer_size=212M
innodb_buffer_pool_instances=5
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1
innodb_flush_method = O_DIRECT
open_files_limit=40000
table_open_cache=2200
wait_timeout=28800
interactive_timeout=28800
max_connections=1000

This is the current configuration,I made small changes at a time, but the problem is the same (Bad Gateway Error 502), with the other configurations I had little RAM usage but the CPU was at 100% .

It could be an inefficient/Slow query? 🙄

#PSA #PayPal is changing their privacy statement/terms of service starting November so that they can sell your information to merchants.

You CAN opt out, but you have to do it before they start:

Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off

ETA: this is probably country specific, due to differing privacy laws.

You can try privacy>settings>recommendations

Check replies, people have found the same toggle under a different header.

screenshot of the Amendments to the PayPay privacy statement, effective November 27, 2024, which basically says they'll be selling your information to merchants starting on that day, unless you opt out or live in California, North Dakota or Vermont, where they can't opt you in themselves.

¿Apoyar la creación de un impuesto europeo sobre las grandes fortunas? Dónde hay que firmar? Aquí :ablobjam: tax-the-rich.es/

No hace falta firma digital, con número dni también. Y es una iniciativa oficial a nivel europeo, no un change.org

Joer, me ha llevado menos de 60 segundos y lo había retooteado muchas veces y aún no lo había firmado

Faltan pocos días y aún no se ha llegado al mínimo. No hagáis como yo y retooteis sin haber firmado antes, son 40 segundos 😅

#taxtherich

Segundo paso: un formulario que solo te pide nombre, dni, nación y un captcha
Y ya está! El tercer paso es la confirmación de firma recibida
Captura del primer paso del formulario en el que eliges firma digital o microformulario
Texto reunirnos que esto es una iniciativa ciudadana europea y en lo que consiste este instrumento
