Welcome to the RB family, Omni 🥳
apt.izzysoft.de/packages/uk.ak…
Omni is a toolbox offering you compass, barometer, ruler and more.
I made it very clear when I went out to talk to the builders that I don't blame them, they're just here to do a job and don't know who's house it is, but I do blame the higher-ups for being so damn lackadaisical as to not let us know properly. They could have been anyone. Burglars. I feel extremely on-edge as a result.

My #GoToSocial backup procedure:
This runs as a cron job every day at an off-peak hour. Do bear in mind that both the sqlite backup, which takes place while GTS is running and therefore must handle locks, and xz, take up a lot of CPU power.
#!/bin/bash
umask 027
now0="$(date +'%F %T')"
printf "%s: Starting backup.\n" "$now0"
cd /home/gts/gts || { printf "Impossible to backup. Cannot access directory.\n"; exit; }
mv --backup=numbered instance.back.tar.xz db-backups
printf "Backing up database.\n"
sqlite3 sqlite.db ".backup 'sqlite.db.back'"
printf "Preparing file list.\n"
echo sqlite.db.back > file.list
echo config.yaml >> file.list

Umberto Eco Explains the Poetic Power of Charles Schulz’s Peanuts
Just over 30 years ago, Umberto Eco wrote an essay in the New York Review of Books about what made that strip one of the most, if not the most compelling of the twentieth century.Colin Marshall (Openculture.com)
Other than not funding them, and putting shame-pressure on them, is there anything one can do about the FSF?
If the FSF got dissolved, what happens to the copyrighted code that it owns / that has been assigned to it?
You are right that this identifies a huge "bus factor" for all FSF-stewarded projects. Anyone who works in operating systems knows how fundamental many of these pieces are. A few things could happen.
Option 1: The ongoing work to Rust-ify everything is accelerated. A new surge of energy appears to move to a Rust future.
Option 2: Good Person(s) Scenario. FSF gracefully hands over copyright ownership to a responsible steward.
Option 3: Bad Person(s) Scenario. S***show.
I went through the FSF copyright assignment process once (for some automake patches). From memory, there were some conditions attached to the assignment related to how the FSF would license the code.
If the FSF dissolved and the copyrights transferred to a successor org, I assume those promises would also transfer with it. It's possible that they might be able to relicense the code under a more permissive free software license, but they couldn't sell commercial licenses to the code.

Beyond Death
Most of us have no idea what will happen when we die. But some people were actually declared dead and came back with remarkable stories—like meeting dead relatives. Science is now beginning to tell us what happens in near-death experiences.To The Best Of Our Knowledge
I think part of the reason why Mastodon fails for me is because it offers far too much control to users over what they see. I think this creates insular communities where reach is limited and opinions go unchallenged because that makes people uncomfortable.
If BLM / George Floyd happened on Mastodon instead of other social media, I do not think that change would've occurred because either people would mute the tags or words, or admins would ban profiles talking about it (because Masto is white)
My peeps, we are hiring. I've been at Coda for nearly a year and genuinely look forward to work every day. I get to work on the cool projects I want, with smart, kind people who enjoy what they're doing. And now we can use more help in our security department.
We're looking for a 100% remote (in the US, due to compliance obligations) security engineer. Downside: you have to see me all the time. More info at job-boards.greenhouse.io/coda/…
If this looks interesting, please hit me up for the details.
