"Disposable vapes are indefensible. Many, or maybe most, of them contain rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, but manufacturers prefer to sell new ones. More than 260 million vape batteries are estimated to enter the trash stream every year in the UK alone. Vapers and vape makers are simply leaving an e-waste epidemic to the planet's future residents to sort out."

Guy makes “dodgy e-bike” from 130 used vapes to make point about e-waste
It’s not a project for most people, but watching someone ride up to 20 miles, and up to 30 mph, on tossed-out vape batteries is transfixing.Kevin Purdy (Ars Technica)
I get this when my wife's volume exceeds the 'I'm on the phone' level and bits of her meetings ssound interesting.
I know how dull I'd find her job and have zero interest in 99% of what she talks about at work, but only catching the odd bit here and there makes me think there *could* be more to it!

If this Election Day thing is a huge success, maybe we should prepare two release versions where people can vote on?
One with increased stability and performance. One that deletes all files from previous versions and tries to occupy all memory.
We should not be making those decisions for you!

Ich suche (noch immer) nach einem neuen Job als #iOS & #macOS Entwickler in Anstellung (remote only, ich wohne in Österreich). Ich kann auf ca. 30 Jahre in der Software-Entwicklung zurückblicken, bin immer neugierig und hab eine Problemlöser-/Macher-Mentalität. #Swift, #SwiftUI, #ObjectiveC und das ganze Drumherum sind selbstverständlich.
Solltet ihr also jemanden kennen... ihr wisst schon.
Danke fürs rege Teilen, Boosten, Weitersagen etc. 🙏
Neue - nicht ganz offene - #chatmail-Instanz: Auf einem #RaspberryPi Zero 2 mit UPS und Wlan ins Handynetz für #DeltaChat
Funktioniert gut. Kosten: 54 Euro (mit "Gehäuse", teilweise noch offen), brauchte nur extra Schrauben und Abstandhalter zum Zusammenbau.
Einziger Wehrmutstropfen: Ohne dedizierte IPv4 geht es nicht, und die kostet 5,16 Euro Minimum im Monat bei Vorauszahlung für ein Jahr.
Und jetzt wird es spannend: Die Frontpage von chatmail soll eine richtige Homepage werden...
Ähm, das schließt sich im Konzept aus. Zwar können die Elemente genauso installiert werden, das Verfahren mit pyinfra ist allerdings extra auf Interoperabilität ausgelegt, braucht daher Zertifikate, die von Let's encrypt angefordert werden, und das setzt für die Acme-Challenge über http eine pingbare IP voraus.
Ich habe es über die IPv6 des Mifi-Routers probiert, der sperrt aber ICMP. Ich muss also ein VPN mit dedizierter IP nutzen (mindestens fürs Einrichten).
es gibt aber auch domain authentifizierung mit DNS Einträgen, vielleicht geht das besser um sich das Zertifikat zu holen? (braucht aber einen domain Anbieter / Name server mit api)
letsencrypt.org/docs/challenge…
Challenge Types
When you get a certificate from Let’s Encrypt, our servers validate that you control the domain names in that certificate using “challenges,” as defined by the ACME standard.letsencrypt.org
Es gibt vieles – für Nerds.
#chatmail möchte schnell, einfach und interoperabel für Fastendanwender sein.
Alles mit Tor u.a. Varietäten wären forks mit verändertem konzeptionellem Ansatz...
...nicht mehr chatmail.
Inspired by @kees and @bagder I graphed #ArkScript source code age (last 3.x version is from mid 2023 hence the big purple triangle starting in 2023)
There seems to be a lot of code, but tests are counted too.
16'540 lines for the source code only, and 12'430 for the tests (8k dedicated to the fuzzing corpus, 4k for the unit tests)
I attribute the big jump to my recent "add tests everywhere" addiction
Tags are ordered using git tag --sort=authordate instead of sorting them using semver (because I have some... questionable v3.2.0-a tags)
Ayer, en la red social mala, anunciamos desde Acción Contra el Odio que estamos preparando una denuncia contra quienes promovieron la agresión a Pedro Sánchez en Paiporta, reivindicada por grupos neonazis.

Is there anyway to customise a numbered list so that the numbers go 5,10, 15... or something similar?
The way I view this botsin.space thing:
botsin.space admin: "I'm going to quit the server. It's just getting too expensive for me".
botsin.space users: "Oh, let's move to another free instance I guess".
I'm getting more worried about this freerider mentality if we are to make this work in the long run.
Rupert Easterbrook RIP ☹️ 💀

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has put online 492,000 high-resolution images of artistic works.
Even better, the museum has placed the vast majority of these images into the public domain, meaning they can be downloaded directly from the museum’s website for non-commercial use.
When you browse the Met collection and find an image that you fancy, just look at the lower left-hand side of the image.
If you see an “OA” icon and the words “public domain”, you’re free to use the image, provided that you abide by the Met’s terms.
In making this collection available online, the Met joined other world-class museums in putting large troves of digital art online.
Witness the 88,000 images from the Getty in L.A.,
the 125,000 Dutch masterpieces from the Rijksmuseum,
the 50,000 artistic images from the National Gallery,
and the 1.9 million images from the British Museum.

As those of you who follow me unfortunately know, I track the $DJT meme stock. I'm expecting a YOOOOGE pump in the morning. It looks like it's been manipulated all along, so whether or not he goes down tomorrow, it's a last-ditch opportunity to project strength.
I think the smart money gets out of the trade by midday. If he loses, it's going to zero, so if it's clearly going badly for him, it may drop so hard that they halt trading. Again. Could be a bellwether.
RIP Quincy Jones.
Legendary music producer behind hits from Sinatra to Michael Jackson.
I know I'm alone in this, but I think "Billie Jean" was a more iconic and transformative Quincy Jones song than "Thriller." First time we saw the Michael Jackson moonwalk!

Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (Motown 25) (Remastered 4K)

The real genius of “Thriller” is that it is 4 minutes of warnings about horrible scary monsters and then bang: fooled you, all that was a clever ruse to get you to hold me tight, kiss me, I will take care of you, protect you, love you, thrill you, this is a pop song, I am the King of Pop, what were you expecting?
But Billie Jean is a perfect song. And identifiable immediately after the first kick and snare of the intro.
There’s a dirty Trump trick you need to look out for. He used it in 2020 to try to overturn the election, and he’s going to do it again. But it doesn’t work if you know it’s coming.
Watch out for Trump to exploit something elections experts call the “red mirage” to prematurely declare victory before all the votes are counted.
You see, in almost every election, Republicans appear to take an early lead. That’s the red mirage.
Then that lead gets smaller throughout… instagram.com/p/DB9oGT9py7R/?u…

🚨🚨🚨 ARIZONA VOTERS — It’s been reported that thousands of early voters in Pima County returned only the first page of their two-page ballot. This is important because Prop 139 for Abortion Access is on page 2. Please don’t make the same mistake when you vote in person. Please share with AZ folks.
