#PSA: if you have a small business that ships items, consider not using Uline: the owner uses the company's profits to fund right wing anti-democratic causes.

And, because you still need to ship your product, here's a good resource to replace them:

#PSA: remember never to sign up for a new Patreon through the Apple app store--starting November 1, 2024, Apple will take a bite out of every Patreon subscription done through their app store.

Go to the website using a browser, so that more money goes to the person you are supporting (Patreon is already taking a large bite of that pie as it is)

Ug. I didn't think I'd struggle to stick with a Mastodon instance, but seriously... Doctor Who...

I might need to pull out my super long scarf and create a second one over there

in reply to Richie

Hmm, not written by Russel T, right? Also, i can't see the Doctor as a female. Sorry not sorry. LOL.
in reply to Мира🇧🇬🇭🇺

@tardis I had no problem with the doctor being female. With so much genetic randomisation during regeneration, it should have happened before it did
in reply to Richie

Meh, I just. Don't see him as one but, yeah. Just the concept I have in my head. also the Doctor helps with broken hearts, and was very helpful years ago. I don't remember most stuff I listened to, but that's why I am re-listening now. and I am re-watching. But I have no one to watch the series with and laugh with, so it can get a bit boring to be me and myself, and more of me and myself.
in reply to Richie

I like Martha though. Was kind of cool. Which reminds me, any favourite soundtracks you have?


has anyone here been successful at installing & configuring #Stardewvalley via #steam with #Jaws2025? I'd love to play it but can't figure out how to access my steam account at the moment. Do I enter my email or username? Also, it seems to default to Chinese, but I speak English & can't find a way to change the language setting. Any tips or advice?
in reply to Jessica Dail

Yeah, I have it on my Windows. What I'd advice is, get NVDA, and a translate addon, then change the language. If that does not work, then you have to deal with the registry monster. It wants you to enter your steam username. For example, mine is SuperDragon0719 and then password. I also think usernames are case-sensitive. You might want to find some articles or guides on how you should fix the language screw up that Steam likes doing. I will try to look for some, and get back to you on that, but still working, so I am not much help at the moment. I can also help with mods installation, but instructions are fairly simple. Downloading them is the deal that makes it complicated.


Just saved a small fortune on Christmas cards by discussing the election on Facebook.


PSA your subscription dollars to Spotify go directly to supporting the convicted criminal that is running for President to turn the US into a fascist state.

The best time to cancel it was when signed in that fascism promoter. The second best time is now.

PSA your Tesla also finances fascism in America.

Today's the day we find out how truly unhinged this country is.


We’re brainstorming ideas for the Holidays. We’ve been once again honored to be engaged by Vancouver’s Vocal Eye to be part of their Almost Live Holiday Zoom event. What Holiday visuals have you always wanted to understand better? Characters? Places? Decoration styles? Holiday traditions that you didn’t grow up with but would like to understand better? Help us brainstorm a description-rich holiday extravaganza.


"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."

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!


Good luck with your IQ test today America!

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.

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...

in reply to Daleth Hausmeister

Man müsste mal ausprobieren ob sich #chatmail als #tor hidden service aufsetzen lässt, ich könnte mir vorstellen dass man da weder ip noch domain braucht. Die Nutzenden bräuchten nur zusätzlich tor. Wenn das gut funktioniert könnten wir mal nen experimentellen fork machen von #deltachat der #tor Arti (rust implementation) schon eingebaut hat. 🤔
in reply to treefit

@treefit

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).

in reply to Daleth Hausmeister

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…

in reply to treefit

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.

This entry was edited (1 day ago)
in reply to Daleth Hausmeister

richtig, tor/onion chatmail wäre (ohne Mehraufwand) nur mit anderen tor/onion chatmail "nodes" kompatibel. Aber dafür müsste man weder offene IP haben noch domain mieten. Also durchaus interessant, nicht zuletzt auch weil tor noch eine weitere ebene von Anonymität & Sicherheit mit sich bringt. Ist halt nur chat, nicht mehr email.

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

in reply to daniel:// stenberg://

tweaked the script a bit and this was the answer: vX.Y.Z-something tags are ignored (I've been tagging v4.0.0-rcX for more than a year now), leading to missing data points
Tags are ordered using git tag --sort=authordate instead of sorting them using semver (because I have some... questionable v3.2.0-a tags)

In a tiny step away from Microsoft and Office, today I managed to convince my sister to install and use @libreoffice since she couldn’t log in to her company Microsoft account and was unable to use Word. I don’t know how long this will last for but I have a feeling that her IT skills mean it might be a while before she is logged in again so fingers crossed! It would give me a great amount of pleasure if our company dropped Office entirely.


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.

in reply to modulux

@modulux I'm not entirely clear on how well it scales tbh. I assumed it is optimised given that the flagship instance is positively huge compared to all other instances. Probably I'm wrong.
in reply to Emil Jacobs - Collectifission

It scales comparatively badly. I mean, you can make it scale by throwing massive resources to it, but Mastodon is well-known for being one of the heavier AP impls out there.

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.
