The image shows a modern workspace with a panoramic view of a cityscape in the background. A person’s hands are visible, typing on a white keyboard. There are three screens displaying futuristic digital interfaces; one is a laptop to the left, another is an Apple desktop computer in the center, and the third is a tablet to the right. The central screen displays complex data visualizations and diagrams along with an Apple logo in the center.

I think it is fair to assume that the "unrated" part has a distribution roughly like the rest, meaning that all categories grew in 2024. I think the general trend is larger volumes. Also, in my limited experience, low severity issues are not found by "automated tools" or "kiddies". They are typically hard to find as well, just with more limited effects.

I critici pro-Trump di Elon Musk affermano di essere censurati su X


I conservatori critici nei confronti di Elon Musk accusano la piattaforma da lui gestita di censurarli, riporta la CNN .
L'attivista politica Laura Loomer ha scatenato un dibattito online all'interno della destra sui visti di lavoro noti come H-1B, che Musk sostiene. Loomer ora sostiene che il suo account è stato non verificato e demonetizzato, accusando Musk di essere una "frode della libertà di parola".

I got myself a new PS5 controller and instead of doing the usual stuff that should be done with these, I decided to find out how to play audio through the enhanced haptic motors instead. Turns out it's not difficult at all, and it works surprisingly well. If you are bored and have nothing to do, I've attached a short recording where I explain my setup and demonstrate how the motors reproduce different types of audio files.

Friendica 2024.12 released

We are very happy to announce the availability of the new stable release of Friendica “Interrupted Fern” 2024.12. In addition to several improvements and new features, this release contains the fix for the broken installation wizard.

The highlights of Friendica 2024.12 are

  • added exporter for prometheus,
  • we dropped the support of OStatus (the predecessor of ActivityPub) after evaluating the amount of active servers/contacts that are still only using this protocol, and deprecated the fancybox addon
  • Friendica is now REUSE compliant and supports FEP-67ff

For details, please the CHANGELOG file in the repository.

What is Friendica


Friendica is a decentralised communications platform, you can use to host your own social media server that integrates with independent social networking platforms (like the Fediverse or Diaspora*) but also some commercial ones like Tumblr and BlueSky.

How to Update

Updating from old Friendica versions


If you are updating from an older version than the 2023.12 release, please first update your Friendica instance to that version as it contained some breaking changes.

Pre-Update Procedures


Ensure that the last backup of your Friendica installation was done recently.

Using Git


Updating from the git repositories should only involve a pull from the Friendica core repository and addons repository, regardless of the branch (stable or develop) you are using. Remember to update the dependencies with composer as well. So, assuming that you are on the stable branch, the commands to update your installation to the 2024.12 release would be
cd friendica
git pull
bin/composer.phar install --no-dev
cd addon
git pull
If you want to use a different branch than the stable one, you need to fetch and checkout the branch before your perform the git pull.

Pulling in the dependencies with composer will show some deprecation warning, we will be working on that in the upcoming release.

Using the Archive Files


Due to unforseen changes in the CI not possible at the moment.

Post Update Tasks


The database update should be applied automatically, but sometimes it gets stuck. If you encounter this, please initiate the DB update manually from the command line by running the script
bin/console dbstructure update
from the base of your Friendica installation. If the output contains any error message, please let us know using the channels mentioned below.

Please note, that some of the changes to the database structure will take some time to be applied, depending on the size of your Friendica database this update might run for days.

Known Issues


At the time of writing this, none with 2024.12

But the development branch is currently rather unstable and should be used with caution as the development diverged far (for Friendica terms) from the now stable branch. We will let our very valued ALPHA testers when the dev team things that the development branch is stable enough again.

How to Contribute


If you want to contribute to the project, you don’t need to have coding experience. There are a number of tasks listed in the issue tracker with the label “Junior Jobs” we think are good for new contributors. But you are by no means limited to these – if you find a solution to a problem (even a new one) please make a pull request at github or let us know in the development forum.

Contribution to Friendica is also not limited to coding. Any contribution to the documentation, the translation or advertisement materials is welcome or reporting a problem. You don’t need to deal with Git(Hub) or Transifex if you don’t like to. Just get in touch with us and we will get the materials to the appropriate places.

Thanks everyone who helped making this release possible, and especially to all the new contributors to Friendica, and have fun!

Na das hört sich doch schon mal prima an. :thumbs up:
Wenn du eine Einzeluserinstanz betreibst, dann würde ich empfehlen, das eine oder andere Relay hinzuzufügen. Dann füllt sich auch schneller die Timeline.
Allerdings geht das tatsächlich nur über die Console. Aber ich glaube, du kannst dich bei Docker auch in der Konsole anmelden, oder? Wenn ja, dann siehe hier: wiki.friendi.ca/docs/initicalc…

@RaccoonForFriendica version 0.4.0-beta05 available for testing!

This is mainly a maintenance/bugfix release with no brand new features, just:
- chore(l10n): translation updates;
- fix(10n): format specifier used in hashtag list;
- chore(qa): add more unit tests;
- chore: add mentions of new contributors.

I'm setting up the process to be able to distribute the app on Google Play too. If you are willing to help, we need a minimum number of people to participate in the closed testing program for two weeks before releasing to production. To enroll, first join this group with the same email address you are going to use on Google Play, then download the app using this invitation link.

Any help is highly appreciated! #livefasteatrash

Looks like the changes in the world force curl to adapt, but the nice thing is curl has a stable API and CLI, which means the disruption doesn't propagate further.

No matter how much the world changes, you can still use the latest curl the same way you used an older version of curl. And I think that's valuable.
