Can't wait to release the Loops app source code this week, we could use help improving it, especially android/react-native developers!
We have a vibrant community growing, and with more help with the app, I can focus on preparing the backend for release so people can host their own loops server!
Loops.video is a testing ground, but soon you will see other Loops servers, and hopefully more 3rd party clients.
Rust/Go/Node folks who are itching to rewrite the backend, me too, lets chat ✨

Running a `zpool scrub` on my mirrored NVMe SSDs. The image on the left is without heatsinks and the right is with heatsinks. Both graphs show a 50 minute time window.
Before installing heatsinks it took 15-20 minutes to scrub, and since, it's only 6 minutes. Perhaps the drives were thermal throttling?
Either way, €20 well-spent I'd say.

Poll result: Who loves Elon in government?
On the question of who wants "Musk to have less influence over government spending & operations," nearly half of respondants said yes.
However, "nearly three-quarters of Republicans surveyed said Musk & DOGE should have 'a lot' or 'some' influence."

The renaming of the "Gulf of Mexico" to the "Gulf of America" has nothing to do with projecting dominance or even conveying meaning. It is more like Stalinist propaganda. That was not about convincing anyone either, but about dividing people into groups. Those who repeat it – they are "your people." Those who protest against it – they are the ones you need to deal with. Those who say nothing – they don’t matter; they will stay silent on other things as well.

GNOME nemá české překladatele
Posledních minimálně 15 let byly překlady GNOME do češtiny ve výborném stavu. U každého vydání jsem jen hlásil, že je vše přeložené, poslední roky to platilo i pro drtivou většinu dokumentace. Poslední rok se to ale začalo zadrhávat. Přispěvatelé, kteří to dlouhé roky táhli, odešli a není nikdo, kdo by to po nich převzal. Proto jsme se rozhodli jít s pravdou ven: GNOME momentálně nemá české překladatele a pokud se toho neujme někdo nový, překlady začnou postupně upadat.

I mean... Seriously, fsck gitlab. I always have, and probably always will, hate this awful platform regarding it's less than stellar accessibility. No matter which OS you use, the minute you need a screen reader, you're in trouble.
It's gotten to a point that if a project use gitlab in any shape or form, I don't bother reporting issues and contributing. I don't have the spoons to deal with this anymore.
Would you prefer that YOU ARE HIDDEN on the Fediverse?
That nobody (new) ever follows you?
That nobody (new) ever sees your posts?
I KNOW THIS QUESTION SEEMS WEIRD, BUT — THERE IS A SMALL GROUP THAT IS CURRENTLY ARGUING MOST PEOPLE ON THE FEDIVERSE WANT TO BE HIDDEN IN THIS WAY
They don't represent me. And I don't think they should (even implicitly) speak for me
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HIDDEN LIKE THIS — PLEASE VOTE "NO"
Please boost for reach.
#Discoverable #Fediverse #Mastodon #NoIndex
I think this is a bit of a biased way of putting it. Specifically, I suspect very few people have a hard requirement that nobody new follows them or reads their posts (though I'm sure some exist, and this is a legitimate use case). That's different from people wanting following and their posts to be uncontrollable.
Example: I make use of follower only posts, have authorised fetch on (thanks, gotosocial!) and follow requests on. That doesn't mean I never post publically, or that I won't accept any follow reqs; it does mean I want to have some degree of control over the reach of my posts and who follows me.
And this is part of informational self-determination (habeas data, as some call it). It's essentially the grounding principle of the whole notion of protection of personal data. Privacy does not imply secrecy, it implies that one has control over the spread of one's own information. This is good, and not unreasonable as it is being portrayed.
