One kid wants burgers, the other wants a Thai curry. As a joke I searched the mash-up but of course it exists

As if a Thai red curry fried chicken burger wasn’t epic enough, we’ve gone and made a thai red curry mayo too! Crispy chicken, creamy sauce and so much flavour.Marion's Kitchen

I wonder if the rest of the Canadian fediverse realize that a Quebec mastodon server (Qlub.social) now has more active users than mstdn.ca
Wild. Qlub was featured on TVA and the Journal de Montreal (most popular medias in Quebec)
Not sure if it will last but will be fascinating to see how that will change the fediverse as the profile of users is quite different.

I get asked all the time why I made the choice more than 30 years ago to run Linux (Unix before that) instead of Windows. Here's reason number 1,000,001 that I am absolutely positive that I made the right choice all those years ago.

Dear fans of messenger comparison sports,
How does it factor in that on #deltachat there are many apps that can be used in a chat without requiring a login or even a privacy policy ... And the apps all work like cryptpad but automatically and without requiring any server side hosting?
Editing documents and checklists and calendars are all safely end-to-end encrypted without a server and anyone can write new #webxdc apps permission free.
Which other cross-platform messenger offers this?
if you like to know about all the gory details of how we isolate apps from getting at any side channels, see this discussion which also includes a security audit by Cure53 delta.chat/en/2023-05-22-webxd…
And yes, it's maybe not perfect, but it's not just yet another web view that has arbitrary access. Also, even if an app manages to break isolation, it has no access to the social graph at all. See webxdc.org/docs/spec/selfAddr_… for what is exposed to apps from the messenger side.
Delta Chat’s “web apps shared in a chat” come with a unique privacy promise but in January it was shown to be compromised. We got into a surprising struggle with Web browser sandboxing issues that ...delta.chat

Toot a photo of a computer that first arrived in the year of your birth!
(Here's mine: the IBM System/360)
Here's an Acorn Atom, released in 1980. I haven't ever used this computer myself. But neither have I used an Apple III, which is, as far as I know, the other well-known computer that came out that year... well-known for being a dud. The photo is from Wikipedia.
As I'm visually impaired, I'd appreciate a more detailed description of this image. #ALTforMe
Hi there,
working on moving old friendica sites from a shared hosting to a VPS, I ran into the following problem I can't find a solution for. This actually happens with one 2021.04 instance but not with another (anymore), so I'm crosschecking all the settings but can't find how to solve this. Both sites were installed as 2012.04 from the start:

This is Friendica, version 2021.04 that is running at the web location sub.domain.com/var/www/subdomaincom. The database version is 1413/1413, the post update version is 1400/1400.

As visible in the screen, the site also displays the following path on top of the page, and of course calls that URL:sub.domain.com/var/www/subdomaincom
Different intents to fix this by changing or deleting the following settings from the console didn't work out:
system.basepath => /var/www/domaincom
system.urlpath => /var/www/domaincom/Even more astonishing, sending the following setting with the console:/bin/console config system url https://sub.domain.com
.. the site is displayed and works as it should be for a few minutes, and than falls back into the wrong behavior, like if the worker changes something when ever the cron kicks in. In that time span I can log in and even go thru the admin settings but this setting is not available.
Intents to modify the following specifications in local.config.php didn't work out either:
'system.basepath' => '',
'url.basepath' => '',
'system.urlpath'=> '',url. and system. actually shouldn't be used at all as:'config' => [
],
'system' => [
],I found this conversation by @Hypolite Petovan on github:
Table config, cat = "system" AND key = "basepath"
and it actually looks like this is exactly te problem but I have no experience at all with mysql over CLI SSH and don't know what commands to use to delete the apparently wrong setting in the DB.
Is there a way to delete entries with bin/console?
I did manage to change some settings from there but couldn't find any hint how to "delete" an entry entirely from there:
bin/console config system basepath /
system.basepath <= /
Also, this is a btop from an 18 core machine with 256GB of RAM with the major load being friendica, a secondary load is hubzilla, mastodon, and miskey, but friendica represents more load than the latter three combined, but it also gets more traffic than the latter three combined. But what I am getting at here, you may want to consider dedicating a physical server. I'll grant you it's busier than usual as we've just returned the server to service after three months of downtime, 7 motherbords, three power supplies, and two CPU's later.

Not mentioned in the inicial post or answers as of now is the setting of /sites-available/sub.domain.com-le-ssl.conf

in reply to Mr. Bitterness • • •I mean, bypassnro.cmd just does:
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /fSo what Microsoft is saying is that they want to make it more work to install Windows without a Microsoft Account? 🤔
