A while ago I received an email with this question. I've been subscribed to your weekly newsletter for a while now, receiving your weekly updates every Friday. I'm writing because I admire your consistency, focus, and perseverance.
I use curl every single day, sometimes hundreds of calls. it's my database interface more than a "web" one because interestingly lots of database have nowadays an http interface. curl is embedded in my tests and checks to blackbox test my http-based API. I debug half of the infrastructure I'm responsible for with curl. (the other half is kubectl 😂)
basically my bash history is made of curl, jq, kubectl ;)
This is such a great blog post. This is so humanizing and approachable. Lots of bits in there that so many feel and go through themselves with their own "things" or projects. Have a great Sunday afternoon!
I obviously have the authority to speak on behalf of every inhabitant of planet Earth that uses a computer when I say "Thank You for curl." We all appreciate it, what it enables, what it is.
Even those people who don't know what curl is appreciate that stuff works because of the magic inside, and part of that is your magic.
Nová verze Mastodonu dělá z adresáře profilů mnohem použitelnější záležitost, než tomu bylo doposud.
Místo neustálého načítání stránky s delším a delším krokem je nyní k dispozici postupné načítání přes možnost "Načíst více".
Pokud tedy nahoře nastavíte volby "Nově příchozí" a "Pouze ze zpravobot.news", můžete poměrně elegantně projít celý adresář a vybrat si, který ze zprávobotíků chcete sledovat.

in order for it to be a podcast it needs to be available for podcatchers (podcast subscription and listening applications). Where can I find the RSS feed with the podcasting tags? I have searched for it on the Apple directory (the directory most of these applications use to search for podcast feeds) using my podcatcher, and couldn't find it.
I Should Be Able to Mute America
"There he was, pushing back against the American sensibilities that crawl their way into every last crevice of the internet, despite the platform, the users, and the algorithms insistence that he bend to them.
This update has a LOT of changes and fixes in it! I think I got in everything everyone who gave me feedback asked for (check the README file "Changelog" section for details). Lots of attention paid to making buttons, tabs, and drop-down appearance consistent, and lots of new CSS variables for customization plus a new option for customizing Bookface (more on that in a moment).
Bookface 1.8 has been tested with both the current stable 2024.12 and 2025.7 Release Candidate versions.
The most obvious change you'll probably notice is that the responses below posts and comments now look completely different:
And below an Event Post:
If multiple people engaged with the post in a certain way you no longer have to click the count to see the list, it's a popover that appears on hover (active on touch devices). This is a lot cleaner and more consistent with how these are displayed on other social media platforms.
You'll also notice that the Main Menu missing icons are in place. This is a change that's coming in the next Friendica release anyway, but Bookface lets you have it right now:
Someone specifically asked whether the main navigation buttons could have labels on them:
I didn't turn it on by default, but nav button labels are now coded into Bookface and if you're using CSS variable customization they're easy to turn on:
:root {
--show-navbar-labels: block;
}
The label text is also customizable. Until now the only way to implement such customizations was either for a server admin to manually put them into the header or footer sitewide or for individual users to put them in a user content stylesheet just for your web browser. That's why I'm also releasing a new Friendica addon called "Bookface Custom" that, if your server admin installs it, allows you to customized every one of the Bookface CSS variables to your heart's content.
Oh, and it's a little thing, but if you did bother to go the trouble of self-verifying your account I restyled the "verified checkmark" in the profile aside 😉:
Good work! I updated Bookface for Friendica.World.
One remark, when trying to write this comment, I tried clicking the 'comment' icon, moving the mouse from below. The new popup for the list of people that liked the post, blocked the comment button. I don't know if there's a solution for this..
Yes, I was concerned about that but couldn't come up with a decent solution to prevent it. I thought about using negative margins and padding to swap the positions of the Action Buttons and Responses, but making that work across all screen sizes and for both regular posts and event posts is tricky. The popup list would still be triggered by a mouseover but at least it wouldn't cover the Action Button. I'll keep playing with it and see if I can get it to work consistently. I can always revert it to the way it was in a future release if this turns out to be too much of a usability issue.
Main branch updated to 1.8.1 to fix "Notices" navbar label not using CSS variable. Not an issue for anyone who isn't using Navbar Labels, which are not enabled by default.
If you don't want to wait for the next release the Main branch should always be the most current as people point out things to me and I fix them on GitLab (which should automatically get mirrored to the GitHub repo).
@Random Penguin This theme's quite cool, really admire it. One thing however:
On my desktops, this double navigation takes way more space than in other themes. Would it be possible, for smaller displays, to somehow merge them into one menu line, or does that require more in-depth changes?
I agree that it does take up a lot of space, because I made the icons larger and added more white space for a cleaner, more modern look. Everything in Frio is too tiny and compact and cluttered. It doesn't help that Friendica just has a LOT of controls. Too many IMO. It's kind of overwhelming to new users.
For smaller displays when you get below 768 pixels wide it engages the mobile interface. There's some overlap between desktop and tablet landscape making it impossible to discern which it is, and for most tablets in portrait I chose to display a compact version of the desktop bars to keep the position of controls consistent if you change tablet orientation.
It is technically possible to merge the two bars into one (actually make them 50% screen width and positioned seamlessly side-by-side) for really wide screens, but there's just too much stuff there to do that for a smaller screen. And the sub-section words in the second toolbar can be really short in some languages or really long in others.
You could try zooming in until the mobile interface kicks in. Though it doesn't really save that much space as there are still two toolbars, they just aren't both at the top.

Even if they go back on that, it’s proof enough that they can not be trusted. Not now, not ever. No critical piece of a system should rely on people who believe in the LLM illusion.
Sadly all of ./play.it infrastructure is currently relying on rsyslog for centralised logging management. If you use something else, and are happy with it, suggestions are welcome.
Right now our top candidates for a replacement are: - syslogd, the original one - syslog-ng (it seems powerful, but its documentation is awful)
Our needs are very basic, mostly we want to be able to tell the logging system to store logs in specific paths based on the process name, like sending rspamd logs to /var/log/mail/rspamd.log or unbound logs to /var/log/network/unbound.log.
Logs rotation is already handled by logrotate, so we do not need the syslog daemon to include the ability to handle that itself.
Being packaged in Debian is a non-negotiable requirement.
After 24 months of focused evaluation and careful experimentation, we’re excited to announce a major shift in the evolution of rsyslog: we’re going AI First.
Have a little free, hard-earned advice from someone who lived in West Texas for a great many years: yes, it is smart to carry water with you when you're out & about on hot days BUT no, that does not mean you have to look like some sort of boring square.

* If you don't have a changeover after midnight then that only counts as one travel day instead of 2 * but somehow this does not work on the last day of the pass? ("Note: you cannot use your Eurail Pass to take a night train on your last travel day as the validity period will expire at 23:59.")
The second part is oddly confusing to me right now. Can someone confirm/explain that?
I have no insight, but I think this definition of "travel day" only affects the Flexi Pass.
In order to use the trains, you must satisfy two conditions:
• Today is a travel day; and • Your card is valid.
The boundaries of a travel day are defined by local midnight, but extend to encompass a train ride started near the end of a travel day. (This means you don't get 'charged' two travel days for one train ride.) This does not affect your card's validity.
Let's say you buy "7 days in a month", that month ends at 23:59 the last day. E.g. July 13 --> August 12 23:59.
i.e. the #interrail pass is not valid anymore after that time. After 23:59 on August 12 it expires.
You have to be home before 23:59 (scheduled time) on the last day of validity period. Night trains are practically impossible on the last day of _validity_, regardless of how many _travel_days_ you have left.
If you take photos of ducks when the weather is too cold you can look at them when it is too hot, and vice versa, to try to trick yourself into feeling less hot/cold. It doesn't work, but you get to look at pictures of ducks.
I did it! Today I switched from #Windows 10 to #Ubuntu on my Surface Pro and it mostly works. I still have to work out a few kinks, but I'm really happy. I also managed quite a feat at work and, thanks to a random internet person, learned that there's something called PMDD. Overall, it was a pretty successful day.
open source maintainers, i encourage you to follow daniel’s wonderful example here.

quería compartir el trabajo de Jes and Cin Wibowo, par de artistas gemelas idénticas de Indonesia que —entre muchas de las cosas que hacen— de repente hacen pequeñas historias de Superman y Lois Lane. Sus versiones de estos personajes son geniales, muy interesantes, frescas. Le aportan cosas nuevas y cercanas al mundo de Superman, mientras mantienen su estilo propio. Una maravilla. No tienen Mastodon, así que les comparto su IG para que lo exploren un poco. #superman

One of the most common forms of racism and hate in the fedi is hyper focus on Black and Brown folks to ignore or cover for hateful behavior.
My work has exposed me to some truly disgusting behavior on the fedi. There are actual bad people who have committed themselves to harmful and really gross dehumanizing behavior. Just the other day, I had to deal with a white nationalist trying to gaslight me into thinking they were ‘reasonable.’
I find there is an overemphasis on policing the timelines of Black and Brown folks to ignore or even protect the actual perpetuators of harm in this space.
There is an expectation constantly being projected onto Black and Brown folks to be perfect in every action and thought we have in this space to be ‘worthy’ of civility that is not applied to any other group of people, especially white folks.
This, of course, is a pillar of white supremacy culture.
This page explores our cultural belief that there is one right way to do things and once people are introduced to the right way, they will see the light and adopt it (deriving from and linked closely...
