reshared this
On a more serious point, I encounter more and more overuse of aria-hidden for some reason. There must be a shitty article somewhere about it, or a shitty library/framework that encourages its use.
Typepad is shutting down in a month.
To answer your next question: yes, they were acquired by a private equity firm a few years ago.
Well fuck. I done screwed myself.
Rebooted my iSCSI storage from under my VMs, because "she'll be right".
Hidden Master DNS VM crashed. Stuck in a 'halted' state.
Tried removing it so I can just reimport the disk. Accidentally removed the disk.
VM level backups accidentally not enabled.
Host backups not enabled, because it was a "one off" host running FreeBSD.
Haven't committed any DNS changes to git for over a year (because I'm lazy... "I should do that.... eh, next time")
So now I've lost over a year of DNS changes and have to rebuild a server.
Goes to show you can still fuck up no matter how long you've been doing this.
you may also want to try this amazing tool which would have been able to automatically backup your DNS zones for you with commits each time the zone changed
FreshPorts -- dns/nsnotifyd: Handle DNS NOTIFY messages by running a command
The nsnotifyd daemon monitors a set of DNS zones and runs a command when any of them change. It listens for DNS NOTIFY messages so it can respond to changes promptly.www.freshports.org

"Notice of Security Incident"
I had...this in a notes file on my computer. I have no idea why, where it came from, what it is, or why it exists. It was just a random file called notes.txt hanging out a few subfolders deep in my documents. Now you can have it, too!
In the most famous episode of Lost in Space, taking on the role of the gracious host, Captain John-Boy presents the actress with a parquet silhouette of the spaceship and a receipt of her room and board, proudly boasting, "conditions are 435 per cent better!" It seems to be an impressive sales pitch until you realise that he's including a portrait of himself as part of the deal. However, this doesn't seem to deter Miss Clay, who avidly accepts.
But her excitement quickly turns to concern when she realises the ship's crew won't be as easy to win over. "You think they are going to like me?" she worriedly ponders.
"They will love you," John-Boy confidently assures her, his words almost drowned out by the sound of raucous laughter emanating from the galley. Realising that his actors will soon be subjected to the Walton's unconventional dynamic, John-Boy hesitates before opening the door.
The sight that greets him is one of playful chaos; his parents and grandparents engaged in a friendly food fight, hurling mashed potatoes and greens at each other with gleeful abandon. Recognising the challenging task ahead, Miss Clay asserts, "We'll have to teach them some manners."
John-Boy readily agrees, signalling the start of their mission to transform the lively Waltons into a more refined version of themselves.
The following scenes depict the trials and tribulations faced by Miss Clay and John-Boy as they attempt to instil etiquette into the Walton clan. Their efforts are met with varying degrees of success. Grandpa, in particular, transforms remarkably, adhering to the new rules and proudly declaring, "You can't go against Miss Clay!"
Despite their best efforts, the process is fraught with challenges. Olivia, John-Boy's mother, accidentally destroys a prized family heirloom during an ill-fated attempt at a lesson in table manners. The mishap leaves both her and John-Boy in despair, with Olivia lamenting, "I'm going to be the only mother in history who's going to lock her children in the airlock." Yet, amidst these setbacks, they remain undeterred.
The climax of their efforts arrives when Miss Clay decides to stage a 'dress rehearsal', simulating a dinner party scenario. Each family member is assigned a role, aiming to perfect their newly acquired manners under her watchful eye. However, the exercise quickly devolves into pandemonium when their dog, Reckless, wreaks havoc.
The pandemonium unfolds as Reckless chases a toy, disrupting the carefully staged dinner party. The pursuit ends with the dog crashing into the table, sending food flying and leaving the guests, including Miss Clay, covered in spaghetti. The incident appears disastrous, yet it inadvertently serves to unite the family, reminding them of their shared bond and resilience.
As they recover from the chaos, John-Boy expresses his admiration for Miss Clay, commending her perseverance and stating, "It makes me feel good that you don't care where you are as long as it's with us." His appreciation reaffirms Miss Clay's connection to the family and their mutual understanding.
In the concluding scenes, the Waltons gather to bid farewell to Miss Clay. It's a heartfelt moment filled with appreciation and respect. Despite their initial resistance to change, the family acknowledges the positive impact of her presence. They part ways with a newfound understanding, promising to maintain their refined behaviours, albeit with a Walton twist.

It's almost like good languages don't actually come from design-by-committee hell ???
It's been a week and a half since @marieverdeil and I started our EXTRA residency around permacomputing at @imal, so I thought it would be a good time to share some of the things we have been researching so far ✨
We are looking at batteries as means of energy storage, for now from all angles - we looked into their chemical compositions, how they're produced, recycled, reused, as well as the discourse around batteries as *the* solution to a sustainable future.
By the end of our one-month residency we will talk about our process and do a two-day workshop titled 'And what if we cooked with batteries?' at @imal's event The Cookery (save the date, it's 18-21 of September)
Below are two images from the first couple of days of the residency!

The interesting thing that "Charlie" enables is for people to be able to install that oven/range to replace gas where they wouldn't normally have the required electrical hookup, whether just a wiring issue or maybe their mains panel is too small to add another 30A and be allowed by code anyway
So if you could build a battery+inverter combo device that let you do this for a normal oven/range that would be pretty awesome

It's always nice to get a visible mention in a magazine, to reach people who may not be familiar with free software!
I haven't read it, but I'll try to find it! 🤩
Papa Murphy's has really good cheese, sauce, and crust. And they're considerably cheaper than a normal take-out pizza.
I think the take-and-bake sector is gonna grow a lot as the economy gets worse and worse. People would rather have to use their own oven if it means more food for their family and cheaper.

in reply to Ozzelot • • •@ozzelot @tatageek @l91459 já to sleduju už docela dlouho a z vícero zdrojů mám bohužel pocit, že vývojáři GrapheneOS jsou tak trošku malicherní ... doplň si sám. Ale dělají asi dobrý produkt.
Někdo jim dle všeho jednou ohledně fairphone odpověděl jinak než chtěli slyšet a oni od té doby papouškují tuhle přesnou odpověď a nechtějí jakoukoliv spolupráci ani zkusit.
Je to škoda, ale je to jejich právo. Já díky tomu musím volit a i přes mé silné zaměření na bezpečnost volím ekologii 🤷

in reply to Kepi • • •@kepi Ten pocit není jen tvůj; občas to vypadá, jako by měli patent na rozum ohledně bezpečnosti v Androidech. Druhá věc je, že výrobci Android OS a telefonů - a je nutné to říkat napřímo - v naprosté většině nemají bezpečnost, a ani soukromí, jako prioritu, a potom to vypadá tak, že jediné, co bezpečně zvládnou, je zamknout svůj bootloader.
A musím říci, že v tom, co Graphene s Pixely dělají, se IMHO zaměřují na ta správná místa - ošetření paměťových hrubek, zákaz USB, storage/contact spaces, automatické restarty... Spoustu těchto featur už další systémy přebírají, protože prostě jsou dobré. A různé uniklé dokumenty od Cellebrite apod., kde hodnotí, které telefony a OS dokáží se svými nástroji prolomit, tak dávají tušit, že směr, kterým se Graphene a Pixely ubírají, tak je správný.

in reply to Pavel Valach • • •@kepi A ano, jsou dost úzkoprsí ohledně toho, která opatření jsou účinná a která ne. Ale...
Ne úplně dávno jsem sledoval kauzu ohledně přístupnosti - velmi důležitá věc, pokud by GrapheneOS měl být použitelný pro širší vrstvu lidí - a opět zde srovnávali kvalitu kódu a různých TTS řešení apod. A bohužel, jak to tak chodí, jsem v diskusích zaznamenal obrovské extrémy - včetně lidí, kteří nekriticky obhajovali (dle GOS nevhodné) TTS systémy, protože funkční lepší než žádné. A měl jsem v timeline lidi, kteří by vás za nepřítomnost takové funkcionality v "mainstream" OS možná i upálili.
A pak to vypadá, jako že je dohoda ke kompromisu nulová, nicméně z toho, co chápu, tak vývojáři GOS mají na obecnou kvalitu kódu, který shipují v systému, poměrně vysoké nároky, zejména pokud má takový kód přístup k celému obsahu Tvojí obrazovky, a měl by běžet s rozšířenými právy. Což, pokud vím, bylo (pro GOS) gro té diskuse.

in reply to Pavel Valach • • •@paulos já to s tou bezpečností vnímám podobně a vůbec nerozporuji ty jejich požadavky, naopak mi přijde v pohodě, že na nich trvají. Vadí mi ale to, jak k tomu přistupují. Prostě jako já, když mi bylo 20...
Místo neustálého kopírování jedné odpovědi o tom, jak je Fairphone hrozný a je úplně k ničemu a nemá o nic zájem by bylo dobré dát alespoň ostatním šanci, na Fairphone zatlačit. To, že o nic nemá zájem vychází prostě z jednoho šlápnutí na kuří oko a kdoví jestli ne ještě od někoho z komunity, místo přímo ze společnosti.
Prostě nebýt tohodle super negativního přístupu, minimálně já už bych dávno brojil a přemýšlel, jak vzburcovat komunitu, aby příští nebo přespříští verze Fairphonu tyhle podmínky splnila. Jenže proč bych to dělal, když z jejich reakce na 100 % vidím, že oni by stejně řekli, že Fairphone sucks...
Ale stejně, vzhledem k dalším zkazkám o tom, co Google plánuje s Androidem myslím, že budu mít brzo o pár dalších důvodu k přejití na čistě Linux phone :)
