I was talking to a friend who is in his late 30s. He said that he'd only been to five memorial services in his life. I've been to dozens, partly because I'm on the pastoral team.
When you're younger, most people you know are getting married and having children, so you attend a lot of weddings, baby showers, etc.
When you're older, many people you know start dying. So you're attending more memorial services.
I think younger people should try to attend more memorial services. It helps us to put things in perspective and prioritize important things.

I previously wrote a different blog post about a problem I was having with my Yubikey for SSH keys via PGP / gpg-agent and needing to disable polkit for the pcscd daemon, but I discovered the root cause of my issues and needed to throw that blog post…
Oh et : - les liens mènent vers "bour.so" et non pas leur vrai domaine. ".so" c'est la Somalie… Vous je sais pas mais moi ça me fait penser à du phishing direct… - le mail a été signé par "boursorama.com" mais l'expéditeur est "noreply@boursorama.fr" - le vrai nom de domaine est "boursobank.com" - les images ne chargent pas car ils oublié de mettre "https://" au début des URLS (<img src="bour.so/"…)
That sound you hear is a thousand AI bros telling Cursor to add ARIA roles to the <div> buttons in their React apps to make things work in Atlas (sometimes).
I finally managed to narrow down the problem I'm having with Delta Chat to likely being that some part of the Chatmail stack doesn't like inbound messages from my provider, since I was able to communicate okay with a remote user on a third-party server, but E2EE setup with every single remote party on a Chatmail relay fails with a bounce message about No DKIM signature.
Meanwhile, trying to contact the same users on an account I set up on a Chatmail relay works fine.
I've currently got a ticket open with my email provider to look into this and see if we can shake any more info out before creating an issue with Chatmail and/or @delta
This sounds like two separate problems: 1. chatmail relays don't like *unencrypted* inbound emails, and 2. other chatmail relays reject your message because your DKIM DNS record isn't set correctly. But hard to say definitely without knowing the exact situation...
Feel free to join our chatmail mutual help group, that's where we help each other out with issues like this :) i.delta.chat/#6CBFF8FFD505C0FD…
the weird thing is I'm using a domain owned by @runbox and they swear their DKIM is set up correctly, which I'm inclined to believe 😁
I have a ticket open with them now and they are taking a closer look at the bounce messages. if we get this figured out I hope to make a pull request adding Runbox to the "how to set up with your third-party provider" docs (at least I think that's pull-requestable...)
anyway, I made a different account on a Chatmail relay for the time being, so I'll join that help group, thanks for the link!
cc @dvl as I know you use this setup, but possibly still on MacOS. If you have a need to use your Yubikey for SSH from a FreeBSD box, this might save your bacon
My Yubikey was working fine on FreeBSD until it wasn't. 😢 I don't know what happened. I haven't been using this setup for long as I have been using a Macbook as my primary laptop/workstation for many years now, but I've recently transitioned my workf…
oh dear, you can actually run the service with --disable-polkit so half that advice is unnecessary
pcscd_flags="--disable-polkit"
but also I think I discovered the root cause... will know in a reboot... might have to throw away that blog post and write a new one that accurately reflects the situation

I’ve kind of gotten to where I don’t trust any follow requests I get, even if I recognize the name because people can impersonate others,. But by all means, let’s continue to bang on about how decentralized social media is just the best.
This is unfortunately a drawback of the fediverse. Any protocol where multiple servers can become part of the network and there's no central authority over the authenticity of a profile will have this issue.
There are ways to somewhat mitigate this issue, however, for example by linking to a site on your profile that has a link back to your profile with the rel="me" tag added. It is not perfect, but I imagine buying domains would be painful for someone who wants to impersonate lots of accounts.

Absolutely! So obvious question here but this thing is not meant to record, say VST instruments with low latency in a DAW, it would specifically be audio only stuff?
Here's a fun idea for a hack-utility that could work: To get the Brailliant BI 40X series to play regular Mp3 audio, just convert a folder of audio files in with a book wrapper, so that the player thinks it has chapters but those are just pointers to the track data for each audio file. Would be neat if something like that worked, since clearly the playback capability exists, it's just that you're not allowed to use it for standard audio playback.
@Jage Imagine that. A several thousand dollar screen that uses software to limit things it's perfectly capable of because things and stuff. There's nothing rippy offy about that even close.
I tested OpenAI’s new ChatGPT Atlas browser for Mac with VoiceOver. The built-in AI is impressive—especially Gmail prompts like “Summarize unread emails.” But major accessibility issues remain, from unlabeled buttons to missing feedback when typing. I believe in Atlas’s potential and want to help make it better. Read my review: taylorarndt.substack.com/p/acc… #Accessibility #A11y #OpenAI #ChatGPTAtlas #BlindTech #InclusiveDesign
I can't wait to see infosec breakdowns on all the stuff that is leaking from this new OpenAI Atlas browser. Should make for some very interesting reading. That's a thing you'll never see me using, accessibility aside.
OPENAI has officially revealed its Atlas web browser, powered by its Operator AI agent and featuring built-in ChatGPT functionality.
The browser effectively promises to automate your life with the functionality to fill out forms, make dinner reservations, and even chat with a webpage at the touch of a button.
"you don't need to be so smug about cloud because your diy stuff will have outages too, and probably more of them"
Yes, but you see, if my life revolves around us-east-1 and it goes down, then my day will be incredibly uneventful as I cannot do anything other than wait. HOWEVER if I self host everything and my home server explodes, fixing this becomes an urgent priority for me ! Cloud outages are boring, sensory deprivation core. Home outages are exciting, and provide enrichment for the little twink that lives in my head;!!!! Who wouldn't want enrichment??????
#GOP Senators Ready to Dump #Trump Nominee With Self-Proclaimed ‘#Nazi Streak’
“I can’t imagine supporting that,” Sen. James Lankford told reporters.
🚨🚨🚨 …One of Trump’s nominees…said in a leaked group chat that MLK Day should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell,” & that he has “a Nazi streak.”
new trick: since it has become increasingly difficult to rip videos from Youtube, just search for the same video and see if any Tiktok results come up. They don't care if you rip the videos yet.
@CapitalB doesn't work at all anymore. They added way more DRM shit to prevent you from being able to rip videos. None of the tools work anymore. Invidious isn't even working.
This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
the last time us east 1 took a shit this bad it was because a storm knocked out power, and they forgot to fuel the generators. then when they got fuel, they started too many machines at once and it caused breakers to pop. it was a whole thing
I tapped out a whole shitpost about privatizing critical infrastructure and my blood pressure started ticking up so i hit play on my airsonic UI instead and added this classic.
@klittle667 Protect I think can only run on UnifiOS devices at the moment but that is set to change with the self-hosted UnifiOS ecosystem if that's still your thing.
@klittle667 I can't remember what its called but they released a fairly cheap single drive NVR unit a month or so back which will run Protect. May help you. Other manufacturers make models that record to SD card via a chime type device.
Yep, Family peoples have complained at me re: cameras and doorbells and such and am asking me for advice. I'm considering getting them set up with UniFi stuff. I think they know just enough about tech to manage it or I can set up remote access or whatever.
That War of the Worlds movie with Ice Cube is kinda low-budget but it actually works pretty well. They had a good team to build out all the interfaces and stuff for their video calls and computer hacking / surveillance camera stuff. You can tell it was basically done during COVID but it's not bad, it's just different.
Steven Conn's book "Americans against the City" is an essential history of American anti-urbanism. It will help you understand why fear and hostility toward people who live in cities runs so deeply in US culture and politics. Good summary:
Americans have always feared crowding and congestion, blaming the anonymity of the city for a decline in community feeling. But cities’ energy and vitality continue to pull people toward urban life.
You don't NEED the uptime, life was just fine with quarterly scheduled maintenance outages. Your t-shirt shop and your blog don't need 7 nines of uptime
What you DO need is control and sovereignty. What happens when AWS pulls a Broadcom an decides to jack up the prices 1000%? They could do this any time. They have the internet by the balls right now
@k3fnb I just don't get why we think everything on the internet needs to be running 24/7
Does your SquareSpace site selling trinkets to Americans need to be working at 2am? Who is buying your products at 2am? Your customers are sleeping anyway.
Bring back the "Down for maintenance, come back soon" pages. Life was just better.
Japan now has their first female PM, who will sway the country further to the right.
Do you know why women who get the most politically powerful roles often come from the right?
Because they're not accepted by default in a patriarchal political structure, and thus have to be more cutthroat and demonstrate a willingness to put forward the most harmful ideas and enact the cruelest political moves. Right wing men love to see women willing to put their face on things so they can claim some degree of progressiveness and deflect criticisms of sexism while still upholding patriarchal values.
It is not "progress" just because a woman is in the driver's seat.
