Spain completes its 'most ambitious space project' with the launch of the satellite SpainSat NG II
The SpainSat NG II satellite successfully took off from Cape Canaveral aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9. With it, Spain completes its SPAINSAT NG secure communications programme and reinforces its role as a technological and strategic reference in space.
Version 2 of UpSiteDown, Seediffusion's free and accessible website monitoring tool, is out now!
* Version 2 is the first UpSiteDown release to use codenames. Each major version will use a British celebrity name for a codename. Version 2 is codenamed after the TV and Radio presenter Jamie Theakston.
* UpSiteDown is now using accessible_output2 instead of cytolk for a speech library, helping the program on its way to cross platform.
* The program can now send push notifications to iOS devices via Prowl.
* The program can now monitor other types of servers that don't use web ports, such as FTP servers, mail servers, game servers etc. Simply start a URL in your sites.txt file with either icmp:// to have the host monitored via ping requests, or tcp:// to have it monitored via TCP connections.
* UpSiteDown is now completely open source and in the public domain, being licensed under the Unlicense license.

RE: mastodon.social/@ebassi/115429…
Got nerdsniped around lunchtime yesterday, and ended up implementing a shared "reduced motion" setting for GNOME and the rest of the xdg stack:
- gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/m…
- gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gsettin…
- github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop…
- gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-des…
- gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…
#a11y #accessibility #gnome #gtk #xdg #portals
Under GNOME we're currently abusing the boolean "enable animations" toggle, but this poorly maps to the actual accessibility issue of reduced motion. Ideally, we want to map to the same kind of set...GitHub
Time for plumbing a whole new accessibility setting from desktop to toolkit: 3 hoursTime for knowing what to plumb: 20 years
Time for bikeshedding on the type of the setting: Positive infinity

Hi @skippingmoonrocks
We're sorry to hear about that! We care but we're not experts so for some things rely on user feedback.
The best way to report would be via our forum: forum.antennapod.org, Bug category and complete the template.
(But if need be, you can share it here also, and we'll try our best to pass it on.)

@delta Hi, I just started testing DC with the default server while creating an account. I have a question: how much storage capacity is granted for each account? And which is the largest file size that can be sent in a single message?
I think I haven't seen those notes in the FAQs, thank you!
oh, I see, thank you!
I'm also reading the following:
Messages are unconditionally removed latest 20 days after arriving on the server. Earlier, if storage may exceed otherwise.
So we should see DC as kind of ephemeral storage, right? (at least with the default relay)
Thanks for those fast answers!
☁️The recent AWS outage showed how fragile “cloud-based security” can be.
When one datacenter faltered, global communication tools — including Signal — went dark 🌑
🕸️Matrix-based messaging systems kept running because they don’t rely on a single provider.
Resilience = decentralization
Let's invest in open, federated platforms.

Our project is one of constant exit planning and circumvention considerations ... as times and tech are getting more shitty.
We don't bet on a single basket, and not a single state or jurisdiction, and certainly not AWS/Google/Microsoft US clouds which run #Signal servers.
No single hoster, platform or language (we do a lot of Rust, granted) and no single device or vendor. At #chatmail protocol levels we regard nothing as holy, and look for simplicity and robustness, and convivial community 🖤

``exit planning''
This should be one of the pillars of every project architect's plans. The others being ``keep it stupidly simple'' and ``take as much time as it needs''.

Turning Points USA was set up by two young Republicans to spread misinformation about COVID and gun violence.
One died of COVID, the other by gun violence.
I don't even have to write a joke about that.
reshared this
Important correction, Turning Point USA was founded by one young Republican (Kirk) and a 72-year-old Republican (Bill Montgomery). This was always an AstroTurf campaign for rightwing oligarchs.
Still, your point about covid and guns is very apt.

@IzzyOnDroid why I tend to see what big tech collects as metadata to be digital poppetry.
Your metadata profile is a poppet to be used to determine what to advertise at you and what propaganda to send you.
Those fake bot accounts are a part of that.
We are aware of roskomnadzor just having ramped up their blocking efforts in #russia against #deltachat 's default onboarding chatmail relay. Signal, Whatsapp are degraded/blocked for a longer time already.
1) Delta Chat has first class shadow-socks proxy support (try ss:// links you can find ... Delta has management-proxy UX)
2) many other chatmail relays work fine and inter-chatmail/email server traffic continues unimpeded
3) if you can help with analyzing please drop into our DMs.
La gente de #DeltaChat vuelven a impresionar 🤯 ahora con llamadas P2P (**en beta**)... Donde los servidores no necesitan hacer NADA especial, ni siquiera actualizarse. Todo sigue funcionando bajo estándares de #email. 😍
Hay algo mágico en una aplicación que consigue ser tan independiente incluso de su propia infraestructura. 🪄
Brillante trabajo, @delta, mis felicitaciones. 🚀

Interesting, when a modal dialog (nested within a `<main>` element or some sectioning content) opens in Chrome it seems to disregard its context, so elements like `<header>` and `<footer>` will have `banner` and `contentinfo` roles as if they were scoped to `<body>`. When opened non-modally, they have `sectionheader` and `sectionfooter` (new ARIA roles + mapping) which means that it is computing the roles based on the dialog’s context.
Safari and Firefox keep the context is both scenarios (i.e. modal and non-modal). I have no idea what is correct. Need to read more.
Anyway, here’s a playground for the bug: knowler.dev/demos/MR4JmQW

I've lost track of how many years I've done this now but basically for Black History Month I'm posting back to back bangers from UK Black artists daily!
This is in the hope that you go out there to discover something new, rediscover something old, and most importantly to support the arts! Slip some in your playlists, tell your friends, buy some records, merch, and gig tickets ❤️

I cringe so hard when I hear/read someone go "I am too old to learn this new thing".
I was in my mid-30s when I got my first paid gamedev gig. And I know writers who started in their 40s or even later.
You're NOT too old to start [this new thing]. You just have less energy to overcome doubt.
finished landing the fix for this FreeBSD bug: bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show…
this is quite fun. in one sense, it's a fairly serious bug: inet_net_pton() is completely broken for IPv6; it simply doesn't work and returns garbage output. but this bug has been present since 2006, when this function was first imported into libc, and no one noticed until August of this year when the PR was filed.
what i conclude this from is that literally no one uses these functions, and they should probably have never been imported in the first place. but, well, we can't remove them without breaking ABI compatibility, so now they're here forever, like an obnoxious uninvited party guest.

One reason diversity initiatives are sabotaged?
If you think it is valid & right that your subgroup represents and defines a category, for instance, men considering themselves the rightful prototypical members of STEM careers, you will be more likely to resist opening up the group to others and more likely to demand that anyone entering the category conforms to YOUR norms.
This effect is reversed when you do not have a baseline belief that your group has the default right to be the prototype
