hello. in my mastodon & sharkey instances, i can extend the range of hashtagged posts available from other servers by also following several @relay.fedi.buzz tags, eg
relay.fedi.buzz works with Friendica as well. Since this is a relay server, the admin has to follow these accounts from the command line: bin/console relay add .....
@Michael 🇺🇦 oh wow, that's great news, thx. 🤗 [albeit also somewhat inconvenient in that any time i wish to add any new relay.fedi.buzz accounts i have to involve my instance-admin, rather than simply do it myself like in my sharkey & masto accounts]
Here's my #FOSDEM advice. Go. Enjoy. Don't worry. You are among friendly geeks and nerds who will happily help when needed. Enjoy the fries. The waffles. The presentations. The beer. The booths. Collect stickers. Buy the t-shirt. Is all :)
Viete o neziskovke / občianskom združení / nadácií, ktorá používa CiviCRM, (ideálne) je s ním spokojná, a vie pracovať v slovenčine?
Pripravujem grant a fakt by sa mi doň zišla taká organizácia.
CiviCRM je webový nástroj na správu vzťahov s členmi / podporovateľmi / kontaktmi. Napr. členské prihlášky, aktualizácia členov, prihlasovanie sa na podujatia, platenie za členstvo a iné poplatky, odosielanie vestníkov, prijímanie darov aj v rámci kampaní, nábor dobrovoľníkov a mnoho ďalšieho. Je to vskutku komplexný systém 😅
Ja ho používam v mojej organizácií Wikimedia EO / PreWiki.sk, a v slovenskom esperantskom hnutí.
@mreichelt If you can get into them. Honestly, there have been fosdems I've gone hungry because food was unobtanium.
I won't be going this time, because I'm already to virused-up-cruddy, but my advice would be: * bring food, bring drink, * have pals you want to meet and go into brussels early after you've done the hallway track * don't try to attend any talk or dev room
Oh, and protect your shoes from projectile vomiting when going to Solbosch using public transport.
lol - I feel this will be a very different conference experience than I'm used to! I never was at FOSDEM, so this will be a first for me. I'd be happy to chat with you when we meet there!
I think one thing I like about Lofi, is that you can experiment. Plus, you don’t have to quantize. You can have slight drags on your drums, or your base. As long as it’s on the right tempo, you can mess around. Slap some vinyl preset on there, and boom.
Well, seeing as its been paid for, I can officially say that I will soon be the proud owner of a BTSpeak! So excited! Was looking forward to the upcoming tutorial/demos by @liamerven, but now that interest is more than peaked!
For FOSDEM first-timers, it's good to wear the shoes that work best for a lot of standing and walking and can handle rain and some puddles (depending on the weather). These might not be the best looking shoes you have (or they might be) it just needs to be something that once you put on you won't have to think about until you take them off, which will probably be hours and hours later. I am bringing two pairs with very different weights and support styles to switch between.
Darn, that's a lot of icons still. Despite me thinking I'd hate mac, I now only have the default apps on my dock, which kinda serves like the desktop, but mostly for stuff that's opened. Thought I'd go back to my windows habits of like, way too many icons, but nope, I guess I just stuck with the whole arrangement. Just removed a few unnecessary apps I didn't need and that was it, then kept a few I can actually open via the dock and stuck with it, so now it's that thing I am just used to. Also, nothing beats a windows refresh, to be fair. Except a super fresh windows install, to cleanup the registry only to fill it up back again. :D
Tonight...it almost didn't happen, but the Digital Domain with @nick and Bob is also known as the 'Bring on the Snow' show! How was Snowpocalypse 2026 for you?
Also, predicting the grammies and listener submissions that fall into the category of WTF?
So. EV is on the horizon. Looking at EV chargers... Immediately, it is surprising to me how many CURSED things the manufacturers suggest doing.
Take this - Running EV Ultra cable (3 x 6mm + a 4 twisted pair data cable inside one armoured jacket)? Use a pair for your CT connection and two pairs for Fast Ethernet!
Also interesting to discuss the safety concerns of having exposed, fragile, solid copper data wires inside that enclosure, right next to those chonkin EV charger contacts at 230VAC... That Ethernet cable probably heads off into a comms rack where people are going to be handling the ends of cables, terminating, crimping, etc... without imagining that the other end is <2cm away from live contacts with zero isolation.
Ok so I made this remix in Ableton over the weekend. Felt really good to just work on music for the fun of it again after taking a break for quite a while. Love this track by Charley and wanted to see what I could do with it. Link to original on Youtube: youtu.be/PSPiBLN9sv8?si=BpL_Ce…
Hope you like, I put some more info about the track in alt text, let me know how I can improve this because I'm honestly not sure how to describe audio very well.

Not Interested in Apple's New AirTag? Snag the First Gen AirTag 4-Pack for Just $69.99 https://www.macrumors.com/2026/01/26/airtag-4-pack-for-just-69-99/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
I am personally interested in Apple fixing bug with system data taking up 50 plus GB on iOS device, 58 in my case. That would be great! I know one way to do that it to reset and restore my device, but I cannot do that because I have bank apps that are not available in App Store.
Your reminder that if you didn't always know you were trans, that's okay! If you want to take HRT and get gender-affirming surgery-okay! You don't? That's perfectly okay too. Want to start HRT, then stop, then start again down the track? Also fine! Want to try out different names and pronouns? Do it! Clothes style changes with time, or doesn't fit gender norms? Experimentation is awesome! There is no one right way to be trans. This is *your* journey🏳️⚧️
Hello friends. I need work. A. to survive and fight, B. to make space for more art in the face of our dystopian present. I'd be amped if that work came in the form of music, sound design, sonic art and activism.
My wheelhouse is dark and dirty electronic for my personal work but I am an ex-pro who can remix damn near anything and can bend sound design to sonically fit cool projects. I have references. Some friends here on the feed might like to chime in to help my case?
I am available for donate what you can commissions for game assets, remixes, loops and beats, soundtracks, media tech support?. Keen to hear your ideas.
Would you care to check out some dark dance, industrial, synthpop, powernoise, horror and dystopian soundtracks? This is a great time to donate anything at all, if you can, for my always free to download open catalogue [did you see my recent covers album release?] which thanks to your help is growing and hopefully much more this year.
If you are in a decent place and might like to just send a few bones my way. This helps plan my year to not just be more productive and active with my own music outputs but also able to do collaborations, remixes for others, and my general backstage artist support and activism for the bard class.
Whatever platform you can tolerate using, I'll add to the kofi progress bar. I know there are many pressing and apex issues pushing us all for time and resource, so I really appreciate anyone that wants to help us go down with a good angry cathartic stomp. I am lucky to have a secure home but as I've shared in the past, I cannot work in public spaces so I subsistence farm and universe willing, make noise with my friends.
I hope to see you at this years web concerts and in the feed.
Dear friends in the UK, pay close attention to the horrors happening here in the US, and especially how quickly it went from 'controlling immigration' and verbal posturing to a fascist regime executing their citizens in the street. Don't let the Reform nuts and bullshit nationalists get a foot hold, shut them down now and shut down those external christo-fascist billionaire fucks that are trying to make it happen. Sounds impossible, not in the UK, well lets just make sure it doesn't happen
Hey, Fedi. Help me help a friend. (Not financial!)
I have a friend who is all about cool bug facts. They're going through an intense patch in their life, so I would like to send them some bug facts to cheer them up. But this is really their thing, so basic search engine results aren't going to new to them.
If there's a cool bug fact that you genuinely love, could you tell me? I'll save them to share with my friend over time. 1/n
#DAVx5 @davx5app The app consumes 26% of my battery usage, although I set all syncs to 1440 minutes. I allowed it background activities in my phones settings. I do not make/change contact information or calendar entries a lot - and if I do, I do on my phone (triggering ad-hoc syncs); a sync check should offer "nothing to sync". Does anyone know why that is and what I could do to minimize battery usage?
That's highly unusual. Even excessive syncing of multiple accounts should barely be noticable in the battery stats. which device and which network config? Maybe try to completely remove the app and reinstall.
WASHINGTON – Following the killing of Alex Jeffrey Pretti in Minneapolis, FBI director Kash Patel has advised American citizens participating in anti-ICE demonstrations to leave their firearms at home, while reiterating how guns are still welcome and…
As a company that has long boasted about its commitment to principles, Apple has had a bad several months. It removed ICE Block from the App Store. It let X remain, empowering its users to create child porn, which is apparently “free speech” now. After two American citizens were killed by ICE, Tim Cook responded by attending a special screening of the Melania documentary. It’ll be hard to believe that Apple believes anything it says after all this. When principles mattered, Apple collapsed.
Here's my first Mastodon post! My mission out here? To understand and promote Mastodon, the only large European social media platform (to my knowledge). How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?
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).
as we wind further into fascism, a gentle reminder to consider #meshtastic, a decentralized and encrypted mesh network. Rn from my apartment the most distant folks I can see are about 200 miles away with like $50 of equipment
Meshtastic has some serious design problems though, the entire network stops working once you get to about 25-30% usage of the airtime and that happens quickly because their implementation is too chatty.
Meshcore is better, but has similar problems. There are capacity issues in the Seattle area right now and they're discussing strategies to resolve it.
> at 20-25% you have a 50% chance of collision
This technology is neat but it's pretty useless if only a couple hundred people can use it "sometimes" in a major metro area.
It's basically like everyone is sharing an Ethernet hub. We're all in the same collision domain.
the only way to fix this is with new hardware where the radios can operate on multiple frequencies simultaneously. It just doesn't exist yet so nobody's built it to work that way.
and then there's the problem of tropospheric ducting that increases the range massively for a period of time and that causes you to get a ton of new collisions from far far away
I think it will have an interesting future if people get some better hardware produced. Current hardware is like Gen Alpha, hopefully we can have it hopping frequencies in the next generation
For years, the payments industry was aggressive about cutting off access to websites accused of containing child sexual abuse material. Elon Musk changed that.
I take dance classes a few times a week. I always wear a KF94 mask. I know it isn’t perfect, but those are the ones that fit my face best and, at least from my experience so far, they seem to sufficiently protect me against germs from people who are pre- or a-symptomatic. However: I have the rule that if somebody tells me that they are sick, I leave. Today was such a day. I arrived, talked to someone, and a few minutes into the conversation they volunteered that they are sick, so I got dressed and left again.
I know there’s worse things in the world, but I’m still annoyed. Especially because of the attitude that I get when I explain this. People tell me that I don’t have to apologise for my behaviour. I mean… I wasn’t planning to. So I just say nothing and leave, but it feels really shitty.
I know that people also censor any photos and videos taken at events. As in: if I’m in it, they don’t upload them, because I don’t look “gezellig” enough. I don’t mind that pics and vids of me aren’t shared publicly, but the reason pisses me off.
Problem gelöst! Mit Crome klappt es! Danke für Hilfe! An meine blinden Follower: Ich habe bislang Hörbücher im Epub-Format von buecher.de gekauft, konnte sie auch immer herunterladen. Jetzt sind die irgendwie verschmolzen, und ich kann nur noch online im Tolino Webreader lesen. Sie machen es also unmöglich, gekaufte Bücher herunterzuladen. Das ist derselbe Unsinn wie bei Streamingdiensten. Hat jemand eine Alternative, wo es noch geht? ebook.de hat dasselbe Problem. Bin etwas entsetzt!
i've seen a couple of screenshots of terrible people being baffled that people are putting themselves in danger for their neighbors, random strangers, anon immigrants. it's like they can't believe empathy is real and not something others are faking just to score woke points. what a sad way to be, but also how wrong. we will win.
