lol so bleak

Not in the same way, no.

Most of the fediverse is open to all by default and the control admins have is to create a block list of instances they’d rather not federate with. With Peertube it doesn’t federate with anyone until admins on both sides add each other to an allowlist.

One thing that took me a looong time to realize is that Peertube federates weirdly - it’s all under control of the instance admin, not it’s users. Admins decide which instances federate with each other and then all the videos are copied between instances that have agreed to federate with each other.

But there’s no way to see this in the UI, as an ordinary user!

So it’s all super fragmented. Discoverability is atrocious, even by fediverse standards.

If you look at https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances?sort=-totalInstanceFollowers then that’ll help you find a well-connected instance. Then post onto that one.

No mention of the war or sanctions. Seems like a deliberate oversight.

In the Homarr docs, there is this: https://homarr.dev/docs/widgets/iframe/

Towards the end there is a link to https://github.com/diogovalentte/homarr-iframes which contains many examples of some content formatted nicely to fit within Homarr iframes and a docker container you can use to make a url that the iframe widget can consume. They used Go which is only a little harder than Python to read.

Seems like this one - https://github.com/diogovalentte/homarr-iframes/tree/main/src/sources/changedetectionio - makes a request to a JSON api, for example.

The article also says

North Korea’s economy expanded 3.7% in 2024, its fastest rate in eight years

and

Let’s see how things go once the Ukraine war ends and they can’t profiteer off throwing their people into a meat grinder any more.

This is AI slop, btw.

Don’t trust any of the numbers in that article.

Fair enough - I got it working recently but it was the hardest self-hosting install I’ve done. No way most people would succeed. Email is 50(?) years of questionable design decisions piled on top of each other so it’s become a whole world of weird stuff. Doing email should be it’s own tech specialty, like ‘devops’ or ‘db admin’ is. There’s enough depth to it.

There are a ton of email providers who are not Google, though. e.g. https://proton.me/mail. You don’t need to run it on your own hardware.

Recently AI was weaponized against the fediverse when someone intentionally published a big AI generated security report about a popular fedi platform. Not a PR that might be useful, just a huge pile of allegations. The author is a professional developer so they knew what they were doing and how much urgent work that would create.

Bit of a dick move.

Then they had the gall to opine at length about what AI means for open source and how foss projects will need to change their ways.

Such a douche.

Guess how many sharks Australians kill each year.

An emphasis on belief was one of the innovations of Christianity compared to Judaism. In Judaism there is a lot more room to believe whatever as long as you still follow the correct practices & uphold your communal obligations. In Christianity you can do all kinds of questionable things as long as you “believe”.

So good to finally have a label for what went wrong with Drupal!

Stranded major

It’s funny how they’re concerned about the optics of the size of the audience members when the optics of holding a UFC event on the whitehouse lawn at all are already absolutely terrible.

The homeless people living in RVs are the responsible and organized ones who saw a bad situation coming and invested in a solution that would keep them from living in a tent.

If that solution is taken off the table it’ll just lead to more people living in tents and all the problems that come from that.

If I were blind I’d prefer it if the app just hid all image posts from me. The alt text, when it exists, is going to be trash most of the time anyway.

The sheer volume of engagement leads to obvious mistakes. One assistant thoughtlessly commented “Huge win” on a post commemorating the September 11 attacks.

This is getting complicated.

Welcome back!

The only large mainstream competitor, which would probably benefit from github’s troubles: “We saw github breaking itself regularly because of it’s own slop coding AND flooded with trash vibe coded projects and thought - that’s where we wanna be!”
