We need more 10Gbps or higher dedicated servers for hosting our OS and app updates. We have North America covered well enough via sponsored servers from ReliableSite in both Miami and Los Angeles and a sponsored server from Xenyth in Toronto but no longer have any left in Europe.

Hey @init7, how about sponsoring a server for @GrapheneOS ?

The reason I don't use or consider using SourceHut is… well, look at it.

https://git.sr.ht/~bacardi55/houston

To me a site like GitHub/SourceHut/Codeberg has two functions, one is to actually host the VCS, but the other is to be a useful, inviting public presence for your project. People with little-to-no knowledge of source code should be able to get useful information out of your project landing page.

But every Sourcehut page is bewildering to me at first glance, and I've contributed code to DVCSes!

@mcc This is all the more problematic, since many projects fill their public-facing websites with marketing gobbledygook that's even less useful than the README.

@mcc Isn't the primary function of web-enabled DVCS-hosting to facilitate working with collaborators and therefore main features beyond DVCS are issues, PRs/MRs, code review and the wiki to document the software for coders?

Huch, schon wieder Dienstag? Dann ist ja heute -Tag!

1️⃣ Heute sind Ferienfotos angesagt. Eine Leserin sandte uns folgendes Bild zu, mit der Aufgabe, ihren Aufenthaltsort daraus zu entschlüsseln. Nichts einfacher als das, im Zeitalter der allgegenwärtigen gesichter- und bildererkennenden , denkt man da. Weit gefehlt. Jedes der getesteten Systeme kam zu einem anderen Schluss.

Den ganzen Test jetzt bei .

Und was sind euere Tipps?

Would you describe yourself as a "Digital Public Good"

exception ,
@exception@mastodon.savvy.ch avatar

@mcc Some important parts of me are operated by biological neurons which aren't very digital.

Also, some important bits and bytes parts of me are MOST SECRET.

Finally, I try to be "good" as opposed to "evil" but I can't say I always succeed.

So definitely no "Digital Public Good" here.

It's hard to celebrate when someone like Elon Musk waltzes into the federal government, wrecks the place, and walks away seemingly with everything he wanted. But did he though? In the end, Musk left defeated, humiliated, and widely despised. That’s no small thing. We should take the win. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/elon-musk-doge-black-eye

@georgetakei No, we should not rest until Musk is behind bars und Tesla und SpaceX are bankrupt.

There are a lot of things I hate about Microsoft Windows but I think my absolute least, least favorite is the thing where as you scrollwheel down a pane if the mouse happens to pass over a dropdown widget it will stop scrolling and change the value and if you happen to move the mouse like 1 pixel while this happens it keeps scrolling now you have no idea what you just changed or where or potentially even that you scrolled at all

@mcc Interpreting beliefs as any kognition not entirely based in scientific certainty.

Is there an messenger in 2025, that:

  • doesn't depend on anything US (e.g. not )
  • is reasonably secure (e.g. not )
  • runs on all platforms (e.g. not )
  • doesn't depend on commercial servers (e.g. not )

Anything?

@matrix Mostly the missing authentication of room management messages.

And the underlying issue that the E2EE protocols were all tacked on later instead of made as a whole from the beginning. This makes E2EE extremely hard to reason about implement correctly. The implementations are also hard to use securely by the user.

Selenskyj bei "maischberger": "Niemand ist an einem Afghanistan 2.0 interessiert"

Der ukrainische Präsident Selenskyj warnt davor, dass es bei einem Ende des Ukraine-Kriegs zu einer Lage wie 2021 in Afghanistan kommen könnte. In der ARD-Sendung maischberger sagte er zudem, dass Absprachen ohne die Ukraine zwecklos seien.

@tagesschau Wenn das Zitat richtig übersetzt wurde, dann könnte Selenskyj eher 1979 als 2021 gemeint haben...

The Internet Archive Loses Its Appeal of a Major Copyright Case https://www.wired.com/story/internet-archive-loses-hachette-books-case-appeal/ Next, all AI companies should also lose access to copyrighted books and art. Why are tech bros allowed to breach copyright? The law should be applied equally to all.

@exception@mastodon.savvy.ch avatar

@nixCraft Actually, copyright law should be stricter on commercial AI companies than on not-for-profit archives. Or even better, copyright should be abolished altogether.
