@Gargron why not just shut down your instance and instead use it as a portal to promote the network. It is very difficult to teach the typical internet user that mastodon is a distributed social network when your site promotes itself. Be a martyr for your cause and you will win in the long run. It is worth the sacrifice to make a real difference and change the you personally want for the Internet.

Good friends defend each other and are stronger together. True friends identify each others' shortcomings, and together, become stronger.

as halloween approaches, remember that Dia de los Muertos is NOT "Mexican Halloween" and it is not appropriate for you to wear sugar skull faceup as some edgy cute costume.
Dia de los Muertos honors our dead and beloved. Its one of the last remaining traditions from the days before we were colonized and our culture destroyed.

Just FYI, Mastodon v2.6.0 web client adds a nice feature that makes having inline RSS feeds (via something like my RSS-to-ActivityPub converter, https://bots.tinysubversions.com/convert ) much more convenient. The feature adds a "read more" to any post that is taller than a certain number of pixels, so now my "podcasts" list renders in a way that makes more sense. ("Read more" opens up a detail dialogue where you can read the full post in-client.)

So I have a freebox v6 player motherboard with an Intel atom inside and I can't find a way to flash the firmware. To replace it with a linux distribution. Any ideas ?
I think I will have to touch directly to the memory, I have never done thatPlease boost :)

Kindness is not a code of conduct unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU behavior pattern made useful by the GNU developers, contributors and vital commentators comprising a full communication system as defined by POSIX.

I am extremely frustrated with the GNU "Kind Communication" announcement http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2018-10/msg00001.html
Extremely tone deaf (especially footnote 2); puts down CoCs and ignores their motivations; would have been better to say nothing than publish this right now.
Ludo' of GNU Guix project has a good reply here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18275156
Especially frustrated with "people might have quit". I *did* quit g-p-d because of how *badly* the diversity conversation was going.

So far, the hamfisted attempts at commercialisation of the Fediverse have been ridiculous/mock-able, probably in violation of the AGPL and they just didn't get momentum
But when a slick, user-friendly instance with proprietary code and targeted ads comes along with the backing of Google or whatever, ready to "embrace" the Fediverse (coming soon: "extend" and "extinguish"), we might not have much time to mash the "block" button before it's too late

If you are an instance admin, you NEED to block instances, and do so EARLY when they are being run by people who are acting in bad faith
* Hiveway was very stoppable because they didn't have a critical mass of users for whom it would be seen as "unfair" to block them for their admins' bad behaviour
* Bofa was a lot harder to stop because there was like a million hand-wringing about how many users they had, and how it's "not their fault"
Block bad instances EARLY

if sqliteβs new CoC featuring the ten commandments and then some gives you the willies, there are some alternatives. i use pouchdb for projects that only need a small local database: everything is stored on disk. you hook it up to a couchdb install if you need to scale your db infra, in which case it automatically transacts with couchdb rather than the local filesystem.
plus you can stick it in the browser π

So, fedipeeps, myself and possibly @kyzh will be down in London on the 31st Oct to join Extinction Rebellion in their declaration in Parliament Square. Anyone else want to go, and support the fight for our planet? Civil disobedience starts in less than two weeks now. Join us!
