I was talking to someone at #emf2024 who was talking about making a LoRa hexpansion, but I'm terrible with names so have forgotten who it was. Does anyone know? 😅

Pros of traveling with a big hiking rucksack: lots of luggage capacity
Cons: feeling paranoid that I'm gonna turn around and annihilate a shelf full of glass bottles when you need to visit a store

I work for a French company, which means I get reminded yearly about the existence of the concept of the Solidarity Day, and I do not understand how the French people not only allowed the government to take away one of their public holidays a year (which will vary based upon employer) and replace it with a day where you have to work, but to go as far as to replace it with a day where you have to work but do not get paid for doing so :afloofLoad:

@npub108e…nss3 oh yeah that's how I learned my first IXP port had been turned on
I managed to beat them to sending the peering request for the second port though >:)

Yesterday I bought some carbon steel and iron pans
Today I cooked on them for the first time
My god, the carbon steel one in particular is the slipperiest thing I've ever used. Why on earth did I put up with Teflon all these years?!

I like how the breakdown of law enforcement requests sent to RIPE is basically
189 requests where the answer was “use whois and ask the people that returns”
7 requests where the answer was “use whois”
1 request where the answer was “use another bit of our public database”
3 where the answer was “this is entirely outside of our remit wtf”

@npub198t…hasj this is less of an issue when buying used ex-business laptops to be fair, because the worst 1/3rd is generally already trashed by that point >_>
but i don’t think i’d ever buy a new Lenovo

@npub108e…nss3 btw expect that any ipv4 block you lease will be unusable for e-mail (its 99% certain it was previously leased by a spammer)

@npub1ysu…2jyl I find it funny that every wordexp implementation I'm aware of other than glibc implements the logic by
... Wait for it ...
Shelling out to /bin/sh
(Or, incomprehensibly, perl on macOS)

@npub198t…hasj To connect to the OpenBanking APIs, you need an AISP license (so no, there isn’t open source software to ocnnect to any bank via the OpenBanking APIs)

Today was going better before the palm of my hand and the serated end of the bread knife explored each other

Tomorrow is International Women's Day, which is clearly why Deutsche Bahn has decided to enforce my internationality by cancelling my trains home

I feel it might be suboptimal/not intentional that my route to foo.github.io is going via Singapore

The latest Mastodon security vuln (GHSA-jhrq-qvrm-qr36) appears to be an exploit that can be used against instances that host their media on the same domain as the Mastodon instance itself
Reminder: It is best practice to put user uploaded media on a different hostname - ideally, a separate domain name entirely, but if not possible a subdomain will suffice.
(Note: Even if you do this, you still need to upgrade; the exploit is against remote instances0

Besides, how often does someone write a news article about a 50 person instance shutting down?

To the people who are like “What did you expect to happen when you picked a .af domain, are you idiots?”
Yes, we were aware of the possibility of suspension from the start
Yes, we were aware that political circumstances could change
But thumbing your nose at conservative autocrats as an even minor form of protest is fun
In the end pretty much everyone has migrated out successfully (and I’ll continue to help anyone who remains)
We’ve all gotten a fun story out of this
I’ve been signalling the probable demise of queer.af to my followers for the past year. We knew the end was coming; we just anticipated it to take a little longer
So long; it was fun while it lasted.

Hello fellow admins!
It would help users migrating from queer.af if you would temporarily add the following to /etc/hosts:
65.108.48.233 queer.af
The domain was suspended this morning without warning.
For users attempting to migrate, there’s an alias domain for the UI setup at: https://queer-af.alioth.systems
Thank you everyone for flying queer.af; sorry for the abrupt end, but it was out of my control, and you were all (hopefully) aware of this possibility anwyay.
