Anyone got a spare rpi or similar they would be willing to part with (for reasonable payment ofc)? Gotta rebuild my #homeserver and prefer not to buy new hardware where possible.

@thedaemon that's right. If mothra can't load your webshit, your webshit sucks.

Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital “library”.

Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.

building the ZFS DKMS takes foreverrrrrrrrr

a deep concern that I have with software development is how alienated it is from the communities in which engineers live. they work on central platforms that are hosted "in the cloud", the work is unplaced and detached from material surroundings. an alternative world would involve a much stronger emphasis on infranets, community-owned and hosted infrastructure, "platforms" limited in scale and targeted towards the specific needs of a specific place that they are in relationship with

@aral this is why FLOSS advocates & hackers should work with doctors, schools, real estate agents, activists… and teach them about privacy & decentralization - while learning from them about real-world use cases for “our” ethics & principles

Distributed Press is at Fediforum this week!

Distributed Press is at Fediforum this week!

We're thrilled to be at Fediforum this week to present our latest tools! For the past year, we've been working on bringing distributed hosting to the Fediverse, to create better, more customizable social interactions built atop ActivityPub.

Come check out our talk on Wednesday March 20 in the morning, around 8:30am PT / 11:30am ET (the overall schedule is here).

Here's a sneak peek of our presentation:

• No-code publishing to the distributed web: Sutty CMS is a graphical, user-friendly interface for static Jekyll-based websites. With a click on a toggle, you can publish your websites to IPFS, Hypercore, and of course, HTTP.

• Social Inbox: Publish a profile and post your website's contents directly to the Fediverse. Other accounts can follow your websites, and replies to your Fedi posts can be moderated and published on your for sites through a back-end moderation panel on the Sutty CMS. It also allows instance-level allow lists and block lists. We've automated announcements so others can easily subscribe and follow your website posts on the Fediverse.

• Social Reader: A new ActivityPub client that supports natively loading published data over p2p protocols, skipping the need for always-online HTTP servers for accessing content. It also gives you more precise controls over the content that you interact with.

We'd love to connect with you!

Especially if you're building or strategizing around:

• Payments and sustainable funding on the Fediverse

• Peer-to-peer and distributed publishing

• Fediverse adoption by medium to large organizations

Hope to meet some of you there!

#KDE and #UXN, a match made in heaven.

Sure, we ain't a microblogging platform (because omg the cost to benefit ratio is whack on those) but we do offer high-benefit/low-cost systems that help communities break free from extractive tech.

The GC is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Xe maketh me to lie down in free pages;
Xe leadeth me beside the tagged pointers.
Xe restoreth my memory;
Xe leadeth me in the paths of finalization for Xyr name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of malloc(),
I will fear no memory leaks; for Thou art with me;
Thy mark and thy sweep they comfort me.

The idea that employees are so mentally fragile that "feeling overwhelmed" is a reason to be absent is bonkers. Everyone feels "overwhelmed" every now and then. That's not an adequate reason not to show up for work!

lmao uh oh. dhh, buddy…

This article completely misses the possibility that “feeling overwhelmed” can stem from life outside of work. Here in Finland (and likely other EU countries), you are entirely within your rights to take sick time off for mental health reasons (https://yle.fi/a/74-20070305).

Not every day is going to be magical at work. Some days you really do just have to power through. And if you can't, then use some paid time off to recover. Taking it out of the same allowance that someone else would spend on a holiday.

Yeah, no. Sick days and vacation days are entirely different. You go on vacation to take a break from work, not to recover from an illness.

"NPR’s decision to platform a piece about the difficulty of navigating life with a spouse who can’t dine indoors, instead of a piece about the difficulty of navigating a society that has made dining indoors unsafe for vulnerable groups, is just that- a decision, and a political one."

AIPAC is about to dump $100 million into unseating the Squad and other progressives. It's long past time for Democrats to kick this right wing group out of the party.

Sure, this wannabe-Gilead stuff sounds goofy AF, but *fortune favors the prepared mind*. These troglodytes have an existing network. They have capital. They have a more or less clear sense of what they want to do, and the order they want to do it in. And you better believe they will have a sufficiency of people willing to do the foot-soldiering. We mock them at our peril. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-a-secret-society-of-prominent-right-wing-christian-men-prepping-for-a-national-divorce

It's a simple problem:

Either capitalism, particularly extractivist fossil fuel capitalism, goes, or a planet that can support 8 billion + people does. There is no third option, and yes, the rich people, including the political class they have bought and own, have already picked capitalism.

Fight, or die. Revolution, or extinction. Maybe you can win without violence, but don't pretend the other team has any qualms about force, fascism, and murder to keep their power. They tell you so every day

Plastic recycling is a scam dreamed up by the fossil fuel lobby to ensure we don’t phase out disposable plastics.

On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke to @dharnanoor to discuss where the idea came from and how little plastic is actually recycled.
