With the impending release of Mastodon 4.2.0, I wanted to highlight the new Public Profile page.

There are several new options here, and they WILL control whether your posts are part of the new full text search. This feature is OPT IN, so if you're wanting your posts to be included, you're going to have to manually give it the thumbs up. If you don't, well, keep on doing what you're doing.

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@chris @mike In principle I would want to make that decision on a per-post basis. Is that not the case? (note that I did not see the image you attached; since it’s 600k I opted not to fetch it)

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@mike @chris I would naturally expect only public posts to be indexed for searches. But that still lacks control because I would like some msgs to be public but excluded from the crawler. IMO there should be a 5th visibility option: “searchable”, which would be both public and indexed.

Yes, you can ditch now..

https://organicmaps.app

is here. Use it while offline and feel good about a -respecting app that doesn't suck you dry of your personal information. Based on this app is gonna blow out of the water (hopefully ;)

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@aiquez @smallcircles is a site, so avoid that for sure. I didn’t look into what that site tries to do, but you can certainly use (a FOSS phone app) & download maps for offline use.

One problem with defining "Open Source" as "Released under an OSI-approved license" is that it implies that software released under a license that is only later approved by OSI was previously not open source but became open source despite nothing changing about its licensing

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@bignose @mjg59 Is OSI approving the software or the license? Sounds like you’re talking about OSI-approved license. Wouldn’t the license generally exist before the software does, so there is no limbo period?

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@lukeshu @mjg59 @bignose I think it’s quite rare for software devs to write their own license. There are some good articles floating around about why it’s a really bad idea. Better to use a license that was already drafted, like GPL. Software devs have a tendency to overestimate their ability to practice law, which I think is why it’s a disaster when they try to write their own license.

We need your support!

We need to grow our donations or consider cutting costs (like sunsetting non-essential services) to remain sustainable.

Besides Pixelfed, we also run https://fedidb.org, https://fediverse.info and https://activitypub.network

Donations can be made via:
Liberapay - https://liberapay.com/pixelfed
Open Collective - https://opencollective.com/pixelfed
Patreon - https://patreon.com/dansup

Spread the word!

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@dev_m @pixelfed You are producing 3 of 4 centralized privacy-abusing sites that you market as “ & safety built-in” while claiming to hold decentralization in high-esteem. You conceal from your users the fact that you’ve allowed Cloudflare see the traffic of your users surreptitiously.. and then you ask for donations? The only thing needed here is a bounty to be CF-free.

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@mcspadden @dev_m @pixelfed @oceane @emurphy falsely markets itself as privacy-respecting on the basis of hiding the identity of their customers. So say you want to setup a website that peddles Proud Boys bigotry/propaganda. CF will ensure that no one knows who runs that website. That’s the only privacy that CF gives & it comes at the cost of everyone else’s privacy because CF sees all your traffic despite SSL.

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@emurphy @oceane @pixelfed @dev_m @mcspadden So when someone logs into , sees their username, password & all traffic on that site. CF holds the keys so that’s where the tunnel ends. CF users (e.g. Pixelfed) do not warn users of this. So suppose a user is sloppy & reuses the same pw on many websites. CF sees the pw & from that would even be able to compromise that user on non-CF sites.

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@dansup @mcspadden @dev_m @pixelfed @oceane @emurphy Nope. You don’t know how works. Start here → http://cryto.net/~joepie91/blog/2016/07/14/cloudflare-we-have-a-problem/ The tunnel terminates at Cloudflare. If it worked as you claimed, then you could ditch CF entirely because you would be handling the full traffic load anyway.

The next time you take a breath, thank trees and plankton. Trees produce 28% of the oxygen we breathe, and plankton a whopping 70%. Through reckless deforestation and chemical dumping, humans are literally biting the hand that feeds us oxygen.

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@joaopinheiro @dancinyogi Fun fact: this is why focused on encouraging empathy for whales in . was about saving trees, but whales are even more important.

Does anyone know how to find someone who migrated Mastodon instances? Is there any kind of central change-of-address registry? The instance is dead (redroo.ml) so I’d like to find @extinct.

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo, to random

I’m always ready to bounce. When a resource/instance starts to go sour, I’m gone. I can’t get my head around these mainstream masses who are migration-resistant. It really takes an extreme fuckup for the masses to get enough energy to leave places like Twitter & Reddit. And where do they go? → mastdon.social, lemmy.ml… the worst of the . WTF. They will be rooted in there.

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

This is why it’s critically important during the migration to direct Reddit refugees to a good instance. And I’m not sure what to suggest. Ideally something that’s from lemmy·ml, not too oppressive against civil posts, not tor-hostile (this rules out ). Otherwise the oppressive types within the will thrive.

This latest from @jerry :

  • and .io needing pretty beefy servers to keep up after
  • "The server is pegged. 32 threads of 90% CPU usage.
  • I bought 4 more servers and I am going to be giving docker swarm a try to spread the load out across 5 systems.
  • Wish me luck.
  • (each system is a Hetzner EX101 Intel i9 13k with 64GB of DDR5 ECC memory and a raid 1 nvme v4 SSD - so pretty fast)"

Nerd help wanted-- I would like to know how to extract the UID from pages like this one: https://web.archive.org/web/20230602200710/www.thespruce.com/clean-your-mattress-the-natural-way-350742 I hit f12 to inspect & just get a massive blob of DIV tags. I tried cURLing the page & “grep -i youtube” & get nothing. or

We self-host nearly 3000 videos on our server http://visionon.tv, and you can watch over, 8000 more federated videos on activism and technology. Self-hosting costs real money which we don't have, if you would like to support this then set up a recurring donation here https://opencollective.com/open-media-network to keep his space available for people to step away from the mess we are all in.

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@witchescauldron Speaking of resource limits, do local copies of non-locally-drafted messages get deleted from this server after a certain time period?

wraptile, to programming
@wraptile@fosstodon.org avatar

Been exploring so many new programming languages lately but going back to always feels so good. Things just make sense.

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@wraptile Except the fact that gives meaning to whitespace.

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@cazabon @wraptile Python is not the same. Python makes indentation part of the language. So if Bob finds his code more readable with 2 spaces and Alice finds her code more readable with 4 spaces, they cannot both be accommodated. Logical bugs can be introduced in Python simply by an incorrect indentation. Grouping tokens are safer because you can see concretely where groupings begin & end.

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo, to webdev

Have we lost the ability to save web pages? I saved articles from 4 different websites (Chromium) each of which was stored in a single HTML file. Total disaster. When the file is later opened, all four show garbage. Two of them show raw MIME multipart base64-like text blobs. It really seems like software engineers these days are getting less & less competent.

***** When Google Doesn't Care *****

Why am I pushing a "Users' Bill of Account Rights" now? While this does not apply only to , I frankly am deeply tired of people coming to me desperate, pleading, for help trying to restore access to locked out Google accounts. Google won't respond to them. They ask who they can talk to? Who can they PAY? Personal and business emails, precious photos, files. They trusted Google. They followed the rules. They did nothing illegal. And they've lost access to everything. To Google, they're just in the noise at Google scale.

It's been this way at Google since the firm's start, but over the years Google has encouraged ordinary, nontechnical people to trust them more and more. And that usually works great, until something goes wrong.

Up to now, I've sometimes been able to informally help in these situations, via contacts at Google. But even that has become much more difficult. This is getting worse, not better.

Google has the resources -- money and smart minds -- to solve these problems. This is not rocket science, or even computer science. There are straightforward ways to make this far better for Google users otherwise locked out and left to swing in the wind. The sad fact is that Google simply doesn't consider them to rise to the level worth helping.

This must change now. -L

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@lauren @rrwo The does entitle users to their data & it states that ID required to satisfy access reqs cannot be a higher degree of proof than what was needed to open the acct. The problem is that the GDPR has no teeth. Corps ignore the GDPR, ppl report it to the DPA under art. 77, then the DPA does nothing. There is nothing in the GDPR that forces the DPA to act. It’s a toothless mandate

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@rrwo @lauren Doesn’t Google demand a phone number or non-google email address when opening an acct? Proving that whatever was supplied to open the acct belongs to the acct holder would prove that you are the one entitled to the data.

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@lauren @rrwo When you say there’s a path by which alternate email or phone number do not exist, do you mean they were not required in the 1st place? Would those be accounts that were opened in the 90s? The other scenario (stale data) is interesting because they are useless for automated robotic account recovery but you can prove to a human that you had possession at one time (eg. phone bill)

dsfgs, to linux

HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE someone has finally done it!

Finally a system that allows all(?) users to not only block the likes of , Amazon, , Twitter-buyer, and more, but that also tells you with a slick notification when it does!

Overjoyed right now.

Install instructions (on I2P, change .su => .i2p):
http://upload.arav.su/f/qZ2RNrZeJcYS4QGj9svWCcfm6ySP4yrOF_0m5Ckx31Q/dfca-0.2.0.txt

Above link will work for 36 hours.

Also available as torrent at tracker2.postman.i2p

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@dsfgs that site is unreachable to me. I’d rather not blow the dust off my i2p stuff & relearn it just to see what this thing is. Is there a long description anywhere on clearnet or onion sites?

I just chipped one of my front teeth off. By chewing gum. Old repair done ~35 years ago that finally gave way.

But still. It's fucking annoying.

aktivismoEstasMiaLuo,

@selea @joacim Not sure where you are in the world but you might want to look into if it’s a costly repair. tl;dr: if in N.America, go to Mexico. If in Europe, go to Romania or elsewhere in the east.
