Fun story about systems teleology: from January through May the system Oliphant designed for sharing blocklists placed woof.group on their tier-3 blocklist. One of their "Fedi Council" members was a single-member instance that blocked a bunch of queer sex-positive instances. This also affected pettingzoo.co, sinblr.com, kinky.business, tech.lgbt, bearhole.gay, restraint.social, and h5q.net.

One of the nice things about Fedi is that we get to make nuanced, local decisions about community norms. We're a leather bar, and .art is is welcome to decide they don't want our butts & bondage in their metaphorical backyard. That's OK!

But I do think it's worth keeping in mind that the social and statistical mechanisms of shared blocklists both erase the local nuance & historical context that goes into defederation decisions, and introduce new biases: whose perspective counts and how much.

you know how su has - in its man page?

well it's not a separator, it's a shortcut for --login 😬

(edit: to all the "doesn't everybody know this???", the numbers make it clear that no, and I'm sure you can make an effort and see why. this type of reply is unnecessary and insulting. thanks!)

The failure of the Internet to deliver its promise is particularly noticeable when you hunt for repair manuals for a product from the 90s. Used to be, the information would either be there or not there, finable or unfindable.

Now, there are hundreds of algorithmically generated sites claiming to have it just because it appeared in their search logs, generating potemkin village content traps with endless paging, broken-thumbnail named-like-the-file-you-want but actually-just-ebay-photos bullshit

On Friday, I spotted that TLS1.3 was not available on our main web assets domain, static.files.bbci.co.uk (fronted by Akamai).

It took a bit of digging but we were using Akamai's 2016 TLS ciphersuite list which is deprecated & lacks TLS1.3 ciphers.

I've just switched pre-live environments to the 2017 cipher list as the changes were minimal (-3DES, +TLS1.3 ciphers). I'll roll this to live tomorrow morning.

This opens the door to enabling QUIC/HTTP/3 (requires TLS1.3) for our static assets.

@tdp_org@mastodon.social avatar

Turns out it's nothing to do with products/contracts - you can only enable http/3 on Akamai configurations whose TLS slot mandates TLS SNI - which ours does not, because "history".
Looking at our data, we're at 0.1% of requests not sending a TLS SNI header...& that's mostly crawlers & other people's monitoring.

So, if you are using BBC www as "is the internet working" or crawling us & not sending TLS SNI, please fix that or your stuff will break at some point (no timescales yet).

Boosts are 🙌🏻

Q) How do you encourage Elon Musk to develop a small Social Media platform?

A) Give him a large one to begin with.

Thank you, thank you very much. I'm here all week.

Promotion driven development and the idea of level appropriate work are the bane of big companies.

Once you get to a critical mass of senior people at a company, you start incentivizing complexity and redundancy because for those people to get promoted they need to show company-wide or organizational impact.

Why do you think Google has so many chat apps instead of everyone just working to make one or two of them great?

Ok fedi

My parents decided to go on a trip with us in Eastern Europe this summer, stopping in Berlin, Warsaw, Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn, and asked us to find out interesting things to do there.

Y'all who live over there, know others who recommended stuff, or simply know neat spots; what would be interesting to visit? I'm looking for lots of recommendations, since conventional travel sites recommend conventional things, but I feel that it's all a tourist trap, so I really really would appreciate recommendations from persons :meowHuggies: :neofox_nom_cat_nervous: :blobcatpeek:

Thank u aaa

This is what IBM demands from open-source developers. Meanwhile, they cried about the RHEL source code and called those distro users freeloaders or parasites. Anyway, FLOSS devs don’t own anyone anything. If you need support, pay for the contract. The sad thing is IBM/RHEL said they need to pay for their devs, and when you take it free, it is hard to maintain enterprise distro, but when it comes to other FLOSS devs/projects, they don't think the same logic applies.

In light of LLMs slurping up all of the data to train their shitty things, the advice I got in the past to "make my writing more professional and digestible" turned out to be the worst advice ever, and the more swears I add and the more obscure shit I ref will protect me from it.

as someone who dislikes NixOS for weird ideological reasons I won't go into (it's related to ABI-stable libraries), I have to say that I've been using NixOS for the last few weeks and it has caused essentially no issues despite me:

  • using it in anger (incl. literally)
  • only somewhat paying attention to the docs
  • having no prior experience with NixOS
  • or with the domain specific language it uses

this is really impressive! props to all the people who make it happen

They joys of bugs in hardware or firmware[1]:

A user reported updating to 6.4.y broke on a Intel 3165 NIC. Bisection identified 5fc3f6c90cc ("r8169: consolidate disabling ASPM before EPHY access") as culprit.

Turns out it was not a faulty bisection, as it seems enabling on some chips supported by can harm other PCI devices. 🥴 🤨

"Due to a misinterpretation of the docs, it was assumed inputs were typed per their YAML value but they're actually all strings. This means that using just the teardown variable was evaluating the non-empty string 'false' as a truthy value."
