I'm debating reviving my official pixelfed hosting service idea, it's not a regular host service though!

Rather you'd bring a S3, Hetzner, Linode, DigitalOcean API key to our service

We would provision or otherwise manage (1-click updates, automated backups) your instance while allowing you to maintain total control over ownership of the underlying server and data

I'm thinking $5-20 a month for this, and it would allow admins a new level of peace of mind while maintaining total control

Wdyt?

I seem to have a lot more common ground with #joostklein than I thought, but watching his #pinkpop and #lowlands and #werchter sets I want it to be summer next year. Cannot wait for #WHY2025 #hacker #camping #freedom

iPads are almost as expensive as MacBooks :flan_laugh:

But sure! An iPad really needs an M4 chip for all those uh.. "heavy apps"? :apple_inc:

Apple seems a little lost

Joost Klein (Netherlands) was removed from Friday afternoon’s grand final dress rehearsal as the EBU investigates a reported “incident.”

Following the news, Dov Gil-Har — a news anchor at Israel’s state broadcaster — approached the Dutch bluebird dancer with a camera, saying, “Where were you? We missed you on stage.”

A security guard for the Dutch team is heard saying, “What are you doing? Why are you doing that?” and “Can you stop that please.”

Hey @internet_nl

Ik krijg op de 'Connection test' van https://internet.nl maar een score van 10% terwijl ik toch echt alles op #IPv6 first heb staan.

Mijn eerstgebruikte nameserver is die van @freedominternet mijn internetprovider: 2a10:3780:2:52:185:93:175:43

En als ik internet.nl opvraag krijg ik toch echt ook het IPv6 adres terug:
$ host internet.nl
internet.nl has address 62.204.66.10
internet.nl has IPv6 address 2a00:d00:ff:162:62:204:66:10
internet.nl mail is handled by 10 vmx02.prolocation.nl.
internet.nl mail is handled by 10 vmx01.prolocation.nl.
internet.nl mail is handled by 10 vmx03.prolocation.net.

De test van https://ipv6-test.com geeft wel een 100% groene score.

Is er iets mis met jullie 'IPv6 only nameserver' waardoor de connectiontest niet goed werkt misschien?

IPv6-test.com is a free service that checks your IPv6 and IPv4 connectivity and speed. Diagnose connection problems, discover which address(es) you are currently using to browse the Internet, and what is your browser's protocol of choice when both v6 and v4 are available. Score 20 / 20

@koen heb je soms tips voor FOSS software die zonder al teveel toeters en bellen contact / information management doet? Use case: Klein core team in een stichting die moeten weten wie wie is, waar ontmoet, in welke context, die dingen. Alvast bedankt!

One of the things I like most about #Europe is being able to travel different countries without a passport check at the border. #EuropeDay2024

koen, 13 days ago to Europe

It was brought to my attention that today is #EuropeDay2024 and that the European communication people are asking us to use the hashtag I used here.

https://european-union.europa.eu/principles-countries-history/symbols/europe-day_en

I bet there will not be that much mention of that tag on the Big Tech platforms. Shall we make that tag a bit bigger here?

#Europe

Tagging the most expressive Europe lover I know @bert_hubert 😎

Yesterday I heard a line that is still with me today and feels like it's applied waat to much these days

Something like:

"You can't make someone understand a problem if that persons job is depending on don't understaningd that problem, it's not about creating solution but rather creating a narrative that fits their solution"

albertcardona, 14 days ago to Trains

In Europe, flying is cheaper than taking the train.

It's an embarrassment, and a major problem: we have to stop flying for silly short distances. Realise that the overheads of flying (reaching the airport, awaiting 2 hours, the flight, the unloading, reaching the destination) largely cancel out any time gains of flying. And the carbon costs are utterly untenable. Not to speak of the modern, dire conditions of the whole flying "experience".

Another embarrassment is that train connections can't be guaranteed when across countries or companies. They aren't even coordinated. As if those who commission and set the schedules didn't travel by train themselves, at least not internationally. In considering how tiny most European countries are, it's frankly bizarre.

There are so many destinations one could travel by train to, yet in practice, it's not sensible. A disgrace.

The upside is that it can be fixed.

Het is vandaag de Dag van Europa, waar ongetwijfeld allerlei officiële dingen voor zijn georganiseerd. Het leek me zinvol eens wat zaken op te sommen die #Europa typeren. Aanvullingen zijn welkom.

Every time a truly open protocol emerges, the vultures that shout "monetisation" will show up and demand that artificial scarcity must be created or else they will not come. But adding artificial scarcity to an open system makes it non-open. 1/7

Na de zoveelste non-profit of goed bedoelende site vol trackers en cookies moest ik dit toch echt even kwijt. Want het hoeft echt niet. En probeer vooral eens uit te zoeken wie in je organisatie iets zou DOEN dan met al die tracking data. Goeie kans dat er niemand naar omkijkt maar je wel het surfgedrag van je gebruikers verklikt aan adverteerders:

koen, 20 days ago to fediverse

Let's have a short discussion on 'when will you follow someone' on the #Fediverse especially when it comes to #politics and #press

There is a catch22 situation here, where politicians and people of the press say 'we are not going to use the Fediverse, since we cannot get enough reach there' and people here on the Fediverse say 'we will only follow people who are actually active here'.

I think that if we really want to make the Fediverse a place where we can find all the news and all the political activity we should take action to overcome this catch22 situation: if there is an official account of a politicion or a press-outlet, even if they are not (very) active: follow them!

It does not hurt you (if there is no posts, then there is also nothing to not like) and it will give them the chance to see that there is an active audience here that is worth spending time on.

Oh, and when they do get active: treat them like you want to be treated, welcome them with a warm heart and encourage them to be even more active.

.@koen asked MEP @kimvsparrentak after her #StaatVanHetInternet speech why she isn't more active on Mastodon. She said that she wants to.

She has just 45 followers, so let's help her by following her account to show that Mastodon is a great alternative to Big Tech platforms.

Niet zo sexy, wel extreem belangrijk voor vrijheid en welvaart: 2024 wordt hèt jaar voor een vrij en open internet.

De wereld gaat dit jaar met elkaar in gesprek over hoe het internet wordt bestuurd. Aan Europa de schone taak om de bizarre agenda van censuur en staatscontrole vanuit China, Rusland en Iran te weerleggen.

Hoe je dat doet, staat in dit position paper dat ik schreef.

Onze politieke groep in Brussel overhandigt dit aan de Europese Commissie, die fors aan de bak moet
