I discovered when I graduated from Computer Science I prefer people to programming. I toot about Privacy and about how RFC1984 relates to that. I'm concerned by the threat of mass data collection and surveillance. I like to raise awareness of this RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1984

@stefano I came upon it after noting the recent discussions between Linus Torvalds and Kees Cook .

It's nice that there's not much swearing now. But I think Linus perhaps needs to reflect on some of his behavior. It's still toxic.

Linus demonstrating that any clear and well-reasoned proposal can still be attacked using nothing more than SHOUTY CAPS and calling it "idiotic".

Deftly ignoring direct questions, and side-stepping all attempts at logical discussion by deliberately and repeatedly mis-quoting the other person.

@kees I am in awe of your patience and calm 😉

I'm not sure it's sunk in. The swearing has reduced perhaps. Still toxic behavior though.

My project @librecast benefited from last years when we applied through @review

We are still benefiting now as our package maintainers agreed to keep packaging us.

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/310197

So if you are curious about how to package for perhaps there is also a project you'd love to contribute to and have in Nix. This is your chance to learn and work with other folks.

Looking at archived #multicast projects from the 1990s. I feel a little sad.

All these projects with different distributed use cases for multicast.

It's not just for streaming.

https://web.archive.org/web/20150924034926/http://www.infres.enst.fr/~dax/guides/multicast/mdownload.html

I wish some of the folks who worked on these projects were on the fediverse.

#librecast wants to bring back multicast. We want to do more with it.

At it's heart multicast is networking with consent. From the very fact it is pub/sub

@randahl I'm reminded somewhat about the Vietnam war.

Human life appears to be cheap. Russian's children and also Ukraine's children.

"come on fathers don't hesitate
send your sons off before it's too late
and you can be the first ones on your block
to have your boy come home in a box"

Like I said crates.

Its utterly appalling the waste of live to old mens vanity and love of nostalgia.

Putins end of live crisis.

@vfrmedia @randahl Well, when you have a society where as a man you're expected to not really express your difficulties in a cult of a "strong man", this is what happens.

You become toxic to show how strong you are. Or toxic when you feel weak and ashamed so you need to beat someone else up.

Then it needs to be public. Because let's face it data leaks, so he might as well make it fully public.

Looks like a storm later, which almost certainly means a power cut.

Time to upgrade my kernel then, if I'm going to have to reboot.

My main laptop hasn't had a battery since last year, and my knackered UPS is currently telling me it can provide me with 0 minutes of uptime (when I've finished compiling, I might get back to 3 minutes).

I've never encountered a bear.

I have found herds of cows to be very disquieting. You do not want to be in a field with them when they are calving.

Although really they are scary all the time.

You hear a large rumbling. Then the herd appear and then they stop. Just watching you.

@mikedev The ones round us are ok. Although occasionally one farmer keeps forgetting to swap out the batteries for his fence. So they get out and wander around the neighbourhood.

Sheep can be vicious as well if they get scared. Although I remember the time the farmer didn't separate the lambs far enough and the mothers went looking for them. A ewe is hella protective.

@mikedev I have spent nights camping in a forest with boars.

That's not great for a good night of sleep. Especially if you stupidly still had bread in your tent and they can smell it.

What does it mean to be a tech worker? https://jacky.wtf/2024/4/kDBb

onepict,
@onepict@chaos.social avatar

@jalcine Really thoughtful post.

Being a tech worker is a very specific thing as well. Although I started thinking of myself as an IT Professional in the Oil Industry it's much the same. Toiling in the service of companies that are damaging our biosphere.

Its why I try to work towards another way.

By the time you get to an election, its too late to do anything other than vote.

You need to start way earlier. You need to organise and get your funding and candidates together for any elections to increase experience in politics.

The base builds brick by brick.

onepict,
@onepict@chaos.social avatar

But when you are too scared to vote anything else because in the case of Scotland, that will mean a potential loss of devolution, we need to consider if it's still a democracy if we have to keep a complacent party in it.

Not voting for the SNP risks splitting the indy vote true. But what do you do when a party no longer represents you?

So you aren't just gearing up for this election. You are gearing up for any election that we still can get.

Which means you also work to help others vote.

"I'm more concerned with the prevailing attitude in tech that it can do what it likes with our data and it doesn't feel it has to ask us. If anything the default is that you have to opt out of their processing of your data. Which is predatory behaviour as people need to know that they can opt out and the procedure for it needs to be simple, clear and concise. "

So that's me received the confirmation that my stuff is removed from Bigstack.

Which is good. It shows the Optout requests are being done.

Go to check again for librecasts old github account. Looks like I missed some.

Opens new ticket

While I did think it is important for Software Heritage to archive code, I wish it was done Opt-in.

It would be nice to be asked and for that code to be curated. This is not curation. This is automation.

onepict,
@onepict@chaos.social avatar

@webmink Which is a nobel pursuit.

I'd still prefer some curation of that code. Like the Internet Archive does.

What use are several copies of Forks that contain the same code because a dev took a copy to look at later? It's wasteful and takes up space.

onepict,
@onepict@chaos.social avatar

@webmink @dentangle @interpeer

True they just let the LLM have access to the stuff they got from github.

So at what point will the LLM grab the archived data from Codeberg etc?

Also what does it mean in terms of the software supply chain with derived code from LLMs. Where is the liability?

🚨 BOOST CHALLENGE! 🚨Ok and . If I tell my Canadian Member of Parliament, Gord Johns, that he will get 2000 followers within one week of creating a Mastodon account, will you make that happen?

I want him to be able to say when he stands in the House and presents the petition for an official Fediverse server that he himself is the first Canadian MP to be on the Fediverse!

Boost for yes! I am going to show him this post! I'm counting on you, literally! 🔥 🙏 2️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ 🙏
