Potential solution
@rallias Yep, that worked, thanks :D

Fans of 
gadgets, the NS Upcycle pop-up store is returning to Rotterdam Centraal again. Days of operation:
25 March: 15:00 till 20:00
26-29 March: 08:00 till 20:00
30 March: 10:00 till 18:00
@rallias I was trying to determine if there's a QMP command for a hard shutdown and somehow ended up here

Peak HN is saying "I trust Redis to not do something weird with their licensing" in response to Microsoft releasing their garnet (faster redis replacement) project two days ago. Visionary.

Just ran into an absolutely cursed support thread...
"We have a VM that has started to hard shutdown on the 24th of every month for the last 3 months."

JS, ESM/CommonJS
... perhaps more interestingly, said package has seen a constant decline in its total download count over time
JS, ESM/CommonJS
For reference, the package I am currently looking at officially switched to ESM 4 years(!) ago. I don't know, but maybe people should be drawing some insight from this...
@serapath I'm fine with any recommendations that fit the criteria in the original post; I'll be able to do any further filtering myself :)
JS, ESM/CommonJS
It's 2024 and the fastest way to determine what the last CommonJS release of a package was, is still to look at the version history and see which one gets downloaded the most

If your answer is "I don't know": you should have a look at your finances to figure out the answer.
If the answer is "0%": well, you have some work to do then. The #mutualaid tag is a good place to start.

If you have a job that pays well enough that you can afford to buy neat tech stuff to play with...
What percentage of your income are you setting aside, to support the needs of other people through things like mutual aid requests and grassroots food distribution groups?

there once was a lamp that could turn anyone into a woman by merely standing in its light. people came from far and wide to see it, but to their dismay the lamp was rarely lit. for this lamp ran on a special fuel, and that fuel was heavily guarded. it had all been gathered up and stored in a fortress, and that fortress had only one way in or out, through a big iron gate. the only way to get the fuel was to get permission from the person in charge of the gate, the girl light gas keep gate boss.
@serapath I don't have especially strong preferences beyond the things stated above; I'd like to explore the things that exist, and see what makes sense to me (as I may well be missing things).
It's just that a lot of the anti-capitalist tech things I've run into so far have one of the above issues; and while some of those are not an issue for small projects, they're definitely an issue when trying to encourage broader adoption of anti-capitalist systems.
So for reasons of spoons conservation, I'd like to explore some collectives that don't have a built-in opposition to palatability by the general public
Are there any anti-capitalist tech collectives that don't have a toxic culture, and that don't throw accessibility, reliability or the public commons under the bus? 
@aeva (This seems to have its roots in PHP's CGI-esque model that doesn't allow for long-running processes, therefore needing an external service for cross-request coordination? And that somehow got ported over to ecosystems that don't actually have that problem to begin with)
@aeva You'd (unfortunately) be surprised how often Redis is recommended as a task queue solution even in technical stacks where that would be solvable with a variable in global-ish scope (like JS)

facebook threads, fedi (actionable)
https://todon.eu/@queue/112130436372737490
To very little surprise, Facebook's Threads platform (the one that was supposedly so enthusiastic about the Fediverse) is now hiding all mentions of Pixelfed - the Fediverse software that's competing with their Instagram platform. Hopefully this makes it clear that they were never going to federate in good faith.
Things you can do:
1. Sign the Fedipact (if you run your own instance) or ask your admin to do so (if you don't) to commit to defederating from Threads: https://fedipact.online/
2. Support the creator of the Fedipact, vantablack, who is in financial and housing trouble: https://cyberpunk.lol/@vantablack/112080004580673240
