Help
What's the proportions ratio for social media banners? The more for different platforms you know the better, but at least Mastodon's should work for now. Thanks.
(Asking bc wanna make a shitty banner for myself)

pol, talking about disability and unemployment as an able-bodied employed person
disabled people and people who are unable to work are working class, simple as. the role capitalism has assigned to them is working, and that's precisely the reason why they're shamed and portrayed as a burden for being unable to work and fulfill that role. they're used as an example for people capable of working of what happens when you don't work or lose your job.
capitalist economic exploitation can't exist without coercion, and coercion can't exist without harsh consequences for people who don't have a job AND a constant reminder of this threat.
even tho i align with orthodox marxism in many ways, I strongly disagree with its portrayal of the "lumpenproletariat". marxists already reject splitting the working class in many instances, like PMC theory, as revisionist. why is it okay to do it in the instance of the "lumpen"? just because marx did it? this shit isn't the bible. the class interests between the working part and the non-working part of the proletariat clearly align, they're the victims of inherently connected mechanisms of the same system. the disabled and the homeless are already regularly used as scapegoats for economic hardships caused by capitalism, and introducing a fictional class divide here is only going to open the door for that even in leftist circles.
on average disabled people probably have a lot more class consciousness than a lot of able-bodied people. many of them organize and participate in activism. the idea that they have "no revolutionary potential" doesn't reflect reality today. maybe it never did and the people who theorized this lacked perspectives, but a lot of things also changed since then, we have the internet now, as an example.

@serapath Not quite talking about eclipse attacks; rather just old-fashioned "try to be the chosen relay node to map out connections of other parties".
Is there a security design document for HyperDHT?
I was just trying to make a DHT, why do I always get distracted by tangents 😩
(Not that this isn't going to be useful at some future time)

Ok, I have sifted through #altText discussions, and this is what I am gonna do as a standard:
Asking for help: #alt4me tag and
@imagecaptionspls group. So follow those if you want to keep an eye out for opportunities to help.
Reply with #alt4you and I'll edit my toot and add better alt Text.
I heartily encourage everyone to follow the tag and group, not just for me, but because it helps so many ppl. We take care of each other here, and it is fekkin beautiful.

Sometimes kōtare (sacred kingfishers) are so focused on what’s for breakfast that they don’t notice me getting quite close.

Was looking into P2P relay routing with relay discovery as a side effect of DHT traversal, and realized that this would create some issues with bias in peer selection (specifically a surveillance node could sit on a specific DHT path to increase chances of being selected)
Oops, I am accidentally doing surveillance-resistant DHT design now, I guess

We're recruiting a new member to wrangle messy open energy data! If you want to put your #Python skills to work on the #EnergyTransition creating #OpenSource software and #OpenData, and value having flexibility and autonomy in your workplace, check out the job description and instructions for applying here:
@hazelnot There seems to be https://www.universalmediaserver.com/? Probably not 1:1 in featureset but seems pretty similar in concept

Help I'm thinking of finally caving to peer pressure and making an account on that other new social media website that's so hot right now, but gosh I seem to have forgotten its name!
"Aeva, it's called ___"
@eloy RFC says so!
@freakazoid Not according to RFC 2396, they are just a permitted character 🙃
TIL you can have dots in the protocol/scheme part of a URL

Zo! Dat ging een stuk sneller dan verwacht. Inmiddels 156 volgers (en ja, we proberen iedereen terug te volgen ;) )
Uit de verschillende comments blijkt dat jullie niet zitten te wachten op een automatische berichtenfeed vanaf de site. Dat is ook niet het plan.
Is er dan helemaal geen plan? Jawel, een plek die toegankelijker is dan een info@-mailadres en hopelijk een actieve #wetenschapsnieuws-community in de #Fediverse op Mastodon :) En lijsten van interessante mensen om te volgen natuurlijk.
(Also please take a moment to contribute to OpenFoodFacts if you have some time, it's a very useful site, despite the very... suboptimal UI. Even just adding sharp pictures of product packaging is very helpful, then other people can extract the information from it)
On a related note, did you know that OpenFoodFacts has an ingredient volume estimator built in? If you add ingredients and nutritional values for a product to the database, then under 'ingredient analysis' you can see the volume (min/max) of each ingredient that it estimates and infers based on the available data, even when it is not explicitly listed on the packaging.
It's not perfect and it's always going to be an estimate, but it's very useful for answering questions like "does this contain a little bit or quite a lot?"

Me: wtf is this plug, I don't need it *unplugs it*
Also me later: "hey why is the wi-fi not working"
Today I found https://ciqual.anses.fr/, which is a searchable database of (average) nutritional values for a *wide* variety of ingredients, far more detailed than any nutrition label you might find on a product. Useful when you have specific nutrient restrictions or requirements!
Answers questions like "how much calcium do cashew nuts have" without having to wade through 50 pages of blogspam and LLM barf first.
