Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

Even completely headless, command line #linux doesn't prioritize #accessibility in any way. Today I had to reinstall an entire #debian system from scratch because a drive listed in my /etc/fstab died. That makes #systemd boot into emergency mode, where you get no SSH, no network, no sound, and no screen reader. There is no quick way to force it to try and boot even though drive 7 of 11 has died, and it could absolutely bring up SSH and the network to let me fix it if it wanted to, just like sysvinit used to do. You can't even force systemd to add SSH and the network to emergency mode because of circular dependencies. nofail will only continue the boot if the drive doesn't exist, but if the filesystem has issues...emergency mode for you. In short: if your drive dies on Linux, fuck you. Be able to see, or reinstall your entire system, because nobody in Linuxland gives a shit about #a11y or your needs.

When you impulse buy a little treat from an artist, what's your budget limit?
This will help me figure out what I can offer in the shop at the pocket money end of the scale.
Please vote and boost so I get the best sample possible!

mooom, the netherlands is making strange noises again
@domi I had to do the same thing a couple weeks ago because they were breaking my Forgejo, though I used a generated denylist: https://wiki.slightly.tech/books/miscellaneous-notes/page/blocking-llm-scrapers-on-alibaba-cloud-from-your-nginx-configuration

today, i have IP-blocked the entirety of alibaba cloud’s IPv4 range (47.80.0.0/13, 47.74.0.0/15, 47.76.0.0/14). And you could ask - domi, what the hell, that’s kinda sorta a lot of addresses?
fucking watch this: that’s sakamoto Mk5, my Ryzen 9 7950X3D server. Never before have I seen forgejo taking this much CPU.
They’ve generated 9GB of access logs (!) and 230GB of generated tarballs (!!!) before I got to my laptop, investigated and ip-banned them. I’m positive that most forgejo deployments in existence wouldn’t survive this.
If you needed another reason to fuck generative AI today - here’s one
@elilla In fairness, that seems like a pretty viable business model nowadays 🙃

Cautionary tale, some details of horrible accident, everyone survives.
@joepie91 someone close to me came inches from dying this way recently. Clothing caught in angle grinder, no dead man switch. Minor chest and shoulder injuries, made a full recovery. Slightly different angle would have gone through the side of his neck.
@rune (It's called STACKIT)
@rune Well, it seems to have an order form 🙃
TIL the Lidl cloud actually became a thing for real

It's the size of about 4 football fields. No, not American football fields, I mean metric football fields
@elilla Wait, that's the Lidl cloud, isn't it??

Free software is about granting people rights, and as such it is incompatible with racism. It is incompatible with homophobia. It is incompatible with "gender critical" ideology. Those people all reject the idea that all humans have rights based on who they are are ideologically incompatible with free software and deserve to be sidelined. We can replace anyone's contributions, we can't replace all those they drive away.

since i see we're brassicaposting again, once again i'd like to share this figure from a peer reviewed academic paper
@modulux The problem is less the trying to solve issues through technology, and more the doing so at the expense of other factors, often even reinventing 'solutions' in a worse way than what we already have by insisting that it be solved by technology and not in any other way.

Unreal tournament? You mean a misinformation contest, like Twitter?
