Ever since I met two very nice clowns on fedi I cannot use the word to disparage anything or anybody. Clowns are cool.

The fediverse has performed well above my expectations today in terms of both snark and useful information.
10/10, no notes.
Well, aside from the lack of alt text on images. Provide image descriptions, people. It's not hard.

Hi good people! hope you all don't mind me asking, but blacktwitter.io server needs some financial support! I've made this spreadsheet to share the revenue/costs transparently.

@TyberiusPrime For some reason this damn thing just keeps complaining that "no password was sent" regardless of how I change the database config :/

you know, it feels like everyone just completely forgot about project 2025 after the trump assassination attempt
From how things are going, I think I'm going to blame this one on Wallabag, not on NixOS

Important news: After almost 7 years without a sighting, I have once again seen the Sainsbury’s car park fox
I apologise for the poor picture but they were very intent on hiding in the bushes behind the petrol station so I had to be quick
stackoverflow grumbling
So apparently StackOverflow is full of people asking "I am trying to set up domain socket connections with peer auth and getting a 'no password' error, how do I fix this"
Followed by an endless stream of people suggesting "try setting a password", clearly not understanding what the question is

Hi, fedi admin friends! I'm excited to announce a tool that I've been building for the last few weeks: ModShark, an auto-moderator for Sharkey instances
This is a standalone application that integrates with Sharkey to provide background scanning of instances, users, notes, and other objects. Rule patterns and reporting methods are configurable, and the process is completely non-destructive (ModShark only issues reports - actions are left up to staff decision). Scanning logic is lightweight and efficient - designed to run well even on resource-constrained systems.
If this sounds useful, then please check out the link above! I'd be glad to answer questions or offer technical support if desired. I've been dog-fooding ModShark for weeks and can run it reliably on Windows and Ubuntu systems.

Setting up Wallabag on NixOS is turning out to be an absolute pain.
@StroomAfwaarts It's the time of the week when the most people are likely to be around, awake, alert, and able to deal with bodged updates. No weekend hangovers, no lazy last days of the workweek, etc.
@sofia@chaos.social That question is exactly what society *should* be configured to work out, but currently isn't.
It's not the sort of question you can easily solve on your own, which is exactly why people have so much trouble balancing even their personal needs, let alone communal needs. It requires social support structures.
But that doesn't mean it can't be answered. It just means that the tools we have today (and I'm looking at the policing system in particular, and how it is applied to conflicts) are not suitable for the task.

A software to mitigate cyber attacks caused more economical damage than any single cyber attack so far.
Did I get that right?
@sofia@chaos.social But that's my point - why is it about *comparing* needs? That is still presupposing that different needs are incompatible and that's where conflict comes from, but in practice that is rarely the case, and I'm not convinced that happens often enough to pose a societal problem.
@sofia@chaos.social I mostly feel like this doesn't address the core problem with a legalistic approach to conflict resolution: it still frames the conflict as opposing parties where the task is to figure out who is "the most right", as opposed to framing it in terms of needs and which solution might address the maximal amount of needs
Turns out there's a reason that Patch Tuesday is on Tuesday

we live in a meritocracy. people move up the ladder because of their skills and hard work. nobody gave it to me I had to earn it. do you know how many outages it took for me to build this kind of skillset?
