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.

Happy #PolarPrideDay 🏳️🌈❄️ Das Überwinterungsteam der Neumayer-Station III in der #Antarktis schickt Grüße zum Polar Pride Day!
Selbst hier am Rande des antarktischen Schelfeises hat die Bedeutung von Vielfalt und Inklusion in der Wissenschaft einen hohen Stellenwert. Polar Pride erinnert uns daran, dass dass jeder in der Polarforschungsgemeinschaft willkommen ist.

Interior replacement stickering at NS Techniek could be improved upon.
@serapath Because P2P systems have their own problems, which I do not intend to relitigate here right now, and I am trying to explore the federated systems space, which doesn't have those problems. Which is why I asked specifically about federated systems and not P2P systems.
I have to be honest, I'm getting a bit tired of the way you respond to these kinds of conversations, because you often seem to be far more interested in pushing your personal preferences than in actually engaging with the topic presented. This is replyguy behaviour and it is neither wanted nor helpful. And it's far from the first time.
When someone sets the parameters of a conversation, like specifying that this is about topic X, you really need to stop trying to change those parameters by being pushy about topic Y instead. I get it, you are more interested in topic Y, and that is fine. But that is not what I asked about and it is not relevant to the conversation I am trying to have.
@serapath Okay, but I asked about federated systems, not P2P systems.
