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.

If anyone sees this bus – it's just been stolen in Vienna, and is important infrastructure to a lot of people, including a few times to me myself, but most importantly to @bus_klaus@twitter.com who lives in it. Details and more pictures: http://salon.leobard.net/2022/12/10/our-burner-bus-has-been-stolen-share-immediately/

1. Crows are super smart.
2. Crows can remember faces.
3. Crows have regional dialects.
4. Crows investigate the cause of death of the deceased.
5. Crows make & use tools.
6. Crows hide their food.
7. Crows have the largest brain to body ratio of any bird. Their brain to body ratio is bigger than humans.
8. A group of crows is called 'a murder of crows'.

An important reminder at this time of year:
You are under no obligation to maintain a tradition that you do not enjoy or cannot afford.
Guess I'll spend my crappy eSun filament on Gridfinity bins...

Found this in my images and thought it would be useful to someone else/ they might also find this interesting.

people keep spending too much time thinking about what a technology *is* and not enough about *who owns it and how they profit from it.*
and even less time thinking about *how they can destroy that property relation and liberate the underlying technology* if it's useful

Just learned of this giant adorable fox sculpture in Rotterdam and now I must share it with everyone.

@joepie91 This is not an answer, but I really hope there *is* a good answer.
I'd love to have an "internet" VM that simulates a (small scale) global internet, with packet losses, variable latency, etc., in a configurable way, along with a way to hook up individual client VMs to the fake-internet (with simulated NAT etc. like you mention). A turn-key solution really ought to be possible, but I'm not sure one exists.

What's the easiest way to set up a simulated network with ISP-style NAT? Preferably without buying dedicated hardware for the purpose, and preferably reproducible for other developers.
Usecase: I am developing a P2P system, and need a reasonably representative environment to test my software in, and how well it deals with shitty residential networking configurations.
I'm a developer, not a network engineer, so my knowledge of networks is limited to a developer perspective and I don't have the spoons to learn it in-depth.
Boosts appreciated 
What. KDE's SFTP integration just broke, and frustration-F5ing my file browser actually worked to fix it???

is it bad if your VM is reporting a CPU temperature of -273 degrees celsius

post.news bullshit
Honestly, this is as large an inditement of the *vibe* at post.news as I could imagine: a white cis dude getting all self-important and pissy because of a moderation decision, then deciding to mansplain all of the fediverse while getting every relevant detail wrong.
If that's what the culture at post.news is like, I'm glad to have nothing to do with it.

Police discourse, rant
What perhaps pisses me off most in discussions about "should we have police", particularly with liberals, is the incredibly patronizing "well, they are necessary to keep society safe".
Like, do you genuinely think that we have somehow completely failed to consider this extremely obvious argument that has been thrown at us literally since we were children, and that gets reinforced on a daily basis in pretty much every form of commercial media that there is?
How is it in any way respectful towards your discussion partner to make that assumption? That they must have not only spent zero time thinking about the topic, but are not even aware of the ubiquitous argument that "everybody knows", and it falls upon you to educate them?
If this is how you start that discussion, then I'm sorry to break it to you, but you're not actually trying to have a real discussion - you're just looking for ways to convince *yourself* that all is fine, and harming the people you're talking to in the process.
Looks like bloodball is over for NL. Good. Finally.
