good news, us racism
The Proud Boys lost their trademark and logo rights to a Black church they vandalized.
TIL that there's a utility called kio-fuse which just completely solves the "cannot open files from remote filesystems without copying first in KDE" issue on #NixOS
If you use #NameCheap for anything, another round of "Your Auto-Renewal Payment Didn’t Go Through" phishing emails are hitting inboxes. #infosec
Where they are getting real emails that link up to real domain renewal whois records, esp if you use domain privacy options, I'm not sure. They sent it to a dedicated email account that I use exclusively for Namecheap that shouldn't be in the publicverse.
uspol, 50501 protest, warning!
If you’ve heard about the 50501 protest (“50 protests in 50 states”), PLEASE be advised that it is really fishy. People in our local organizing community and in other states have looked into it and cannot find the organizers. Especially if you are a new activist, please get in contact with local long-time activist orgs and get plugged in. Learn from them!
In the words of a very good friend:
Dank u voor de meer dan 100 persoonlijke reacties op m'n Cloud Kootwijk stuk! Ik heb het geprobeerd maar het is niet haalbaar inhoudelijk op iedereen te reageren, wat knap ellendig voelt, maar het is nu even niet anders. Wel kom ik de komende dagen met een reactie naar iedereen. Sorry hiervoor, maar ik ben echt overdonderd! https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/mailen-en-communiceren-zonder-musk-en-trump-cloud-kootwijk/
This post explains how it works: https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/fixed-please-include-kio-fuse-in-the-kde-desktop-metapackage/11437/17
Like, you literally just have to add it to your systemPackages and that's it, now it all works and it auto-generates FUSE mounts for stuff instead of expecting every application to support KIO explicitly (which of course only KDE software does)

Eten we binnenkort eendenkroos?
#koken #eten #food
"Oorspronkelijk wordt kroos in Europa nauwelijks gegeten, al vonden de onderzoekers er wel een verwijzing naar in een Nederlands kruidenboek uit 1644. In Aziatische landen is het gewas meer in de keuken te vinden. Als het aan de onderzoekers uit Wageningen ligt, gaat het grote publiek in Europa er over een paar jaar ook mee kennismaken."
CW-boost: politiek (VS en NL)
I'm not sure if this is just my recommendations bubble, but I've been noticing a significant uptick on YouTube lately of non-Linux-nerds publishing "why I'm switching to <FOSS thing>" videos, with their motivation being mainly practical, political or ideological (rather than technical).
It's interesting to see and I'm not entirely sure where this pattern started.
To clarify: I'm talking about using the incremental node location mechanism to find the closest N nodes to a given key, except instead of the key being eg. a content hash, it's *also* a node ID.
And then each peer just maintains a session with the N closest publicly-connectable nodes to it, and someone wanting to connect *to* a firewalled/NATed peer finds those same N closest connectable nodes and asks one of them to relay traffic to the target peer for it.
Hey y'all, if you want a cloud sync that doesn't involve you giving your files to a third party, then SyncThing is pretty great.
Free, open source, open protocol, Mac, Linux, Windows, Android, frequent updates, works well between version changes, etc.
If you're a bit nerdy you can have all your things sync to your own server, along with versioning in case you make an oops.
If you're less nerdy you can still get your phone+laptop+desktop all in sync, which is grand.

- No alt text (request) = no boost.
- Boosts OK for all boostable posts.
- DMs are open.
- Flirting welcome, but be explicit if you want something out of it!
- The devil doesn't need an advocate; no combative arguing in my mentions.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
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.
