dansup, nonsense
I've done the math carefully and estimated that the average dansup project is 25% open source

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:

"The Far Far Out"
I've wanted to create a gas giant in 3D with procedural clouds since watching the movie "2010" over four decades ago. I'm so pleased that I finally got the chance to do so.

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/

Is there any website/seller that do reproduction GB cartridge labels that look close to the real thing i.e. reproducing the sheen on the silver edges of the label and nintendo seal of quality logo?
Or if not, what’s the best option you’d recommend?
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."

I used the internet archive's wayback machine to look at an old version of a site, which contained a link to the wayback machine, showing the site itself.
It tried to see if the wayback machine had archived itself, which it turns out the answer is NO.
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.
Hi yes hello content warnings please for the awful shit that Trump and Musk do, also for boosts
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.
