Glad to see with Jev that people are rediscovering *checks notes*

Expert systems and classifiers?

reminder to bsky ppl:

Wafrn can connect with Bluesky, you can move your account here, keep your data and followers, and also be independent from bsky the company

just check the video of alexia posting to wafrn, and it being on bsky after:

@Downes @swf A minimum for what?

@zolotkey 😆 no, those are good guys. They don't deserve that. We all make mistakes.

@light Isn't it a feature of all Discourse forums?

Hey #NetBSD users,
can you share with a n00b how you keep your hosts patched and up to date?

I am used to use freebsd-update/pkgbase and have tried syspatch on OpenBSD once, but here I am completely clueless. 🫠

In #Persian, we've got a saying "A handful, a sample of the pile". It's for generalization of a small sample to a whole group.

For instance, I see few math students who use a small whiteboard. I say "See! This is a handful, a sample of the pile". Here I'm saying most(or all) math students use a small whiteboard.

What are the equivalent sayings in #BritishEnglish, #AmericanEnglish, #IrishEnglish and #AustralianEnglish?

What about other languages? If you are a native speaker, what similar saying or proverb have you got in your language?

If you like, a boost will be good :)

@peteorrall "time flies" - but it's true!

you can keep your accooountttt, and your followers and all your posts, and you can write posts that are longer than 300 characterrsss and you can restrict your posts to be visible to followers only (if your followers are on wafrn or fedi), and you can do fun css crimes

bluesky sucks, and everyone on bluesky is complaining about how much bluesky sucks, because the developers are VC-funded transphobic AI accelerationists, wafrn and many of its instances are developed and moderated by furries, queers and gabbo, it's a much easier and gentler transition than X->Bluesky because you're not giving up anything

@paul @eidolies thank you, Paul!

@MostlyTato The most important thing is that they learned and nothing was destroyed. Now they know. They're good people, and I'm sure they won't do it again.

Anyway, this week has also brought many really positive things.

Yesterday morning I had a meeting with a public institution. The people in charge are really good, both technically and as human beings. We've known each other for almost 20 years, and we've been working together ever since.

"The institutions above us are pushing to move everything to closed solutions. We see things differently.

We'll keep running our email with open source solutions, just as we've done until now, without problems. We'll keep using LibreOffice, providing Open Source operating systems on the PCs in our libraries, managing our files and collaboration with systems like Nextcloud.

We don't want to depend on closed clouds run by third-party companies.

We want our consultants working on our machines, looking after our data. Not their consultants working on their machines, with our data inside, which effectively becomes theirs.

Can you keep supporting us?"

I had a late lunch.

But the photos of my lunch should make it pretty clear what my answer was, and how happy I was to give it.

They're not refusing to move forward. They're refusing to follow the trend of locking themselves into someone else's cage.

Luckily, the world is also full of really good people.

@mxchara it's an example we used to use 25 years ago.

@eidolies 😆
The truth is: the customer said "now go and publish this on your Cafe".
"Hey, I'm quite sure many others will read it"
He, smiling: "Sure, we deserve it".

And I'm sure he's reading the entire thread, as I sent the link 😉

Slackware + Btrfs subvolumes.

I wrote a short guide for installing Slackware64-current with @ and @home using the standard installer.

@stefano i mean, at least the Linux kernel was developed by a team of professionals in the first place, rather than some kid in his bedroom arrogant enough to argue with the guy who literally wrote the book on operating system design
