poVoq here. I am starting to think I am cursed, because everything works fine (or is at least fixanle with a remote server restart) until the second I go on a longer business trip and can’t easily access the hardware.
Remote access is mostly lost, but I was able to triangulate the issue and of course it is something I had on my list of potential issues, but as a low priority item 🫠 At least it isn’t the same problem again as in 2025.
What exactly triggered the issue is unclear though. I was still able to access the reverse-proxy server yesterday (shortly before it went down) and tried to do some updates for that php security problem in a VM that runs on the same machine. I thought I had those covered, but there is a slight chance that it is related and someone chained another exploit to escape the VM.
Anyways, it looks like the realistic / not overly optimistic scenario is that the server will stay down until christmas. I did have someone who could restart the servers on site until this summer, but they had to relocate to mainland Portugal for job reasons (tourism sector) and so they will also only return for christmas.
So yeah, not great at all, and I will have to think more seriously about how compatible this kind of self-hosting is with my current job, which limits my access to the servers for a few weeks at least once a year. It was easier during the pandemic times when I started all this, as deployments were shorter and more seldom back then.
And here I was thinking I was silly for asking that question last month on where to find you if we’re down. I ruined it guys, it’s my fault. I jinxed it. 😂😭😭

Have you tried leaving for a couple hours and then coming back and giving the server a couple of bytes of a treat? You know, ease the server into you leaving.

> Will LibreOffice be able to get back on the right path?
Given that the output to the master branch is a guestimated 95% either leeched manual backports from #CollaboraOfficeOnline authored work or slop these days -- unlikely.

heh, glad that I forked GratisOffice before the slop started.
@Sweetshark @daemonspudguy @atax1a oh wow really *that* much
i knew it was ~50% Collabora when they threw Collabora out of TDF, what on earth are they *doing* in there now
do you know Collabora's AI code policy at all?
올해 11月(월) 末(말) 서울에서 開催(개최)되는 @fossforall Conference 2026에서 〈Oseo: SBCL 스타일의 JavaScript/TypeScript AOT 컴파일러〉라는 題目(제목)으로 發表(발표)합니다. Oseo는 JavaScript/TypeScript를 인터프리터나 JIT 없이 미리 네이티브 코드로 컴파일하는 프로젝트로, 動的(동적) 타입 言語(언어)임에도 오래 前(전)부터 AOT 컴파일러가 쓰여 온 SBCL이나 Chez Scheme 같은 Common Lisp 및 Scheme 系譜(계보)에서 靈感(영감)을 얻었습니다. 모든 函數(함수)를 저네릭(generic) 經路(경로)와 가드가 붙은 特殊化(특수화) 經路(경로)로 두 벌 컴파일해 두고, 가드가 失敗(실패)하면 바이너리 안의 저네릭 經路(경로)로 갈라질 뿐 最適化(최적화) 解除(해제)(deoptimization) 같은 건 하지 않는 게 核心(핵심) 아이디어입니다.
아직 未完成(미완성)인 프로젝트라, 實際로(실제로) 돌아가는 모습과 앞으로 남은 길을 함께 보여드릴 豫定(예정)입니다. 寄與(기여)에 關心(관심) 있는 분도 歡迎(환영)합니다.

It's been an honour and a learning experience to serve as a Director with CoSocial. I didn't run again because I have other life and projects in the year ahead.
Excited to see a new Board with new energy and to focus on being an active working group member for now
@whitequark @mcc my biggest criticism of wayland has nothing to do with any particular technical choice about how things got implemented, it’s how they were documented and, crucially, how they were *rolled out*. the experience of figuring out the recommended migration path for anything feels like looking for secrets in a Wolfenstein level. I just run around bashing into everything at random in the hopes that I will find a hint that leads me to a treasure. also, nazis all over the place
@glyph @whitequark maybe they'll write useful documentation if we tell them our AI code assistants need them
Just learned that there's legislation in the US that prevents Medicare from negotiating prices at the launch of a new drug.
That is NOT what the market will bear. This is legislated price fixing and what amounts to corporate welfare. If anyone tells you America is about markets and free enterprise, laugh in their face.
As always, Go Birds. Also as always, fuck Dallas.
@stumblewyk two of the worst defenses in the league.
Take the over.

It has everything to do with the Fediverse as this is precisely the kind of problem the Fediverse was designed to minimize and grapple with, so how that problem is evolving in the corporate social media world is directly relevant to the Fediverse even though it is not part of it, the failure of corporate social media to grapple with these problems elucidates why we are trying to solve those problems best in some ways.
It occurs to me that a casual observer could infer that I see food purely as a vehicle for chili-based condiments.
@lightweight Kind of like my daughter with Kewpie mayonnaise.

Student projects such as note-taking apps and PDF viewers
Are PDF viewers a common student project? I always assumed the file standard must be a labyrinthine mess given all the features they’ve crammed into it over the years. Or is there some popular library that takes 99% of the work out of it?
@jmac I just met one across the street when the fire trucks came
@shapr I’m not sure if this is a reference to something or if you’ve had an interesting day

This is such a brutal thing. Yes job loss is not nice even if they get some money to exit. The whole IT sector is now a race to the bottom until AI causes a massive job and stock market crash and then nobody will have a job, pensions will be burned out in stock market scams and meanwhile, some of these AI tech bros will have made billions in profits. Well done, Microsoft and every other batshit crazy AI company.
@nixCraft geninely hoping the AI bubble bursts as soon as possible
@davidgerard
Great 😑
Any suggestions of what program I can switch to? I have a LOT of old writing docs done with LO
@angelteeth older LO basically
@Mrfunkedude well done! I'm proud of you💖
