It appears, but it also does not have a title, which is odd at the very least for a post on Lemmy

Impressed with my new shaver, which I used for almost 6 months without needed to charge it. Told all my mates to get one due to the brilliant battery life. Recently discovered my wife charges it for me.

This isn't rhetorical I really want to know if we are still in the bad times or if some sanity has returned to at least this aspect of computing.

New features

• Shared blocklists - these are like feeds except instead of listing communities to join it lists people to block. To to Account -> Blocklists to find this feature. Changes by the blocklist author effect all the people who subscribe to the list, causing them to block the list members. They federate, so you can subscribe to blocklists on other instances.
• Edit comments inline, without loading a separate page - wjs018
• Fediverse statistics at piefed.social/statistics
• 2-factor authentication (TOTP) - can be added to your account in the ‘Security’ page in your settings.

For admins

• Auto-ban based on the bans that instances you choose, with keyword matching on the ban reason. Go to /admin/users/auto_ban. Try putting ‘piefed.social’ in as the instance and ‘spam’ as the keyword filter. It’ll cut down on the work involved in running your instance SO much.
• Voting pattern graph on user profiles to help spot automated voting.
• Reset the password of any user.
• Lots of inauthentic behaviour reports for finding bots and serial downvoters, see /admin/votes and PM me for an instructional video. It’s a lot to take in but the video will explain it all.

API

• edit matrix user id when saving user profile data.
• scheduled post endpoints - wjs018

Plus a lot more bits and pieces, browse the list of recent releases in the 1.8.x line at codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/releases for details.

To upgrade from 1.8.x or earlier

git pull
git checkout v1.9.x

@carnage4life

Have you not seen the last decade of gerrymandering, antivoting right SCOTUS cases and industrial scale radicalization of media (online and traditional)?

Of course they thought there would never be free and fair elections. The GOP, techbros and crypto VCs have been actively destroying every part of the system.

And don't kid yourself about how free and fair 2026 was. A huge % are still gerrymandered, purged from rolls and/or caught in disinfo bubbles.

In this long thread, @MaddieM4 argues that a general-purpose allocator can never do an optimal job. I've written an application-specific memory allocator, but not a general-purpose one. I have, however, written a general-purpose disk-space allocator, which has the luxury of being able to afford large amounts of processing because it's coupled with a slow disk I/O. And that experience persuades me that Maddie's thesis is correct: when you allocate space of any kind, there's too much you would like to know that a simple give-me-N-bytes interface doesn't tell you. In particular, you want to know what the requestor's future intentions are, and whether it expects to expand the allocation, by how much, and how soon.

With that, I'll bid you goodnight.

That's a good idea.

I've not looked into buying computer storage in a long time, how fucked are hard drive prices right now?

With it looking like FreeBSD is heading in the direction of approving a pro-AI policy, those of us who are against the use of AI don't have a lot of options left. Maybe it's time we all start supporting/helping the OS projects that are actively trying their best not to use AI/LMMs in the development process.

NetBSD
HaikuOS
RedoxOS

This is a short list and I am sure there are more.

I know from experience that the projects that I've listed need help with hardware support. I'm not a developer but I am going to try my best to help in any way that I can.

I'm tired of AI use ruing everything that I love about tech.

What is its name ?

I don't know when it happened, but at some point something Apple did broke the sharing of YouTube videos as web pages (that is URL + page title) so now I can't throw YouTube pages into Drafts as easily

I find this very annoying
