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

@mcc Since AMD64 is popular on personal computers, I just abbreviate it as PPC (Personal PC).

@yura There's no stock Android. There's the stock OS on specific devices which is usually far behind the current Android version. If they haven't tested on the Pixel OS or a build of current AOSP then they're not comparing to a standard up-to-date Android OS.

It's extraordinarily unlikely that it's an issue caused by GrapheneOS. It could be an upstream AOSP issue also impacting the Pixel OS but it's equally likely that there's something very wrong with the network uncovered by Android 17.

Aus Post is evidently doing some matching on its customer dataset and combining records that it perhaps ought not.

I’ve started receiving delivery status emails to a work mailbox when I order things to be sent to my house, because I use the same mobile number for both. I haven’t found a way to tell Aus Post to stop doing that.

Mum did a mail order with Minimax last week and got a delivery update saying that her parcel from [Minimax’s executive marketing manager’s name] was on board for delivery.

It’d be really nice if Aus Post worked only with the information I give it for each transaction. But this seems to be an unpopular opinion in corporate circles.

@timonus indeed! don't tell anyone about it

@troler Thank you for your kind words! Yes, it is still taking a lot of time for changing this perception they have of us as "resources provider" and change that into "being one of them". But time, understanding, building a safe space, with regular hours for food to remove stress, cat toys, blankets, all of that really do wonders.

There is only ONE reason to stay outside of the company. If he misused his role as CEO to have sex with employees. That is an absolute showstopper. All other reasons are irrelevant.

"Sean Astin, 55, is best known for playing underdog characters in movies such as 'Rudy' and 'The Lord of the Rings,' who overcome great odds.

"Now, he’s in one of his most challenging roles yet as leader of about 160,000 SAG-AFTRA members, many of whom are alarmed about diminishing work, industry consolidation and the rise of artificial intelligence. A central focus as president is to bring jobs back to the U.S. — a tall order given the steady exodus of film work to other countries."

@fesshole
I agree with your decision, but…

To decate is a textile finishing process used to make fabric more lustrous, soften its feel, and set it to reduce shrinkage.

@mcc I was gonna say this is half the difficulty of elden ring. I've not even played it I've just watched others play it and all the characters are called Maradogodrich

@yura It looks more like an issue with the Wi-Fi networks redirecting traffic to local network addresses which can no longer be accessed by apps targeting Android 17+ without the Nearby Devices permission group. A permission for accessing local network addresses was added to Android 17 and legacy apps are granted that access by default for backwards compatibility. Most apps still don't target Android 17 but will be forced to do so before the end of 2027 by the Play Store as usual.
