Is there interop with OSM? Happy to see CC ownership of community work. OSM currently does the whole review thing, I’d love to see them work together

The reviews are of points in the OSM map, and they are published as open data with a permissive license so that they can used for anything. So it’s not a project associated with OSM, but they work perfectly together nevertheless. That’s the beauty of open data.

> Utilities, Insurance, *gaming*??? What makes these any different from any other service?
Sector-specific regulation, which already exceeded the requirements of general consumer law.
@neil when you say exceeded, does that mean that insurance companies must also allow termination of auto-renewals?
Some do, and I try to use them but some still don't offer the choice at sign-up and require a phone call (once contracted) to change to non auto renew.
Wir sind ready auf der electronica und sind vom 10. bis 13. November dabei!

@Phosphenes @cstross @akamran I recall #TerryPratchett saying that after his first mass signing it took him some time to get his signature back to something resembling the one on his bank card.
@tokensane @Phosphenes @cstross @akamran My dad’s system was to use a different form of his name for his signing-art signature from his signing-contracts signature. Would also be a benefit of writing under a pseudonym?

@algernon So, I know this guy on the internet, who makes really twisty mazes for unwelcome visitors...
I didn't want to route HNers into the maze, because an HTTP 418 is more surprising. I'm starting to reconsider that... but I'd prefer if my stuff just weren't posted to HN in the first place, and I'm not convinced that routing into the maze would help achieve that.
A horrible image might do a better job in this case. Or maybe a maze of horrible images, hmm....
Did you know the British hedgehog has been on the endangered species red list since 2020?
Did you know the state paid farmers over years to remove a substantial amount of hedgerows?
Did you know their next best choice of place to rest over winter is your winter bedding area among the vegetation and leaves.
If I can ask a small favour of anyone this winter:
PLEASE dont close off that tiny gap under your fence, and please leave a corner of your bedding that can wait until February March to be carefully tidied or turned over.
Be wary of garden forks into winter compost piles. Hedgehogs are your friends. Invite them in. Dont use slug pellets, just make an e environment that hogs are drawn to. They'll do the work for free.
**single entry boxes that garden centres profit from are a potential danger from predators for hogs becausethey cant escape claws and snouts. They're also neither damp resistant or insulated inside.**
My counterespionage policy?
Feeling very lucky that one amazing woman already wants to be with me.
@neil
Did she pass your background checks?
For that matter, did *you* pass your background checks?
anyone know any cool software for AC line voltage and frequency monitoring via soundcard, suitable for running on a small battery-powered computer (e.g. raspi)?
@qualia not helpful but slightly related: I wonder if when synchronized with PTP / GPSDO, using geographically distributed stations, whether you can observe relative phase shift (between the stations) to measure power flow in the distribution network
@connynasch
Unsure where you got that idea from? Signal is the only comms I still trust to use with comrades. No other alternative exists that I'm aware of.
Telegram is where I saw a lot of fascists folks. I deleted that app awhile back.
@PhoenixSerenity thank you for explaining it - I was not aware 😊 @mgeist

@dequbed How about an airport having to deal with a sudden and complete outage of one of their datacenters? At a random time? This is a real scenario that they test at least twice a year. By going through that, they have identified bottlenecks and unexpected problems that they fixed. Experience beats theory, is their mantra.
@jwildeboer I don't think that's comparable. For one, airports mostly deal in heavily redundant systems (backup radars for example) which can run in parallel (which a fridge obviously can't) and secondly airports have the option of diverting and grounding all flights. You can not stop food distribution.

Thanks! Right now calls are between Normals accounts only. There's no standard for calls in ActivityPub yet, it covers posts, follows and replies, not real-time audio or video, at least not yet. So there's nothing we could federate a call over yet :(, and as far as I know Mastodon, Lemmy and the rest don't have calls either.
Federated calling does exist on other networks (Matrix, and XMPP with Jingle), but not in the ActivityPub Fediverse. If a standard shows up, we'd love to look at it, as long as calls stay e2e encrypted.

We have implemented the promises we made
A few weeks ago, we mentioned implementing messaging in Normals. Currently, only one-on-one calls are possible, but we've managed to get it working while maintaining privacy, the rules, and the philosophy. If it's well-received by the community, we might consider expanding the chat to group chats, but this is still a costly architectural decision that we would need to cover. However, we hope you find it useful. As Team Lead for https://normals.me, I'm available to answer any questions related to this, both functional and architectural.
The basic description, security and architecture information is in the announcements thread on Mastodon and Normals.
