Well I've landed

Not in the city I intended to land in but I can at least get a ride from here

Maybe next time we don't have a bullshit government?

@Chrs56k
I use Buran for normal reading, but it's a bit buggy and logging in with a certificate doesn't work, so I use RosyCrow for that (posting etc.), but that's fairly buggy too. Lagrange would have been good except it's vibecoded now, so expect that to get even buggier in time...

BBC: Nigeria cautions against travel via Ethiopia's main airport due to altitude

"...The foreign ministry in Abuja said 16 Nigerians with underlying health problems had died this year while transiting through Addis Ababa.

The city sits at an altitude of 2,334m (7,657ft) above sea level, making it one of the highest capitals in the world. Bole International Airport is a major hub for travel between Africa, the Middle East and Asia, serving millions of passengers a year...."

This is Lauren Chen who co-founded Tenet Media, the company which funneled Russian money to conservative influencers, before the FBI stopped them in 2024 and charged two Russian nationals involved in the operation.

She disappeared from the US in 2024, but now she is back. Guess where she is staying.

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

Then,

./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker2.sh

@mattblaze Shocking if true

there is a very nice paper that proposes adding a GhostCell API to Rust, which allows decoupling permissions from data. they show that this API is safe and allows implementing an efficient doubly linked list in safe Rust. it works by the trick of 'branded types' used in other functional languages.

Introducing Mayuki with her massive ass front and center was certainly a choice. Kotobuki’s father genes didn’t even try.

Arisu proves again that she’s the one person you don’t wanna cross, and she’s gonna protect her homies (as long as she doesn’t have to face flying insects)

OP was worth waiting for. It looks really nice
