I’d like to take a minute to thank all the volunteers maintainers of FOSS projects and infrastructure. You keep our digital world afloat and you’re not getting the recognition or renumeration you deserve.

I’ve put together a few snacks, please take one of your choosing as a token of my thanks.

@rysiek Just remember: Production is the BEST PLACE TO FIND BUGS! 😉

@sknob

@fesshole Somehow had no idea this was a thing they do! Does it happen often? How long do you leave the room for? Do you apologise if you walk back in and he's still at it?

@lykso @mcc

@stephaniewalter Same!

As for the install part: it was just a folder with some files (the exe and the data files) that you could drag around from computer to computer, no installer or keys required. If one person had a copy, everyone had one 😅

La vidéo de mon test /e/OS est sortie.
Voici ce que je retiens en sytnhèse :

1/ Murena Workspace

J'adore le fait qu'il y ait un écosystème Murena, avec tout ce dont on a besoin au quotidien.
Car quand on quitte Google ou Apple, on s'attend à retrouver le même périmètre ailleurs.
En tout cas pour le "grand public", je trouve ça super pratique.

2/ App lounge

C'est le magasin d'application disponible en natif.
On peut télécharger des apps commerciales et des apps open source au même endroit.
Si on veut filtrer les apps commerciales, on peut.
Si on veut connecter son compte Google, on peut (mais on peut aussi être anonyme).

Je trouve que le compromis est super intéressant.

3/ Advanced privacy

Je ne m'attendais pas à trouver un tel niveau de profondeur (et de praticité).
- Bloquage de la télémetrie
- Position GPS fictive
- IP masquée (avec tor)

Le tout filtrable par application.

Pas de menu compliqué, tout est clair et accessible.
(même quand on n'y connait rien).

4/ Compatibilité des smartphones

La liste de compatibilité des mobiles est très très longue.
Ce qui est super pratique quand on a déjà un smartphone et qu'on veut quitter Android.

5/ MicroG

Les apps commerciales qui s'appuient sur des services Google pour fonctionner, fonctionnent avec MicroG (emulation des services google sans télémetrie).

6/ /e/OS VS GrapheneOS

Je ne pense pas qu'il faille les opposer.
GrapheneOS sera plus poussé sur la sécurité, là ou /e/OS fait un compromis intelligent sur la praticité et la confidentialité.

7/ Conclusion

Si on a envie de sortir des Gafam, sans se prendre la tête à bidouiller, /e/OS est parfait.

8/ Ma vidéo review de /e/OS

Merci à @murena de m'avoir prêté le Murena GS6 pour pouvoir faire ce test.
Aucun lien commercial avec eux, je vais rendre le téléphone et ils n'ont pas eu droit de regard sur aucun des supports.

Unless you live under a stone, everybody will have heard about PHP today.

Now, please realize that the vast majority of Open Source Software, like PHP, and including PHP, is largely maintained by **unpaid volunteers**.

If you agree that this is inconceivably irresponsible: let this be your call to action and FUND THE OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS YOUR ORGANIZATION RELIES ON.

Saying "Thanks" once in a while is not enough and does not make open source sustainable.

Während sie früher meist nach Sonnenaufgang in den Hof verschwand, blieb Lumi im Januar und Februar in Kobelnähe. Meine Anwesenheit auf dem Balkon störte sie gar nicht mehr. 🐿️😍

cross-posted from: r1b.it/post/12935

As I have browsed the Fediverse through r1b.it, I’ve noticed lots of missing content from remote communities. Some of that has to do with actual federation problems (which I have been in talks with other instance owners to fix), but most of it is a result of completely intentional behavior. Regardless of that, though, I feel as if missing content detracts from the r1b.it user experience. So, I decided to flex my programming muscles a bit and devised a solution.

For the more technically inclined bunch, you can keep reading to see how it works. For everyone else, you can just be happy to hear that you should now be getting all new content from your subscribed communities! If you have any further federation issues, please let me know. You can always @ me in !croak :)

**The nerd stuff**

Lemmy relies on an event-driven feed, meaning it doesn’t always automatically pull posts from remote servers unless someone is actively browsing or querying them. So, if a r1b.it user doesn’t actively interact with a community, the content won’t get pulled. If no new content is getting pulled, no one will interact with the community. To break this cycle, I’ve set up a lightweight Python script to automatically sync every subscribed community in the background. This script is set up as a cron job that runs every 6 hours. This script first queries r1b.it’s local PostgreSQL database to gather a unique list of every remote community local users are subscribed to. For each community it finds, the script targets Lemmy’s resolve_object API endpoint using the community’s full actor URL to refresh its metadata and maintain connection health. To keep this script from turning into a DDOS as r1b.it grows, it shuffles the community list to spread instances out and has a polite randomized pause between each request. Additionally, I plan to remove this script entirely if r1b.it ever gets big enough to federate itself naturally. py #!/usr/bin/env python3 import subprocess import urllib.parse import urllib.request import time import random LOCAL_DOMAIN = “https://r1b.it/” DB_CONTAINER = “REDACTED” DB_USER = “REDACTED” DB_NAME = “REDACTED” SQL_QUERY = “”" SELECT DISTINCT c.actor_id FROM community_follower cf JOIN person p ON cf.person_id = p.id JOIN community c ON cf.community_id = c.id WHERE p.local = true AND c.local = false; “”" def get_subscriptions(): cmd = [ “docker”, “exec”, “-i”, DB_CONTAINER, “psql”, “-U”, DB_USER, “-d”, DB_NAME, “-t”, “-A”, “-c”, SQL_QUERY ] try: res = subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, text=True, check=True) return [line.strip() for line in res.stdout.splitlines() if line.strip()] except Exception: return [] def resolve_community(actor_id): encoded = urllib.parse.quote(actor_id, safe=“”) api_url = f"{LOCAL_DOMAIN}/api/v3/resolve_object?q={encoded}" req = urllib.request.Request( api_url, headers={“Accept”: “application/json”, “User-Agent”: “LemmyAutoSync/1.0”} ) try: with urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=10) as resp: return resp.status except urllib.error.HTTPError as e: return e.code except Exception: return 500 def main(): communities = get_subscriptions() if not communities: return print(f"Found {len(communities)} unique remote subscriptions") random.shuffle(communities) for actor_id in communities: status = resolve_community(actor_id) if status == 200: print(f"{actor_id} FEDERATED") elif status == 400: print(f"{actor_id} ALREADY FEDERATED") else: print(f"{actor_id} FAILED ({status)") # Polite randomized pause time.sleep(random.uniform(1, 5)) print(“Sync complete.”) if __name__ == “__main__”: main()

@uint8_t yeah no reason at all 🤣

dog, the PHP fix is a sprawling 13k LOC mess of error handling, goto, and C macros.

Ada will just throw Storage_Error on OOM and crash, unless you handle the exception:

https://ada-lang.io/docs/arm/AA-11/AA-11.1/#p6_5

remember, crashing is better than the alternative. C just carries on and reads stale memory and does other weird undefined behavior to enable RCE on 70% of the Web.

thank you @dansup + @pixelfed -Team for navigating through #php2shell!

Hi @Steve_Bate
I think #AP and 'simple' are conflicting goals. First would be to focus on ends to target. AP is a mixed bag of everything. There is no 'simple' this way.

I first met PHP circa 1995, back when it was a ghastly Perl knock-off—Perl 4, at that, no OOP or test harnesses or attempts to tidy the language up. The only thing it brought to the table was slightly tighter web integration, and it wasn't worth the added suck elsewhere.

Everything I have learned about PHP since 1995 has only confirmed my decision to have *nothing* to do with it: it seems to be a loosely coupled lexicon of security exploits flying in loose formation, not a language.
