@iron_bug @aitech @informapirata C'è una sola soluzione: bandire il copyright o ridurne drasticamente la durata. Switzerland now requires all government software to be open source Can you opt out of airport face scans? Yes! Here’s how. – Vox https://blog.quintarelli.it/2024/07/can-you-opt-out-of-airport-face-scans-yes-heres-how-vox/ I've just updated the list of (exclusively) #libre services the OER Foundation (for whom I work) makes available to educators, learners, governments, and the general public: https://tech.oeru.org/updating-oer-foundation-web-services-july-2024 It's a substantial number of very powerful services, and they're *very* cost effective to run. I've just updated the 'Software Development Forge' section of the post to reflect our disillusionment with the 'Community Edition' of Gitlab, and the inevitable diminishing priority its devs are putting on adding/improving functionality for community users. Seems their owners are prepping for acquisition, which throws the whole proposition into doubt. Luckily, there's a more ethically aligned option: Forgejo - https://forgejo.org - as a precaution, I've been running one for the past year. Visited https://www.vogonsdrivers.com/ lately? All the retro PC drivers, no BS. - Drivers for sound cards, video cards, storage, networking, game controllers, and more! - Also in SSL-free, HTML 2.0 flavour for your ancient browsers: http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/lofi/ - Preservation-minded?

@miah@hachyderm.io but irc doesn't have paid emoji reactions either :akkoconfused: I would also add:
IRC does not trash its protocol with new shiny useless features every week. and you don't need to install new versions at light speed. it's consistent and it just works. ⚠ Restart required for sshd after upgrading to 9.8_p1 on Alpine Linux Edge. Failing to restart will prevent sshd from accepting new connections. https://alpinelinux.org/posts/2024-07-02-openssh-upgrade-edge.html @alpinelinux I didn't even manage to restart, after binary update ssh connection just stalled, terminating it of course led to inability to connect. so only powercycle. OpenSSH sshd on musl-based systems is not vulnerable to RCE via CVE-2024-6387 (regreSSHion). This is because we do not use localtime in log timestamps and do not use dynamic allocation (because it could fail under memory pressure) for printf formatting. While the sshd bug is UB (AS-unsafe syslog call from signal context), very deliberate decisions we made for other good reasons reduced the potential impact to deadlock taking a lock.

Muting this thread because people keep mentioning Ice-Nine. It's IN the bloody article! You couldn't be arsed to read more than the summary before getting desperate to tell me that you know a nerdy thing. “Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.”

Whenever I’m feeling down or scared by the world, I look to Vonnegut for words that are if not comforting at least insightful…and I come away most of the time with a grin and my field of view expanded. The irony is not lost on me that the Internet Archive went out of its way to acquire the physical versions of millions of books and loan them out carefully and in a limited way, and is facing a near-extinction-level event over it, while for-profit and VC-backed companies are just stealing people’s content and making up excuses to validate the bad behavior.

@ernie@writing.exchange Not problem, use Anna archive instead, stop use internet archive for reading books because site admin and team will remove stuff if received message from stingy companies who want to destroy old stuff for profit. @ernie back in the early 2000's MP3.com paid for physical CD's, made digital copies available to stream, but only if you could prove via a sophisticated hashing algorithm that you had your own physical copy at your end. The security of the "lending" didn't matter, it was the copying and subsequent distribution. One has to lobby Congress to change Copyright law. Is Lawrence Lessig writing anything about IA's position? @ernie but they are making profits silly! Delivering value for shareholders! Totally different to providing a useful service for not money. напомнило детство. мы тогда паяли самодельные компьютеры на базе микросхем KT.
сейчас, конечно, микросхем гораздо больше и есть, где развернуться. Аналитический центр CASE сделал исследование релокантов из РФ и предложил ЕС упростить прием эмигрантов из России и стимулировать отток из России и квалифицированных специалистов и денег непричастного к войне российского бизнеса |
