Jesus said of Pharisees:

‘These people honor Me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from Me.
They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’”

The disciples said, “Are You aware that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”

Jesus replied, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots. Disregard them! They are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”

They get so offended when you point out the murder.

My Dad would've freaked if we got snow inside the house in that amount.

So if a pound is 0.45359237 KG, then a Pound Sterling (£) would be $1120 in today's money.

I'm pretty sure that ever since 2008 the mainstream corporate economy has just been fake, and all of these companies are just getting cash handouts from the treasury.

That's the only explanation of why they suddenly started to only care about signaling political alignment and just completely stopped caring about customers, service, and ... being a company.

TIL that the president of Signal believes that people who run Mastodon and/or Matrix servers do so "in most cases" on hyperscaler* infrastructure.

This is my Mastodon server. And its UPS. And its networked KVM for when things get really hairy.

It's also my Matrix server. And Nextcloud. And Git. And Home-Assistant. And Jellyfin. And SearXNG. And Peertube.

When people objected to her claims, she doubled down and proclaimed condescendingly that we "don't have a clear understanding of this space".

TIL that I don't feel confident in recommending people to use Signal. Something's very off here.

*) "hyperscaler" basically means the big cloud infra providers with provisioning APIs that allow you to scale your resources up/down automatically with usage

I improved the #FluffyChat website a little bit and made it localizeable over weblate. It now even contains an imprint, the changelog, the privacy policy and a long FAQ. 🚀

Also it has a fancy new domain:

https://fluffy.chat

If you have some feedback, I'd appretiate it. You can help translating it or even improving the FAQ on weblate. ❤️❤️❤️

🎉 Congrats to @shiftphones for winning the IFA Innovation Award in the Best in Sustainability Tech category for the SHIFTphone 8.

We’re proud to collaborate with SHIFT, a company that lives its mission every day. Together, we’ve developed the Murena SHIFTphone 8, designed to make the tech world a little better.

🇩🇪🇬🇧 Find out more about the moments at IFA that stood out most to them by reading the full article!

☁️The recent AWS outage showed how fragile “cloud-based security” can be.

When one datacenter faltered, global communication tools — including Signal — went dark 🌑

🕸️Matrix-based messaging systems kept running because they don’t rely on a single provider.

Resilience = decentralization

Let's invest in open, federated platforms.

We have editions and spins that are great general purpose starting points. You install Fedora, then grab whatever else you need and start using your computer.

But what if you just want to start working immediately? We have Fedora Labs for that! These are offerings with specific use cases in mind, like astronomy or design.

Our question: have you tried these before, and if so what has been your experience?

A week from now we’ll be in Strasbourg at The Matrix Conference!

🇩🇪 Don’t miss Dominik Braun from FITKO share the architecture decisions, the choice of Matrix as the end-to-end encrypted backbone and key insights from navigating the political and administrative challenges of this large-scale transformation in the German federal administation

There are still a few tickets left if you want to listen to it live – we’d love to see you there!

Oh how I miss working in datacenters regularly. Luckily I still get the chance every now and then.

Prepped a new cabinet for @almalinux last Friday thanks to a generous sponsorship by KnownHost featuring network hardware from Arista Networks.

Can't wait to fill this thing up with hardware over the next few weeks including the awesome stack of Power9 PPC hardware that was donated recently.
