@bagder sometimes falling back to wget as it provides a simple returncode (aka errorlevel) to check if a site is down
@adama Great knots resource! I love their approach to safety:
Deaths
Climbing, caving, etc., are challenging and dangerous. The American Alpine Club's Statistical Tables for North America report over 30 deaths a year for the last 55 years. This website is about knots. It is no substitute for thorough instruction and expert supervision.
As having Element App performance issues, I am looking for a alternative to Element App for Matrix chat on my Android phone. Only in f-droid of course.
Found Schildichat and Syphon.
Any suggestions before I jump into the void?
Introducing Bark! Low-latency multi-receiver live-sync lossless audio streaming for local networks. It's like Sonos, but open source, so nobody can brick your devices remotely. It's also written in Rust :)
It sends 48khz uncompressed float32 data over UDP multicast. It can achieve playback sync to within hundreds of microseconds in ideal conditions, and usually to within a millisecond.
I've been working on it in my spare time over the past week, and I'm pretty happy with how it's shaped up. I have three receivers setup and it works remarkably well at keeping everything in sync as I walk around my house. For now it only really works on Linux, and supports Pipewire (and Pulse in theory), but there's no huge impediment to making it truly cross-platform.
It also features a fancy live stats subcommand, which can used on any computer in the same multicast domain to watch the status of the stream cluster:
Starting with version 116, #Firefox will drop support for macOS versions prior to 10.15 as well as Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. This has understandably annoyed a few users so let me explain why we're taking this step: the maintenance burden of supporting several versions of each platform is very significant. I'll show you how much by citing three platform-specific bugs I've worked on over the past two years. 🧵 1/13
@gabrielesvelto Being a Firefox user since eons ago I pay respect to the dedication of the team that builds it. Thank you for sharing!

I just learned that there's already a talk about Overpass, so I'll do mine at a different conference instead.
If you're interested in Overpass, go visit the talk on day 2, 11:00 at Jugend-Village @jugendhackt!

@jon I like your oracle thing 😅
On the last day at #DEFCON31 we have setup our first @VeilidNetwork headless/server node, a new chapter for us running privacy infrastructure for public use
#Veilid documentation is sparse currently so here is what we've used to setup/validate/troubleshoot a node on Ubuntu Server 22.04
this #Veilid node (veilid.emeraldonion.org) is running on dedicated hardware hosted in our Westin Datacenter in downtown Seattle with Seattle Internet Exchange peering
I need more of a debug log instead of monitoring entries - can I do this with icinga or graylog ?
