Thinking of submitting a talk at @oggcamp called *ask me anything about my (linux) @frameworkcomputer "

Anyone be interested?

Bruce Lawson at #FrontMania asks "whose web is it anyway". It's mine, it's yours, but more importantly it is **not** Big Tech's, not governments', not the wealthy western world's.

The Web - and apps - should be accessible to everyone 👏👏👏

Hey, @EUCommission, last I checked Ireland was in the EU. Israel is firing on peacekeepers from an EU country.

Any thoughts? Or is this cool?

the fucking Salvation Army had the nerve to send us a piece of paper mail asking for donations

so we figure it's time for our annual reminder to please not donate to the Salvation Army because their mission and their services are explicitly hostile to queer people.

@olives yea we were still fixing things a bit... I **think** all the backend stuff and sluggishness is fixed now. just working on some ui minor things and were good.

If you see anymore weirdness please let me know.

@malwaretech @munin If I were rich I guess I'd want those things too, but they don't seem very useful if your roof is sitting upside-down on your next door neighbor's lawn.

Microsoft has fixed a known issue that was causing Word to delete some Windows users' documents instead of saving them.

I made a histogram of wealth distribution in the United States, using the Forbes 400 list that just came out. Almost the entire US population is in the red line at the left, one pixel wide. To fit Elon Musk on the graph, each pixel is $500 million wide. In other words, from the perspective of the very rich, $0 and $500 million look the same.

Minor Update: So yesterday we had to tweak some resources server side, despite fixing the 503 with more resources things were still a bit sluggish. We boosted a few more resources (expanded the cluster itself) and now the system seems quite responsive as well.

Please let @freemo know if you expiernce sluggish behavior or errors.

Only thing left to fix that is broken is some UI issues with links. Some of that will actually expose features that are technically working like editing in place and translation capabilities. So as long as nothing else is broken that is more pressing we should have that fixed up in short order and then we can start working on the next version again and get out of cleanup mode.

@falken

Not to worry, I just doubled our DB instance (memory, cpu and IOPS all doubled) so erverything will be super slow for a bit while it updated (no downtime).. hopefully on the other thing everything will be fast again. If not ill debug further.

@QOTO

So seems the upgrade went ok, a few small issues we should have fixed up pretty quick. Here are the broad points.

* This was our first big move over to an entirely new architecture meant for quick upgrades with no down time. Ironically this meant a 2 day down time but the advantage is future upgrades should have very minimal downtime now.

* We Did 5 upgrades in one go, lots of new features as a result, mostly all the new stuff from mastodon combined with the features QOTO already had.

* The new setup was having some 503 errors at first, and it was a out of memory issue. We have since significantly boosted our resources. The system is now much faster and responsive.

Some issues that remain, and when we will have it fixed:

* There are a few small UI issues, the link to your own profile points to the wrong link, and the "local timeline" link is missing to bring it up. We should have those back in place very shortly (probably a day or two).

* There were 503 issues periodically but it should now be fixed, please let me know if anyone sees a 503 again.

* Editing posts in place (instead of delete & edit) now works but it is missing from the menu, so we need to add that.

* Translation features should also be in place, but lacks the link.

If anyone notices any other issues message @freemo . In the meantime give us a day or two and we should have these small issues all resolved, thanks.

If you're wondering how things are going with the famous #DRM'd Polish trains, well, their manufacturer – #Newag – sued the hackers who had un-blocked them:
https://rys.io/en/175.html

But weirdly, after months of implying and suggesting that the locking code was added to the software by the hackers themselves, in the lawsuit the company now insists they did not in fact modify the software installed on the trains.

Why? Because that would not mesh well with the copyright infringement claim. 🤡
