Hi! People might know me for my contributions to https://scuttlebutt.nz - I have been working on a #golang implementation of it, intensely for a year now. https://github.com/cryptoscope/ssb - Always happy to answer questions about it or SSB in general! #intro
Hey admin colleagues
1) Do you run CEPH?
2) If so, do you have a SSD backed pool?
3) Do you use this pool for RBD images?
If you've answered all three with yes, do you run fstrim inside these RBD devices? (If yes please leave a comment so we can maybe reach out to you.) If you don't do it for a reason please leave a comment.
MNT Pocket Reform is coming!

You can also sign up for email updates on the project at the end of the page.
Ana Dantas returned for industrial design. The snazzy 3D art was done by Philipp Broemme. Illustrations by Anri Hennies.
@joeycastillo just unveiled a redesign of The Open Book! Also seems like they just got an account here recently so give them a follow if you are into #OSHW
ShaRPiKeebo with a LoRa radio looks like another sweet open hardware handheld computer!
In the second weekend of April, 2022, I embarked on a social media experiment: I blocked my most used social media and news sites while continuing to make use of them in the shape of a dedicated social media computer
As part of the experiment I documented what I did, why I did it, and how it was like. You can read that experience report now:
Floating solar power could help fight climate change — let’s get it right
"Covering 10% of the world’s hydropower reservoirs with floating solar panels would install nearly 4,000 GW of solar capacity — equivalent to the electricity-generation capacity of all fossil-fuel plants in operation worldwide."
"Trade-offs between the expansion of floatovoltaics and environmental, social and economic goals remain largely unexplored in both concept and practice."
What you can do to stop #chatcontrol :
1. Provide negative feedback on the proposal
⌛️ Feedback period: 13 May 2022 - 15 July 2022

2. Phone your MEP
Life goals:
Write an OS in Tool Command Language on top of Tiny Core Linux, and get TCL Electronics and the Texas Collegiate League to sponsor it,
just to really annoy everyone.
Too tired to record a full set, rig up proper audio pickup and still looking for a better camera position but as usual, jamming along with my #eurorack case most evenings - https://peertube.1312.media/w/v1kfULsifGf19NsoXU4EaD
I just noticed "foreach" on npm is controlled by a single maintainer.
I also noticed they let their personal email domain expire, so I bought it before someone else did.
I now control "foreach" on NPM, and the 36826 projects that depend on it.

It is easy to feel like we keep losing but holy fuck, look how far we've come since 2015. Consent culture is mainstream. Ask culture is pretty common now.
The stigma of taking care of our mental well-being is pretty much a thing of the past.
Discussions of intersectionality, power, and systematic oppression are being had on late night shows almost every night.
I love that people are learning that boundaries are a good thing; that they create healthy relationships.
Maybe it is just that I surround myself with wonderful people that prioritize these things, but it really feels like as a culture, we're progressing towards consent, inclusivity, and acceptance.
It is easy to count each lost battle in this culture war and feel we're losing, but the truth of the matter is we're winning. We take two steps forward for every one step back.
Keep loving. Keep Fighting. These fascists are bound to lose!
I was interviewed on @thefinalstrawradio podcast this week about the #fediverse and autonomy and stuff... If you want to listen to me ramble and say um a lot for an hour give it a listen!
