Good morning

Anyone moving communities from Discord to Matrix? Any tips on how much a 3k user-community would require from a hardware and bandwidth perspective? I hear Synapse can be quite hungry in terms of storage.

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@Brendanjones/116088139515093778 Paging @colinwright. Are you aware of this?

If you’re in #copenhagen and are looking for a fancy-ish place for dinner, I highly recommend l’Education Nationale on Larsbjørnsstræde. It’s a traditional French bistro, with simple yet remarkably amazing food, a good wine selection, and very nice vibe. They’re decently priced compared to the […]

CUT MY SPLICE INTO PIECES THIS IS MY LAST SLOW SORT

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@miketheman/116008792409955286 When I say TOTP is phishable and webauthn (“passkeys”) isn’t, this is a real-world example of what I am talking about

> One user summed it up bluntly: if you’re fine with an immortal god turning into a bird, sleeping with a human, and producing an egg that hatches into the most beautiful woman in the world, Lupita Nyong’o’s skin tone probably isn’t where realism breaks down. Finally we’re getting journalists […]

Bazzite has no business being this good.

In the past few years, I have worked on multiple coming-of-age films set in the late 90s. I thought it was a wave of nostalgia, but today a director told me: it is not nostalgia; that is the last time in history when you can set a human plot about teenagers without half of it dealing with […]

"this new product from microsoft surprisingly doesn't suck!" did they start making vacuum cleaners

The Production Director at Gravity Well Games (an independent AAA studio) mentioned on LinkedIn that they had to close an Associate Producer role because they had 650 applicants. Anyone landing that role would be in the 0.15% The Harvard class of 2029 had 47,893 applicants out of which 2,003 […]

Meta, Microsoft and Google are all coordinating with the European far right in order to dismantle EU digital laws designed to protect citizens, according to a new report. The recent 🇺🇸NSS strategy outlined regime change plans to support the European far right. A public-private partnership.

The EU is working on what is in essence a new Open Source strategy for Europe, and the call for evidence is now open. This is our cue to provide feedback and input to the strategy! If you are involved in the Open Source community in any way, if you benefit (or could benefit) in any way from […]

Holy moly, I absolutely love the #strangerthings finale. Beautiful ending, almost everything made sense, a bit of fan service, but otherwise also just a cast and crew saying goodbye to characters and stories they love. The Duffer brothers have broken the Netflix curse. I’ll watch/read anything […]

Timezones are so silly. New Zealand and Australia are in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

Adin Ross is 25 years old, has 7 million subscribers on Twitch, 4.5 million subscribers on YouTube, and livestreams daily to hundreds of thousands of people. **This is him finding out what fascism is.** Chat, are we cooked?

It's starting to be rather obvious: there's something in the news that's potentially harmful to Trump (Epstein files) so he quickly reignites some previous outrage as a distraction (Greenland). 😑 #trump #epsteinfiles #Greenland

I had a very Rowling-unapproved dream that Harry Potter broke a curse through technicality by changing pronouns from “he” to “they”

"Hello, We're Firefox, The Only Browser That Hasn't Hit Itself In The Dick With A Hammer. For years now, folks use us because of our un-hammered dick. Now, you may be wondering why today we've brought this hammer and pulled out our dick. Well I'm glad you asked--"

Mozilla has a new CEO which: - Has been at Mozilla for less than a year - Has no prior open source experience (but well in "fintech" and "real estate") - Has a MBA (aka "brainworm diploma") - Is all-in on AI That’s exactly the kind of profile the whole community has been waiting for.

I was looking for grammar/spell-check language servers to use in Neovim and came across Harper (https://writewithharper.com/) Turns out it also has extensions for Firefox/Chrome. I don't use Grammarly, but for people who do, could be a nicer, more private alternative — it's local-only and […]

Listening to "Rare earth" podcast from the BBC. It mentions the stats that in London 14km² is used by stationary parked cars. For comparison, the high-speed line from Paris to Lyon uses just 16km² of land. Gives you an idea how much land we give over to cars.

The first part of Stranger Things vol 5 was actually really enjoyable. I was halfway dreading what Netflix would’ve done to it—mostly based on their inability to maintain the quality of a show past the second or third season. It’s clear the Duffer brothers know what they’re doing. They love […]

Who wants to bet we're getting pathfinding tomorrow? It's long overdue at this point ^^. #adventofcode

Quick reminder for newcomers to #rust #rustlang in this year’s #adventofcode: The stdlib HashSet and HashMap are amazing, but they can leave a lot of performance on the table. rustc-hash’s FxHashSet and FxHasMap can give an incredible uplift (but they can in some AoC cases also be extremely […]

I wonder if @MonaApp is planning to split the app/change monetization. On my phone the app suddenly is called “Mona 6” instead of just “Mona”, and in the App Store it’s now called “Mona Classic”. I hope the developer considers “Lisa” as the name for a sister app to Mona, if they ever need one.

I’ve been on Mastodon for a few years now; mostly as a replacement for Twitter/Reddit. But my feed is feeling more and more stale. I’m not interested by most of the stuff I read on here. To be brutally honest, I do feel a general lack of engagement online—not just here. Maybe it’s time to hang […]

@randahl Did you get hacked or something? I had a notification about reaching you via Telegram. I see the message is gone now, but maybe you ought to leave a pinned post explaining what happened?

This one hurts. I’ve been a die-hard Firefox since just after 1.0. And I feel I’m going through the exact same alienation as the author of this post is. https://masto.ai/@hackaday/115583389759647713

Seeing open source and privacy companies having Discord as there support channel feels like a vegan community meeting at a steak house for events.

PoE at home is such a game changer. I have security cameras and 2.5GbE switches running 50m away from where the power plug is. The entire network is running off a single power plug. I’ve got PoE PSUs to move more devices over, so they don’t need their own power supplies.

I am absolutely ravaged by hearing of Daniel Naroditsky’s passing. This was a trend setter, an incredibly smart and talented young man whose legacy is only a blip compared to the good he brought to our world. He was the kind of person we should aspire to be, both on the board, and in life. What […]

RIP Sam Rivers. I’ve spent hours drumming to your bass lines.

Whenever I see "GenAI basically can do the work of a junior dev", I assume that those people are using junior devs very differently from me. To me, the value of a junior developer is maybe like 20% the code they write, and 80% is a down payment to a future where they no longer are a junior. I […]

Meshtastic iOS app breaks EU law with sending lots of telemetry (logs, usage) to DataDog in US wthout user consent and without any kind of notification of the app doing so. I reported this as issue and it got immediately closed without any explanation […]

Well, this is a bit of a milestone. I’m putting the consultancy on hold, and have now officially joined the LEGO Group as a Lead Engineer. I’m very excited to have a proper team and manager. This is going to be lit!

finally some normal fucking people on reddit

The #nixos moderation team resigns "effective immediately, in protest of the Steering Committee’s ongoing pattern of attempting to interfere with moderation team operation, membership and specific moderation decisions." […]

Ah AI, automating incompetence en mass. Well done. “Employees are using AI tools to create low-effort, passable looking work that ends up creating more work for their coworkers” […]
