In August 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz together with her father Naphtali and three siblings: Bernhard, Dina and Ernst. None of them survived.

YouTuber Mark Rober tried to show the dangers of Tesla's cameras-only self-driving approach, but it's not that simple. pcmag.com/news/tesla-on-autopi…

What a bogus article. Anyone with half a functioning brain could have predicted the outcome of most tests. That won't change by attacking the messenger.

I think it's too late for that, at least as far as the US government is concerned.

However, this doesn't mean we Europeana shouldn't support #antifascism in the USA, if we are able. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Eigentlich sehen die #COVID -Abwasserwerte vom #RKI toll aus - die Verbreitung scheint aktuell _deutlich_ niedriger zu sein als im Vorjahr.

Aber ich habe die Befürchtung, daß die #USA nun zu einem massiven öffentlichen Labor für neue Virusvarianten werden...

Having a social media preview card that shows some of these pictures would be pretty neat!

It would certainly work better when I share the link to my #Pixelfed portfolio on Facebook and tell people: "Look at this neat alternative to #Instagram !"




🇮🇹 Italy honours COVID-19 victims on remembrance day.

"Italy recorded over 196,000 deaths, becoming the first Western country to be hit by the pandemic, which caused tens of millions of deaths worldwide."

@kmpiw@aus.social

I still think it might have started in Italy.

They didn't even spot it for ages after being warned, if it was there before there definitely wouldn't have seen it.

Ah ja, die 'ach so frommen und religiösen' #Republikaner wieder. Da tut der republikanische Mitglied des Senats von Minnesota alles Mögliche um ein Gesetz rauszubringen, die Trump-Gegner als psychisch-krank einstuft. Und dann plumpst er in eine Falle der #Sittenpolizei. Grund: Treffen für #Sex mit einer 16-jährigen. Einfach widerlich diese Typen 🤮.

The image is a meme featuring a sequence of four panels with an animated character and movie posters. The top panel shows the character with a wide, excited smile, accompanied by the text, "When your DM says they just watched a movie and are going to use it as inspiration for their next D&D game." The second panel shows the character with a slightly less enthusiastic expression, and the third panel shows the character with a more concerned look. The fourth panel shows the character with a worried expression, and the text "made with mematic" is visible in the bottom left corner.

The movie posters displayed in the right column, from top to bottom, are for "Jumanji," "Labyrinth," "Silent Hill," and "Hellraiser." Each poster is associated with the character's changing expressions, suggesting a progression from excitement to concern as the character anticipates the DM's choice of movie for the D&D game.

We grew up with a Mac Plus/512K, so getting the Pico-Mac 68000 emulator github.com/evansm7/pico-mac working on Fruit Jam adafruit.com/product/6200 with 1MB+ of RAM was a high priority for those nostalgic vibes.

For all those looking for messengers that are not controlled by organisations located in countries that are not or no longer democratic:

Check out the completely open source #DeltaChat that also is completely independent of any centralised infrastructure.

The project tries to be very transparent and the software is a marvelous and open-standards-based architecture (blog.feld.me/posts/2025/03/del…).

Last not least, the project is security audited (delta.chat/en/2024-03-25-crypt…)

So What is a Supercomputer Anyway?

in reply to Ars Technica

heh. Had to take a second look at the picture to realise these weren’t iPhones.


Let‘s Encrypt describing their ACME profiles in detail:

‚classic‘: 90 days, all as before
‚tlsserver‘: 90 days, smaller certs, cut lean for its server role and modern clients
‚shortlived‘: ~6 days, otherwise like ‚tlsserver‘

If you have no idea what the mentioned TLS extensions are about, do *not* configure a profile. But if you do, use classic.

If you have a rough idea and serve modern clients, tlsserver cuts some bytes and the auth process is tighter.

letsencrypt.org/docs/profiles/

in reply to Stefan Eissing

Thanks! And as letsencrypt asserts the OSCP was not really useful to begin with?
in reply to mcc

@mcc It did not really solve the problem of cert revocations.

If the server supplied the OCSP stapling in the handshake, the client could be sure. But when not, browsers mostly gave up on retrieving the certicate status themselves.

Because it delayed page loads, was a point of failure and leaked privacy (not that browsers in general are very concerned with that).

What started off as trash in the street, then became disused trash in a friend's garden after they ran out of space for it, has become a shiny new 2D LED Matrix wall in Birkenhack after a good cleanup in the sink. There are five ingredients to this LED Matrix wall:

1. Plastic Bottles
2. Standard British Milk Crates
3. Tinfoil
4. LEDs
5. Esp32 running #WLED software

We loved restaurants in #Japan due to a) their menus with colorful photos of the dishes, b) the super real looking plastic food, c) the plastic food looked exactly like the real dishes. What is your experience? backpackandsnorkel.com/Japan
