We officially live in a dictatorship. This illegal, unconstitutional bullshit will let them use anything you've *ever* said that could be construed as being a negative statement on Christianity, our government, or capitalism is now their tool to watchlist you and use it to punitively exclude you from air/train/bus travel, banking, credit, government benefits, education, etc...

Worth Reading
Though I am typically more concerned with philosophy and sociology I have a fondness for C. G. Jung. I particularly recommend one of my favorite books on self-perception.

Last week this man stated that the current regime could kill any terrorist they liked with no due process. Today, he revealed that the government believes it can designate any American citizen as a terrorist, also without due process.
Follow the steps, and you see the endgame...
A book club. Where we sit in a circle and read out loud, chapter by chapter, the C Programming Language, 2nd Edition. And at the end of each session we stand up and call out names of Open Source and Free Software written in C without which our modern society wouldn't run. Dress code: 1970s.
After the reading session we gather for food and drinks in a room full of whiteboards (no computers!) where we discuss what we heard. With real code printed out from the projects we named.

Homemade Bratwurst
I have become extremely disillusioned in regards to any processed food. Though I love sausage. In order to keep on enjoying my fatty little treats I have to make my own. It is really no big deal and I know the quality of the product used in it. I use no chicken lips 😉.

Server Update
Rocky 10 has been available since July. I am going to update the Rogue Project Friendica Instance VPS next Sunday on August 22nd. I will be doing this around midnight EST. So you can expect the Instance to be down for Maintenance at that time.

These are quotes from a Gene Roddenberry's (the creator of Star Trek) Andromeda series. Without context you just will not get it. Watch the series and you will understand 😉.
Yacht Bots account has been deleted. We will see how long it take for them to get tired of making new email accounts for their spam. I may just block that mail server if this keeps up.
Reminder
Friendly Reminder
A month or so ago I made an announcement that abandoned accounts will be deleted. This is mainly due to my setting a ceiling on the number of users that can register on this Instance. The ceiling is set to try to keep the Instance usable. I can only afford so many resources.
If you need to take a sabbatical or are going to be off line for a while please let me know so that I will not delete your account. If I am not warned that you are not going to be able to use your account then I delete accounts that reach 60 days with no activity. I of course will be flexible with this for typically active users.

TOS & Rules amendment
No Vulgar Display Names
Okay, I thought this would be self evident though apparently not. As I want this Instance to be accessible to all ages and demographics with a diverse outlook on ideologies there are certain expectations that need to be met by all users. Being polite is a given and I will delete an account over someone that cannot control their behavior on this Instance. I did not really think it was necessary to make a rule that states that you cannot use a vulgar or obscene display name. I was wrong. I deleted the account, they can try again with an appropriate display name if they choose to.
I officially updated the TOS & Rules to reflect that using a vulgar display name is not allowed. I will be the judge of what is vulgar and/or obscene.

Server Issues
Certificate Expiration
Due to an issue with an update to SELinux and it's targeting profile certbot ,the tool I use to renew my site certificate, failed. As SELinux was not allowing it to write the updates for the renewal process. I have corrected the issue though it has taken some time to get the certificate renewed.
I am sorry for any inconvenience that the delay in renewal may have caused. I hope everyone enjoys their day.

why would you go through all that? If you are concerned about someone knowing what your user name is for some reason then just rewrite the motd like this:
I am not exactly concerned about people knowing what my user name is. There is no way they can use that in any scenario to effect me. I literally use the same name here.
In any case dropping the
$(whoami | perl -e 'print ucfirst(<>);')(as this is the code that retrieves and displays your username with the first letter capitalized) out of the first figlet line will prevent the script from displaying your username.The original motd I shared with you:

why would you write code just to write more code to eliminate what you just generated? That makes no sense at all. Just eliminate the
whoamiand you do not need to filter its results out withawk. Remember KISS (Keep It Simple Silly).
