Fedora Targets 99% Package Reproducibility by October - Slashdot
Fedora has proposed a major change for its upcoming version 43 release that aims to achieve 99% package reproducibility, addressing growing concerns about supply-chain security.linux.slashdot.org
To Americans, pharmaceutical healthcare is nothing but dollars. Eliminating human need is an attack on US billionaires and their exploitive profits.
The "insulin industry" is particularly disgusting when you realize that when Frederick Banting discovered insulin in 1923, he refused to put his name on the patent because he felt it was unethical for a doctor to profit from a discovery that would save lives, so Banting’s co-inventors, James Collip and Charles Best, sold the insulin patent to the University of Toronto for a mere $1 since they wanted everyone who needed their medication to be able to afford it.
Americans profiteers then went on to patent every method of manufacturing this "free invention" for their own profit.

Server Update
PHP-FPM ISSUES
I went in and reconfigured my php-fpm pm.start_servers values as it appears default pool was too small and would get busy quite quickly. I am hoping this cures the issue. I found no other PHP errors to deal with so I hope this is the culprit. So I am hoping that getting this fine tuned and all will be well on the Instance, or so I hope. 😀
note: The default is really low which is 50. If I can exceed that limit with only 3 active users I am sure it will have to be much higher. I will have to do more research to see what a good value should be.

...and now I must make a point to add that tonight's activities with HashtagGames was a delight on your site. I guess if you've read my entries, you also are more familiar with my technical background. I've been online ever since there was an online to be on, but as far as coding goes, I simply haven't kept up with the times because it's all like one huge tech firehose at this point.
Server Down
I woke up today to find my Instance was down. I am not sure why at this point. It is a work day today and I will be busy this weekend so not sure when I will be able to investigate further as to why this is happening. I have my suspensions though there will be no easy fixes for this I am afraid.
note: The VPS was still up and running so it was not the issue. Restarting httpd & MariaDB only brought it from a 500 to a 503. So I will have to rummage through the logs to see what is going on.
note: Some preliminary research shows this is going to be a PHP related issue. Which is good and bad. As it means it is code base, as I have a pristine code base (no alterations) this is an upstream issue. It may be in an Addon? That would be nice disable the Addon problem fixed. Though I am not often that lucky. I will look through the PHP logs and see which process jammed the system 😉.
Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

I certainly appreciate your efforts! Since I'm not a coder as such, I can't say that I am aware of all standard Friendica features to know everything that works or doesn't work, I'd be happy to keep in touch with what I find here, and compare to other Friendica sites have/had going (one is defunct, actually: Outsourced Math). For all its issues, your site so far is the best one I've been on.

I hope all members of this instance are finding the Rogue Project Friendica Instance friendly and comfortable. There are very few rules here other than you cannot use the site to violate the law, DO NOT be rude and/or disrespectful to others on this Instance or other federated Instances and you may not register a Bot Account without first letting the administrator know prior to doing so.
note: TOS and Rules are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to keep up with the TOS and Rules. I will post when I make changes as they occur.

Do you want to start uploading to the Fediverse video platform PeerTube?
I've made a guide that tries to answer the most common questions about publishing videos on PeerTube:
➡️ fedi.tips/how-to-publish-video…
The guide covers why you would want to publish on PeerTube, finding a server or setting up your own, how to promote your account, when to upload, accounts vs channels, how often to upload, sponsors etc.
If I've missed something out, let me know!
How to publish videos (and audio) on PeerTube | Fedi.Tips – An Unofficial Guide to Mastodon and the Fediverse
An unofficial guide to using Mastodon and the Fediversefedi.tips
So maybe I am using the service wrong, but how do I view videos from multiple instances in one feed? When I try to make an account, it appears that I only get videos from the instance I am on. I would like to see from every server that talks to the one I am on. What am I doing wrong?
Also, I wish there was better implementation into mastodon. It feels jarring to have to do things that feel like work arounds to see videos on mastodon too.
If you follow a PeerTube account from Mastodon, the videos appear in your feed and you can interact with them just like you would with any other post. For example click on @helenmclaughlin
Was there a particular thing you wanted to do that felt workaroundish?
About PeerTube instances, the videos they show on their own site depend on what the admin wants to do. Some of them just show local videos, some show entire other instances, some show just particular accounts.
I wanted a comment section within mastodon for the peer tube video. Specifically to send a comment to the video.
I also want it to show related videos after it ends.
keep in mind I gave up on trying to figure out intergration as I was gettnig lost and consufesd.
could you please point me to a peertube instance that is widely connected? I have tried the sign up page but alot of instances don't take new accounts.And many have content prefrences too.
You can comment on a video by just replying to it within Mastodon. Replies get converted into comments automatically. Also ⭐ becomes 👍
You can see related videos if you click on the video link to open it on its own PeerTube site.
"could you please point me to a peertube instance that is widely connected?"
You might want to try sepiasearch.org if you want to search a very wide range of instances. This is the official search engine run by PeerTube themselves.

🚨 Let’s Encrypt at risk from Trump cuts to OTF: “Let’s Encrypt received around $800,000 in funding from the OTF”
Dear @EUCommission, get your heads out of your arses and let’s find @letsencrypt €1M/year (a rounding error in EU finances) and have them move to the EU.
If Let’s Encrypt is fucked, the web is fucked, and the Small Web is fucked too. So how about we don’t let that happen, yeah?
(In the meanwhile, if the Let’s Encrypt folks want to make a point about how essential they are, it might be an idea to refuse certificates to republican politicians. See how they like their donation systems breaking in real time…)

I really would like to share your optimism too.
If I can help in some ways, let me know. I was tracking the RFA budget withdraw and wondering how long OTF can survive without the funding.
@a We don't need to move Let's Encrypt to the EU. We need to run a EU-based equivalent, and make it so that the infrastructure they run is easily replicated.
As this development clearly demonstrates, Let's Encrypt is a single point of failure. It was never a good idea. It was just a less bad idea than others.
And no, that's absolutely not suggesting they didn't do great work. This is about designing for resilience.
There is a really good privacy feature on Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse:
When you post a link on Mastodon etc, it remains exactly as you posted it. There is no analytics or tracking going on, no one is monitoring clicks on links.
By contrast, on Twitter/X and Bluesky the links people post are redirected so clicks can be monitored. We don't know exactly what Musk or Bluesky do with this info, but they do it by redirecting all links to sites they control (t.co & go.bsky.app).

I didn’t mean that direct links don’t show your profile to websites, of course that would happen if following a link from someone’s profile (at least on the web).
Looking at Google analytics for Facebook referrals in the past, I only saw a redirect URL as the referrer, not the URL of anyone’s profile (same with Twitter). Facebook offered a more private experience by default, so it seemed to make sense to me that way. But it’s quite obvious now that they have nefarious uses for that data with tendrils that spread across the web to collect an entire profile about you.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
This is one of those things where if the left had the capacity to practice messaging discipline and media coordination they could repeat everyday for the next two months with brutal consequences for the right-wing administration.
But this will be forgotten about by tomorrow
Seems I've ran out of 'HCT00s... Will have to search for one to validate the board with it.
I just released the files for my #Commodore #C128 #SRAM adapter, as it seems to work well with everything I threw at it.
Have fun with it, you can order it from PCBWay or from anywhere you like:
github.com/hkzlab/C128_310381r…
I guess this can be adapter to newer boards with 4x 4464 DRAMs. As I have a motherboard for a C128DCR around, I suspect I'll get around to that too.

Is there an account you follow that boosts other people too much? Do you like reading their own posts, but you don't want to see their boosts?
In Mastodon you can hide an account's boosts by doing the following:
1. Go to their profile page
2. Click the ⋯ button on their profile
3. Select "Hide boosts"
You will still see their posts, it will only hide boosts. If you change your mind, go to ⋯ and select "Show boosts".
They will never know you have hidden their boosts 🙂

I prefer a formal language to describe “contracts” in the type system and static analysis.
BUT, I think it would also be funny to use embeddings to find out what a function does just reading its declaration.
For instance
void x_destroy(struct X * p)
What this functions does?
I will try do to that for fun.

One of the main issues is that Power Companies do not want to lose money. So they will not let you know that the best way to go green is not by massive fields of Solar Panels or Wind Mills but by individuals providing their own power.
According to what Power Companies advertise they lose 5% - 10% in transport, in ideal conditions with high maintenance, getting the electricity to you. This is called line bleed. Then most of your home uses DC not AC. Yes, they plug into a AC outlet but they have a Bridge Rectifier in them that converts the electricity back into DC for the appliance's use. This is also a costly transition that can range from %5 - %30.
If you produced the electricity local, on site, then there would be no need to convert to AC for transport and back to DC for usage. You would not have line bleed loss. Appliances for the house could be made with less unneeded circuitry. Today you could use RV/Boat DC appliances until household app

Appliances for the house could be made with less unneeded circuitry. Today you could use RV/Boat DC appliances until household appliances could be re-implemented. As most of those use DC. How do you fund it? Instead of giving Power Companies Grants for Using Green Resources give the money to Home Owners and Land Lords that will have to prove the upgrades were made with the money.
The few appliances that require AC, those with heating elements or large compressors could be replaced by Geo Thermal or you could have an inverter for just those appliances.
This is from a 100 mile view and I am not writing a book so I have left out a lot, but I think I have included enough to get my point across.
note: With wireless tools being a huge trend small and compact DC motors that rival AC motors. They are now available and could be used in places that would be typically considered only for AC motors.
note: Cities can have Solar Glass (covering) that modern sky scrapers use. They produce enough celerity to cover huge portions of the grid and are now mandatory in some European Countries for new builds.
