I’m finally getting around to writing some #Gleam for a webapp use-case I have for one of my projects. I’ll post again when I have something more substantial but work will be ongoing at git.sr.ht/~nebunez/ks-leafcutt…

@nextcloud: Nice announcement of your conference on your blog! But it’s missing the date of the event. 🤪 #nextcloud


🚄 We partned with SBB, DB & ÖBB to organize the #Hack4Rail hackathon in Bern. 170 railway and tech enthusiasts, also from SNCF, Infrabel & Flatland, worked in 21 teams to solve real challenges with #OpenSource solutions.

We established open collaboration from day one, ensuring innovative projects are sustained, and supported the whole event with FOSS infrastructure, e.g. @nextcloud and @matrix.

Check out the video for event highlights. We look forward to further collaboration!

@nextcloud I’m suspecting that scan.nextcloud.com has a DNS problem for a good week now. No matter which of my Nextcloud instances I put in there to security-scan, the only response I get is “Host not found”.
Tried with multiple different browsers, without Adblock/Tracking Blocker, Extensions. Same result.

Maybe your OPS team can find a moment to look into that?

Thanks in advance.

in reply to MacLemon

Hi! Thanks for sharing. Could you please add an issue on GitHub? That's the best way to bring it to our team's attention: github.com/nextcloud/server
in reply to Nextcloud 📱☁️💻

Issue created: github.com/nextcloud/server/is…

Feels a little like “please scream into a bag and drop it into the void” The issue neither applies to Nextcloud Server itself, nor do I feel it’ll get noticed next to 2000+ other issues.

Thanks for your confirmation that there’s no service monitoring in place for secondary services like the security scan.

Looking forward to the security scan service being restored. It helps many people keeping their Nextcloud instance secure.

in reply to Palm Oil Detectives

From what I’ve read, palm oil is a fairly efficient resource in terms of land use. So shouldn’t it be better than the alternatives? I obviously don’t want to support child slavery or deforestation. Are we helping the cause when buying other oils that require more land?

I've had this game on my wishlist for the last 2 years and I'm glad it's finally out. I got to play one of the early betas and it was pretty cool. Can't wait to try the release at some point.

Unfortunately this is one of many reason where my brain tell to "make everything from zero". Pre-made assets can help a lot, I still feel uncomfortable using without been paranoid waiting to someone sue my ass just because someone decide to be asshole for profit.

More seriously thanks for the article, it's really interesting.

Image caption: a desktop computer sits on a desk with a box on top of it which has two switches labeled Win 10 and Linux. There is a text overlay that has the quote "grub is too complicated". These switches presumably connect hard drives, which would be an effective way at determining which drive to use to boot the machine.

A reminder the RFF directory of artists lives on and continues to grow at indieart.support/

It is the biggest consented list of fedi present artists around. Discover music, writing, spoken, and visual artists and THEIR preferred support links.

While original scope was heavily music and fedi, that is expanding more and more.

Message @hello or e-mail to be added. It's not automated as #community care is taken to not platform those who punch down.

Liam, you do good work mate! I enjoy following you on Mastodon. I quit Reddit two years ago and my life is measurably better. That place is a dumpster fire.


Valve replied with a statement on the recent new game dev rule from payment processors and some adult games being removed

#Steam #Valve #Gaming #PCGaming

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

Companies have no ethics nor morals, especially not banks and their ilk, so they have no business putting their nose into that. Today it’s incest, when will it be magic, representation, and LGBTQ+?

Valve has no way to fight this. Banks/payment processors could simply decide to not work with valve and they have no way of doing business.



I find it oddly comforting that tech corporations are now straight up advertising their vision of dystopian individualism where all your friends have been replaced by their chatbot.

The littlest sir, though doing a lot better lately, still has anxiety and is alarmed by loud noises he doesn't recognise. It's kind of adorable how he looks to me to make sure I'm not worried about a noise, and I'll explain to him ("Just someone beating their rugs outside") and despite not understanding a word, he'll believe my tone!
Here he is, looking so very little.

To clarify from my understanding of what is being described here, Randahl mentioned you in his Mastodon post. BridgyFed, the fediverse/Bluesky bridge, copied that post to Bluesky. Since your own account is not opted-in to bridging, the mention in the post was interpreted by Bluesky as a web link, for which it generated a preview card. The preview card is based on public information provided by Mastodon. There is clearly a clash of expectations here but no malice.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron
Perhaps you are correct, however, men should be more careful with women's safety.
Please talk with women who work with SA survivors and you will understand why what I am saying is true.

@HarriettMB

in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron
And this is why giving up privacy to make data public needs to be opt-in, not opt-out.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Perhaps Mastodon shouldn't generate cringe preview cards for account profile links, but instead use the instance graphic & text that makes it clear it's an account link. This seems like a basic safety confidence UX issue.
in reply to Cassandrich

@dalias If you put an Instagram profile in a Discord message, it will show you the name, bio, and the profile picture in the preview. Same for Twitter/X, Bluesky, Threads, YouTube, Tumblr, Wordpress, and countless others. If we did anything else, it would be quickly reported as a bug and people would be frustrated, because this is your public profile and you customize it to what you want it to be.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Have they used a third-party client for Bluesky? I cannot reproduce this behavior with my bridged posts. Neither on bsky.app (Safari on iOS) nor with the official iOS app. Mentions are just links to an external website (i.e. public profile) without any preview card or additional information.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron

Very important and very clear explanation. With this, the technical issue became clear right now as well. Thanks so much‼️‼️‼️

@HarriettMB@beige.party

in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Hi, Eugen
Perhaps that preview card data should not be made public outside Mastodon if the user has chosen either heightened privacy or no bridging?

Personally, I’d like to be sure myself that I’m not accidentally doxxing people simply because they’re mentioned in a toot, possibly a long way down a thread?




It’s publication day (again!) for “Face with Tears of Joy”!

The book has been out in North America for a couple of weeks, and now that World Emoji Day (worldemojiday.com/) has rolled around, it's time to launch it everywhere else.

Get it wherever you buy your books! shadycharacters.co.uk/2025/07/…

“Is Firefox on the right path? Maybe.”

Really don't think so! #Mozilla rather cares about the #AITrend more than its users.

Ah, and also, killing good #software for the sake of this #trend. And when you think that it's little probable for it to succeed in it, when there are much bigger players on the table! 🙁

I listened to a lot of Kate Nash back in college; I was a huge fan. Then she just kinda fell off my radar. Well this song just put her back on my radar in a big way. What a great piece of work.

And this is why you don’t let your film run through the X-Ray machine at the airport 😩

Portra 400, so yeah, they CAN effect films below 800 iso

in reply to David Imel

Are lead-lined envelopes still available? I used them for transatlantic shipping of floppy disks in pre-internet times, they might help here too.
in reply to mschomm

@mschomm If you put your film in a lead bag they will just scan it harder. The only way around is to ask for a hand check (in which case they need easy access to the film to swab it).
