Yesterday was my dad’s birthday. DOGE wrote me a letter this month. They want money back from him.

He had schizophrenia and was sometimes homeless. In his later years I was able to help him stay housed, and he received $180 of SSI monthly which went toward his rent in assisted living in a low-income bed.

But DOGE has realized that they overpaid him. So they sent a letter warning that some of that money may need to be returned.

The thing is, my dad is dead.

I like what Torvalds's "pure incompetence" looks like. Mine tends to be a lot more destructive..


¿Qué le ha ocurrido a internet, nuestro gran experimento?

El inicio del modelo de “servicio gratuito” de internet auguró una larga y lenta pendiente descendiente en lo tocante a la privacidad personal, una suerte de pacto faustiano que implicaba ceder control y autonomía personal a las grandes corporaciones tecnológicas a cambio de estos servicios.

@helpers Hello, I'm new to fediverse hosting. Recently started a small Friendica instance for me and my friends.
System: YunoHost 12.0.12 on VPS bought online
App: Friendica 2024.12-1~ynh1
URL: kedralife.cz

I have huge problems with the worker queue, it periodically gets stuck for a very long time, processing nothing for hours or (more often) days (so far the maximum was 11 days) when it just grows a processes nothing. This means that my friends can't send each other private messages, public posts don't federate and any sort of permission-restricted posts get stuck on "pending" for days.

I tried running the worker.php with crontab very 5 minutes in addition to the friendica deamon, but it does not seem to help.

Friendica-deamon log:
paste.yunohost.org/ixukovuzuz
mysql log:
paste.yunohost.org/ezezaqebeg
Worker settings and worker queue:

in reply to Rainer "friendica" Sokoll

@rainer I presumed it handles email notifications.

The error messages from the log are from my prior effort to solve unrelated problem by completely effing up my posfix settings.

That one now seems to be solved by reinstalling postfix.

simple answer: quite the same as "apk upgrade --update" or "apt update && apt full-upgrade"


I was just so excited about this new crop of Pebbles I had to blog about it.

My mom was right. Everything that goes out of fashion comes back in eventually. I think she was talking about bellbottoms but it works for smartwatches too.

Yay thank you for sharing this! Do you think it would work as a privacy friendly kid watch? I guess basic needs:

- calling
- texting
- location monitoring only to parents

@ntnsndr Like, notifications on the watch require having a phone? To inform the person of a text to the watch?


The European Union is aiming high with EU OS. Will they be able to achieve their goals?

in reply to It's FOSS

I don't think building a distro is the best way to switch to Linux for the public sector.

The EU should test @SUSE, which is based in Germany or a community-based distro like #AlmaLinux.

Building a New Distro is, IMO, wasting ressources that can be used in training PEOPLE to use Linux and Implementation.

Apparently when you travel to the US, free speech is not allowed. Vance comments in Europe about freedom and free speech sound more hollow then ever before.
"The tactics have unnerved foreign tourists and sent a chill through immigrant communities in the United States, who say they are being targeted for speech — not for breaking any laws."

Weird. It's been a while that I played the game, but if you'd asked me I'd have said: they already have this! 🤷 I was pretty sure they'd already have reflexions and hazy light and stuff. Well... since *now* I'm finally right again. 😅

I really enjoyed that book. But Danial Mason’s The Winter Soldier was fantastic.
