I'm planning on reading Snow Crash and would like to know what the #Fediverse thinks of it. Is there anything I should know before reading? I have already read #cryptonomicon and really enjoyed it.

FediSuite 2.0 is live! 🎉

Your Fediverse Management Platform

If you run several Fediverse accounts, you might know the feeling: an idea is sitting in a note somewhere, a scheduled post is in another tab, and the numbers end up somewhere else again. I wanted to bring it all together.

The new #Planner takes a post from the first idea to publication. #Drafts save automatically. In the #ContentCalendar, you can see scheduled posts by month or week and move them to another time. #Campaigns group posts around a topic or event. Coloured #labels help you stay organised without ever appearing as hashtags.

After publishing, the searchable #archive helps you find and reuse your work. You can turn older posts into new drafts, collect evergreen content and spot posts that have become interesting again.

#ContentAnalysis compares formats, text lengths, links and more. Hints based on your own data appear while you write, and the #calendar shows promising time slots. For Mastodon-compatible accounts, the new #CommunityAnalysis shows which accounts interact with your posts, who is new and who keeps coming back. #Favourites, #boosts and #replies stay separate. These are ideas to try, not promises of more reach.

There’s a lot of work under the hood, too: access tokens for connected accounts are now stored encrypted, sessions expire, and one-time links have better protection.

FediSuite is still open source, free to use, without ads or trackers, and available to self-host. The web app supports more than 20 Fediverse platforms.

Give it a try: https://www.fedisuite.com/

I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas. And if something isn’t working quite right, please tell me that too. 💜

So, it's s a busy month for promos for my various books at Book Funnel. This linked promo is for my Appalachian Rural Noir: GOOSE CREEK HOLLER. CLICK ON GOOSE CREEK HOLLER! But, first, here's a little taste of the story.
Sheriff Dillard Buchnell is a decorated Marine, family man, and arguably the most dangerous man in the county he oversees. Bobby Mercer, a sleazy local attorney has spent years aiding and profitting from Dillard's corruption, but when a protected individual's safety and testimony threatens to crack Dillard's facade, Bobby's loyalties begin to fray. Maisy Stanwick is determined to bring Dillard and Bobby down, but exposing their crimes means taking on the town of GOOSE CREEK HOLLER, a town that would rather revere its sheriff than believe the worst about him. As she navigates stonewalling, threats ,and a deeply rooted culture of sience, Maisy must decide how far she is willing to blur the lines between right and wrong to see justice done. https://books.bookfunnel.com/crimestoriesfictionandnonfiction/zl8x3fx5up

Hey everyone,

@casey and @aseelfromgz had the honour of speaking to three families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

Wie @TobiWu sagt! 👍🇩🇪🇪🇺🤔

Ich versuche derzeit, darauf klar zu kommen, dass viele hier im Fediverse die Politikwissenschaft, die Koalitions- und Staatskrise (!) 👇 der Fünf-Säulen-Gewaltenteilung besser verstehen als die Profis, die in der mimetischen Falle sitzen… 🤷‍♂️

„Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier hat sich in den jüngsten Koalitionsstreit eingeschaltet – aus Sorge um die Stabilität des Landes. Schon seit Wochen brodelt es zwischen CDU und SPD, nun stand die Koalition offenbar auf der Kippe, weshalb das Staatsoberhaupt intervenierte. Das berichtet jedenfalls das Nachrichtenmagazin "Spiegel".“

Das schöne EU-Jugendschutzvorhaben #KIDSAct beißt sich mit der offenen Struktur des #Fediverse. Die alte Leier also - schon immer war das offene Internet der Feind aller Regulierer. Dabei muss es jedoch nicht grundsätzlich bei Unvereinbarkeit bleiben. Eine Mischung aus Regulierungsfunktionen, die Fediverse-Software in der Regel unterstützt, und staatlichen API-Angeboten für eine anonyme Altersverifikation könnte die meisten Detailprobleme wahrscheinlich lösen. Dieser kompetent geschriebene Heise-Artikel weiß mehr darüber. Er hätte nur nicht so viel nur von Mastodon reden sollen. Das wird ihm hier wieder zum Verhängnis werden. Und das, obwohl der Autor selbst Entwickler einer anderen Fediverse-Software ist...

Hi everyone,

I need to raise $280 this month for October groceries and platform maintenance.

I’m a disabled Indonesian independent writer and mutual aid organiser, and this work is sustained largely through community support rather than a fixed salary.

$80 is for groceries for the second half of October, with a deadline of 15 October. I’ve already covered my electricity, water, and internet for the month, and I still have enough food to get me through roughly the middle of October. I just need to make sure I can restock for the final two weeks.

The remaining $200 is for one year of VPS hosting for wrzky.com and mutualaidspace.org, with a deadline of 20 October. My current shared web hosting renews on 30 October, so I need that time to set up the VPS, migrate and test both production sites, switch everything over properly, and make sure there is no service interruption, especially on mutualaidspace.org. Hopefully, we can meet this goal a lot sooner than that.

mutualaidspace.org is the public-facing mutual aid infrastructure I’ve been building: campaign amplification, submitted requests, weekly roundups, and federation across the Fediverse. The server-side work has grown beyond what makes sense to keep forcing through shared hosting.

wrzky.com needs to move with it. It's my publishing home, and it's also where I build and test federation infrastructure and prototypes before developing them further for mutualaidspace.org. Some of that prototype work has been sitting on hold, and keeping wrzky.com on shared hosting would leave the development side of the project under the same limits I’m trying to move away from.

If you have money you can redistribute, please send some of it towards the $280 goal. $5, $10, $20, whatever is within your capacity; all of it moves me closer to having food covered and getting both sites onto infrastructure that can actually sustain the work.

🔗 https://ko-fi.com/wrzky/goal
🔗 Other options: https://wrzky.com/links

If you can’t contribute financially, please redistribute the request itself: boost it, repost it, share it with your networks, or put it in front of someone who can contribute. I need both money and distribution to get this covered by the deadlines. Thank you, thank you 💜

Qualche giorno fa avevo bisogno di qualcosa di sano e rinfrescante per lo stomaco e una delle cose che mi è sempre piaciuta di più è la gelatina.

Mi sono ricordata che mia suocera di solito ci mette dei pezzetti di mela o ananas, ma usa sempre la gelatina in polvere già pronta al gusto di frutta.

Tuttavia questa volta volevo provare con la gelatina in polvere naturale, aggiungendo io stessa il sapore.

Circa 1998-2001 I attended a conference of possibly the most impactful professional organization for addressing sexual offense, ATSA. In a big keynote a group of high-profile researchers described being invited to the Vatican to advise the Catholic leadership on how to address the increasingly common revelations of sexual abuse by clergy. The invitees gave their advice: the most current version of research-based, IRL-tested sexual abuse prevention interventions, including treatment for the offenders.

The conference speakers said many of the cardinals were adamantly opposed to any treatment for sex offender priests. They wanted (nearly demanded, as I recall) those priests be immediately cast out of the priesthood and the church. The treatment and prevention specialists argued against this: Send the priests to places or roles where they had no contact with potential victims but keep them in the priesthood and the church for monitoring and management. Kicking them out would simultaneously increase their personal distress levels to critical levels and remove them from anyone's radar. The hard-line cardinals' approach would make the offenders more dangerous and set them loose in communities.

Right now I'm seeing calls for essentially unlimited punishment toward sex offenders, driven by news about the alleged Cornell rapists and the powerful people in the Epstein files. Memes and posts (mostly not on my #fediverse feed) call for rapists and child molesters

1

to be killed, castrated, raped repeatedly in prison, etc. There is a lot of research on this from the past 50-odd years. This "tough on crime" approach is not #justice; it's vindictive punishment driven by fear and a moral panic. There is also quite a bit of relevant empirical research. In short, it doesn't work and it has unintended consequences.

"Tough on crime" often ends up doing nothing to reduce crime, even when liberals jump on the bandwagon. In many cases this approach makes more #crime. This stuff is hard. Like most hard things in science, politics, social policy, etc. the simple, "obvious" solutions are not the most effective. If they were, the problem would have been solved long ago.

1

the posts all said "pedophiles," but most people actually mean child molesters when they say that, and most people don't understand there is any distinction.

Spent tonight talking with 3 other fedi platform devs.

On paper, we're competitors.

In reality, we're family.

Family shares what they know. Family shows up. Family wants you to win.

That's what building for people instead of profit looks like.

The fediverse is the future. Powered by people ❤️

Good morning, #BSDCafe

Good morning, #Fediverse

Sunny and warm here, as usual. The day will be long and quite interesting. I'm waiting for a 'freebsd-update upgrade -r 15.1-RELEASE', waiting for a 2FA code for a commercial "secure" VPN to arrive (spoiler: I've been waiting for more than one hour. Old man yells at bad and inefficient solutions), and I badly want a Tiramisu.

Meanwhile, here's a photo I took a couple of weeks ago. I like the geometry in this photo and the shadows.

I hope you'll have a great day!

#Kidsact #Eu #BigTech #Altersverifikation

Alt...

Bye Bye Fediverse Und als absolute Krönung, werden im Gegensatz zum DSA kleine Plattformen wie Mastodon oder F-Droid nicht verschont. Milliardenkonzerne wie Meta, Google und Apple haben demnach die selben Auflagen zu erfüllen wie kleine, europäische Anbieter. Wikipedia und Codeberg kriegen ihre Ausnahme, ein dezentrales Netzwerk wie Mastodon nicht, obwohl es genauso offen und ehrenamtlich betrieben ist. Das heißt Altersverifikation für jede einzelne Instanz und jeden Software-Marktplatz, mit der ganzen bürokratischen Wucht, die daran hängt. Ein Mastodon-Server mit ein paar hundert Nutzer:innen kann sich diese Infrastruktur schlicht nicht leisten, ein Meta oder TikTok zahlt sie aus der Portokasse. Den kleineren bleibt dann nur Dichtmachen oder Jugendliche aus den datenschutzfreundlichen, offenen Teilen des Internets rauszuwerfen. Am Ende werden nur die größten Big-Tech-Konzerne Bestand haben, während Alternativen verschwinden. Das Fediverse stirbt so nicht an mangelnder Nachfrage, sondern an einem Gesetz, das Kinderschutz verspricht und die einzigen Räume killt, die eine echte Alternative zu Big Tech wären.

Thank you, @dch@bsd.network

One of the peculiarities of littleFedi is that it was developed and tested first on the BSDs, then on illumos, and only later on Linux.

The first public instance, my own @stefano@rpi0w.stefanomarinelli.it account, runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W with NetBSD.

I don’t think many social platforms have started out on NetBSD in recent years.

Now that #littleFedi has been released, and I can already see several instances run by different people federating with each other, this little instance feels like it's in good company.

#Fediverse #OwnYourData

There's a new very lightweight Fediverse platform that's just been released called littleFedi. You can follow its new official account at:

🌱 @littlefedi_official

Its official website including download and source code is at:

🌱 https://littlefedi.org

LittleFedi is intended for techy people who want to create their own Fediverse server using as few resources as possible.

It's written by @stefano (who also created the weather service FediMeteo).

#Fediverse #ActivityPub #FOSS #SelfHosting

LittleFedi is an excellent light weight but fully featured Fediverse platform (ActivityPub). I've been kicking tires and providing feedback on the test instance and excited for the first release to give it a go self-hosted.

@stefano has been leading a master class in community and developer relations. He has been stewarding the team and user community with enthusiasm and transparency. Congratulations to Stefano and the team.

Here's a great story of the project's genesis and journey. https://littleone.littlefedi.social/@littlefedi_official/01a0f644-8ed6-7a7d-ade6-46f4c0a74f41

This is an #Intro post from a test account on LittleFedi running from home on a Pi. Let's see how this goes before we migrate all my other accounts here.

I'm Richard, retired adventurer/author living in #Spain. El Perro Negro named after first dog. Bit of a grumpy old man but try to be good company. Will post about #hiking, #mountaineering, #photography, #technology, #selfhosting and #privacy issues. Interested in human generated #RSS content. Not got time for Politicians nor Big Tech.

Would love to meet up on the #Fediverse with like minded folk. Photo from last Novembers trip to El Chalten in Patagonia

A big shout out to certain male Fediversians, especially those I know...
If you a man, or identify as male, and you make it a point to engage in a thoughtful discussion instead of mansplaining, I want to let you know you're one of the reasons why women, or those who identify as such, don't leave social media.

Thank you for your respectful and most welcome humorous conversations and jokes/comments.
😊
