Woke up at 5am yesterday to watch Chelsea lose 2-0. (this is a sad)

Stayed awake to watch Barcelona beat Real Madrid for the 4th El Clasico in a row this year. (this is a happy)

So in the end, things evened out. (Not gonna mention the LA Galaxy because I'll just begin to tear up)

@matthewbadger Yea, it must have been a muscle injury because I'm already feeling better (not 100% but I was able to train today).

That sounds terrible. I'm sorry that happened to you. How was the recovery?

Late last year my knees were aching (actually the area right below my knee, like between my shin and knee, no clue what it's called). I ended up resting for about 5 weeks until the pain went away, bought some good sleeves, and really focused on my form until I was able to squat normal weights again and thankfully the pain hasn't returned.

I'm about 12 minutes away from harassing every Arsenal fan I know with:

"'Champions of Europe', you'll never sing that! You'll never sing that! You'll never sing that!"

Like most fans of English clubs, we're all PSG fans today!

I love it.

@whynothugo @josh We also try to pitch this (including hosting) but it's a very hard sell.

Especially moving off of Google Apps or Office 365. It's just too convenient, even with the many draw backs. Smaller organizations seem to be more open to it but obviously a much smaller budget, which is probably OK.

We've had some success in convincing companies to at least add Mastodon to their social presence by using examples of Twitter/FB removing accounts who've done nothing against TOS and how that can affect their presence.

One thing we like to do is point out sketchy, or just plain terrible, clauses or sentences in the TOS of some services.

I've been exhausted from training as I reached the end of the current block. I told myself that my back is tired. Feels tight/sore. Don't push myself today. I even said I wasn't gonna being my belt or chalk so I'm not tempted to push.

I didn't listen. I brought my belt. My chalk. I pushed. I hurt my god damn back. Now I'm walking around like Quasimodo over here.

Hope it's not too bad. Feels like I'll be fine in a couple of days. Luckily I'm going on vacation next week so I'll be resting for a bit.

I don't see what all the fuss is about. All US businesses have to do is build a few tens of thousands of factories and then hire and train 10 million specialised workers who'll be willing to work 60-hour weeks for $3 an hour.

Should take 6 weeks, tops. 3 if they use ChatGPT.

Libera.Chat would not be what we are today, if not for OSL's sponsorship of the network before us.

OSL has been an integral part of open source and open culture project support for a very long time. They support projects we use, learn from, and contribute to. Many of these projects call Libera.Chat home.

Nonprofits, businesses, governments, and you all depend on projects OSL sponsors. If not directly, then somewhere upstream.

OSL is worth saving.

I was today's years old when I realized that a #golang http.Server.Listen() can be called multiple times with multiple listeners.

Until now I was instantiating multiple servers, one for each listener instead, which was a waste of resources.

"- In March 2025, senior members of the World Uyghur Congress (WUC) living in exile were targeted with a spearphishing campaign aimed at delivering Windows-based malware capable of conducting remote surveillance against its targets.

- The malware was delivered through a trojanized version of a legitimate open source word processing and spell check tool developed to support the use of the Uyghur language. The tool was originally built by a developer known and trusted by the targeted community.

- Although the malware itself was not particularly advanced, the delivery of the malware was extremely well customized to reach the target population and technical artifacts show that activity related to this campaign began in at least May of 2024.

- The ruse employed by the attackers replicates a typical pattern: threat actors likely aligned with the Chinese government have repeatedly instrumentalized software and websites that aim to support marginalized and repressed cultures to digitally target these same communities.

- This campaign shows the ongoing threats of digital transnational repression facing the Uyghur diaspora. Digital transnational repression arises when governments use digital technologies to surveil, intimidate, and silence exiled and diaspora communities."

I don't think I honked this but someone crashed my main vehicle about 6 weeks ago. And the wheels turn very slowly here in Nicaragua so I've been driving my old Hilux in the mean time (I was literally going to sell it the day after the crash, so I had to cancel that).

Well, finally today I get my vehicle back.

Oh, fun fact about Nicaragua. Full coverage car insurance here covers only 80% of the damages. So I have to pay 20% of the repair costs even though it wasn't my fault. Fun times in the tropics.

Migrated from anubis to go-away for a few reasons:

1. Anubis became to flashy for me. The progress bar, the need for npm, etc. just to build it. I hacked my own fork to keep that stuff out but keeping up with development became too much work.
2. go-away supports one daemon for multiple backends
3. go-away is a lot more configurable in terms of rules, conditions, specific situations, etc.

Not hating on Anubis. I still think it's great, just no longer fit my needs as it developed.

“Slopsquatting” in a nutshell:

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

Honkers out there. Can you help me with the following #honk terminology and fill me in where I'm missing or correct me if I'm wrong:

donk = image (attachment)
bonk = boost
xonk = ?
zonk = mute / delete
badonk = ?
qonk = vote in poll

Also have most of you moved to honk3? I don't remember if there is a migration process from old school honk to honk3 or even if it's something that's recommended heh. I'm pretty find with old school honk so.

White Lotus ending didn't disappoint. Even though this was my least favorite season, I did enjoy the last couple of episodes and the finale paid off.

At some point I clicked a video of some Gen Z'er eating a huge chipotle burrito for the camera and just making a total mess of it.

The algorithm thought I liked the content and showed me a couple more. I clicked and watched.

Now it's like 90% of what the algorithm shows me. I continue to click and watch. I have no explanation for why I do this. I just do.

I can't believe there are massive influencers who simply eat food in front of the camera. There are some who don't even talk. Some who don't even show their face, just aggressive eating/editing. I can't believe I watch these every damn day. I mean wtf.

@teleclimber Basically within 6 months of buying it the radio started failing. So I couldn't make calls longer than 30 seconds before it would drop.

Did a bunch of debugging with support online and it was determined to be a faulty radio and I would be given a new phone. The issue is I live outside of the US and I can't initialize a new phone on Google Fi internationally.

So it was noted when I returned to the US (which would be after the warranty expired) that with the case history my warranty would be honored.

Leading up to my next trip home I started reaching out to schedule the swap. They stopped responding. I tried many times, nothing. When I finally got home to the US they wouldn't honor it because the warranty expired.

So I will never buy another Google phone because of it.

@teleclimber I loved my Nexus 5. Miss that phone actually. I did a few Pixels but after Google totally screwed me over with my Pixel 7 I won't use Google phones again. Now I use a Samsung S24 Ultra. It's expensive and massive but after I adjusted to it, I love it.

Next time I think I'll go with a Plus version though. I just don't need everything the Ultra gives me.

@art_codesmith
There are no open source devs at the table when they choose to no longer publish under an open source software license. They are free to do that and we respect their decision. Please also respect our decision not to use that software any longer, if it is no longer free software.

There are many ways to monetize software. Turning free software into proprietary one is one such thing. But after that switch it is no longer free software. That's it, no need for euphemism.

@tedu I took my 2018 (? ish) 6th gen x1 carbon out of my storage cabinet to give to my wife because her 4th gen started having issues.

I sat there on my < 1 year old P14 beast looking longingly at the x1. Easily the best keyboard of any laptop I've ever used. I wish Lenovo put that keyboard on this P14 (I am not a fan of the P14 kb at all)

Claude availability by country/region:

https://www.anthropic.com/supported-countries

Haiti, where gangs are shooting at civilians planes at the airport when they're landing is allowed.

Costa Rica, where gangs recently rushed a beach on the Caribbean side of the country spraying AK47's at people simply enjoying the day with their families, is allowed.

Mexico, I don't need to say more here, is allowed..

Nicaragua however, which is one of the safest countries in the Western Hemisphere (despite also being the 2nd poorest) is not allowed.

I know it's politics and not really crime that's the reason but man this annoys me.

OK, so QuickBooks (Intuit) now requires a subscription to use their software, even the desktop version. So I need a way to manage the books for 5 different companies that don't have any crazy requirements.

Has anyone out there ever migrated to GNUCash from QB? Any experience with it? How about getting really crazy and using something like ledger or hledger? I'm fine with the CLI but getting my bookkeeper and CPA on board with this will be fun.

@blainsmith it seems like limeleaf is similar business to mine, what do you use to manage your books?

Just looking for general advice on migrating away from QB. Preferably an open source tool but I'm open to anything. My only requirement is that I can run it offline. Bonus points if it runs on Linux but I'm fine with using a VM if need be.

Boosts greatly appreciated!

I can't with UEFA anymore. The corruption for Real Madrid is too much. There is always some weird scenario that comes up that gives RM a penalty or some advantage but disallowing Julian Alvarez' goal for double touching is total bs. This is the wildest I've seen yet. Even my (many) friends who support RM say that was bs but of course, they're happy and used to it because it always falls in their favor.

Ugh, why do I let football ruin my day....

@teleclimber @adamghill I'm pretty sure there are ways to do this already. Django can do streaming responses and I seem to remember some apps to help do what you want but honestly I don't do enough fancy front end to remember.

If you wanna toy around you can say parse the header/footer sections, stream the header, stream the "meat", then the footer. Quick and easy experiment I suppose.

Now Bluesky's Jay Graber is simply lying.

“If a billionaire came in and bought Bluesky and took it over, or I decided tomorrow to change things in a way that people didn’t really like, then they could fork off and go on to other applications.”

in reply to: https://chaos.social/users/Merovius/statuses/114125129353269646

@Merovius Essentially it's this. In two places I have similar calls like:

lt.Translate("%s Links", obj.Title)

and

lt.Translate("%s Links", obj.Name)

This creates a conflict in translation IDs in the out.gotext.json file. I tried using custom ID's in the .json files and manually adjusting them but then they are just overwritten during the next go generate. I tried various times, including changing how the variables are referenced in the translation files.

Finally I gave up and just used a Title variable where the Name was used. This basically makes the translations think it's the same translation, which technically I guess it is anyway.

Thus the weird hack of creating a random Title var and using it in that case and my comment, while lacking any sense, shows my frustration and annoyance hah.
