Pete WrightIn whats i'm sure not be a shock to anyone, but the #fediverse is basically useless in an emergency. There was *some* slightly useful info. But the fact that search is garbage and no one has a coherent way to use hash tags makes it pretty pointless if you are trying to coordinate on a hyper-local level with normal, non tech obsessed people. its fine for other stuff, but certainly not useful when things are really chaotic and time sensitive.
bluesky is garbage too, but it did have a few useful things out there and the search was at least usable even if it was mostly just idiots spreading misinfo.
shockingly instagram seemed to provide the most useful, actionable info for me over the past several days. that and traditional media like TV.
now that the media has entered the "blame game" phase its looking like print media will be the most reliable source of info moving forward.
Like first of all fuck capatilism, but secondly fuck all you internet sleuths spreading misinformation and conjecture. Like yea I get it you’re autistic, white and have free time so of course you have a shitty take…but just sit this one out. You have no idea wtf is going on here
nice, i wonder when this will make its way into aviation use-cases. i've seen small electric planes before and they are amazingly quiet..but as i said really small and have a limited range.
I remember I had my outback up in canada during a blizzard where we had over a meter of snow and wanted to do some doughnuts in a parking lot. after about 5mins of trying to get it to spin out and trying generally to be reckless i gave up cause the thing just stuck to the road 😭 it also had really good tires on it that the mechanic said "this thing i'll be able to climb a tree with these on it"
I was reading his obituary this morning in the LA Times and never realized the full breadth of his impact on our culture. This bit of racism from Truman Capote was pretty wild, but unfortunately not surprising.
this actually looks ways worse than i first imagined...the docs still haven't been updated, they still refer to the old saltstack domain for installing via packages.
any other #salt#saltstack admins or users out there heard of this cutover before today? i don't remember seeing anything on their mailing list i'm sub'd to until today.
"In order to integrate with Broadcom infrastructure and policies, we are migrating off of AWS public cloud infrastructure and consolidating services used by Salt Project by end of October 2024."
and it was published on...drum roll please: "by Salt Project Team — Oct 28, 2024"
well played broadcom, i guess if you screw all your users royally they'll leave and you won't have to support them anymore.
OK sounds like #Broadcom is royally screwed everyone here. From the salt-users mailing list:
"No, the old infrastructure will disappear at the end of the month. This is something that is being mandated by Broadcom. We were only able to work out the details of what is happening and options available to us this week as it is affecting all of VMware, not just Saltstack.
Sorry for the late notice. We are doing the best we can to handle the pain points. Unfortunately, there will be many changes related to this. Things won't be as pretty as they were before."
RIP developers, I'm not sure how #salt and #saltstack survive this, my team is already starting work to rewrite all of our config mgmt code to use #ansible.
@feld you see this issue while trying to build Pleroma v2.7.0 on FreeBSD before. Its complaining about tryinig to build a C dependency for vix. I have gmake/gcc13 installed - looking at makefile it doesn't seem to support freebsd?
@GossiTheDog The "There is no evidence of cyberattcks" bit is pretty hilarious. This is right after it explains how the logs are used to record information that would let you know there was an attack.
Like why even include that sentence aside from keeping some droid at MSFT happy?
I've been a happy on stock Pleroma for a few years now. I migrated off of bsd.network as well, but this was a while ago during one of the early twitter exodus waves happened.
It mostly just works for my personal fedi server. I run both the app and the psql database in a small bhyve VM without any issues. if i ever decide to move to a server someone else manages i'd probably kick the tires on bsd.cafe as they seem to be building a nice community.
