The mod team are saddened by yesterday's incident at Bondi Beach, and our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones. It is timely to remind everyone to use content warnings. In addition, refrain from sharing news from non reputable sources, or broadcasting ill informed opinions and offensive memes. Be mindful that people are falsely identifying offenders, with one innocent person already experiencing doxxing. Aus.social does not give a platform for anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, racism or bigotry. Be kind to each other.
If you’ve ever dismissed #Halloween as an American invention, you might want to rethink that.
For at least the past couple of millennia, the changing of the seasons has been marked among Celtic peoples with festivals at recognised times of year.
One of these was known by the Irish and Scottish Gaels as Samhain (pronounced “sah-win”), celebrated at the onset of winter.
For the last few millennia, the changing of the seasons has been marked by Celtic peoples with festivals. And some of the costumes were genuinely terrifying.
The Python Software Foundation just had to pass on a US$1.5M grant from the National Science Foundation for PyPI maintenance. One condition of the funding was that the PSF drop any DEI efforts, and if this condition is violated, the NSF can claw back the money even if it's already been spent. That clawback is too risky, so the PSF had to pass on the funding. (This is pretty shameful: PyPI security is a broad benefit, but of course the administration prefers to grind its own ax here.)
If you develop #Python code or rely upon it for your business, it'd be great if your company could become a sponsor of the PSF, or if you could donate personally to the PSF.
The PSF applied for a $1.5M grant from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) to make innovative improvements to packaging security—and we were recommended for funding! But as a condition of funding, we were asked to affirm that we wouldn’t undertake any diversity, equity, and inclusion work, whether or not we used the government funds to do so.
Friends, to be honest, I'm a little sad🥺 I put a lot of time, soul and love into each handmade jewelry, but very few people see my posts, and there are almost no orders. It hurts, because I just dream of sharing my creativity from Ukraine with you💙💛
If you like what I do, please share so that more people see my jewelry, leave a comment, or make a order. I'm waiting for you on Etsy or in DM📩 etsy.com/shop/NadiiaJewelryArt
Has anyone here attempted running Friendica in FrankenPHP or similar? Was curious if the extra effort was worth any noticeable performance improvement. Thanks!
Starting to get the itch to re-do my server, as this is the year Ubuntu 20.04 LTS loses support. Was thinking TrueNAS but wanted a little more freedom with lower ports. Now thinking about using #ZFSBootMenu on Alpine as a host for converting most everything to #docker :
I suppose my old #wifi PCI-E adapter on my desktop shot craps. Worked up the gumption to run ethernet to that that and my TV. Speed on the desktop went from 4 Mbps down to 878 Mbps! 🤯 #firstworldjoys
Thought I'd write an #introduction for all those #newhere from the Musk exodus:
I'm an analytical chemist. I've hosted my own #Friendica node (instance) at my home since 2018, shortly after the Cambridge Analytica scandal. From there, I got bit by the #selfhosting bug and am now hosting my own #opensource replacements for many FAANG services.
Welcome all to the #fediverse ! If you are thinking about self-hosting and have questions, would be happy to help as able! #introductions
