The Fediverse is quite varied, and often the platforms don't all talk to each other well/at all because they're doing different things.

To explain in relation to the alternatives to big media:

Twitter-like - microblogging and following users/hashtags: Mastodon, Misskey etc, Pleroma, etc, etc

Reddit-like - threaded conversation and content aggregation, following communities: Lemmy, mbin (kbin died), PieFed

Youtube-like - video content: PeerTube (or Loops for Tiktok-style short videos)

Instagram-like - sharing photos: Pixelfed

Facebook-like - social media: Friendica (also Diaspora which is like Google+)

Goodreads-like - tracking read books and sharing reviews: Bookwyrm

And more: Funkwhale, Hubzilla, Jitsi, WriteFreely, etc

The European Union has proposed changes to a 2023 law that effectively banned the sale of new internal combustion engine cars from 2035.

Headline seems to be jumping the gun.

They've already started building the hotel, but they've got a way to go.

This is quite interesting. I'd been looking into dbus lately and was confused by a few design choices so it makes sense to me that the design is faulty.

Running both simultaneously seems pretty feasible since the session bus bus should be quite lightweight (worse case would be a lot of inter-bus traffic if/when that gets implemented).

Security and kv are excellent features.

I feel it might have more luck gaining adoption if its name did t tie it to hyprland.

"Everyone I've met" (I have been to Israel a few times over my lifetime, but I haven't talked to anyone from there recently)

I watched this yesterday, I can heartily recommend it. I then went down the rabbit hole learning about Dynamicland.

I'm assuming it's someone who thinks they're getting revenge for Israel's genocide in Gaza. Almost everyone I've met who would celebrate Hanukkah is no fan of Netanyahu's war crimes but I guess for some Jewish = Israeli.

I don't think these times are right 😅 The last one probably did take 15 minutes to figure out (I'd put "box" in originally).

I did look it up after posting, and thought this one explained it better:
https://nic.moe/en/

What is moe?

The word “moe” (in Japanese: “萌え”; pronounced as “moh-ay”) is a slang word rooted deep in the Japanese Otaku culture. It has often been used to mean a particular type of “adorable” or “cute” towards fictional characters, people, animals, etc.

Are those temperatures a problem? If it's consistently hitting and staying at those temps, perhaps the hardware is controlling temperature as planned.

I have a new AMD build and the 7800X3D seems quite happy in the high 80s, which long compiles cause it to be at frequently.

With the resources e.g. Five Eyes have, you'd think that being visible on satellite while spoofing your location would be a telltale red flag that draws unwanted attention.

My laptop doesn't have stickers all over it, but this could be my gateway sticker.

 

A severed mosquito proboscis can be turned into an extremely fine nozzle for 3D printing, and this could help create replacement tissues and organs for transplants.

I've linked to a decent write-up on Tom's Hardware, but New Scientist covered it last week too.

Source paper: 3D necroprinting: Leveraging biotic material as the nozzle for 3D printing (science.org)

 

An Australian YouTuber got invited to a NATO wargame and made this very interesting video about it.

The section that starts at 3m30s (10 minutes long) discusses the military history of wargaming which I found fascinating.

The rest of it is also well worth a watch.

It's not new (it sat in my watch later list for a month since it's 65 minutes long) so apologies if you've already seen it.

My personal domain has hundreds of aliases - one for each site I deal with. This is great for identifying the source of spam, and I retire any aliases that get spam.

haveibeenpwned.com lets me add a domain, but wants 3912 USD a year to actually tell me which addresses leaked. This is obviously an insane price for a nice-to-have.

Is there an alternative for free or very cheap? A self-hosted tool that would pull down lists would be great, but I suppose those lists aren't public.

The name, that is.

I was curious if Burp Suite's Dafydd Stuttard was Welsh, which led me to his AMA video.

PortSwigger was his handle when he was starting out, and was a pun about the fortified wine from Portugal and port scanners.

That vid also answers who is Peter Wiener.
