Someone packaged GtS for Arch (actually):

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gotosocial

It’s a bit of an older version but it’s still very cool to see!

#introduction

fedizine is an anarchist introduction to federated social media. It's an actual paper zine! Being released at the 2022 Montreal Anarchist Bookfair... but coming soon to you?

@mtlbookfairunofficial #MTLBookfair

We're excited to shit talk corporate social media, demystify the Fediverse, and help get anarchists off the former and onto the latter...

People reading this are already on the #fedi so you know what's up... But feel free to BOOST and help spread the word!

More sanity from my home country: Māori tribal leaders & their advisers call for data sovereignty, to take back control of what is theirs. Cited is "an intergenerational approach to data, as a taonga (treasure)"

Self-hosting is included as a strategy, servers at home & on the marae (meeting house).

This initiative can be seen as a form of infrastructural de-colonisation, reclaiming what has been lost to the digital imperialism of AWS, Microsoft & other 'cloud' giants

Oh my god, Katamari is incredibly addictive. It's 2AM, and I had to practically tear myself away from it.

Found a better explanation:

"The extremely high destructive power of such a beam imposes an external dump [...].
Each beam dump absorber consists of a 7m long segmented carbon cylinder of 700mm diameter, contained in a steel cylinder, comprising the dump core. This is water cooled, and surrounded by about 750 tonnes of concrete and iron shielding. The dump is housed in a dedicated cavern at the end of the transfer tunnels."

Cool that the Wall Street Journal covered Nextcloud: Microsoft and cookies https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-in-the-wall-street-journal-microsoft-and-cookies/

@hostea was created this year by @realaravinth and @dachary with the modest ambition of making #GitHub redundant.

We would like Hostea to thrive as a #Zebra in a post-growth economy. But we are geeks with no sense of business or marketing whatsoever.

Do you know someone who might be willing to team up and make this happen? A person who would bring balance to Hostea with a strong inclination for business development in a Free Software frame.

Boost appreciated 🚀
