New blog post! Come figure out how I have configured my Forgejo runners to build my container images on my Raspberry Pi, totally self-hosted and private. I went crazy and run Docker in Docker in Docker in ... (you got the idea). There is also a bonus LXC container with Proxmox and a sprinkle of Ansible. This was a fun experiment, and I hope you enjoy it!

Ya es oficial: mi primera década de decadencia nutricional 😂

🌱🐣🦍🐎🐮🐷🦌🦭🐙🌱
🎂 🎂

Una de las mejores decisiones que he tomado en mi vida.

El día más duro de mi viaje fue sin duda el primero: enfrentarme a mí mismo, lo demás vino solo.

Hace unos años escribí esto sobre mi experiencia, por si a alguien le interesa: mipumpvegano.wordpress.com/201

is entering hibernation.

There's a lot of reasons for this, but the one at the deepest root of it that I get my ideas for articles from being in community, and right now, the community is awash in rage and pain.

And I just can't take it.

Have a read for the details, if you want to know the full story.

Hi, for the new followers 👋🏻, this is my . I’m TEI from Taiwan, drawing digital manga. I’ve published 1~2 volumes of comic books, and worked with Japanese artists. One of my comics has English version which is titled "Confessions of a 35 Year Old" and you can find it out at the Amazon store (USA).

I'm Taiwanese so my first language is Traditional Chinese. The second language is Japanese. I use translation tool to write English. Thanks for following! 😊

The title at the bottom says "Confessions of a 35 Year Old".

Two young men standing on the balcony. The warm light emits the dark night. The man on the left, wearing glasses and holding a mug in his hand, has an earthy yellow cardigan sweater on his shoulder. The man on the right is touching the glasses man's hand. They smile and look at each other.

Really excited to be starting to focus more and more of my time into building a better home for , on top of @radicle - a peer-to-peer forge !

It's time to take back some of that control, before it's too late.

With , you can seed projects, like you seed - ensuring that they stay available, despite corporate agendas.

Hey, newcomer:

I do not accept any follower request from an account without any public activity, an introduction toot or a somewhat filled profile.

Just saying! 🙂

Edit: In fact, I will "reject". Please, do your homework and come request again later. 😉

If you didn't like it then you should have just unfollowed it

Building ActivityPub @index@activitypub.ghost.org

Happy Monday! This week's edition comes to you a little later than usual, hot on the heels of a bunch of different work we're excited to tell you about. So grab your favorite sweater and a cup of coffee as we dive back into all that's bold and beautiful from across the open social web.

Last week we shared Pixelfed's crowdfunding campaign with you. They're doing great, so far, and every little helps. If you haven't already backed the campaign, please consider doing so! It makes such a huge difference to indie teams doing their best to go up against giant corporations with minimal resources.

What's new with ActivityPub?

First and foremost, ladies and gentlepugs, we have achieved a great innovation within the hallowed halls of social networking. A technical feat so staggering you'll be forced to steady yourself like an FAA employee who just got back from vacation.

Are you ready?

Forget AGI. We have achieved the unfollow:

0:00
/0:09

Yes, it's true. For the past 6 months you could follow people in Ghost, but it was pretty much an until-death-do-us-part situation. Not ideal in those cases where you find out that your casual acquaintance Nigel turns out to hold some rather extreme views that are only now coming to light and you realize you made a huge mistake. Oh Nigel.

Unfollows are kind of interesting because, on the face of it, they seem simple: Just stop following a person and getting new posts from them. Under the hood, though, there's a little more work to do. For instance, after you unfollow someone, you probably expect to stop seeing their posts in your feed — which means we need to figure out how to go and find all their posts that are in your feed, and then remove them.

What's hard about that? [All together now] The database! Unless you've stored things neatly then it's hard to query, retrieve, process and delete the right things.

So this is the first little feature-release we're getting out as a result of shipping our new database architecture. More of that on the way.

This also feels like an opportune time to remind a few of you that if you don't like AI generated images of pugs, you should feel free to unfollow us! AI pugs make us happy, if they don't make you happy then that's totally ok. We can like different things.


In other news, John spoke at FOSDEM 2025 this weekend and gave a more detailed look into what we've been working on with ActivityPub.

The official video hasn't been released yet by the conference, but as a subscriber to this newsletter we're sneaking (read: leaking) you an early copy. Shh.

Unfortunately, the video has a few issues. John is mostly not on the screen, there's a bit of footage missing around the 20-minute mark, and the end of the Q&A is cut off. You can see the slides and hear all the audio easily enough, throughout, though!

So what's coming up next?

Reposts.

@FediChatBot I'm currently using a MacBook Pro M1 Max (32GB RAM, 512GB SSD), but I'm finding the storage to be too small. I'm considering buying a new MacBook Air, but since the latest M3 model doesn't support 32GB of RAM, I'm wondering if I should wait for the M4 model. Based on the release history of the MacBook Air series, is it possible to roughly predict when the MacBook Air M4 model might be released? Also, can we make any educated guesses on whether the MacBook Air M4 model will support 32GB of RAM?

Just a personal heads-up for everyone I interact with: we've reached a point where if I see you in *any* way aligning with Trump or Musk, you are immediately going on my mental 'fascist' list with no further discussion and I will not speak to you anymore.

I don't care if you "didn't know how bad it is". The time for learning that is well past, so if you still "don't know", then I'm going to conclude that you didn't *want* to know and decide accordingly.

"Capitalism is the system that worked the best for us over the course of history" ppl annoy me so much, but in the end it is not their fault they think that because we all get indoctrinated from early on that capitalism is the only thing and the only good-ish thing that works. Communism and Socialism have been talked down and wrongly cited for decades if not centuries which lead to this outcome... Guess there is still a lot to be done

refers to @danielmrose ‘ s mother (not on Fedi) who plays every day and shares her score with Dan who then reports his score along with hers. The “game” is that we try to beat her score. Ties go to her. There are about 6 of us who post daily, and a few occasional posters. All are welcome to join. The only requirement for participation is to include the hashtag when posting your score.

While I've posted most of these over the last few weeks, I've started a gallery on my site for the Muro Loco / Wall Crazy series.
mikaljakubal.com/galleries/

Still a work in progress. I need to add more shots, caption all of them, write an intro. I'd like to find a place to exhibit them.

Edit to add that I'm still adjusting the gallery in mobile view. The captions override the images too much. Looks better on a big screen. I'm working on it.

An abstract "arty" shot of the top of the U.S.-Mexico border fence. It appears as a series of pointy, rusty metal plates, like some sort of metallic dragon's-back plates atop vertical corrugations formed by telephoto compression of the 30' tall posts that make up the fence. The border fence road can be seen "above" the fence, though it's really an artifact of the telephoto lens and the angle of view. The road surface appears as black and white corduroy stripes: shadows from the low sun shining through the fence.

I like stories with texture. Even if it distracts from plot.
Give me an extravagant sense of place and a mystic's appreciation of focus -
Show me constellations of stars in coiling ribbons of smoke. Show me secrets of language in a bird's dance. Make me feel chill breeze in the leaden, strangling air of summer, and lose me amidst twining paths in a starlit wood. Leave me staring, certain I've seen a glimmer of the most precious apparition in dark masts of bamboo.
