#selfhosting #freebsd - day 5
My previous IPv6 woes were largely a sysadmin competence deficiency.
The FreeBSD forum had someone with the same issue - https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/ipv6-gateway-and-subnet-issue-on-vps-server.93750/
While that damned penguin is happy to add routes outside their subnet, beastie is more choosy about who they will communicate with. Just using the commands:-
route -6 add xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::1 -iface vtnet0
route -6 add default xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::1
...get us connected. So we need to add the route then set it as the default, hence this tweak to rc.conf - and if I enable the gateway too and my jails are publicly routable too.
ipv6_static_routes='default'
ipv6_route_default='xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::1. -iface vtnet0'
ipv6_defaultrouter='xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::1'
ipv6_gateway_enable=YES
So I can now bring up my first test jail. I'm using BastilleBSD as an orchestration tool - I could do them manually but I think I have enough to worry about.
The countdown continues...
You know when you forget to do something?

We 💙 links! Starting this week, we've made it even easier for newsrooms and more to track how much traffic Bluesky is sending to their sites. For those setting up analytics, Bluesky's referrer is go.bsky.app.

This has been asked for on the (broader) Fediverse for a long time, too.

Although, in practice, it is impossible to prevent it. Someone can take a screenshot of your post and comment on it — thus doing an ad hoc DIY quote-post.
So: The linguistic practices of cows!
they're *complex*
for one thing, they're *slow* -- "when a mother calls to her calf, it sometimes takes 60 seconds for the calf to respond"
some researchers argue that the communications of cows might be more complex than that of whales

I published some notes on OpenAI's new text-to-speech and speech-to-text models. They're promising, but like other LLM-driven multi-modal models they appear to suffer from the prompt-injection-adjacent problem of mixing instructions and data in the same token stream

Divide I've noticed: people who have never experienced systemic oppression in their own or their family's lives are treating this like business as usual. Those who have family memories of camps, unjust incarceration, or are part of vulnerable communities, are freaking out. Listen to the latter.
Hello Fediverse! #introduction
dComms is a project by eQualitie that provides a curated and secure deployment of decentralized communication tools for civil society including #Mastodon #Peertube #Element #DeltaChat etc. #dComms creates small-world networks for reliable communications in low-bandwidth environments, resistant to censorship and shutdowns.
We are now actively working on server deployments in partnership with NGOs in 5 countries and help local communities #migrate to the Fediverse

I'm not a birthday person, but I turn 39 tomorrow and my brain likes this because 39 divided by 3 is 13 and 13 was a number I always loved, mostly because it is always associated with bad luck and when I was growing up especially, I was drawn to things that people assumed the worst of out of, like, a radical sense of defiance. Liking 13 was a way to correct an injustice I saw in the world.

Really, #Europarlement, I see nine social media buttons at the bottom of your site at:
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/portal/en
All to non public values driven, #privacy disrespecting #socialmedia platforms.
How is it possible that there is no #Mastodon button? Mastodon the only truly decentralized, public value driven, #opensource and independent social media platform.
How wil the #EU reach #DigitalSovereignty and #StrategicAutonomy when its #parlement gives such a bad example.
Practice what you preach!
@ernmander also! You might want to check out 
@stefanStefan Bohacek who does loads of things around building community on the Fediverse and Mastodon, in case you don't already know / follow them.
The one feature that I really miss in X-Window that Wayland doesn't implement...
Don't laugh or smirk...
"unclutter"
If the mouse stops moving it should disappear after X seconds. Otherwise the desktop has this ugly cursor just sitting there doing nothing.
With the new Wayland cursor protocols is this something that could be implemented now?
Could it already be implemented but is an oversight?
I'm not even disappointed about network transparency.
🌋💻 OceanSprint 2025 – Day 4 🚀
We made great progress today! Fixes to the apache-airflow package, improvements to Snix and integration test support in nixpkgs, and a blog post on preventing the XZ backdoor.
Big strides in supply chain security too: packaged SPIFFE for secure identity, and improved SBOM support via Laut, integrating it with Lila to track build provenance.
Plus, we hiked up a volcano for epic views and enjoyed traditional paella! 🍽️
Another question for my #WebRTC friends: Do you know what *exactly* makes an audio stream sync up with a video stream in libwebrtc?
Is it the a=msid:<stream-id> <track-id> grouping on the sender side?
Is it the a=msid:<stream-id> <track-id> grouping on the receiver side?
Is it both? Or is it something else entirely, e.g. do we need to create a MediaStream from both tracks on the sender or the receiver? Or do we need to attach both audio and video tracks to the same <video> element?
