nuintari's rules of networking 0x14:

NAT should never have needed to exist.
NAT might have gone away, if y'all had taken IPv6 seriously in the mid 2000s.
But y'all got addicted to NAT, and now it is here to stay.
A significant number of complaints against IPv6 are now due to the sad reality that many people in IT do not understand networks without NAT.

In the past day or so, it was pointed out that my FediForum co-organizer has made some public statements that are incompatible with the kind of community we want to bring together at FediForum, and that I personally disagree with. Accordingly, Kaliya and I have agreed that she will be transitioning out of FediForum.

I was excited to go to the @fediforum on Tuesday.

But today I learned that one of the organizers, Kaliya "Identity Woman" Young, is a big ol' transphobe.

Evidence that she's an organizer:
fediforum.org/about/

Evidence that she's a transphobe is in the next toot in this thread.

For a community like the Fediverse to succeed, it needs to be welcoming. It cannot have as a leader someone who poses a danger to a vulnerable constituency.

'Sometimes when I make a game people tell me that it reminds them of “the old internet.” When they say this I think that they basically mean that I’ve made something fun and unmonetized largely for the joy of…making something fun'

Yep I get that a lot too

Something a bit different today:

I'd like to do a shoutout to writer and accessibility advocate Robert Kingett, who has helped lots of Fediverse projects with accessibility including BookWyrm, GoToSocial, Fedi.Tips and others.

He has done a lot for accessibility on the Fediverse, and I'd strongly recommend sending Robert a donation if you can (I've just done so). His donation links are at:

➡️ sightlessscribbles.com/support

You can follow him at @WeirdWriterRobert Kingett and his site is sightlessscribbles.com

My husband and I know this man. My husband taught his kids. He's an incredible sweet guy. He is in the country legally- he pays taxes, he's married to a US Citizen, he has no criminal record and now he's in ICE detention. For those who thought "it can't happen here" it is happening here. instagram.com/p/DHzAZhxJHcF/?i

🏛 Historic Flemington, NJ on Instagram: "Karim Daoud has been detained by ICE. A familiar and friendly face to anyone who dined at Blue Fish Grill between 2011-2022, Karim has been in the country for over 20 years. He is a family man and an upstanding member of his community. The following is from the Facebook page “Free Karim” - “Karim is not a criminal. He has no criminal history at all. Karim has always worked and paid taxes in the United States. Anyone who knows Karim knows his undying love for the United States, that he is a loving husband, an incredibly devoted father, and a well-loved and upstanding community member. One can even see tee-shirts and cars with bumper stickers around Flemington with his face on them, accompanied by a simple statement that sums Karim up well, “Be Kind”. Karim was detained after an appointment to pick up documents to fulfill his work authorization requirement and to remain in the United States as he has since he has been in this country. When he arrived at the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program office, he was informed that there had been a mistake and he had to go to ICE. Once at the Newark ICE facility, Karim was apprehended. He had gone there willingly under the pretense of clearing up a “mistake”. Let that sink in. Karim has been in a detention center in NJ but is now slated to be moved across the country, making it harder for his lawyer and his family to fight his case and bring him home: where he belongs.” Please call, email or write in support of our amazing friend."

For anyone curious, I didn't roll my own slides system this time, because my previous attempt was very janky, and I needed to concentrate more on content and just a bit of styling rather than bug fixing!

The slide system I used for this talk was Shower Presentation Engine (shwr.me) by @pepelsbeyVadim Makeev - I did a whole lot of CSS finagling to match it to my own tastes, but the base was this engine and its Material theme.

🎵 We listen to a lot of music from different countries and languages, so we go to concerts, have CDs and vinyl, but most of the time we listen to music via streaming services.

As part of the movement, we will personally try to listen to more music from Europe, especially from other European countries other than our own, but we need suggestions.

What if we did this together? This can help us discover a lot of nice music from our European friends. 😀 🇪🇺

So we thought it might be nice to create themed playlists with songs from different European artists.

Instead of letting the algorithm of your music streaming app decide our weekly recommendations based on paid content from record labels, the random recommendations of the Mastodon community could expand our musical horizons and help boosting European music. 🎻

Each week we could define a theme (e.g. music for a rainy day, songs with clever lyrics, etc.) and invite everyone to recommend a European song that fits the theme. We would collect the suggestions and create a public playlist somewhere (where?).

To decide on weekly themes, we could make polls a week in advance and on a certain day everyone would submit their song suggestions.

Are there people here who are interested in participating?
