New Kitten release

• Fixes #236¹: The data preview pages in Kitten’s settings how handle circular references in the deserialised data (which may contain your custom classes if that’s what you were persisting in the database).

https://kitten.small-web.org

💕

PS. Those pages are very rudimentary at the moment and are good for getting quick visual overview of the data you’re persisting. For a fully interactive view, use Kitten’s interactive shell (REPL)² to explore your data until I’ve had a chance to implement a more comprehensive visual interface.

PPS. You persist data in Kitten using the built-in JavaScript Database (JSDB)³ (Or, of course, you can install and use any other database.)

hello fediiii
this one finally has a new design to share!! incredibly far from done but at least it's something after all this time!!
this is the style it is going for right now go look at it (and maybe praise it..?) >>>>> https://test.invotek.net/

> As states assert control over data flows, digital platforms, and taxation, the model of an open and interoperable internet risks being eclipsed by competing, state-centric visions of digital order.

> Institutions like ICANN, WSIS, and the WTO must be empowered, modernized, and supported to reflect the complex interdependencies of digital trade, taxation, and governance.

なるほどなあ

So dope that @indexBuilding ActivityPub is adding a switch for Bridgy Fed!

One of our (many) goals with @anewsocial is to make it easier to bridge your accounts on platforms and apps you already use, so I love seeing it pop up organically on such an important platform 🌐🙏🏼

I think, I set up my own runner at Hetzner and connect it to my Codeberg repositories. Hopefully this makes the actions faster and removes some cycles from the Codeberg infra.

Speaking of JIT, we’re announcing ANOTHER new app — StikDebug — that enables true on-device JIT 🏎️

Yes, you heard that right! StikDebug can enable JIT for any app sideloaded with AltStore Classic completely on-device 🤯

Download StikDebug now in AltStore PAL from our Recommended Sources!

I think of a constitutional crisis as a very specific thing, only one of a number of ways the rule of law and democracy can collapse.

I think we get a constitutional crisis when we have a fracture that the constitutional framework can't correct, such as the executive branch refusing to obey or enforce the rulings of the judiciary. (We seem to be heading directly there).

But that's not essential for authoritarian rule (where we're also heading).

current status: putting a few weird terminal facts that I do not have any practical use for into the terminal zine

(mostly I’m keeping it extremely practical but I think it's fun to have SOME weird stuff)

What a fun trip! Glad to be back in the UK for a long weekend to decompress though.

There's going to be more folks hitting the streets this Saturday, april 19 -- more "hands off" rallies

Here's a list of some of where they're happening on Newsweek: https://www.newsweek.com/anti-trump-protest-locations-list-map-april-19-50501-2059609

And here's a database you can drill down by zip code, by the group co-ordinating them, 50501: https://www.fiftyfifty.one/events

Some info about 50501 btw, including its commitment to nonviolence: https://www.fiftyfifty.one/values

I'm gonna be at the NYC event! The last hands-off one was incredibly fun

If you could only share one piece of practical howto-type information about the #fediverse with the general non-techy public, what would it be?

Want to save disk space and streamline log management on your FreeBSD system? Our latest post shows you how to use ZFS’s built-in compression for system logs—no more manual unzipping or redundant compression!

• Enable ZFS compression for /var/log
• Adjust newsyslog settings for seamless integration
• Use smarter log rotation naming
• Measure your space savings (up to 40x!)

Bonus: We’ve included an Ansible playbook to automate it all!

I’ve lost count of the number of events I’ve been to where the hosts talk about their conference, summit or convention as a community. Well, a community stands up — and speaks up — for its members. And it doesn’t put them at unconscionable risk.

That piece of writing I was talking about finishing that I was equally proud of and scared to post because I love it? Here it is.

I am starting a new project, it is A Newsletter, and it is About Tech, but it is a very different tech newsletter.

Happy Birthday AltStore PAL!! 🎉🎂

PAL launched 1 year ago today, so to celebrate we’re bringing back a Classic… AltStore Classic!

Download AltStore Classic in AltStore PAL to sideload 100s of “non-notarized” apps, including some favorites that use JIT like DolphiniOS 🐬
