OK So I'm interested to find out what all those cool folk running at home as servers are using hardware wise. Don't worry there is nothing to be ashamed of here as I'm really excited and interested to hear from folk recycling equipment. What CPU, RAM do you have? Also do you have a separate boot and data disks ? How big are they and are they raid or not? How many services are you running on that hardware? :openbsd:

Our daughter is currently studying on the Netherlands, she is getting an education degree from an international teaching school but she finds the town and school a bit too small, and wants to go back to the US. We'd like her to stay in the EU, but funding school information on the internet is painful. Anyone have any idea on English speaking universities in the EU with strong science and education degrees? @quixoticgeek , @jonJon Worth @bert_hubertbert hubert 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦

Are there any software projects that people would be willing to pay a small weekly or monthly contribution to support me while I develop it? I need a way to feed my family, and I don't like asking for handouts.

Please respond with ideas of things you'd like to see exist, that you'd maybe be willing to contribute an ongoing nonzero amount towards, and boost for reach. If you don't have idea of your own, that's fine. Boosting will still help!

@LonelinessCorps

I'll add here something I just mentioned in the non-public thread leading up to this:

Safety and security are going to be paramount for something like this. So if folks have suggestions on possible ways to ensure that, please share! The last thing I'd want to do is create something that isn't safe to use.

~ Lesbian life on Reddit ~

I’ll see whats happening in /r/latebloominglesbians

*Reads

“I’ve been single my whole life and just turned 18…”

“I broke up last year and feel like I’m running out of time! How do you find someone as a 22 year old?”

“Just learned I’m a leabian at 20 and now feel like I’m destined to be alone.”

*throws phone across the room.

Mastodon could become that. But, it would need to add some new features.

Mastodon has "editable posts". Which is great.

But Mastodon doesn't give you a "choice of home-feed algorithm" yet. Currently, Mastodon only support reverse-chron as its home-feed algorithm. (I.e., what some inaccurately call "no algorithm".)

And, Mastodon doesn't yet given users the "ability to moderate replies" to their posts.

@reiver@reiver ⊼ (Charles) :batman: @ezeno789ekZepp_Pf we do have the ability to moderate replies built into ActivityPub, though.

Every object has a `replies` collection that is owned and managed by the creator of the object. If you don't want someone's reply to appear in the list of replies, you can remove it.

Mastodon does not surface this feature. It also doesn't show the `replies` collection remotely. That's too bad; it would cover most of what people want from replies management.

folks, let's say I want to configure a CI build (perhaps a Github action) that uses the *MINIMUM* version of Python and dependencies specified in a pyproject.toml file for the test. I.E. to ensure that features not present in those versions aren't used in new code added to a library.

Is there already an easy way to do this?

I am getting reports that Mitra and #Friendica don't federate anymore.

There is a recent issue that seems to be about this problem: https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/15262. Apparently the breakage was caused by some change in our @context. The fix was merged in November, but it has not yet been included in a stable release.

RE: stranger.social/@lednaBM/11571

It's weird how every time someone runs a UBI or GBI test like this, it always turns out positive. Like, I *never* see headlines saying "UBI Trial in Bumfucksburg, West Idaho Fails to Achieve Goals".

They always work, never fail.

It's almost like they're a good idea and we should move past the "trial" stage, hmm? 🤔

If you do not have jobs for juniors,

you won't have seniors for the jobs you need them for.

The use of llm-driven tools to eliminate junior-level jobs means you will not have senior-level candidates for the roles you need them for.

No llm is capable of the systemic understanding of projects that a senior developer needs to have.

If you are using llm tools instead of juniors and interns, you are shooting yourself in the foot.
