I just got back to Berlin tonight after being at Green IO, a conference in Paris in its third year, that is dedicated to the fields of digital sustainability and Green IT.

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:

テキサスのムスリムコミュニティを弾丸防弾チョッキを着用し子ブタを抱えて歩き、ムスリム住民に「お前らがコミュニティを毒している」と吐き捨てる排外主義者の群れ。

極右排外主義者の醜悪さと愚劣っぷりは、何処も同じ。某衰退国でも薄寒い情景がしばしば見られます。

I spent some time experimenting with pekwm and evilwm on my Slackware system, mostly out of curiosity.

Both are lightweight X11 window managers with very different philosophies:

• evilwm: extreme minimalism, very small codebase, written in C
• pekwm: still lightweight, but feature-rich (menus, grouping/tabs, rules), written in C++

I did a very simple, informal check of memory usage (RSS via ps) in a clean startx session: no compositor, no panel, one terminal. On my setup, both ended up in roughly the same memory range (a few MB).

At that scale, shared X11 libraries dominate anyway, so small differences aren’t very meaningful.

What mattered more to me was the trade-off:

• evilwm requires much more customization to reach basic comfort
• pekwm provides significantly more usability with essentially the same resource footprint

Conclusion (for me): pekwm hits a better balance between minimalism and usability.
evilwm is interesting as a learning exercise, but not worth the extra friction for daily use.

This isn’t a benchmark, just personal experimentation and preference.

Schedule for Social Web Developer Room at FOSDEM 2026

Evan Prodromou @evanprodromou@socialwebfoundation.org

The schedule for the Social Web Developer Room at FOSDEM 2026 is starting to be populated as the speakers confirm their availability. We had a tonne of great submissions for this year's track, and even with double the time from last year, we still had to leave some great talks on the cutting room floor. But we still managed to fit in 24 great talks, large and small. We're going to see some additional events happening as FOSDEM 2026 gets nearer. Watch the #SOCIALWEBFOSDEM hashtag for more news […]

What have either of these people done that would warrant attention? They are not experts in anything. They don't know anything in particular, have no particular skills, have not accomplished anything of particular note. They're just young women willing to say what old rich white men want to hear.

"Ye elves of hills, brooks, standing lakes and groves,
And ye that on the sands with printless foot
Do chase the ebbing Neptune and do fly him
When he comes back;"

The sunset is picking out detail in the flanks of the mountain and its cap of cloud. Tufts of withering grass scattered across the black dunes are made golden by the low light.

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've just seen an absolutely disgusting article. I said "seen", not "read", because I'm blind and I could not read it.
for your reference, here's the first beautiful sentence of this article:
"ffGE ARrj XRejm XAj bZgui cB R EXZgl, Rmi mjji jrjg-DmygjREDmI XgRDmDmI iRXR XZ DlkgZrj."
I don't know the technology behind this BS, but screen readers see it as scrambled text, kind of encrypted or something like this. I guess it's some font juggling (ChatGPT supposed it's gliph scrambling, where random Unicode values are mapped to random letters — I'll trust her in this because I really don't care about the tech behind it), but if you have a tiny little grain of empathy, never ever ever do this, for goodness sake.

Tiny Mastodon Tip About Globalisation 🌍 :mastodon:

On Mastodon, there isn't an algorithm to restrict your reach to your own country or region when you post.

Additionally, many people post in English, even when it's not their native language.

If you post a comment or question
that is related to a specific region of the world, please specify which one, and don't assume people worldwide will know this acronym or reference.

You will have a better chance to
get the answers you seek, and more boosts from people living in different regions of the world.

Also consider adding a hashtag relevant to the country or region you are posting about.

Keep in mind the Fediverse is global! 🌏🌍🌎✨

“Rural America knows the truth long before the rest of the country feels it. Nothing collapses all at once. It just stops working in small places first while everyone else calls it local hardship. That’s why wood banks—like a food bank but for fuel—are important. They’re the clearest sign that basic systems in this country have already failed.”

newrepublic.com/article/204051

Firewood Banks Aren’t Inspiring. They’re a Sign of Collapse.

Rural communities are banding together to chop firewood so that people in need can heat their homes. This shouldn’t be necessary.
