24歳の元AKBメンバーが話題に…「日韓のファンがザワついた」SAY MY NAMEを日本人が注目すべき“3つの理由”
bunshun.jp/articles/-/85740?de
かつてK-POPを聴いていて、ここ数年離れていた“元K-POPリスナー”にも刺さるかもしれない。どんどん“洋楽化”する今の流れとは少し違う、独自の路線を歩んでいるのがSAY MY NAMEなのだ。キャッチーで口ずさみたくなる楽曲の強さ。

Friendica 2026.01 released

news @news@forum.friendi.ca

We are very happy to announce the availability of the new stable release of Friendica “Blutwurz” 2026.01. In addition to several improvements and new features, this release contains fixes for security problems that Hrizi Bilel has notified us about. Thanks for your report! It also contains the first results of a accessibility review by Casey Kreer.

Some highlight of Friendica 2026.01 are

  • we overhauled the embedding of media from various sources and improved several aspects,
  • users can now sort widgets and channels,
  • the performance of system and user defined channels has improved,
  • admins can now export and import contact block lists and block access for non-logged in visitors to media included in posting.

If you have developed your own addons for Friendica note that we reworked our hook system and introduced a new AddonHelper class.

For details, please the CHANGELOG file in the repository.

What is Friendica


Friendica is a decentralised communications platform, you can use to host your own social media server that integrates with independent social networking platforms (like the Fediverse or Diaspora*) but also some commercial ones like Tumblr and BlueSky.

How to Update

Updating from old Friendica versions


If you are updating from an older version than the 2024.12 release, please first update your Friendica instance to that version .

Pre-Update Procedures


Ensure that the last backup of your Friendica installation was done recently.

Using Git


Updating from the git repositories should only involve a pull from the Friendica core repository and addons repository, regardless of the branch (stable or develop) you are using. Remember to update the dependencies with composer as well. So, assuming that you are on the stable branch, the commands to update your installation to the 2026.01 release would be
cd friendica
git pull
bin/composer.phar run install:prod
cd addon
git pull
If you want to use a different branch than the stable one, you need to fetch and checkout the branch before your perform the git pull.

Pulling in the dependencies with composer will show some deprecation warning, we will be working on that in the upcoming release.

Using the Archive Files


If you had downloaded the source files in an archive file (tar.gz) please download the current version of the archive from friendica-full-2026.01.tar.gz (sha256) and friendica-addons 2026.01.tar.gz (sha256)) and unpack it on your local computer.

As many files got deleted or moved around, please upload the unpacked files to a new directory on your server (say friendica_new) and copy over your existing configuration (config/local.config.php and config/addon.config.php) and .htaccess files. Afterwards rename your current Friendica directory (e.g. friendica) to friendica_old and friendica_new to friendica.

The files of the dependencies are included in the archive (make sure you are using the friendica-full-2026.01 archive), so you don’t have to worry about them.

Post Update Tasks


The database update should be applied automatically, but sometimes it gets stuck. If you encounter this, please initiate the DB update manually from the command line by running the script
bin/console dbstructure update
from the base of your Friendica installation. If the output contains any error message, please let us know using the channels mentioned below.

Please note, that some of the changes to the database structure will take some time to be applied, depending on the size of your Friendica database this update might run for days.

If you are using the daemon for your background worker, note that we have moved the functionality into the console. Adopt your setup to use the new bin/console daemon command.

Known Issues


At the time of writing this, none with 2026.01

How to Contribute


If you want to contribute to the project, you don’t need to have coding experience. There are a number of tasks listed in the issue tracker with the label “Junior Jobs” we think are good for new contributors. But you are by no means limited to these – if you find a solution to a problem (even a new one) please make a pull request at github or let us know in the development forum.

Contribution to Friendica is also not limited to coding. Any contribution to the documentation, the translation or advertisement materials is welcome or reporting a problem. You don’t need to deal with Git(Hub) or Transifex if you don’t like to. Just get in touch with us and we will get the materials to the appropriate places.

Thanks everyone who helped making this release possible, and especially to all the new contributors to Friendica, and have fun!

If you’re a @phanpy fan using an iPhone or iPad, and you’re in the EU or Japan (where @altstore PAL is available), good news 👀

I’ve made a native iOS build that you can install right now through AltStore PAL! It's called... iPhanpy.

It’s still Phanpy at its core, just without the usual iOS PWA headaches. It feels smoother, stays longer in memory, and even comes with a neat Liquid Glass app icon.

If you have AltStore PAL installed, you can copy the link below and add it as a source inside AltStore:

raw.githubusercontent.com/matf

And if you don't have access to AltStore PAL, no worries: it's gonna be available on the App Store soon!

Screenshot of iOS recent apps, with "¡Phanpy" being the first card

iPhanpy is now available on the App Store too!

I wrote a blog post detailing what it is and why you might like it.

And if you want to just go ahead and download it, here's the App Store link: apps.apple.com/app/iphanpy-for

Yes, it's possible for Fediverse apps like Fedilab to support end-to-end encrypted DMs. We plan to write a FEP where actors expose their public keys in their profile. Each app would manage encryption locally while servers act as relays. The security model is the same as Signal: private keys stay on the device, servers only see encrypted data.

最近覺得難過的時候,就聽何韻詩的歌,然後就哭得更慘。其實不是她的歌悲傷,是那個語言已經變成了象徵。
香港人通常都是開心、不和現實脫節的,所以講到底悲傷的情緒其實是台灣人的。所以聖誕節他們在見山書房唱《今天應該很高興》的時候,所有的人都蠻開心的,大家都覺得運氣好好,可以再見到他們合體在公開場合獻唱。
可是我沒辦法不想起二年前在見山的音樂會,我在地球的另一端看 YouTube 直播,警察去抄證件,停了快一小時候她開始唱《親愛的黑色》那幕。

對了,有人知道那個勇敢地在公共場合唱英文版的《榮光》的吉他手最後怎麼了嗎?

fellow programmers. I plead with you, today, my case that better tooling is possible

if only we would be willing to acknowledge that sometimes things require a little human intervention and should not be 100% automated, and that the old ways may need to be abandoned — not just bandaided over

thank you for your consideration,
- A frustrated UX programmer with nowhere near enough time for all of this mess

아틀라스가 공장 들어오는 날, 한국사회는 준비돼 있나 www.khan.co.kr/article/2026... "김병권 소장은 “오늘은 현대차 공장에서 생긴 문제지만 내일은 여의도 사무실, 모레는 문화·예술공간에서 벌어질 일일지 모른다. 정부가 AI로 인한 노동 현장의 피해를 어떻게 막고, 어떻게 보호할지 액션을 취해야 할 상황이다. 러다이트 얘기까지 꺼내면서 노동자들을 시대의 흐름을 거스르는 존재로 몰아가는 것은 이후의 AI 시대를 위해서도 바람직하지 않다”고 했다."

SECOND HAND COMPUTER IS OUT!

SHC is a sort of vibes-based programmable designed to mimic my own experiences getting a second-hand computer too crappy to run graphical games.

Inside Second Hand Computer you will find a pile of random text games I've made, from the very simple (Hangman and 2048) to the gimicky (Wargames) to larger original projects such as Swords of Freeport and BOOTLEG.

You can even code your own games for it in Lua.

I had thought about this, but I am not sure how to handle paid RSVP. Monetization matters. We can consider attaching external link, but, I think it is not complete solution

These are ideal and fit into my mental model.

https://event-us.kr/ (korean), https://connpass.com/ (japanese)

But I don't know how to complete implement paid RSVP for fediverse. That's bottleneck

AffinityをWineで動かすのはわりと面倒だけど、Affinity InstallerはWineとAffinityを1つのAppImageにパッケージングして配布している。起動すると日本語が化けるけど、`Affinity-3.0.2-x86_64.AppImage --winecfg`でWineの設定を起動して、メニューバーのフォントを日本語フォントに変更すれば、あとは普通に使える
