Nový typ svazku, takzvané partnerství, uzavřelo loni přes sedmnáct set stejnopohlavních párů. Institut partnerství nahradil starší registrované partnerství. To se těšilo několikanásobně menšímu zájmu – mezi lety 2016 a 2024 do něj každoročně vstoupilo jen přibližně 300 až 400 párů, sdělil České televizi mluvčí ministerstva vnitra Ondřej Krátoška.

O nový typ partnerství je výrazně vyšší zájem než o to registrované

Nový typ svazku, takzvané partnerství, uzavřelo loni přes sedmnáct set stejnopohlavních párů. Institut partnerství nahradil starší registrované partnerství, které se těšilo několikanásobně menšímu zájmu – mezi lety 2016 a 2024 do něj každoročně vstoupilo jen přibližně 300 až 400 párů, sdělil České televizi mluvčí ministerstva vnitra Ondřej Krátoška. Ve srovnání se starším typem svazku nyní získávají partneři širší práva v oblastech společného jmění, dědictví, vdoveckých nebo vdovských důchodů, ale také třeba při osvojení dětí.

Oh this is wonderful news:

DNS-PERSIST-01: A New Model for DNS-based Challenge Validation
letsencrypt.org/2026/02/18/dns

> Instead of publishing a new challenge record for each issuance, you publish a standing authorization in the form of a TXT record that identifies both the CA and the specific ACME account you authorize to issue for this domain.

DNS-PERSIST-01: A New Model for DNS-based Challenge Validation

When you request a certificate from Let’s Encrypt, our servers validate that you control the hostnames in that certificate using ACME challenges. For subscribers who need wildcard certificates or who prefer not to expose infrastructure to the public Internet, the DNS-01 challenge type has long been the only choice. DNS-01 works well. It is widely supported and battle-tested, but it comes with operational costs: DNS propagation delays, recurring DNS updates at renewal time, and automation that often requires distributing DNS credentials throughout your infrastructure.

@zenkat @soatokSoatok Dreamseeker like I was saying. Open your eyes, everyone. Look around you. This is how it is, here in the richest country in the world. One of our largest American exports is blood money, and I mean that very much literally. Not an exaggeration, it’s not hyperbole, it’s a fact. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ameri

Middle-class Americans are selling their plasma to make ends meet

Last year, people in the U.S. made an estimated $4.7 billion selling their plasma. Donation centers are popping up in middle-class neighborhoods, including suburban strip malls and college towns.

Not at all! I love @FediTips, I boost their posts and send links to their work often. Our Help Centre is specifically geared towards Mastodon.social users, and the guide is intended as a quick primer to help people get up to speed on our cultural norms.

When it comes to getting the word out about the , and educating people about how to have a good time here, I generally take the attitude more better!

Yeah, to make clear, Hannah has been great at responding to queries and listening patiently to criticism! I think that comes through in this thread for example?

And yes it's good to have more than one source of tech support. I encourage people to do their own support sites and/or use my text as a basis if they want to as it's available under CC-By-SA. I don't want to end up as a single point of failure on a site encouraging decentralisation 🙂

Having amazing colleagues means someone brings up a random animal fact. Then another one continues with a 2nd. And at the end of the coffee break you have 3 fun random animal facts, and a French royalty fact (for the person who didn't have animal ones) that make you smile for the end of the day 😁

I have paying work for a graphic designer with experience in web design and corporate identity (logos, letterhead, marketing collateral, etc.).

Don't worry about having to code on the web design front—that's my job. I just need someone who can work with a coder. I'm in the US, so it's probably best if you're in North America too. But I'm open to working with people elsewhere.

Figured I would throw this out to the fediverse to see if any of you out there do this kind of work. If you do, send me your contact information and portfolio by DM, or by email to info@roguerepairman.com.

Boosts welcome :boost_requested:

Question for Emacs wizards. I found a strange thing which I could not understand after reading the documentation (gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/) and even after reading the startup files, shipped with my Emacs 30.2.

If I use the -q option — Emacs will add site-lisp directories to the load-path. But with -Q option — there are no site-lisp catalogs in the load-path. Why is this happens? :drgn_confused:

Note: the option --no-site-lisp is not used in the both examples. So, as I understood after reading the gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/, even with --no-site-file (or -Q) the site-lisp catalogs should be added to the load-path in the both cases :drgn_confused:

Xterm window divided in two panes. On the one pane there is emacs -Q --batch --eval "(print load-path)" command which prints list of catalogs from /usr/local/share/emacs/30.2/lisp/*. On the second pane there is emacs -q --batch --eval "(print load-path)" command wich prints list of catalogs from /usr/local/share/emacs/30.2/lisp/* AND from /usr/local/share/emacs/30.2/site-lisp AND from /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp.

I was writing a blog post tangentially referencing the book "Weapons of Math Destruction" (which itself points to the unfair and sometimes deadly consequences of algorithms) when a friend shared the link below.

Leaked data from Persona (identity verification) only corroborates the awful extension from the premise of Weapons of Math Destruction and the recycling of bad practices from a decade ago...

From the post:

"The blog [from the security researcher] claims that 2,456 source files expose 269 verification checks offered to government customers, including checks for whether a face looks “suspicious,” and two parallel systems for politically exposed persons (PEPs)."

I wonder what is being used to check whether a face looks suspicious? It's not an AI system that is based on data that inherently discriminates against marginalized people, right? ... Right?

The identity verification company used by ChatGPT and other major services accidentally exposed its government-authorized platform, which is capable of extensive surveillance.

"This is a milestone year for America. It marks both the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the 100th anniversary of an effort to recover and recount the contributions of Black Americans left out of the national narrative—what was launched in 1926 as Negro History Week and then became Black History Month in 1976.

One anniversary honors the nation’s founding ideals; the other reckons with its failures to live up to them."

Black History Month Is Radical Now

A nation that wants to forget its past must be reminded of all of it.

You voted for this slogan and now it's here! We have a new batch of super nice t-shirts (they're 100% organic cotton with a thick, soft feel) with a cute screen printed design from @dopatwo. "My friends are not for sale"—because your connections to other people are more than a bargaining chip for big tech companies to keep you from leaving them.
