Day 2 on Mastodon:

I don’t fully understand the Fediverse yet, but everyone seems super nice and no one's tried to sell me crypto, so that’s already an improvement over most of the internet. 🔐😅

So, if you like birds, bees, gardens, my quirky art, or quiet backyard moments… we’ll probably get along just fine. 🌿🐦🐝🎨

Hope you're all having a wonderful day ✌🏻

미국 정부는 일단 로비를 못하게 해야하는데 여러번 시도해도 잘안되긴하더라 몇몇 의원들이 바꾸려고 해도 대부분 맛이 가서 통과를 안시켜줌 ㅋㅋㅋ ㅎㅎ;; 이것도 그렇고 주식거래 못하게 하는거라든지 내부적으로 노력해도 고인물들이 바꿀 생각이 전혀 없는것 같긴함 어떻게든 미국내 부패와 비효율만 제거되도 생각외로 도덕적인(?) 미국이 될수 있겠지만... 아마 내가 살아있는 시기에는 일어나기 어려울듯;;

I've been experimenting with Owncast recently (after having last tried it a couple of years ago), and it's *super* nice these days. The Fediverse integration is wonderful (it posts to its own "instance" whenever streams begin, and you can follow that if you'd like, and you can also authenticate to the chat with a Fediverse account). And the S3 object storage makes global streaming really efficient.

I'm actually live right now!

RE: indieweb.social/@laurenshof/11

This thread talks about going back to an users's home server to validate a user's content, because you can't trust that the event you got for it is unmodified.

But you can't trust what the home server tells you the content of the message is either! There's nothing stopping a home server from serving a modified version of your content every time it's requested, say, to inject ads into it, or censor bits it doesn't like.

Or to just completely fabricate new content from you.

Purge files off your pc. You won't regret it. I cleaned up 38 gb just now by going in and deleting shit I don't need and shit that doesn't get removed by the uninstaller. I can't even imagine what other useless crap is on there that I don't even need. Have you uninstalled something recently? Go to the search bar in file explorer and check everything that could possibly have anything to do with it and just go to town. Even if you have no reason to, it is incredibly satisfying. Just remove shit.

Hiya! Anyone in the SF Bay Area/Remote need a cool programmer for your team? I've been messing with computers for over 30 years now, I can program anything with bits, and I've got a lot of experience with all sorts of different systems, environments, and languages.
I've done mostly CI/CD/devops/SRE stuff recently, but I also do embedded software, some hardware, primary development, tooling, etc.

tl;dr I'm looking for an attorney (California), urgently, to help deal with an unpleasant company.

Longer context: once upon a time I was a customer of a hosting company called Slicehost. But as you may know, they were acquired by Rackspace, and eventually merged fully into Rackspace's hosting offering. I reacted to this by gradually migrating things off Rackspace and to other hosts. The last thing left was a site I helped run for a community I was a member of.

Rackspace gave me headaches and runarounds trying to close out the account once I no longer needed it, so I used their account-transfer process to give ownership of the account to someone else who was stepping up to run that community site. That was completed in 2018.

Apparently, Rackspace kept that account open all these years, and that whole time was taking a few bucks a month from the new account owner for the privilege of having an account (nothing was hosted on it anymore, that I'm aware of). Until, apparently, late last year when he stopped paying. I have no current contact information for him.

I only know this because Rackspace has been sending *me* emails about their problems trying to get money out of him. I've gone multiple rounds now with their customer service trying to get them to leave me alone. This week I thought I had succeeded because they told me the account finally closed, and they also told me, on the phone, that I don't owe them anything as they acknowledge it's not my account and hasn't been my account since 2018.

But in the last 48-ish hours:

* I've discovered they were still putting my name and an old mailing address on the invoices they were sending
* I've been told by a different support person that I am somehow a "billing contact" for the account despite all the other support people telling me I have no responsibility
* I received an email (this morning) from Rackspace claiming to be a "Final Demand Letter" and threatening the use of a collection agency

Self-serve resolution by trying to interact with their people has failed. I am now actively looking for an attorney who can help me resolve this swiftly and efficiently. Recommendations for what *kind* of attorney, and for anyone you might have worked with and liked in the past, are welcome but also understandably time-sensitive.

Germany doesn't have "copyright". We have "Urheberrecht" (literally translated "Originator's Right" or "Creator's Right", but usually translated as "Author's Right").

there's no word "moon" in japanese. instead, japanese people say "tsuki", which translates to "moon", and i think that's beautiful

OpenAI가 어떻게 돈을 벌고 잃는지 잘 설명해준 글타래. 돈을 많이 벌긴하는데 쓰는돈이 여전히 너무 많음. 계산 비용이 거의 절반이고 인건비는 사실 생각외로 낮음 sales and marketing 왜 이렇게 크고 revenue sharing은 또 무엇인가... 궁금하지만 나중에 찾아봐야...

So I'm 1600$ away from being able to pay my rent. I'm trying to take care of a household of 6 people, only two of who can work right now, and with my longterm illness (I was bedridden for 16 months) I'm just not able to make rent this month, as a bunch of unexpected costs hit right in a row.

If you've can donate any amount at all, it'd really help. Thanks so much.
