@vadergb @Recta_Pete Very nice! Have you got one of the new #PenultimatePlus2 carts in order from @futurewas8bit yet? Totally essential if you ask me if you have a #VIC20

Russia has occupied ZNPP nuclear plant in Ukraine since March 2022. Putin has threatened to blow up ZNPP and unleash environmental devastation on Ukraine, and appears to be on track to follow through. He had given a deadline for Russian citizens to evacuate the area by July 5 and about 100 of them appear to have done so. About 6000 people are trapped in the area around ZNPP nuclear plant and are not being allowed to leave. https://kyivindependent.com/mayor-part-of-russian-rosatoms-personnel-leaves-occupied-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-plant/

By 2024, the USB-C port will be mandatory for all portable electronic devices in the EU.

This means that you will soon be able to recharge most of your devices with the same charger, making piling up bundles of cables a thing of the past.

Not only will this make your life easier, but it will also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and e-waste.

Learn more about the common charger here: https://europa.eu/!hwjj3G

Happy birthday to the 19" equipment rack, which turns 100 next month. From the July, 1923, Bell Systems Technical Journal: "All panels are to be of a uniform length, designed to mount on vertical supports spaced 19>< inches between centers. The height of the different panels will vary, according to the amount of apparatus in each unit, but this vertical dimension is in all cases to be a whole multiple of 1-3/4 inches."(p139 at https://archive.org/details/bstj2-3-112/page/n27/mode/2up )

Sometimes hubris leaves receipts.

@mastodonmigration i did not attend the meeting, did not sign a NDA and i do not get 'financial support' from Meta or any related company..

I put quite some work in to pay for it all

Subject: What's going on with Meta?

To: @Gargron, @ruud, @jerry, @supernovae, @stux, @trumpet, @kev and other large instance admins

Rumors are tearing this place apart out here about secret deals with #Meta. The latest is that Meta has held #NDA meetings with some of you and they will federate with large instances under contracts providing financial support (1) (2).

This is a time for leadership, not silence. Please, what's going on?

"With Meta joining the Fediverse, instance administrators will need to abide by Meta's content policies, or risk being defederated"

When it comes to open source, most of Big Tech isn't actually like 90s-era Microsoft. Most of it is more akin to what Oracle CEO Larry Ellison says here:

If an open source product gets good enough, we'll simply take it. Take [the web server software] Apache: once Apache got better than our own web server, we threw it away and took Apache. So the great thing about open source is nobody owns it - a company like Oracle is free to take it for nothing, include it in our products and charge for support, and that's what we'll do.

So it is not disruptive at all - you have to find places to add value. Once open source gets good enough, competing with it would be insane. Keep in mind it's not that good in most places yet. We're a big supporter of Linux. At some point we may embed Linux in all of our products and provide support.

Even Putin won't be able to blame the rebellion on outside forces, but Fox is already blaming it on Biden.

Since I keep seeing developers use ‘pretty’ IP addresses like ’1.2.3.4’ in example configurations; a reminder that you MUST NOT use publicly routable addresses that you do not control in your code.

Instead, use one of the available 'TEST-NET' IPv4 or IPv6 ranges documented in RFC 6890;

192.0.2.0/24
198.51.100.0/24
203.0.113.0/24

❌ 1.2.3.4
✅ 192.0.2.4

and for IPv6;

✅ 2001:db8::/32

Pass it on to all of your fellow developers, documentation writers, and so forth.

Full RFC for special purpose addresses;

@cstross This could potentially move very, very fast.

Twitter has suspended every single API key not belonging to a Twitter Blue subscriber.

Every. Single. Key. 9to5Mac’s? Dead. Apple’s for iMessage previews? Dead.

Every single API key has been revoked. The Twitter API is officially dead.

Open Letter to #Meta...

Hello Meta,

It has become known you are reaching out to members of our community to hold secret meetings (1), thereby roping them into a conspiracy of silence. This is not how we do things. This is an open social media network. If you have something to say, create an account and post it to all of us.

Asking you to stop this divisive tactic, and release everyone from any and all legal covenants pertaining to #P92 and the #Fediverse.
