Fellow #RedHat ters in Berlin - @codeberg has just shared their #ansible config for the infrastructure. Read the README. And if you see sth, maybe offer your help? Would be much appreciated! Your EMEA Evangelist, who also is a paying member of codeberg. (they also use ceph ;) https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-Infrastructure/ansible-configuration

@kielkontrovers I said I don't use spam filters like SpamAssassin etc as the DKIM/DMARC/SPF and fail2ban setup already makes sure that most spam doesn't even make it to the mail queue :)

And the long awaited How To #SPF #DMARC #DKIM blog entry is now posted at https://jan.wildeboer.net/2022/09/Email-3-TheRest/ As always, replies to this too will show up as comment on my blog! Sorry, Twitter friends, #Mastodon only feature.

With solar, wind and batteries, combined with the understanding that a few hours of outage a day is not that big of a problem, we could create mostly free electricity for all in just a few years. This is real. Not a pipe dream.

Your refrigerator can easily handle 6 hours without power. A little UPS device will keep your DSL router running for hours, so your laptop will have internet. We can do this right now.

Why hunt for another 50 years of research for fusion energy when this big ball of fusion called the sun lights up our days? And we can convert it’s power to electricity since many years?

There is no I in #OpenSource. But there’s a we in #FreeSoftware :) Let go of ego. Focus on helping your neighbour. #PhilosophicalThought

@tim @codewiz That's too brutal ;) It would also block my laptop from getting emails as my ISP also "forgot" to set correct PTRs and hostnames. That's why I grep for "failed" and "reject" :)

You know what? You continuously try to brute force your way into my mail server, you ignore abuse@ e-mails. You get blocked completely.

Dear #W3C. Will you stand up and defend one of the core principles of the World Wide Web - stable URIs - or have you already given up long ago? https://www.ghacks.net/2022/07/17/facebook-has-started-to-encrypt-links-to-counter-privacy-improving-url-stripping/

Tomorrow is Ascension. Or Dads day in Germany. Where drunken dads walk around with their Bollerwagen celebrating themselves. I have to admit. I’m a bad dad as I never did that. Sorry, my children. I’ve always preferred to be there for you :)

Elon Musk wants to "authenticating all humans" on Twitter. Nope. Nope. Nope. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1518677066325053441?s=20&t=lR-4BE8oNy42ChEWcDru-A

Welcome to the return of the Robber Barons. Now let’s define who is which reincarnation. Is Peter Thiel the new James Fisk? Jeff Bezos the new John Jacob Astor? Elon Musk the new John D. Rockefeller? I smell a fantastic movie script of parallel worlds ;) https://www.britannica.com/topic/robber-baron

Small companies like http://masto.host and http://spacebear.ee offer you really affordable hosting of Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube instances. Be your own Elon Musk and as added bonus own your data in better ways :)

@tagomago @michel_slm Which is why I have embraced patience and stubbornness as my personal superpower ;) Compared to 20 years ago, many things have already changed towards the better side. This will continue. Temporary setbacks won’t change the direction we’re collectively taking.

@tagomago Yes. They take that into account. Also impact of rising inflation and possible drop in demand etc.

Modeling a full #embargo on #Russian gas for Germany, worst case scenario, with 5 industry sectors coming to a full stop over night, results in a reduction of GDP of around 3%. Tough, but manageable. We had a pandemic drop of 4% and are still here. Source: various research. 1/2

Correction: pandemic drop was 4.9%.

#Python creator Guido van Rossum puts it plain and simple. Asked about what role python could play in the #web3 world, he says

„Let web3 die in a flaming ball of fire.“
