Tootfinder

Soooo....I'm doing a thing...🤭😏
As a lot of you know, Tooters shut down recently and the way it was handled in the end is regrettable.
However, I felt for longest time while it was up, that it was consistently one of the BEST run instances on Fedi with how they protected their users from some of the insanity that happens here.
That being said, with Tooters being gone, it leaves a bit of a hole in my Fedi heart and I know a lot of others as well.
So, I'm creating a new, very limited for now, politically-light (as little politics as possible locally), AI friendly (AI art welcome), Sharkey instance for some folks within my circle that I've grown to consider my friends.
The Social Zone is meant to be a place to escape the very political society we currently all live in and just be social with one another about our hobbies, interests, and day to day lives.
I'm still working out all the details but when I launch it, it's going to be invite only because I'm new to something like this and I want to get it right. Especially because those I will invite are people that are close to me and I don't want to disappoint them.
Depending on how things go for the next few months, including if I can even get this thing started correctly, I MIGHT be open to allowing more members in, down the line.
But, this is just getting started. I registered the domain yesterday and just started researching Sharkey today and how hard it would be to spin something up. Then, of course, there's configuration settings and administration with Sharkey that I have to familiarize myself with.
All in all, I'm very nervous, but excited that I decided to take this next step in my Fedi adventure and hope to eventually "give back" to the entire community, the same positive energy that you've all given me over the past wonderful year of being on this amazing platform.
Please do not ask for invites. I will not be handing them out anytime soon. I've already asked about 5 of you along with some IRL folks and I feel I would like some time to get this right for them first.
Thanks for reading. I hope you understand why I'm choosing to do this and hope you're as excited as me to see where things can go and understand why I feel it's important to have these types of "politically-light" spaces so people can escape such topics from time to time.
Keep on keeping on, Fedi. The future is bright and I'm ready to learn along with you. More info about TheSocial.Zone coming soon!
Your friend,
B.A.

FINALLY! I finished the blog post about my #hiking adventure in the #mountains last year. It took me so long to write it because I am more emotionally connected to this tour than to many others.
Well - I hope you enjoy the read!

A Journey to New Heights: Hiking the Uncharted Summit
Join me on a wonderful mountain adventure with an early start to beat the heat, exploring the solitude of nature. Enjoy with me this fulfilling hike, capturing breathtaking vistas and concluding with a little thrill near the end.

I would hope so.

During the great solar storm of 2003, I sat outside in my back garden watching the #aurora. I missed it yesterday but sat out again this evening in the hope of repeating the experience. Sadly no #Nordlys in Copenhagen but I can report the garden has a wonderful scent and is so peaceful at this time of year, which was basically just as good...

Hope it sends a message because I'm sure there are many more out there with #obscured license plates.
How many vehicles were not seized? How many vehicles belonged to cops and if they were seized. So many questions. Such feel good yet shallow reporting.

MTA seizes 63 vehicles of toll violators who owe combined $1.5M
According to the MTA, they have recovered over 90% of tolls owed under the DMV Registration Suspension program.

You guys know I'm not at all religious, but I still love this Barsotti cartoon w/ all my heart--it's one of my all-time faves. I hope the universe will let me reunite with my doggos in one way or another. I just hope we all get to be together again someday. #DogsOfMastodon

"Grief is the ultimate interruption of the normalization of mass death and mass murder because in grief, we acknowledge the value of life as we do in no other scenario. We grieve because we love life, because we love those we have lost. We love the living. We know the value of humanity. That is what our grief means to us. And so we retake our humanity, we reclaim public space, and we reclaim this day from a genocidal administration with our grief and with our love, and with our refusal to allow those who are dying to go unacknowledged. We hold this space for them. We say their names. We honor them because they are part of us and we are part of them. And so long as they are dying, there is no justice for any of us. And so there shall be no peace for those who lead us.
I know that many of us are grieving a great deal in these times, and that our grief can at times feel all-consuming. Grief can cause us to shut down, retreat, or turn inward, but I want to remind us that there is power in grief. Because grief refuses the normalization of violence and loss. Our grief is a rejection of dehumanization. By grieving, we are refusing to devalue the lives of those we have lost, and we are refusing to become less human ourselves. We are refusing to sacrifice the parts of ourselves that are soft and permeable enough to facilitate human connection and mutual recognition. In our grief, there is hope for humanity, because in our grief, love and decency persist in the face of atrocity.
I urge you to make space for your grief and to nurture its power. As Rasha Abdulhadi teaches us, “If our hearts break, let them break outward into action."

Busy days, so I couldn’t watch the #AppleEvent, just quickly read some articles. I will try to watch it at the weekend.

Not watching the Apple Event because I want adult people to summarize it for me post-factum rather than having my synapses burnt by boring marketing show...

H5N1 is at a bunch of dairy farms, and there’s documented cow-human transmission. But is there very limited or nonexistent human to human transmission? How is this virus not already everywhere?
Maybe it incapacitates cats too quickly to effectively spread via them? RIP cats.

H5N1 now confirmed in 11 US farms. Cats die within 48 hours.

Followup on `tokio-tar`. As expected, nothing happened so far.
Apparently there is also a `tokio-tar-up2date` crate which is exactly the same thing as `tokio-tar` right now. Probably it was created as a temporary hack while `tokio-tar` was unresponsive.
Then, there is a `krata-tokio-tar` crate that's more recent. However, this one really seems like fork of a fork that was created for the same of some specific project and still without any hope of long-term maintenance. I've refiled my pull request there as well.
I've also filed a bug for #UV, since using dead dependencies is not a good practice.

Good morning #Fediverse
How are we all doing on this great Wednesday so far? Let's talk about our plans for the day and what we all hope to accomplish.
For me, it's just the usual work stuff but with no meetings today, so that makes the day better in most cases.
The wife and I will be playing Fortnite with friends tonight and maybe even try and catch up on some…

The other day a friend came to the door (here in NYC) collecting signatures. She told me about how she'd been hit by a car on a street that had very briefly been closed to cars as an open street (fuck you Portofino's, I hope you go out of business for getting that open street shut down.) It fucked her leg all up; after surgery she's been having to do lots of physical therapy. She was still limping.
DOTs consider this a minor injury, barely worth working about.

PRO TIP: If you are sending cold marketing emails to people who are almost as excited about deleting them as they are about not getting them in the first place, make sure you remember to actually state •what the hell you’re asking for•.
Yes, I can infer what they mean — DO NOT explain in my replies — but the vagueness of this email still cracks me up. Their head is so far up the butt of their employer they’ve forgotten that “having a story live” is in-job jargon, meaningless to their r…

Apropos of the CyberTruck crash image, I hope one of the features Apple adds in the next iOS is AI image/text detection. They already detect text and subjects so should be a prime candidate to do on-device.

I have #LongCOVID, so my body is fucked. It feels like it is slowly dying on me. But the deepest damage the ongoing pandemic has done to me personally, is that it has made me lose my last shred of hope in humanity. The decrease in solidarity and the increase in ableism that i experienced, either because it was directed towards myself or because i observed it all around, in society at large, has sent me into complete despair.
The social contract has been broken, when the weakest no longer get protected. Which opens up the path for fascism to spread. And neither the radical leftists nor the feminists, who usually write solidarity, antifascism, yadda yadda onto their flags, seem to make the connection.
Never before have i felt so lonely, so utterly desperate. There is not one chance in hell that we can tackle the even bigger issues, like the climate crisis, inequality or migration, when we have failed to mobilize in order to combat the organized abandonment and slow murder that has been unleashed during this pandemic against our chronically ill and disabled siblings.
The radical leftist project has failed.
Capitalism and fascism have won.
But way too few even notice this.

Every time I read the comments in Israeli press in Hebrew I hope that what I read there is just a noisy minority. But I doubt so.

The Stillness the Dance

I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dance.

The best effect eMTBs have had on me (as a non-eBiker):
The reactions I get when I ride up steep sections.
Like on Saturday on a section that was so steep that the front wheel almost came up and a family came past on the way down.
Those reactions HAVE changed. (and I don't think it's because I've gotten older - I hope). 😄

This song breaks my heart with its longing, hope and despair. Beautiful and devastating. A happily ever after that’s just out of reach.
It's not a secret I try to hide
You know you want me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
And fate is pulling you miles away
And out of a reach from me
But you're hearing my heart
So who can stop me if I decide it's on my destiny?

Returning to the classroom twice a week after three semesters off, I am finding lecturing so taxing that I can’t really hope or expect to accomplish anything else on those two days, not even email. I just come home and crash.

Personal, work search
In the end, I've managed to send a single CV yesterday. For a shitty job that's both below my qualifications and that's underpaid. I really do hope they don't reply, because if they wanted me, I'd probably agree just to have *any* job. Then I'd hate it, but I'd keep working until my health goes so bad that I wouldn't be able to work at all. Again.

ukpol rwanda
Tonight the MPs will debate and vote upon a law to send refugees to Rwanda. Not people who they claim aren't refugees. Just actual refugees.
They sold it as "for processing there" initially, but in fact it's just send them there never to return.
At a cost of over a million pounds per refugee.
Since the courts found that Rwanda might not be safe, the law they will debate declares that it is in fact safe. Even if a civil war breaks out tomorrow, even if a volcano turns the whole country into a lava-floor, it'll still be legally safe according to our MPs.
They seem to think that the Parliament is some kind of supreme body able to define and enforce the nature of truth, rather than being just one of many institutions of state which are set up to compete with checks and balances in order to prevent tyranny.
I can't think of a more obvious demonstration that the house has lots it's wits entirely and has become crazed with power.
They think they can legislate truth, and should have no legal restraints upon them.
You'd hope an election soon will remove them, but the opposition, Labour, are fine with it, so long as it doesn't include our military collaborators. They have an amendment saying it's fine to send everyone I guess, except not those who collaborated with our military.
What a broken country. We need to disband Westminster, really, it's become corrupt beyond redemption.

https://www.theredhandfiles.com/not-a-question-at-all/

Nick Cave - The Red Hand Files - Issue #270 - Not a question at all. On Sat the 30 December my beautiful 16yo son Murray took his own life. He was contacted online by what he believed was a girl he knew. He was extorted and then panicked, hanging himself. He was a wonderful guy who drew beautifully, played guitar and was a straight A student. He was private person and hated being the centre of attention. His world would have crashed around him at the thought of sexual pictures with his peer group. Our hearts are broken, literally agony. The song we have chosen for the reflection piece at his funeral on Friday in the Cathedral is Distant Sky. In that space it should sound magnificent. I certainly hope so. In writing this it helps to feel the reality of where we are as a family. We will keep going but fuck me it’s hard.

Late-April Solitude: A Solo Alpine Journey
In the quiet majesty of a late-April solo hike, the mountain landscape revealed a subtle beauty in transition. The snow-covered peaks, the muted hues of transitioning grass, and the dance of light and shadow became a testament to the unfiltered allure of nature awakening from its winter slumber.

Won't be long till the next one though. The only reason we don't get more is that nobody really cares about us in this tiny place.
Some work will need to be done. Hope we can avoid blocking everyone but allow-lists.

Recently I've added a cheap hack to the standard #Gentoo invocation for #PyTest to throw errors if unhandled async functions are detected. The goal was to increase our chances of finding packages with missing dependency on dev-python/pytest-asyncio (or another equivalent plugin), or packages disabling plugin autoloading and failing to load such a plugin.
Today, I've gotten a first bug report, regarding dev-python/ipython. I've grepped the sources and confirmed that the package depends on PyTest-AsyncIO, except that it pins to < 0.22. Well, we don't have one that old but let's hope it works anyway. So I've tried adding the dep, `-p asyncio`… and PyTest still apparently couldn't find the plugin. I've scratched my head and tried `PYTEST_PLUGINS` instead — still the same result. What the…?
So I've checked the git repository out, tried with older PyTest-AsyncIO, and indeed the tests worked. Tried with the newest, 0.23.6, and the same issue occurred. I've checked the git history and discovered that the version pin was added because of a buggy 0.22.0 release. However, the issue has been fixed since, the release was yanked and my problem was nothing like that.
So I've investigated more. For some reason, #IPython test suite does not mark tests with `pytest.mark.asyncio` marker directly. Instead, it globally iterates over all test functions, and implicitly adds the marker to all coroutines. This used to work with older versions, but does not work anymore — the test is correctly marked, but for some reason it stops being recognized as a coroutine. So I've made a minimal reproducer and filed a bug.
The key point here is: the (potential) bug went unnoticed for a while now, because of the premature, then obsolete pin in IPython.

For those of you who have been here for a long time, through all the drama and bullshit, just to continue fighting and advocating for this wonderful open platform, THANK YOU.
To those of you who have been through the bullshit, couldn't handle it, and decided to leave, I understand. This place is difficult because we don't have a centralized "Code of Conduct" that isn't run by biased people.
If you've interacted with me before and are no longer a part of Fedi, I know you won't read this, but I MISS YOU, LOVE YOU, AND WISH THE BEST FOR YOU.
I hope someday we can make this place safe for everyone, so nobody feels unsafe or fed up with the absolute madness that this place stirs up sometimes.

My new #garmin edge 350 #cycling computer looks good so far. It was an excellent deal from Amazon refurbed. The mount for the handle bar also looks cool.
I hope I can do a "drive test" tomorrow!

Looks like there is a wave of spam bots coming from friendsyu.me as I've been hit by about 10 different accounts so far.
I've reported them all and blocked them as well. I hope everyone else will do the same.

Hm good question. I *guess* it's all gold leaf (I hope that's the right english term). So it'll be very very thin.
Actually .. given the amount of security there, it can't be a lot of solid gold 😄

Good morning and happy Sunday to the #Fediverse
How's your day going so far? Tell me what you've accomplished or what you hope to accomplish.
For me, I'm starting the day off my usual S'mores flavored iced coffee and just going to rest and relax. Yesterday was a very lazy day and I hope to do more of the same today.

Good morning to all of you here within the #Fediverse
How are we all doing this morning? Tell me about your day, what you've accomplished, what you hope to accomplish.
For me, it's just the usual work stuff as always. I have a meeting at 12pm EST, but again, it's a decent meeting so nothing too boring or anything.
After that, it'll just be a relaxing day…

Anyone playing No Rest For The Wicked yet by chance?
It's from the same studio that made both of the Ori games which were absolutely amazing games.
I bought the game yesterday as it came out in Early Access and hope to dive into it later today.
If you're playing it, what are your thoughts so far?
