I really wish emergency services would stop relying solely on xtwitter and bookface for sharing important information and incident updates. At least provide a public feed via rss or even just an accessible web site.

@joeo10 They do here in Oz. Even have Android and iOS apps that are quite effective.

That’s going to be dependent on the client. Most will hide it unless configured otherwise. But a lot of clients do allow you to view all the message headers in which case it’ll be seen if the recipient views them.

@spacenerdmo @mario

See the wiki page I linked 🙂

For Emacs/mu4e, mutt and Thunderbird, there are subsections "Displaying the header".

in reply to Debacle

I don't see any use case here. I attach my JID as signature. Why should I add it as header when it is nowhere shown. IMHO it does not belong there



It may be damp but not letting that stop us from exploring Snoqualmie Falls.

All email clients should show the full address of the "sender" as it would make scams like this much more obvious.

in reply to Rusty Hodge [SomaFM]

Oddly, web browsers have the opposite problem for the same reason. They /hide/ parts of the address to better secure against phishing.

As much as I hate how they have been hiding the URL more and more over the years, it is probably good that they are calling attention to the important DNS name and hiding away the dangerous noise at the end.

#Forgejo v7.0 was just released! Get it at https://forgejo.org/download/. 🚀

Forgejo v7.0 is available with translations in Bulgarian, Esperanto, Filipino and Slovenian; SourceHut builds integration; support for the SHA-256 hash function in Git; source code search by default and more. It also is the first Long Term Support version. The adoption of semantic versioning is the reason for the version bump from v1.21 to v7.0 and is compatible with existing tools. ✨

@cb I ran my old sets of servers Fujitsu Siemens 470’s and HP DL 140 G3’s on FC4 through to F22. I use Armbian on BananaPi M3’s these days.
in reply to Fedora Project (F40 is OUT)

Hey, all...anything being done to address that weird pipewire audio bug when upgrading from 39 to 40 where no output device is detected for audio?

Still running 39 on my main workstation, upgraded my laptop (guinea pig hehe) to 40, and ran into the no audio output devices bug. Deleting the pipewire stuff in the .local folder doesn't seem to be persistant after a reboot...anyone else experiencing this? Other than that, loving F40...



I finally got around to trying out #slidge (https://sr.ht/~nicoco/slidge/) on my #xmpp server to connect up a few of those other chat services and I gotta say I'm really impressed.

Time to get going with the Fedora Linux 40 beta. Let's see what goodness this brings and what tweaks I want to make with my setup.

Is it weird that I'm thinking of carving out a day or two off work just to have for myself to hack on code?

Friendica 2024.03 released


Content warning: We are very happy to announce the availability of the new stable release of Friendica “Yellow Archangel” 2024.03. In addition to several improvements and new features, this release contains several fixes for security issues reported by snajafov, arcanican

in reply to Wilhelm

@Wilhelm the posting has a summary, which is an AP field that is mis-used as CW by some. And TBH mis-labeled IMO in the Friendica UI; but yes the effect is expected.
in reply to Tobias

This seems to be discussed in https://github.com/friendica/friendica/pull/14019#issuecomment-2015127342 and I fully agree with the following statement:

"The ActivityPub protocol is completely hidden from end-users so I don't think it's relevant to use the protocol terminology in a user-facing form. I think we should stick to the main use for this field. Even if it's called differently in other platforms than Mastodon, if it is still displayed as content warning on those platforms, we should call it "content warning"."


Personally I never felt the need to give a summary of the post I am about to send. This can easily be done in the post itself. The current usage in friendica is very confusing and I think it should be changed to match how users actually use the field. So +1 for changing that naming to Content Warning.

Besides that, I am not a fan of having to "Click to open/close" to get to the actual post. I think the idea of a post summary is not how real world usage of the Fediverse works. It complicates the usage and is not what I would expect as behavior. In case of the release notes, first I see a "Content Warning" but then depending on your interpretation, that content warning is misused when compared with the majority of the Fediverse. And in order to get to the actual release notes I need engage manually which is annoying.

One of the first things people ask you when you say you’re writing a book for O’Reilly Media is: “What animal is going to be on the cover?” O’Reilly books are famous for their lovely animal drawings, in rich detail, either in black-or-white or colour. Books are sometimes referred to by their cover animal, like the famous Camel Book by Larry Wall and Randal Schwartz.

As an author, you don’t get to choose the animal on the cover. This is a fiercely-guarded prerogative of the O’Reilly Media design department. Authors and editors can make suggestions, but there’s no guarantee they’ll be followed.

Today, I got the design for the cover of the ActivityPub book I’m writing. I have to admit, I haven’t been thinking about it too much, so it was a surprise to see it, and I wasn’t really emotionally prepared. All I can say is that I’m overwhelmed and I absolutely love it.

The bird on the cover is a Nanday Conure, a South American parakeet. They are extremely intelligent; in captivity they can talk, and are prized as pets. The birds live in central South America. They breed and raise their young in separate, private nesting holes, but when breeding season is over they join into large roosts with many, many birds, connecting their small family units into a bigger flock network.

I couldn’t think of a better description of what ActivityPub is and does.

We’re going to be pushing two new chapters — Activity Streams 2.0 and ActivityPub federation protocol — to the Early Release program this week. (The early release version still has the baby bird on the cover.) If you want to read the ActivityPub book today, that’s the place to look.

Some of you know today as π-day.

But the real insiders know that today is the 30th anniversary of the 1.0 release of Linux.



Looking forward to the nice weather this weekend. Might go out and do a bit of troll hunting.


I did a crazy thing and changed my username on public code repositories. If you've cloned any of my current active projects be sure to update the URL accordingly. (https://codeberg.org/spacenerdmo)


I see the new #Signal app has landed on my phone. I'm happy they are starting to do things better by hiding your phone number and letting you share a username. But I wonder if it'll be enough to increase my use of the app. 🤔
