It’s not Tuesday yet, but it will be soon.
And I want to thank @grunfink for creating and maintaining snac. Tomorrow I’ll talk about FediMeteo at DevConf, and it would never have come to be if it weren’t for snac and for the help the author gave me in fixing some things to optimize its use.

True Open Source, made with passion, by people who do things for the love of the things themselves.

WOW decentralized and ENCRYPTED social media over #chatmail this is such an epic prototype!

the fun part is that by using chatmail:

- DMs are already end-to-end encrypted
- your identity is your encryption key and doesn't depend on a single home server
- your profile is basically uncensorable

since you need to give people your invite link it is kind of like private social network

tl;dr Just a general update about me with 8 subjects for #FediBusyBodies... lol🤭

1) #PaulsYard and #PaulsGarden is coming along. As far as production goes, this year will probably be a bust. Fall planting and early 2027 spring planting will hopefully result in a very productive year next year. Still have some work to do, like irrigation, but it will come in the fall and winter. (If we save $$)

2/ Still haven't got the place feeling like "my space" after we had to clear most of the house out for the floor replacement.

3/ Penny is doing fine from her Widow maker heart attack. Still has limitations but she survived it and is making the best out of the limitations. August will be two years already. The #Fediverse helped me greatly to get through it. The time she was in the hospital I was never alone because of you folks and Hashtag game players.❤️

4/ My recent Spinal Baclofen Pump replacement surgery went smoothly, pain minimum, and no sign of infection a week in. My overall health is stable but there has been some progression in my Parkinson's plus, Multiple System Atrophy, but not at the speed that is average. My progression is way slower and they are trying to figure out why to see if they can replicate it for other people with it.

5/ Taking care remotely of an 85-year-old aunt is a hard thing to do and we are preparing for her now to move in here at some point. We are finishing the new room from #PaulsRoof into a suite for her. Two 180 miles round trips per week in the summer is taking its toll on me.

6/ #SissyCat still won't accept #MillieCat into the family and a few months in, we are at our wits end. Sissy's overall demeanor has change.

7/ Got my self-hosting home lab setup with some #FediFriends help. Got a lot of work to do still but I already migrated MS OneDrive and Google Drive over to it. So the degoogling will be done

8/ Knock on wood, but there seems to be a truce in effect in #PAulsRaccoonWar. For whatever reason, they walk on the edge of my property, but are getting into two neighbors home. I am thinking our place is not worth the aggravation.

That's about it.

Im aktuellen Wirtschafts-Talk Podcast der Welt wurde auf meine Analyse zur KI-Blase eingegangen und der Host forderte, ich solle doch einfach mal Fakten liefern.

Da die das nicht hinbekommen haben, habe ich hier 👉 https://www.metacheles.de/faktencheck-welt-wirtschafts-talk-mit-zschapitz-klockner/ ihre Argumentationsketten zerpflueckt.

Spannend dabei: Diese Woche bestaetigte die BIS aka die Zentralbank der Zentralbanken meine Thesen.

Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Freitag.

Wuerde mich freuen, wenn ihr dies boosten koenntet 🙏

I will make things clearer. #HolosSocial has no web version. It can display profiles with some messages (during the TTL for public messages). The server runs on your device, and https://holos.social is just a relay that remains account-agnostic, so your account has little dependency on it.
This is very important to understand before using Holos Social. It is very different from what you currently use on the #Fediverse.

Romanian is one of the Romance languages i haven’t studied that have always been difficult to decipher due to its Cyrillic-esque orthography.

am learning to read it with #Mastodon’s translation feature.

humans #network thru #languages. if you want to grow the #fediverse, you must make it easy to translate what dazzles yet cannot be easily read.

Two Boston Terriers sit on bar stools wearing party hats, with a bottle, two glasses, and cheese arranged on the table between them. Loose black linework, painterly brushwork, and the dogs serious expressions give the scene its humor.

Independence Day (colloquial: the Fourth of July) is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the Declaration of Independence of the United States on July 4, 1776. The Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies were no longer subject (and subordinate) to the monarch of Britain and were now united, free, and independent states.

whomever is attacking #Mastodon instances, is doing so to render the #fediverse network unusable

While using reposting bots was OK, it's nice that @TheOnion has officially joined the #Fediverse via Flipboard.

If there any gamers on the #Fediverse who want to join me in some team deathmatches on Gears 5 or E-Day when it comes out, just add me as a friend on Xbox and we can team up sometime

@moriel
Being genuinely decentralized is the power of the #fediverse. If no single instance gets large enough for the law of age verification to apply we will all be saved from this.
@GossiTheDog

@briankrebs @jerry

The absence of algorithms is probably helpful in situations like this. One more reason to move to the #Fediverse

“The thing is, when working on decentralized tech, I always believed it was important because we had serious risks from centralization, surveillance, etc from governments and corporations, potentially co-conspiring. But what I hadn't anticipated is that as things became more centralized, the will to fight for the internet as something in the public interest too would evaporate.

When I have conversations with family members and friends who haven't yet thought much about the age verification and similar bills and their consequences, they've said "well, someone has to hold corporations like Meta" responsible. To which I say, "but what about all the smaller, non-corporate parts of the internet?" To which, many people are surprised, because they've simply forgotten about those things.

When the internet and computing becomes five corporations to most people, they begin to treat it as the concerns of reigning in five corporations.“

@daj @82mhz @stefano

The arbitrary limits in #Mastodon are a little infuriating.

And I really want to like Mastodon. It was my first experience on the #fediverse, and I actually like the UI/UX, for the most part.

@stux

Stux, my love, the Fediverse has a freeloading problem that is going to have to be addressed. It's not sustainable.

It's time for *all* instances to start telling their members if they don't give at least $5 a month, their account will be suspended, and 30 days after that, it will be deleted.

There is nobody who can afford internet access that can't afford $5 a month.

(If someone is REALLY in bad shape they can apply for a *temporary* deferment from donating.)

🐧 Als plötzlich Schluss war...

Vor wenigen Tagen besuchte ich wieder einmal OpenOS.at – eine Webseite, die ich seit vielen Jahren immer wieder gern genutzt habe. Statt der gewohnten Startseite erschien jedoch nur noch ein kurzer Hinweis:

„Diese Webpräsenz wurde am 26. Juni 2026 (nach 12 Jahren Betrieb) eingestellt.“

Damit endet nach zwölf Jahren ein Projekt, das für viele Linux- und BSD-Interessierte eine feste Anlaufstelle war.

Das erste Bild zeigt die frühere Startseite von OpenOS.at – mit aktuellen Distributionen, Nachrichten, Statistiken und Veranstaltungen aus der Welt freier Betriebssysteme. Das zweite Bild zeigt, was heute davon übrig geblieben ist.

Warum OpenOS eingestellt wurde, wissen wir bisher nicht. Vielleicht gibt es persönliche Gründe, vielleicht fehlte die Zeit oder Unterstützung. Vielleicht fand sich einfach niemand, der das Projekt weiterführen wollte. Solange es keine offizielle Erklärung gibt, sollten wir darüber nicht spekulieren.

Mich bringt das jedoch zum Nachdenken.

Viele von uns nutzen täglich freie Software, Webseiten, Foren oder Dienste. Wir freuen uns über aktuelle Informationen, hilfreiche Programme und funktionierende Server – oft ganz selbstverständlich und kostenlos.

Doch hinter all dem stehen Menschen.

Menschen, die ihre Freizeit investieren. Menschen, die Server betreiben, Inhalte pflegen, Fehler beheben, Updates einspielen und Fragen beantworten. Oft über viele Jahre hinweg und meist ehrenamtlich.

Gerade Projekte, die von einer einzelnen Person oder einem kleinen Team getragen werden, leisten Erstaunliches. Gleichzeitig sind sie aber auch besonders verletzlich. Wenn die Motivation nachlässt, das Privatleben mehr Zeit fordert oder gesundheitliche Gründe dazukommen, kann selbst ein langjähriges Projekt plötzlich enden.

Vielleicht erinnert uns das Ende von OpenOS daran, dass Open Source und freie Communities vom Mitmachen leben.

Nicht nur nutzen.

Nicht nur konsumieren.

Sondern auch einmal Danke sagen, Fehler melden, Dokumentationen schreiben, anderen helfen, einen kleinen Betrag spenden oder selbst mit anpacken.

Denn genau davon lebt unsere Gemeinschaft.

Ich möchte mich deshalb heute bei allen bedanken, die im Hintergrund dafür sorgen, dass freie Projekte überhaupt existieren – egal ob Entwickler, Administratoren, Übersetzer, Autoren oder Community-Mitglieder.

Ihr macht das Internet ein Stück besser. ❤️
