THE FINE ART AMERICA LOGO WILL NOT SHOW ON PURCHASED PRINTS OR PRODUCTS. [From Wikipedia] The Coccinellidae are a family of small beetles, ranging from 0.8 to 18 mm (0.0315 to 0.708 inches). They are commonly yellow, orange, or red with small black spots on their wing covers, with black legs, heads and antennae. Such color patterns vary greatly, however; for example, a minority of species, such as Vibidia duodecimguttata, a twelve-spotted species, have whitish spots on a brown background. Coccinellids are found worldwide, with over 6,000 species described.

Autumn Row / Landscape Art by Lisa S Baker. A row of vibrant autumn trees stands against a dark, starry sky. The trees display brilliant shades of orange and red, adding warmth to the night. Splashes of light in the sky resemble distant stars, enhancing the dreamy atmosphere.

Fediverse Report 132 - this week's #fediverse news

- Next Sosyal is a new social media platform with close ties to the Turkish ruling party, that is based on Mastodon but does not federate
- A shuffle in the places, forums and sites to talk about #activitypub, with new owners for forum SocialHub, the activitypub.rocks website now managed by the W3C SocialCG, and the new activitypub.space forum

A capture of some floating bubbles or froth in a crystal clear salt water rock pool at the beach. It was pretty the way the sunlight shone through the water creating sunlit patterns on the rocks and sand.

Sadly they're not on the #fediverse - I wish more underground bands would prefer our "underground" social network to the usual mainstream big tech networks. However, I guess it's all about reach, even in an underground scene.

Electricity can produce Magnetic effect. Magnetism can produce Electricity. That's what Electromagnetism is, but Marvel Villains Electro & Magneto have never used each other's powers. I think this is because the general public is unaware of Electromagnetism.

#codeberg and #forgejo to #Github is just like #Fediverse to #Facebook or #Twitter. Real communities, where real people interact, share and discuss, not really caring about "reach", likes and how many followers, but places where we are far more interested in p2p in the real sense. People to People. Not People feeding Machines.

Sure, it's a comparably smaller group, but only when you compare it to what it doesn't aim to replace. I like it here, because it's different :)

Question for those of you who are #selfhosting your #fediverse/ #activitypub instance with a very small number of users (max 5, let’s say): how many other instances are you federated with?

No reason, I’m just curious.

FYI my little #gotosocial instance that hosts @logistics
(with ~150 followers at present) is federated to ~6,500 other instances after 2 months online.

Please boost for visibility.

Autumn Reflections / Landscape Art by Lisa S Baker. The serene landscape showcases vibrant autumn foliage with a single tree standing boldly by the water's edge. Its reflection in the still water is beautifully mirrored alongside lush grasses and evergreen trees. The composition captures the peaceful essence of a quiet, fall afternoon.

Apparently there are now #LLM bots on the #fediverse. If anyone starts trying to indulge conversation by asking a bunch of questions....chances are they are an LLM. They all seem to have the same basic conversation structure. Actual humans engage by statements.

Fediverse is peppered with #cringy, delusional, self-hating twitposting. Some people's feeds read like a suicide letter demanding everyone else to commit suicide with them. Some twitfeeds exude the vibes of an assassin's hit list. Some twitfeeds smell like authoritarian extermination orders. Their toxic feeds should come with a Mister Yuk sticker.

Twitposter feeds run devoid of brotherly love and full of animosity towards things they don't understand. These twitposters seek to blame and punish innocent people for their perceived slights or suffering rather than helping others through their own suffering.

Twitposters try to classify and demonize others instead of viewing others as individual humans with their own individual destinies.

With this collectivist hateview of others, they concoct a delusional view of reality that justifies any oppression or atrocity toward the 'enemy' they have concocted, and often that enemy is the self.

Why on earth was the #ActivityPub protocol even let out the door without a well-specified and mandatory graceful, non-destructive key rotation scheme?

Yes I know the privacy issues. Those are not valid reasons to not have such a mechanism; it's a valid reason to not enable or use one.

What we're stuck with now is a ton of instances with absurdly long, legacy-algorithm keys (RSA-4096) with no way to replace them with shorter/better keys without effectively losing everything ever posted on the instance.

The protocol is only 7 years old! EC crypto was well-established at the time, and should have been the default.

And what happens once everyone has to replace the keys, because RSA is broken by quantum computers (I know, probably 100 years to go)? The #Fediverse will be a wasteland, with no instances trusting anything from any other instance, so all #Federation breaks down.

Sorry if I got some details wrong about what the protocol says. If I get flamed to death for being wrong, then I'll consider that a Good Thing(TM). I've been trying to find a way to rotate/replace keys for a while and all my searching turns up is either 1) confirmation that most people don't know or care about cryptography, or 2) https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/key-rotation-notification/562 - which really isn't helpful.

If it is possible to gracefully rotate the key(s) of an instance/user, there really has to exist some documentation that explains clearly how to implement this in a server and how to exercise it as a server operator.

grobi presents the protest song "Sabotage Is Sex" by Ministry feat. Jello Biafra. He rides through time and space sitting the wrong way around on his horse and has a bolt cutter ready, while his friend, the horse, is already wearing a gas mask, because you never know for sure... like two scouts "always ready to help" with open eyes, hearts and cheerful cheers, they have backup from "Graviti's Grin" or flippantly called the "Cheshire Cat Galaxy Group" grobi also wears glasses with "Gravity Lenses" made of "Dark Matter", with which he sees through the enemies of freedom and humanity. © folks who #resist

@octade @infostorm @usenet@a.gup.pe @usenet@lemmy.ml this sounds great, do your usenet server federates with the rest of usenet? if so I will paste it around to a tons of people that uses #usenet and #fediverse if is not federated with the rest of usenet then is not that great for us.

This is cool.

It is a Fediverse server you can use with a newsreader client like Thunderbird.
