soc.octade.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
@ghul @jti42 @pkal @landley precisely!
Besides: All those big corpos contributing don't do so out of kindness either, but because none of them want to cough up way more money for a #CCSS alternative like Wind River #VxWorks, #Oracle #Solaris or god forbid #IBM #zArchitecture #Mainframes!
What a busy and impactful year we had!

Telehack is a simulation of a stylized arpanet/usenet, circa 1985-1990. It is a full multi-user simulation, including 26,600+ simulated hosts from the early net, thousands of files from the era, a collection ofadventure and IF games, a working BASIC interpreter with a library of programs to run, simulated historical users..

I've had this book in PDF format for a few years, and I'd forgotten about it.
I stumbled across it again while browsing https://telehack.com/
A very interesting read!
If you're into the internet of the '80s and '90s, I highly recommend checking out #Telehack. It's pretty wild!

DOI suffixes may include several approved special characters, but they should never end with one.
End-of-string punctuation often prevents correct resolution. This month's ticket explains what characters are allowed and how to construct stable DOI suffixes. https://tinyurl.com/3ydap2kh

10 years ago or so.. people liked and shared. And TWITTER was great for that! Everyone had visibility.
Now people like only for the majority. So its equal of no sharing..
They affraid.. but of what?
Or maybe it's still a navel story..
Because if you share, people will share you. Simple!
Let’s re-educate ourselves!

Three years ago today, we opened the doors to our corner of the Fediverse. 💙
What started as an idea has grown into a friendly space for good conversations, smart humor, and authentic interactions. It’s been amazing watching this community grow with all of you.
Thank you to everyone who’s shared, posted, and made Vivaldi Social part of their online space. You’ve helped shape this community into what it is today.
Here’s to everyone who’s been part of it, and to all the new voices we’ll meet along the way.
Happy 3rd birthday, Vivaldi Social! 🎉

@onepict Many types of Nazi's - which relates to what you said - though it may not seem directly related but:
Many don't like / want to do things humanly, including human contact as community #admin, as #community member, #academic ETC !
Just write / read #text only as a type of inhumane way ? even if you don't call yourself a #Nazi,
"Yeah I don't do chats!"
Human emotions, feelings - nope not for the many even though they need themselves to have it and even complain when leaders don't have it
So for extreme Nazi's sure but the slightly lower down even for open signups - the answer is to chat to ALL of them eventually which a community should be doing anyway and can do among themselves...
community safety 101 is not as simple as barring people or blocking... years of #FreeSchool shows that even the well-to-do people can't see they are #fascist / #inhuman / binary #Tech people / not doing their human #responsibility / how the #irony abounds and how much time they #waste on other #hashtags rather than sounding like a desperate person like me knowing how we get to any extreme - through silent and #tacit-accepting people, not just just racist or dominating people - people just rolling over and paying #money left #right and centre for any types of leaders / fascist to do the dirty work for us instead of us getting better at it and keeping control a bit more...
Outsource / palm off.... not good
even the good people / charity types.
Happy to see if you reply as this can seem negative or against you or something - it's not... but people have to start the ball rolling and even #DIY do it yourself...
Imagine if you were admin and came across my account asking you to talk while not having to give you my name or credit card details in the name of preserving what little we have left... many would treat it as suspicious rather than consider 'oh that's clever' when they come to rounding up more people or even educate how existing things work when something finally works and they go to shut it down...
Happy to talk more... it's not just the Nazi's - it's also what we're all not doing (imagine Mastodon as the software EMPTY of people actually doing #regular social ! )
Great software.
Poor / unskilled population. 🔨

Make #Fediverse more personal and chat more often
Really care about people (not just Linux or software or just hating #Trump or #Elon!)
Keep actively messaging to reply and value people's content or existence to keep in touch or just show you're #listening.
We can't follow people always so #Interact and keep in touch that way!

Discussions of AI often lead me into a Derridean space – one in which I step back and examine the privilege of the subject. Unsurprisingly, humans privilege humans. Go figure. Hubris has this effect. As I am wont to do, I wrote about it.

#SNAP benefits may expire on November 1 due to the federal government shutdown; USDA has told states to stop sending benefit data. If the shutdown continues, benefits might not be disbursed, and some states suggest recipients visit #foodbanks. Contact your local #food bank for ways you can help.
In her new blog, Hilary Carter, SVP of LF Research, dives into how open collaboration is transforming financial services.
Based on the 2025 State of Open Source in Financial Services report, she explains why open source is now a core driver of innovation and trust.

#Deaths reached a peak in 2025 for the first time since 32 deaths were recorded in 2004, & 20 deaths were recorded in 2005.
Fmr agency officials are warning that increased #detention population, decreased #oversight, an increase in street & #community arrests & continued difficulties staffing #medical teams will result in more deaths. This summer, #ICE received ~$70 billion to hire more staff, including #deportation & detention officers, & increase its detention space.
#Linux #community hasn't been the most dynamic for #onboarding others or making it easier (coming from #Windows it's a high bar)
BUT these things have helped more visibly / consistently:
➡️ dual booting (via #usb)
➡️ #dualbooting (#live booting / no install)
➡️ Tutorials and individuals
Any other things have helped most?
What other things have helped more than #DualBoot and individual #help online?

🗨️ My comment ➡️ We also need people to listen. To accept the person's imperfections (since we all have that inescapably). To point out what we think after or along the way nicely, because right now it CAN'T say things at the job or in close circle so easily when wearing different hats / costumes / contracts.
Just #listening is a big tool and respect back into life and good practice.
To be heard / respect others in non-mainstream 'system' or workplace - because those places don't care about you / others to any high level.

Thanks for the opportunity to talk about my work on OpenJDK on FreeBSD, and to everyone for making it an enjoyable experience. Hope to see you all next time!
I'm at the Liberal Gun Club annual meeting near Pittsburgh, PA this weekend. (Yes, liberals own guns too.) A lot of folks have driven days to get here. Nice to finally meet some folks in person who I've only spoken with online.
Couple days of classes and hanging out. Going to be a good weekend.
Hope you all have a fun weekend and get to meet some new folks as well. Stay strong.
