I read through the whole list, and monero was the only decent privacy recomendation I could find. Everything else was US-hosted. A lot of it was just recommendations from Apple and Google on “privacy” services they offer.

No mention of syncthing, matrix, xmpp, even with sections dedicated to those categories.

I increased the size of a postgres DB column, and it grinded every query on the table to a halt. Turns out we needed to run analyze on the column.

• https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4983
• https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5148

I opened up an issue on the postgres issue tracker because I’ve never seen anything like this before, and I’m sure we’re not the only one to run into this production-breaking migration.

No probs! Sry this one took so long. Major props to @nutomic@lemmy.ml for finding the bug that was the main blocker, and @phiresky@lemmy.world for suggesting the fix.

Yes, I believe all the messages are in plain text, and it’s up to the server not to log it.

It is possible to e2ee the message content yourself tho.

Edit: it looks like ntfy.sh specifically keeps messages cached in memory for a few hours befor discarding them. https://docs.ntfy.sh/config/

I opened up a bug in postgres for it, because I’m sure we’re not the only ones to run into this.

Full account migration isn’t possible, as that would require rewriting fediverse history.

Redditors can’t help themselves but be racist against russians.

Theodore T’so especially:

first comment:

The question of why a particular country has decided to sanction Russia and not Ukraine, and why a country has decided to support one country versus another, whether it’s Germany, France, and Poland sending tanks and armored vehicles to Ukraine, or North Korea sending artillary shells to Russia, is not up to the Linux development commuity.

next comment:

Sanctions are imposed by Governments — for example, the US, European, Japan, Switzerland, Norway, etc. Not Linux developers, nor Russian troll farms, nor Russia’s useful idiots on the internet. It’s not up to anyone on this mail thread.

Damn there are a surprising number of maintainers that are comrades and not taking this lying down from the western supremacist cohort.

Linus opened up a massive can of worms and turned this into a geopolitical conflict by acting like a baby.

This comment by Hantong Chen is great:

Hi James,

Here’s what Linus has said, and it’s more than just “sanction.”

Moreover, we have to remove any maintainers who come from the following countries or regions, as they are listed in Countries of Particular Concern and are subject to impending sanctions:

• Burma, People’s Republic of China, Cuba, Eritrea, Iran, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
• Algeria, Azerbaijan, the Central African Republic, Comoros, and Vietnam.

For People’s Republic of China, there are about 500 entities that are on the U.S. OFAC SDN / non-SDN lists, especially HUAWEI, which is one of the most active employers from versions 5.16 through 6.1, according to statistics. This is unacceptable, and we must take immediate action to address it, with the same reason.

What an extremely dangerous place to domicile such an important project.

Stuxnet is just the beginning. Who knows how many hidden programs they’re running and building, how many certs and VPNs are compromised, what encryption algos they’ve cracked, what platforms they have full and instant access to, what critical infrastructure they’ve rigged to blow, just waiting for a go code…

We won’t know for 20 years at least.

Another great one is “larry thorne”, aka Lauri Törni, a finnish nazi (buried with the highest honors in USA’s Arlington cemetary btw) who fought against communists and lost 3 times (twice against the USSR, then took an L in Vietnam).

This wiki sidebar sure is one

I can’t stress how much the western supremacists are off the rails on this one: agreeing with the standard sanctions policy commonly used by the US, of punishing entire civilian populations based on the actions of their government, regardless of how you feel about that government and its actions.

Code is code, the nationality of the person shouldn’t be used to exclude them. ppl know how most of us here feel about Israel but I would never even think of excluding an Israeli contributor to any of the projects I work on.

Wild, tchaikovsky was even a reactionary too lol.

I shouldn’t be playing shostakovich so loud on piano my neighbors might inform on me 😂

Absolutely, but that was intolerable to the US, which is why they coup’ed its government in 2014 and installed a puppet one.

And never ask why the US has over 800 external military bases, while all other countries combined have less than 20.

Please report those comments so we can remove them too plz.

I’ve been following a lot of these, and unfortunately nearly all of them are dead.

• YouAmp - Alive, jetpack compose + material v3, but very early in development. Barely any features. Probably our best hope for the future of these.
• Tempo - The best current option, but dead for ~6 months. Has a few bugs, but lots of features. Java, not kotlin, but appears to be material 3.
• Ultrasonic - Great option, lots of features, but dead for ~a year.
• Dsub - Dead for 2 years, but revived now with a few bug fixes via this one. Doesn’t have much of a future, not being jetpack compose / m3.
• Subtunes - Dead for 2+ years.
