Mudança no Mastodon:
Agora ao passar o mouse sobre uma mídia você não vai ver a descrição dela, caso exista.
Isso só acontece ao clicar no botão "ALT". Gargron lançou essa atualização hoje na versão de testes:
" title="
"/> github.com/mastodon/mastodon/p…
Ela atende a um issue que dizia que colocar a descrição "alt" também como "title" no código HTML acabava por atrapalhar a visibilidade da mídia, pois a descrição ficava por cima dela.

Ai cantieri navali di Palermo, vi è la pietra d'inciampo dedicata a Liborio Baldanza, nato a Geraci Siculo nel 1899, successivamente trasferito a Palermo con la famiglia dove frequentò le scuole.
A 15 anni iniziò a lavorare nei locali dei cantieri navali di Palermo e successivamente si trasferì prima a Milano e poi a Sesto San Giovanni.
Antifascista e partigiano, venne arrestato il 14 marzo 1944 e, 3 giorni dopo, fu inviato a Mauthausen e successivamente trasferito a Gusen, Schwechat, Hinterbrühl.
Fu ucciso il 3 aprile 1945 durante la "marcia della morte" da Hinterbrühl a Mauthausen.
Nel 1974 il comune di Sesto San Giovanni gli ha conferito una medaglia d'oro.

Frontend & Friends - A meetup across frameworks #2
After the first event in June, we continue with the second episode of this event series: Frontend & Friends is a series of events where we invite speakersMeetup
I'm learning #Proxmox #cluster with #Ceph by virtualizing it on my Proxmox Mini PC. Total inception mode 😀, but for learning purposes. The setup was relatively easy, and it worked very well.
- Manually migrate an LXC container from one node to another with only 10 seconds of downtime.
- Power off a node, and automatically migrate the LXC running on it to another node with one minute and 10 seconds of downtime.
I’m surprised by the last number. Any advice will be welcome.
I made more progress on my investigation. My previous tests were conducted with an LXC. I found, LXC migration needed to be restarted, which caused longer downtime
I attempted to live migrate a VM with the same setup. The downtime was zero! Yes, you read that correctly!
After a dirty shutdown of a node, migrating the same VM takes 2:35. This duration is longer than that of the LXC, but the VM is heavier than an LXC
Last week, we participated in the @univention Summit, where leaders discussed #digitalsovereignty —a cause close to our mission.
💡 Collaboration was key, with Dirk Schrödter and Dr. Dornheim highlighting its role in securing Europe’s independence.
📢 Prof. Kipker stressed the risks of relying on foreign platforms.
We were glad to join @openproject in showcasing an open-source alternative to Jira/Confluence. Together, we’re building tools that protect user autonomy.

Just learned of Ackee, an open source, self-hosted website analytics solution
On one hand, it would be kinda interesting to see how my sites are doing, where traffic comes from and what devices are used to visit them
On the other hand, it's still tracking and it rubs people the wrong way
What do you think?

#Guix survey found that 70% of users deploy it as a graphical #desktop #linux
Be interesting to consider packaging and testing priorities at #guixdays given this figure
About a third are #server deployments, on hardware, but also #vm #kvm - interesting!
The ability to use #guix for #docker or #singularity deployments and #CI were all mentioned. Maybe potential for further development?
#Using #guix in #cloud or #containers with #orchestration (e.g. #k8s ) doesn't seem widespread yet.
Streamer.bot is a great tool for streamers on the big platforms like Twitch and YouTube (I use it myself!), but it lacks official support for open source platforms like #Owncast and it would be great to see this added.
That's why I've submitted a suggestion for it on their ideas page, and it would great if you could vote as well! It's only got a single lonely vote which I'm pretty sure is mine for suggesting it. 😅

Claro, aqui está uma descrição de texto alternativo para a imagem:
A imagem é uma ilustração de desenho que satiriza o abuso de poder. Ela apresenta três cenas distintas. Na primeira, uma pequena figura atira com uma funda em direção a um homem de terno carregando sacos de dinheiro, com a frase "Nosso objetivo é voltado para aqueles que abusam do seu poder". A segunda cena mostra um rei sentado em seu trono, sendo puxado por um bobo da corte. A terceira cena apresenta texto explicando que, através da sátira e do ridículo, os cartunistas editoriais expõem a corrupção e os erros cometidos por nossos representantes e instituições.
