ANNUNCIO!
Non è stato facile, ma anche quest'anno siamo riusciti a fare lo SCANLENDARIO, il nostro calendario di beneficenza.
L'amore per i videogiochi, messo al servizio della solidarietà (tutto il lavoro è stato donato, tutto il ricavato andrà ad associazioni di mutuo aiuto).

Una precisazione importante.
Le prime due edizioni dello Scanlendario hanno donato tutto il ricavato alle Brigate Volontarie per l'Emergenza, attive principalmente a Milano.
Non avevo tempo e modo di unirmi allǝ volontariǝ, quindi cercai di fare qualcosa di concreto per loro, insieme a @RetroBigini e @francescobc .
Giunti alla terza edizione, vogliamo estendere la portata, perché di solidarietà dal basso non c'è bisogno solo a Milano.
(segue)
Nell'ultimo mese abbiamo cercato realtà analoghe alle brigate, e ne abbiamo trovate svariate (anche con i consigli di LS).
Non abbiamo scritto nero su bianco a chi doneremo perché, semplicemente, non sappiamo esattamente quanto raccoglieremo, e vogliamo che le donazioni siano concrete, non simboliche.
Abbiamo un'idea, ma sarebbe molto brutto dire "doniamo a X realtà" e poi non avere a sufficienza per tutti.
(segue)
Visto che questo è un atto di solidarietà collettivo, saremo trasparentissimi e vi faremo sapere tutto il possibile al più presto.
Nel frattempo, grazie per la fiducia. ❤
@gabryesse Non siamo "noi", ma Overdrive Records, che è la realtà gentilissima che sta a sua volta donando del lavoro per "prestarci" la struttura logistica.
Credo che a loro, onestamente, non cambi niente.
Lo dirò anche ad altre persone, queste iniziative meritano troppo, ve se vole bene!
Ho cercato informazioni su wiki ma con scarsi risultati: è stato acquistato e reso "chiuso" anche il protocollo?
Ma ti riferisci a BitTorrent, Inc.? Credo che fondamentalmente abbiano in mano solo BitTorrent, cioè il popolare client (e pare che la stessa azienda sia pure quella di uTorrent? The more you know). Non voglio dire cazzate, ma penso che il protocollo sia sin troppo diffuso e popolare per essere chiuso. Non mi sorprenderebbe, però, scoprire che ci abbiano effettivamente provato.
La storia è un sacco complicata, e farsi un giro per Wikipedia (en) aiuta a schiarire le idee ma non troppo.
A quanto ho capito, Rainberry, Inc., la ex-BitTorrent Inc., fu fondata dallo stesso creatore di BitTorrent tanti secoli fa. Questa Inc ha inizialmente comprato uTorrent facendolo diventare nel tempo da un buon programma seppur proprietario, ad adware; ha creato il client "BitTorrent" che è uTorrent ma viola, e questo è.
La crypto la sento solo ora, curioso in effetti.
Comunque, il protocollo per ora resta aperto... semplicemente perché (a quanto so) non subisce aggiornamenti da un'eternità.

Ooh, they are on the Fediverse too!
Shout out to the other co-chair of the Social Web working group @tantek.com , and the co-chair of the Social Web incubator community group and contributor to several Social Web specs spec @aaronpk !
Everyone who directly contributed to #ActivityPub are listed in the acknowledgements of the standard: w3.org/TR/activitypub/#acknowl…
ActivityPub
The ActivityPub protocol is a decentralized social networking protocol based upon the [ActivityStreams] 2.0 data format.www.w3.org
@lightning Surveillance capitalists, you know, like Google, Meta, Adobe… corporations that make their money by tracking and profiling people and using that intimate insight into their lives to exploit them for profit.
Basically, the corporations that make up the Big Web that the fediverse provides some modicum of respite from.
My question was about the #W3C, not the Social Working Group.
The point is that if you’re the standards body for surveillance capitalism / Big Web with folks like Google and their ilk leading the show, please do not then also portray yourself as the champion of the little guy.
Or, as a W3C representative honestly answered my question at a conference we were both speaking at in Vienna once, “we are a corporate body, we uphold the interests of our corporate members.”
I do take umbrage to framing criticism of corporations (and corporate bodies like the W3C) as “self promotion.” I do not enjoy living in a world saturated with corporate messaging. If corporate bodies enter into this space and use it for public relations then I will challenge them here.
That said, I hope you realise this isn’t about you or the other folks who made ActivityPub. It’s about the corporate entity that is the W3C. We have to be able to differentiate those two things.
You have absolutely no reason to feel shitty about your work. Your work is invaluable and we wouldn’t even be having this conversation if it wasn’t for it. I see the fediverse as an essential stopgap. If it didn’t exist, it would make it exponentially more difficult to have a bridge to where I want to go with our small web stuff.
So both thank you for your work and sorry for making you feel bad. That was never my intention.
@aral Maybe because it's effective. That's how activism works. You take the focus when there's an opportunity not politely wait for a time when nobody is listening.
I really do not like this aspect of tone policing activism and thinly veiled threats that people doing activism via the fediverse need to watch what they say or be subjected to moderation.
Speaking truth to power is good, actually.
@dalias Indeed and yet I feel I must stress again that I wasn’t speaking to @cwebber (the person, who isn’t even part of a corporate W3C member as far as I know) but to @w3c (a corporate entity that does the bidding of surveillance capitalists like Google).
I could have worded it better so Christine didn’t have cause to think it was about her (and I’ll definitely make sure I do in the future if there is room for ambiguity).
@dalias (Sadly, it is also in the modus operandi of entities like the W3C, Google, etc., to use invited experts for legitimacy and to shield themselves from criticism. “Oh, you‘re criticising us, well you must be criticising this beloved person, then.” No, dear corporation, I‘m criticising the corporate entity and an increasing number of us happen to see through your public relations attempts at leeching legitimacy off of individuals.)
There was a time when having a valid standard HTML page was a symbol of resistance against monopolies 😛
@aral Please remember W3C is not some of our Members, but the sum of the work we're doing as a non-profit.
We develop standards the web needs to flourish *for everyone*, since 1994.
This is done by W3C Members, our small staff, the broad international community.
Members large and small bring work to #w3c because our proven standards process promotes fairness, openness, royalty-free, and strong focus across all work on security, privacy, internationalization and web accessibility.
My question was for the corporate entity that is W3C which was patting itself on the back for having gifted us the fediverse.
If you don’t think this is the first move of many in an effort to capture the narrative and shape the protocol going forward in line with the interests of their corporate members like Google and Meta, all I can say is I hope you’re right.
Also, my question remains unanswered: how many of the W3C’s members are surveillance capitalists?
#Friendica needs new contributors!
I'm not used to do this, but with the large influx of new users and node admins recently coming from #Twitter, our small team is now behind the curve for handling support requests, bug reports and bring about much-needed features.
The project is built on a #PHP/#MySQL platform, but we also need people to be able to assist others just using the software to give developers some space.

@Hypolite Petovan what will be best practice to get started to support developers? Unfortunately, I not that much experience in open source community social culture. I guess participating the discussion on the git site?
@Marek Bachmann :friendica: Yes! Open source community social culture is pretty much "do what you can on your own". Even inaccurate answers are better than no answer at all. Adding your support for new features or enhancements go a long way to motivate developers, acknowledging bug reports is good etiquette, and assisting support requests by gathering as much details as possible often helps troubleshoot the issue.
Finally, correcting existing documentation or guides or writing updated ones is absolutely stellar.

Well same here. My PHP knowledge of 2003 to 2007 is completely outdated. The last thing I did was porting the application I wrote at that time from PHP5 to PHP7, but that is some 6 or 7 years back, too. Since then I didn't write a single line of code in PHP anymore.

I don't want to say that again, that the code base is very complex. I rather thought that you can not only win people over for the code here, but that there are some tasks, as you have already listed.
I have to say I've looked at the code quite a few times and I haven't really gotten through what works where, how and why the way it works. Although I do daily development with my own applications based on PHP.
If I were to join at some point, I see the junior jobs as a starting point, as you have often described, and then ideally as an encapsulated development without any problems that can arise with the core.
Start slowly and feel your way and not from 0 to 100 and then cause chaos all over the core. Because it's always such a thing with self-developed applications where you can already understand the workflow in your head and in contrast to other developed software that still evokes many dark corners in your head.
That's why I understand your post and I think I'll hold back there, also to motivate people here, to screw the code base is not trivial and only people who have been doing this for a long time should do it. Because a broken Friendica is of no use to anyone.

What can they do in the Friendica project? 🤔
My technical background is that I have been writing some web applications for the company since about 2000 with PHP (from version 3), mySQL/MariaDB and Postgres. I also use JavaScript and HTML, and since version 2.x Smarty as a template engine.
In addition, I used to write scripts with Perl and now 99.9% with Python. 😊
Version management used to be in Subversion and since GIT has been around, only in GIT, but since Github was taken over by Microsoft, I don't use the service anymore, I host it myself first with Gogs and then with Gitea. 🤔
What can they do in the Friendica project?
- On the GitHub project page, we have a few issues labeled as "Junior Jobs".
- The official wiki has outdated information. @Tobias can grant write access to it.
- Even the embarked documentation could use an overhaul, it's stored in the project files but it's mostly Markdown so no need for a technical background.
- Support requests on GitHub are often lacking context information, asking for it ahead of a developer would be appreciated.
- Mutual aid on the @Friendica Support forum goes a long way, it's already pretty active in German, a little less so in English.

It is a pity that this process has not gone further. Many of the large projects have turned their backs on Github for the same reasons.
Thus, it would probably also be time to set a sign here and if an own system is already available, then this is even easier.
Of course, I can not say how difficult it is to move the messages and then take over, or whether you have to make a cut, etc..

We have to distinguish between the "normal" upstream branch and the Docker images I maintain.
For the upstream branch, I don't see any impediments anymore. It's fully merged to Woodpecker as CI/CD and most of the time, it's working fine
For the Docker images, it's really hard currently. Because I use a "standard" CI/CD action script/binaries from the Docker maintainers themself and they hardly relay on Github. Currently it's not possible to automatically test the Docker images. And as "official" and "best practice" Docker image, as Friendica is part of, we need a github repository to relay on (but we could make a "mirror" repo, so that's not a real issue 😀 )

Hmm.. But do you develop on that server directly or how is your coding environment? How do you debug, when it s not your local machine? Remote debugging?

@grischa I use JetBrains phpStorm as my IDE. It has a Deployment feature where it keeps an SFTP connection open with my remote server, and any file changed locally is updated on my server as well.
I am a little ashamed to admit I don't know how to use remote debugging, so I just output/log data through the code during my work, and clean up the debugging stuff before committing my work on Git.

Debugging would be very helpful, but maybe it works without.
Okay, thanks for that input, I will try something. 😀
(I could point a real domain to my local server maybe?)
But I am running a Pleroma and a Hubzilla instance on my own, so I guess this is enough for testing whether federation works.

If you are developing locally you could get a dyndns domain or something that points to your home router.
This then simply reverse proxy to your local system should actually be an idea for this.
Of course easier if you do the development via SFTP on your server and you also exclude any other bugs.

/etc/hosts to point to my local machine. Then in a /etc/apache2/sites-available/friendica.conf I setup a virtual host on that host name and even setup a self-signed SSL certificate so I can run #Friendica locally. To be able to receive mails locally, as I have #Linux running here, I had to a bit patch Friendica to disable a regex check on the entered email address. Now when I want to locally federate with e.g. #GNUSocial I just have to repeat above steps and I remember I was able to setup "remote" follow between these two local instances. For Windows users, there is #WinAMP around for a very long time, including #Mercury mail server so you could be able to repeat it even on Windows.Friendica Support reshared this.

/etc/hosts part and just access it through, e.g. https://localhost/friendica/ and set RewriteBase /friendica/ accordingly. With the separate host name you also have a separate error.log and access.log so it won't mix with other installations on your local machine.Friendica Support reshared this.

This allows us to move them from release to release and prioritize or categorize them accordingly.
But also if it takes longer or certain dependencies still needs us to write under tasks.

Well, it's a pity that there aren't more people here who can or want to contribute more time to the project.
Basically, it's a really great idea that you can host Friendica like, for example, a Wordpress. So the number of servers should actually be higher than they are currently due to this possibility.
But of course the code part is very complex and probably needs to be cleaned up and improved at one point or another.
So it is clear to me that this cannot be achieved due to the small number of heads, that one makes a big cut as I had suggested one time or another.
My goal would be to understand the code more and maybe start with a small junior point, but if something like that isn't really on the agenda and it's better not to experiment with the code, then that's the way it is.

@Hypolite Petovan Thank me when I've got a PR ready. There's absolutely no guarantee I'll actually get that far.
By the way, you do have js front-end code, so that's something I should be able to pick up. Also, I'm generally at my best dealing with complex interactions, front-backend interaction, algorithms, data structures, that sort of stuff. (And refactoring tech debt and complex code into something more readable, but maybe that's not the best place to start an unfamiliar language.) I'm terrible at infra, configurations, and fancy CSS. Just in case you have an issue that would be a good fit for that. But I don't mind picking up something else.

Happy to help out. Is there any documentation on how to set up a development environment? Haven't done PHP in 20 years or so but have lots of experience in other languages.
If a VS Code devcontainer setup that launches a LAMP environment with Friendica preconfigured would be useful, I'm happy to contribute that for starters.
That, and I'm curious how to populate a node with test data. Can I just dump and import my main account, or is there a better way?
Friendica Support reshared this.
@Nolan Darilek Hi Nolan and thank you for the offer! There are no specific steps to set up a development environment aside from installing a node. A challenge with a local development setup is the potential lack of federation with other servers.
As for populating a node with test data, creating a few users and following remote accounts are enough for most purposes. Although dumping your main account and importing it would be a great way to test this seldom-used feature!

Automattic is one of the most important companies on the Internet.

4. No Netflix documentaries have been made about them

Big Social might have lots of capital, but I doubt they have Automattic's stability, sustainability, and survivability.

Yet Automattic attracts good will and sustainability -- something Meta doesn't have.
Now to the question of, "How will this Fediverse thing make money?" -- because that's always the question.
Again, there's an easy answer:
1. Consulting
2. Customizations
3. Hosting
4. Support
In fact, there already is a few people making a living off the Fediverse as we speak.
And if Automattic can do it, so can WordPress, Pixelfed, Peertube, Lemmy -- all the projects and developers actively working on the Fediverse.

Another question regarding the Fediverse: "Would politicians, press, higher learning, celebrities actually ever be bothered to self-host an instance and pay someone to maintain it?"
Again, Automattic answers that question.
What do all those institutions use for their websites? Self-hosted WordPress sites.
Who runs it? Someone they pay.
Self-hosting and maintenance can not only be normalized -- people would probably be happy to do it.

Yesterday, I asked, "Is the Fediverse destined to be hijacked by a VC-driven Silicon Valley startup that re-hashes Big Social all over again?"
Nope -- it's not inevitable.
Again, Automattic has shown us that not only do alternative models exist, they're probably more sustainable.
To beat Big Social, we don't have to become Big Social.
It's entirely possible -- nay, probable -- to build the "WordPress of Social Media".

"WordPress of Social Media" sounds bad to me.
I was running WP since 2005 and while product itself was quite manageable it's plugins/themes were nightmare.
You got used to some function in plugin, got update and now it is 'pay us $$$' or 'buy plugin PRO' to get it back.
Amount of JS/CSS added by each plugin got page load slower and slower. Minify, merge etc help just a bit.

@Jeff Jarvis Great conversation!
It blows my mind when he just casually mentions that tumblr blows ~50 MUSD/year net, when Automattic got a funding round last year that would cover only a few years of that. Especially when the funding plan he mentions openly is selling shoelaces. 🤣
I wonder how many millions they're investing next year in rearchitecting to lower operational cost.
and then you have the most understimated plugin for wordpress

Yeah ur wordpress becomes an activitypub node... And comments written in mastodon are automagically appearing in ur wordpress page 
ActivityPub
The ActivityPub protocol is a decentralized social networking protocol based upon the ActivityStreams 2.0 data format.WordPress.org
No.
I guess what I’m questioning is whether it needs to be commercialized. I 100% believe in helping pay for infrastructure and time. I don’t want to live in a world where the Fediverse features ads, as an example
@deathweaselx86 Paying for consulting, customization, hosting and support is paying for infrastructure and time.
What's more, if you *don't* want to pay, you don't have to—the core product is free and open source. WordPress (and the Fediverse) isn't crippled if you opt to "do it yourself".
That said, many people would prefer to pay—and *should* pay—because they have unique needs.
Finally, compensation for work should be normalized.
I think this is asking a different question then what is really before us. We should be asking "What will "brands", with truck loads of money, actually do?"
Why is the advertising industry so large, even when there are some media companies that do build communities like Automattic does? It's because most people with money don't care about the community, they just want some vague promises that the dumpster of money they just paid makes them more sales then if they did nothing.
Personally I only expect to see lots of brands/names "self host" if it:
A) becomes a commodity like EC2. I think this will happen soon.
B) gives better reach then just making one, or more?, accounts on big platforms.
Self hosting seems more like a solution for a better experience for a personal timeline, it's not necessarily best for turning cash into sales.
@MadVikingGod I'm going to disagree with you here. Having self-hosted multiple instances, here's my experience:
1. There's no reach advantage when using the "big" instances, but it can put you at a disadvantage because:
2. When the Fediverse is stressed, the "big" instances are penalized more than the self-hosted instances—less users, less resources
3. Using a "big instance" puts you at the mercy of an admin's enforcement of rules, and that leaves you vulnerable should they change
it's hard when the pressure is quarter-over-quarter profits. You have to have a really good relationship with your investors who have to be ideologically aligned to something long-term -- or just no investors.
Also a key difference, Automattic isn't publicly traded so they can prioritize long-term strategy
And do I want the fediverse turned into the mess that is Automattic?
NOPE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. BUT NOPE.
@citytechie I can tell you how financially sustainable small instances are. My single-user Pleroma instance costs me $5/month.
And it would cost me $0 month if I decided to put it on a Raspberry Pi.
There's a lot of big picture stuff here, and I'll create a separate thread about that.

@simon_brooke Great question!
1. The Fediverse is not a commercial company -- it's not a company at all. Rather, it's an ensemble of federated protocols, servers, apps, and tools
2. People who build the Fediverse deserve compensation for their labour and work
3. Working a day job for an evil company and then building something good in your free time is a net gain for evil
4. The people who build the Fediverse already earn money off it, and they should continue to do so sustainably
clacke: exhausted pixie dream boy 🇸🇪🇭🇰💙💛 likes this.
Some of the people who build the Fediverse make money from it. And that's good, and users freely donating money to people who build and maintain the systems is good.
But capitalism is inherently evil, and although some companies are less evil than others, modelling the Fediverse on even a less-evil corporation is the road to hell.
@simon_brooke This thread isn't an argument for capitalism, it's an argument that current models of capitalism (especially surveillance capitalism) need not be assumed.
Now I'm not saying that the Fediverse should copy Automattic.
What I am saying is that Automattic has provided an alternative model that is proven, works, and is sustainable.
Further, I think anyone who implies that making a living is "evil" should read more theory.
@simon_brooke If capitalism is making money from ownership rather than work, then a company, even within a capitalist system, may itself not be capitalist at all if it is merely a structure for people to get work done and make a living from it and is not extracting rents for ownership.

I would love to join a worker's co-op. The problem is convincing 3 or more people to assume the same risk. The other problem is that should I find those people, some of them would probably want to 100x their ROI in 5 years.
Unfortunately, we live in a culture that saw Silicon Valley's fast mega growth and that's what gets celebrated.
I think the main thing is that automattic isn't a platform. Facebook and Twitter are platforms. Joe's Wine Blog is not, and importantly it's not connected to other blogs. Automattic is _just_ hosting.
I'm sure this is deliberate too. It must have occurred to them to add network wide commenting, ads, social media, etc, and they deliberately chose not to. Hence nothing to hate them for
I'm not sure if it's accurate to say people don't hate Automattic.
Lots of people hate WordPress; myself included. (I yet I still use it for lack of a better option.)
You're absolutely right. It's a different hate. 😂
WordPress is build with a terrible language and appears to be a mess on top of it which is addressed with messy plugins.
But there's no evil, just mess.

let’s be clear, Automattic does not make WordPress. It runs a service called WordPress.com .
We wouldn’t say Microsoft or GitHub makes git, and the same applies for WordPress and WordPress.com .
As for finding people who dislike Automattic as a brand, if you haven’t found them, you ain’t looking in the right spaces. They are around.
They also acquired my favorite podcast app, PocketCasts, and just open sourced it!
Truly doing God’s work!
I remember when Automattic bought one of my favorite apps, Day One. I hadn’t heard of them before that, so I was filled with dread.
I was afraid they’d shut it down or do things to kill it, but so far so good.

Great thread. Thanks for compiling and sharing.
Was aware of three of their platforms/products but had never heard of Automatic.
What is their track record like for INFOSEC?
@thothxv All right, let's say Automattic closes up shop -- what happens?
WordPress will still exist because it's open source, and *somebody* will pick up the reins of development.
So you see, even if Automattic doesn't make money, WordPress continues to be sustainable.
I mean… I’ve seen their stuff, and I have a Tumblr I haven’t updated in like half a decade, but the rest if it I don’t use and I kind of actively hate WordPress, especially compared to Joomla.
Honest I wouldn’t use them as a framework for the future either except for the “keep improving your product enough that people keep using it” concept.
@kraft @thothxv Any merit to the rumours that #Tumblr will be adding support for the #ActivityPub protocol?
I've had a blog (christrottier.com) running there for 6 years, and I wouldn't mind having it join the Fediverse.
This is absolutely true. I just wonder if Automattic is really the answer to "how can this fediverse thing make money?"
...I also don't know they aren't. I don't know if Automattic makes a net profit, and if they don't, I don't know why. If they aren't but would off the core business of Wordpress and only aren't because of other products, that's one thing. If they're just not profitable across the board, that's another. And maybe they're not at a loss at all. I don't know.

Alas, a lot of people have left WP for good because of the big disappointments in regards of "community involvement".

Ho sempre prestato eccessiva attenzione al linguaggio pubblicitario, quello televisivo in particolare.
E se certe cose non hanno tempo (come piazzare ore pasti tutti gli spot che fanno passare l'appetito), altre segnano vere e proprie ondate.
Ad esempio c'è stato il periodo della body positivity, in cui più o meno goffamente veniva inserito - finendo per evidenziarlo invece che integrarlo - qualche corpo o volto normale in contesti di usuale perfezione di corpi e volti televisivi.
Ora, sarà che i recenti fatti elettorali mi avranno un po' colpito, ma: non suona anche a voi un po' esagerata la presentazione patriottica del cioccolato ITALIANO con latte ITALIANO e nocciole ITALIANE? Lo dice proprio così. (Segue personaggio con espressione grottesca che scandisce "mmmh, SFITZERO?" e surreale risposta corale di bambini perfetti.)
non guardo tv da anni, ma forse ho compreso di quale pubblicità si tratti. La mia memoria non è mai stata buona, ma la parte finale credo sia rimasta invariata da diversi anni, no?
In ogni caso anche a me sembra esagerata ed un po' paradossale questa presentazione estremamente patriottica dato che, giustamente, sono loro stessi a riportare come il cacao venga dall'Ecuador: elah-dufour.it/en/ingredients

un motivo in più per non usare le email delle big:
ho un vecchio indirizzo email nomecognome@ #gmail e, sporadicamente ma non raramente, ricevo conferme d'iscrizione, d'acquisto, valutazioni per l'auto usata di chissà chi, sim da attivare, iscrizioni a newsletter ecc. fatte da persone omonime che probabilmente non ricordano a memoria il loro indirizzo email e inseriscono il mio per errore.
Di solito la prima cosa che faccio è contattare l'assistenza del sito spiegando la situazione. Purtroppo il più delle volte - e la quasi totalità dei casi per i siti italiani - si tratta di siti del cavolo e contattandoli (cosa che già comunque mi costringe a un'esposizione non desiderata) non ottengo ASSOLUTAMENTE nulla. Non una risposta, neanche automatica.
Se ricevo un "abbiamo preso in carico la sua richiesta...", spesso non ha alcun seguito, e non interrompono neanche il flusso di email indesiderate.
Spesso finisco con l'impadronirmi degli account con la procedura "ho dimenticato la password" per poi cancellare l'account (raramente possibile) o cambiare l'indirizzo email con uno inesistente (visto che la maggior parte non fa alcun controllo di validità dell'indirizzo).
A volte però non c'è proprio niente da fare perché perfino la procedura di recupero della password non funziona. Dice che è stata inviata l'email per ripristinare la password, ma la stessa non sarà mai recapitata.
Consigli per mitigare il problema? Intendo, oltre a quello di disfarmi dell'indirizzo in questione, che purtroppo ogni tanto mi serve ancora.

Non so che pretese hai, ma considera l'uso di un vecchio smartphone Android che sta prendendo polvere in casa tua..
Altrimenti, sempre restando curiosamente su dispositivi Android (perchè sono prodotti in massa e costano poco pur essendo flessibili come software), puoi trovare TV box e TV stick a 35-40 euro o poco meno su Amazon.it, e su Aliexpress forse trovi anche offerte migliori (non dirlo troppo in giro! se anche quelli salgono di prezzo sono guai).
Su Android puoi installare l'emulatore terminale Termux, dove puoi installare tantissime distro GNU+Linux containerizzate, e far girare diversi software da server.
Conta che se ti serve una porta di rete < 1000, ti serve o root su Android, oppure che il tuo router abbia port forwarding personalizzabile.

Il fatto è che finora ho cambiato smartphone solo quando il precedente non arriva più neanche a accendersi. A pensarci ora è anche strano, ma sono al mio secondo device smart in assoluto, terzo contando anche il nokia con symbian.

Europol si prepara a raccogliere big data sui cittadini europei dopo che gli eurodeputati hanno votato per espandere il potere di polizia
Il Parlamento europeo ha votato per conferire a Europol ampi poteri per raccogliere ed elaborare dati su individui, comprese persone non sospettate di alcun reato, con una mossa che amplia notevolmente il potere dell’agenzia di polizia europea. I deputati hanno votato il 4 maggio per ampliare il mandato di Europol per raccogliere dati personali dalle società tecnologiche, comprese le telecomunicazioni e fornitori di Internet e società di social media, e per raccogliere e analizzare i dati da paesi al di fuori dell’Unione Europea (UE).

Hong Kong pensa di bloccare Telegram, afferma il giornale locale
Le autorità di Hong Kong stanno valutando se limitare l’accesso pubblico al servizio di messaggistica Telegram, ha riportato il Sing Tao Daily , facendo potenzialmente rivivere i timori che l’ex colonia britannica si stia avvicinando ai controlli Internet in stile Pechino. Il quotidiano locale ha riferito martedì che il Commissario per la privacy per i dati personali sta valutando la possibilità di invocare regolamenti per limitare l’accesso a una piattaforma che ha ritenuto dilagante con il doxxing. Il diffuso doxxing – o esposizione online di dati sensibili e personali – era rivolto a funzionari governativi e cittadini, ha affermato il quotidiano, citando persone non identificate.

Hong Kong authorities are deliberating whether to curtail public access to the messaging service Telegram, the Sing Tao Daily reported, potentially reviving fears the former British colony is moving closer toward Beijing-style internet controls. The Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data is considering invoking regulations for the first time to restrict access to a platform it found to be rampant with doxxing, the local newspaper reported Tuesday. The widespread doxxing — or online exposure of sensitive and personal data — was aimed at government officials as well as citizens, the newspaper said, citing unidentified people.

ANSWER: Our built-in OpenPGP implementation is getting better and better with each release. 102 (out this June) will bring great improvements in the encrypted composition workflow and in key management. The usability of those areas will be equal, if not better than Enigmail, in 102 - with the objective to continue improving the feature each release.

Ho aperto Gnome Text Editor, che è adesso proposto al posto di gedit. È molto pulito e molto GTK4, probabilmente sarà anche molto potente.
Ma non ho potuto fare a meno di notare il non trascurabile tempo d'attesa per l'apertura
Pochi secondi, ma sempre un'infinità rispetto a gedit o a molti altri editor che sono sempre stato abituato a vedere aprire "a schiaffo".
Incuriosito, controllo htop e vedo che, appena aperto e senza nessun file dentro, pesa 80MB abbondanti.
Sono un po' perplesso

dici?
Perché come opzioni e funzionalità sembra minimale, e molto gradevole, devo aggiungere.
Ho avuto la stessa sensazione anche con Secrets, un password manager in GTK4 compatibile con il formato keepass. L'ho provato sperando si integrasse con Gnome Web, ma purtroppo - finora? - l'integrazione si ferma allo stile della UI. E anche in questo caso, in alcune circostanze sembra essere immotivatamente lento. Esempio: quando si cerca una chiave con la ricerca libera. Non lunghi tempi d'attesa, ma quell'esitazione che ti fa pensare "ma che succede, s'è bloccato?"

Ahahah,
sì conosco bene questa fama
Ma se da un lato Gnome detiene sempre il record di uso di ram, d'altra parte ho notato che non è (più?) sempre valida l'equazione "più pesante=più lento".
Nel mio pc ho provato DE che ti facevano dire "wow" perché stavano sui 300mb scarsi, ma usandoli mi sembravano meno reattivi di Gnome col suo giga abbondante al login (vanilla, zero estensioni, scende al massimo a 800mb se si evita evolution-data-server).
In questo caso a farmi restare interdetto non sono tanto gli 80 mb per un editor di testo che, almeno apparentemente, si presenta come minimale; ma il fatto che sembri effettivamente lento a partire su un i7 di qualche anno fa con 16 gb di ram e ssd.
Magari si comporta meglio di gedit su file molto grandi? Da vedere.

The EU Commission is planning automatic CSAM scanning of your private communication – or total surveillance in the name of child protection.

that’s literally what x-rays and metal detectors are for. Yes, your clothes have to be “see-through” for a small number of people to make sure you aren’t carrying a bomb or something.
You people are so paranoid and distrustful

it's a bit long to read but searching the .pdf at page 27 i see a mention regarding security with regard to third parties, so they did not _completely_ ignore it.
I agree that basically spying on _everyone_ is not proportional to preventing _some) grooming cases. (in _one_ of the chains of the chain of events leading to child abuse)
trying to follow this instruction:
talk about the things you love, even if you think nobody cares.
people won't ask for it at least at first, but some of them will care
and it's attractive to see someone talk about the things they love.
let go of the notion that it's worthless if you don't get a minimum number of listeners, reactions, replies.
practice caring publicly about the things you care about.
I think this is a good reminder for me. I never liked being shy anyway

La cui risposta, per GA è "Stati Uniti d'America", paese in cui la normativa obbliga le aziende a modificare il software affinché le agenzie governative possano analizzarne i dati contenuti 🤔
Ad esempio, il solo ricevere un promemoria alle ore 11,45 per svolgere l'attività di una app, comporta il trattamento dei dati personali.
La mia domanda: anche pur rinunciando eticamente alle funzionalità (che app private mettono già a disposizione), quanti cittadini sarebbero pronti a lamentarsi di una app pubblica, con meno potenzialità e sviluppata "peggio"?

in reply to Gli Scarabocchi • • •Si, internet è la versione romanzata della nostra esistenza.
Ma non è solo quando partecipiamo a internet che definiamo molto liberamente chi siamo e chi non siamo, perchè questo succede continuamente, in particolare davanti a nuove conoscenze.
C'è però un correttivo al nostro poterci pensare in qualunque modo ci piaccia, ed è che la società non accetta una versione se non viene trovata accettabile da almeno un'altra persona.
Internet o no, bisogna piacere ad almeno una persona
