  • @aimee@mastodon.nz great suggestions, thanks! Science magazines would be great reading material :)

  • @julian Aeon? New Scientist? As for books - SO MANY (mostly sci-fi) :P Read Transmetropolitan? Or Afrian Tchaikovsky's work? Also, the Discworld novels :)

  • Jonathan Haidt's been doing a media tour to promote his and Catherine Price's new book, The Amazing Generation.

    After watching the duo's segment on The Daily Show, it's inspired my wife and I to try a digital sabbath on Saturdays again.

    Part of why it failed in the past (multiple times, I'm sad to say) was that we didn't have anything physical to read. We'd start making small concessions ("I'm reading a Kindle, it's ok"), leading to more concessions ("I'm only using my phone to look something up"), and pretty soon we'd be back on our phones again.

    So, fedi, any suggestions for book series' and (print) magazines to subscribe to?

    We're probably going to subscribe to Macleans, but it's monthly now, so we need more suggestions!

    Bonus if it's Canadian content, but not a hard requirement.

    We'll probably do Chirp for the kids, too.

  • So NodeBB tests have been failing for the past few days because coveralls.io is down.

    Coveralls is a code coverage bot that is free for open source projects. We integrated it into our workflow years ago and it's been trucking along fine all these years.

    While coveralls being down technically prevents us from running our tool to launch a new version, we could always just do it manually.

    Their outage page is here: https://status.coveralls.io/

    They are on day 3 of the outage and have absolutely no idea when things will come back up.

    This paragraph is worded curiously:

    > We want to be transparent with you: after two full days of working directly with our hosting provider’s account team, we still do not have an ETA for service restoration. Despite having internal sponsorship within our provider’s organization, we have been unable to get the traction needed to resolve what appears to have been an automated action, one that no one on their side has taken ownership of causing or fixing.

    (Emphasis mine.)

    Perhaps I have been reading too many AI-doomer articles. This sounds like an AI agent went in and started deleting shit.

    The post mortem is going to be very very very interesting.

    cc @mariusor@metalhead.club, because he started an HN thread about it

    I have a confession. I installed my Mastodon server software on my VPS that is marketed as a "storage" VPS. 😎 How awesome is that? 😎 It has a 1TB SSD anyway and 18GB of RAM, so why not increase the RAM usage? 😎 #mastodon #fediverse #selfhosting #vps #storageserver #tech #geek #itstudent #humane_tech #decentralisation #openweb #technology #sysadmin #bigstorage #ram #ssd #doityourself #coding #linux #serverlife #webhosting #diytech #compute #network #activitypub #awesome #engineering

    I'm working on federation issues.👻 Release v3.1.2 of Ktistec improves support for Lemmy and community servers like it that distribute content by wrapping it in Announce activities (FEP-1b12: Group federation support). Ktistec also supports the audience property, although support for that was removed from Lemmy earlier this year.🎃 This release also adds support for delivering to shared inboxes, which are widely supported by other ActivityPub servers. Despite being federated, the Fediverse is not highly distributed, and this optimization can reduce outbound delivery traffic by 10-20x.AddedSupport for the Dislike activity.Support for the audience property on activities and objects.Support for delivery to shared inboxes.Support for full-width hash signs in hashtags (e.g. #日本語) commonly used in Japanese and other Asian languages.FixedStrip HTML from object summaries rather than escaping it.Properly unwrap Lemmy-style Announce activities.ChangedDestroy discarded drafts instead of deleting them.Enjoy!#ktistec #fediverse #activitypub #crystallang
