De vez en cuando conviene recordar que, más o menos, todos los planetas del Sistema Solar caben en el espacio entre la Tierra y la Luna.

From time to time, it's worth to remember that, more or less, all planets from the Solar System fit between the Earth and the Moon.

Fixed the breakage of Emojis I introduced when implementing HashTags because I am a moron.

Added adaptative timeouts when sending messages to other instances.

@grunfink This seems awfully minor, too minor for bug report formalities, but I couldn't help but notice:

"snac 2.18 - A simple, minimalistic ActivityPub instance
Copyright (c) 2022 grunfink - MIT license"

Yet, we are now in 2023 C.E.

I'm happy to announce version 2.18 of snac, the simple, minimalistic ActivityPub instance server, including the following changes:

Added support for #HashTags (they are not internally indexed yet, only propagated to other instances).

Added support for OpenBSD enhanced security functions unveil() and pledge() (contributed by alderwick).

The purge ttl for stray global objects has been shortened.

In the HTML interface, don't show the collapse widget for non-existent children.

Added support for HTTP signature pseudo-headers (created) and (expires), that are used by some ActivityPub implementations (e.g. Lemmy).

When replying, the mentioned people inherited from the original post will be clearly labelled with a CC: prefix string instead of just being dropped out there like noise like Mastodon and others do. (I hope) this will help you realise that you are involving other people in the conversation.

Jon Corbet (LWN.net) on the AI crap that is waiting for us in 2023:

Perhaps this flood of content will prove beneficial [...]. But that outcome does not seem highly likely in the near future. Instead, we're likely to see code submissions from "developers" who do not understand what they are posting; this code could contain no end of bugs and, potentially, license violations. Cut-and-paste programming has long been a problem throughout this industry. It is far from clear that automating the cutting and pasting is going to improve the situation.

AI-generated text has its own challenges. Our mailing lists and forum sites do not lack for people trying to appear authoritative on subjects they do not really understand; how many more will show up when it is easy to get a machine-learning system to produce plausible text with little effort? Even the most ardent believers in the "last post wins" approach to mailing-list discussions will get tired and shut up eventually; automated systems have no such limits. How long until we have a discussion on, say, init systems that is sustained entirely by bots?

Pobrecita. A ver si se le cura de una vez.

I'm thinking about adding some new features to snac, the minimalist ActivityPub server written in C. As these features are opinionated and probably even controversial, they will be off by default. These are the ideas:

First, add an option to automatically drop all announces (boosts). Unless your affinity with the people you follow is deep, boosts are just (usually) tangentially interesting, probably flooding your timeline and just forcing you to spend more and more time inside the social media space. A variant of this would be to make this option not global, but by actor, so that you can 'boost-mute' only those adorable but annoying fellows that are particularly trigger-happy to the boost button (implementing the option this way is more work for me, but not that much).

Second, add an option to drop all messages that are not public nor mentioning you. That is, filter out those infamous 'follower-only' messages. People use to engage in these follower-only conversations, so you only receive these chat fragments without context (unless you also follow all the people involved) and they are purely noise. In my opinion, follower-only messages are a very bad idea that just pollute the space (and this is why snac doesn't implement them and never will).

Third, add an option to drop all replies to your messages from people that you are not following. This would prove useful for very popular, mostly announce-only accounts. I agree that it's a bit elitist and probably toxic, but also helps in spending less time inside the social networks and more time painting or writing or taking the dog for a walk.

What do you think?

https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2

awk -F, 'NR > 1 { print $1 }' /path/to/following_accounts.csv | \
           xargs -n 1 snac follow $SNAC_BASEDIR $SNAC_USER

No se puede ser más "cool" 😎

If you program in C, you've probably used what is called the ternary operator a million times in expressions like this:

    value = user_value ? user_value : default_value;

Where you test user_value and, if it's non-zero, you store it in value; otherwise, you set value to default_value.

What you may not know is that, thanks to a gcc (and others) extension, you can abridge that expression to this:

    value = user_value ?: default_value;

This ?: thing is colloquially named the 'Elvis' operator (if you don't see why, just look at it with you head slightly slanted to the left).

Modern C for C++ Peeps:

https://floooh.github.io/2019/09/27/modern-c-for-cpp-peeps.html

I find the article interesting not only for C++ "peeps", but for us greybeard C programmers as well, who learnt the language in the eighties. Remarkable sections in the document are:

- Use struct wrappers for strong typing (I've never done this, but it's interesting; accessing the components inside the structs may become a bit tedious, though).
- Initialization in C99 (I haven't used this to its full potential).
- Don’t be afraid to pass and return structs by value (as an old fart, I always pass pointers to structs, and this section reasons otherwise for small structs).
- Named optional arguments (or, as the author more accurately describes this, the "option bag").

Researching mines in northern Spain I came across this curious object. It's a canary cage designed to keep the canary alive in the event of a gas leak. If a miner saw the canary laying at the bottom of the cage it was time to abandon everything and leave the mine, but not without first closing the latched glass door and opening the valve of the oxygen bottle to save the bird. A miner would do that on their way out and take the bird with them. It's a signifier of the miner's legendary sense of solidarity, no lives lost to the mine on a miners watch. A solidarity that was also crucial in the fight for workers rights, creating safer and more humane working conditions, achievements of unionization and solidarity that some of us still enjoy today.

@emilymbender There is a demand for low-background steel, steel produced before the nuclear tests mid century, for use in Geiger counters. They produce it from scavenging ships sunk during world war one, as it's the only way they can be sure there is no radiation.

The same is going to happen for internet data, only archives pre-2022 will be usable for sociology research and the like as the rest will be contaminated by AI nonsense. Absolute travesty.

TIL that there is something named linker optimization that forces the deletion of unused functions in your final executable. As a bonus, you get the list of unused functions as compiler warnings (dead code is always bad, so you get the change to delete them or comment them out).

No. But if you use an infographic to prove something, it must be somewhat accurate.

Again, I agree with the message and bet for car-free cities and public transportation and have an active role in my community in these regards. But misleading graphics do not help.

While I totally agree on the message, if cars are used at their full capacity (5 people), you only need 1000 / 5 = 200 cars to move a thousand people, not 625.

Linux's strcmp() For The m68k Has Always Been Broken:

The m68 hand-written assembler version of strcmp() has always been broken: it returns the difference between the first non-matching byte done as a 8-bit subtraction.

That is _almost_ right, but is broken for the overflow case. The strcmp() function should indeed return the sign of the difference between the first byte that differs, but the subtraction needs to be done in a wider type than 'char'. Otherwise the ordering isn't actually stable.

@grunfink: The #Debian package of #snac has been updated to version 2.15. So far @xtaran@c3pio.deuxchevaux.org ran 3 hours without issue. But then again, the previous version hadn't crashed for a while either. Let's see if it survives this mentioning. 😉

TIL that most video processing tools accept as a valid input stream a set of concatenated PPM [1] files, so you can generate video from your own programs easily. You just have to pipe your program's output to the appropriate tools (indicating the FPS) like

or

./fancy-prg | ffmpeg -i - -r $FPS video.mp4

And since "trending on Artstation" has become a common prompt among AI users, their results are all getting contaminated, as the algorithm just assumes the logos are part of the image. They're all upset about the "attack" now.

"if i replace all the words, is it really plagiarism?"

this argument is known as the ship of thesaurus

From @pluralistic:

"Earlier this year, many people with Argus optical implants – which allow blind people to see – lost their vision when the manufacturer, Second Sight, went bust.

"Nano Precision Medical, the company's new owners, aren't interested in maintaining the implants, so that's the end of the road for everyone with one of Argus's 'bionic' eyes. The $150,000 per eye that those people paid is gone, and they have failing hardware permanently wired into their nervous systems.

"Having a bricked eye implant doesn't just rob you of your sight – many Argus users experience crippling vertigo and other side effects of nonfunctional implants. The company has promised to 'do our best to provide virtual support' to people whose Argus implants fail – but no more parts and no more patches."

Never heard of it before, but having a Mastodon-compatible instance packaged in Debian is great. So maybe time for my own instance? 😁 Will at least toy around with it. The question is on which host. But I suspect my Raspberry Pi running Debian Unstable will do. 😎

I'm proud to announce version 2.14 of snac, the simple, minimalistic ActivityPub instance server, that include the following new features and fixes:

Previous posts in the public and private timelines can be reached by a "More..." post at the end (contributed by kensanata).

Clicking the 'Like' and 'Boost' buttons don't move the full conversation up; after that, the page is reloaded to a more precise position. Still not perfect, but on the way.

New command-line operation, resetpwd, to reset a user's password to a new, random one.

Added a user setup option to toggle if sensitive content is shown or not by default (contributed by kensanata).

All images are loaded in lazy mode for a snappier feel (contributed by kensanata).

Fixed crash in the data storage upgrade process when debug level >= 2 (contributed by kensanata).

Log message improvements for excelence (contributed by kensanata).

The logging of "new 'Delete'..." messages has been moved to debug level 1, because I'm fed up of seeing my logs swamped with needless cruft.

Don't show the 'Boost' button for private messages.

Added (partial) support for /.well-known/nodeinfo site information. This is not mandatory at all, but if you want to serve it, remember that you need to proxy this address from your web server to the snac server.

Some internal structure improvements.

@solene@bsd.network As far as I know, there is no official term for what you want. In my current development team we call these ones 'interim' versions, but this is more like private slang among us.

TL;DR: «el fediverso también es una mierda porque está lleno de personas».

I think this show works because the main characters are horrible persons (among other things, of course).

I totally agree with you, it's their descensus ad inferos what make the show fascinating, as they start being good people and end up being cold monsters because of the circunstancies. The case for Ruth is specially heartbreaking because he is how she is due to poverty and family issues, she tries but never succeeds.

TIL that you can have a full-path soname in a dynamic library, so that binaries linked to it can find it even if it's in a non-standard place:

gcc -shared -o libcrazy.so -Wl,-soname,/an/esoteric/place/to/store/libcrazy.so crazy.c
gcc -o main -L. -lcrazy main.c

This way, you don't need kludges regarding the use of LD_LIBRARY_PATH nor anything else.

TIL by accident that you can type make from inside gdb and does what you think it does.

Wow, strangest.saddest.city is probably the most beautiful domain name ever.

I wonder what do they sell in this place.
