Mergesort For Linked Lists
Mergesort takes the input list and treats it as a collection of small sorted lists. It makes log N passes along the list, and in each pass it combines each adjacent pair of small sorted lists into one larger sorted list. When a pass only needs to do this once, the whole output list must be sorted.https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/algorithms/listsort.html
Not sure what it wants, but akkoma is super picky about webfinger accept header. Honk sends "Accept: application/jrd+json" as per spec, but akkoma rejects with 406 Not Acceptable. Listen here, you little shit, I'll decide what's acceptable and you'll like it.

@tedu talking of federation issues, I didn’t get this honk on my GtS server, and looking in the logs...

@eta yeah, weird, I can see i was posting ok for a while, then suddenly it switched to 400. no changes on my side. last success was 2023/07/27 15:09:36.
But due to the way the retry queue works, it's retrying the same message originally from 2023/07/27 15:27:16. That was a "Read" activity.
...
@tedu yeah, I added some more debug logging -- the problem is it doesn't support that activity, so it just gives you a 400 >.>
perhaps the retry queue should be able to distinguish this case, but also I feel like GtS should maybe just accept it even though it won't use it
...
@eta related annoyance, your replies aren't recognized as mentions, so don't trigger the you've got mail notification on my end. But since I can't easily fetch the activity, not sure what's missing.

@tedu fixed that for you with https://git.eta.st/forks/gotosocial/-/commit/374c6fdffbe05aa53dfd1ad29b835e2e30091617 :p

@eta oh, ha, just found this looking for one of your posts. I wanted to ask for another reply now that i've got a little more logging in place, but I think i can see what's up now.

oh, gross, if there's only one mention, it puts it in the tag property, instead of an array. wank, wank, technically correct spec superiority, but kind of annoying. fixable. thanks for the help.

Gotosocial seems to do this (return lists having only one element as the object instead of a list) for many things, like tags or attachments.

@angel it's not wrong, you're technically supposed to do it, although almost nobody bothers. just somewhat annoying that somebody went to extra effort to add more edge cases.
I make one tiny star trek joke (here, not there) and now startrek.website has defederated me. Life in the lemmyverse.

Was it the "one star trek series should be enough"? Oh my, people are really humourless out there.
The posts have started to flow again, as mysteriously as they stopped. The timing was funny, but I guess it was coincidence, not enemy action.
I've seen several lemmy failure modes now, but usually there's some indication of the nature of the problem. Haven't gotten the silent treatment before. Will add that to the list.
LA MONJA POLILLA
Sus dominios son los de la desazón y el pesar; sus ojos, facetados como el cuarzo, y su abdomen segmentado y piloso y carente de simetría. La monja polilla espera en su lecho de harapos de tela de saco, astillas de hueso y fermento de hebras de centeno. El hambre la mantiene en un sopor inquieto de tempestad inminente y de ligamentos tensionados.
El ruido de la reja al abrirse la sobresalta; sacude la gorguera quitinosa que a modo de cofia corona sus sienes y su patas de codos múltiples se retuercen y crepitan como ramas en la hoguera. Chapotea nerviosa sobre los restos de su último festín, una traductora checa demasiado ignorante del peligro; ahora es poco más que un aceite apestoso que ni siquiera la monja polilla reconoce como alimento.
Ella es ahora una criatura del umbral pero no siempre fue así; su deshecha mente apenas lo recuerda, pero cruzó un océano para saciar la inquietud de su espíritu, cuando aún era un ser humano, cuando buscó su redención pero encontró a un guía y mentor que era el morador del espacio liminal entre la realidad y el delirio, cuando se tropezó con El Lobo, que es bestia y es númen y es dios de la perversidad, que la desposó y la convirtió en lo que ahora es, ser errabundo y articulado y hambriento.
Por fin la presa apareció tras un recodo. Era una mujer esbelta, rubia como el sol, de movimientos elegantes pero estériles; sus ropajes relucientes reflejaban un río de rayos rojos. Entraba en busca de nuevas experiencias y de ideas deslumbrantes que transmitir a su audiencia. Su piel, su forma de caminar, su indisimulada arrogancia, mostraban sin pudor que jamás había sufrido necesidad alguna, que sus pies descalzos siempre habían pisado alfombras limpias, que siempre había tenido acceso a la más refinada formación y al agua corriente más clara.
La monja polilla tensó sus músculos preparando el golpe mortal; su ovipositor palpitó con fiebre al comprender que aquella carne aún viva será el cobijo y alimento para sus huevos, que ya eclosionarán con el hambre de un millón de años, una progenie maldita y doliente y de ojos facetados que se arrastrará por los dominios de la desazón y el pesar.
I think it’s difficult for us in North America to appreciate how contrary, rebellious, and frankly prophetic Sinéad O’Connor was in an Irish context. I lived there briefly in 1985, and so saw a bit of the place and time she was from.
It was a bit of a culture shock. I was 19 and not in school. I got a work permit and flew over to Dublin. I only spoke English at the time so it was kind of a toss up between London and Dublin. I didn’t think there’d be much of a difference it was all “Western Europe” as far as I was concerned — Denmark, France, Ireland, … all pretty similar right? Hahahaha.
Unlike today, Ireland in 1985 was a poor country. Deprivation had forced generations of people to emigrate to seek a better life. There were 4 million people in the Republic, but in 1845 there had been 8 million. The only country in Europe whose population declined over that period. 1995 was the first time in 300 years Ireland did not have negative net migration.
And it was pious. Sinéad called it “a theocracy”. There were no state schools. All education was in the hands of religious schools — overwhelmingly Catholic. Two years before, in 1983, the Republic had put a ban on abortion into their constitution. Condoms were illegal when I got there. In 1980 Bob Geldof had summed up his home town as “police and priests”.
It seemed a bit more patriarchal than the US in the Reagan years. But I didn’t know the half of it. It wasn’t until years later that I learned about the Magdalene Laundries where “troubled” girls were imprisoned in workhouses operated by orders of nuns, the Mother and Baby homes where women who were pregnant out of wedlock were kept out of sight to have their babies in secret, who were then taken from them and sold to American Catholic couples — and underneath it all the decades-long, quietly suppressed crime of the clergy sexually abusing boys and girls.
This stuff was not talked about in 1980s Ireland. But Sinéad did. She would not shut up. She would not stay in her place. She made original, passionate music. But if you think she caused an uproar in the US when she tore up a photo of the Pope on SNL in 1992 … well, in Ireland it was more of what she already was known for.
It was only later, in the late 1990 and 2000s that the scandals broke, and everyone could see that the crazy woman who would not shut up was right. She had been right all along.
The 2022 biographical film Nothing Compares is good. If you want to get the flavor of what she means to people in Ireland, go scroll through the expressions of grief pouring out on mastodon.ie
The woman was a giant.

Ya sé lo que me tienes que regalar para Reyes.
El artículo 99 de la #Constitución Española es uno de los que reformaría sin dudar. Otorga al #Rey un papel político del que, por la propia salud de la monarquía, debería estar exento. En la mayoría de monarquías europeas (donde hay tradición de Gobiernos de coalición) es otra figura la que se encarga de llevar al Rey un potencial candidato. Debería ser el presidente del Congreso el encargado de esas negociaciones #política
...
En la anterior crisis de este estilo, hasta me atreví a reescribir el artículo 99 adoptando además algunas ideas de la Constitución portuguesa (siento la errata)
Pero el presidente del Congreso siempre es un cargo propuesto por el gobierno en curso, ¿no? Ya sé que la cámara tiene que refrendarlo, pero siempre es (o al menos que yo recuerde) un componente del partido gobernante. Me temo que siempre habría (o se le podría acusar de) sesgo en sus propuestas.
...
@angel @tferrer Todas las propuestas van a tener sesgo en política... Al menos ese presidente/a del Congreso demuestra que ese partido va a poder reunir apoyos (ya los reunió para conseguir la presidencia del Congreso!).
Sería peor al revés, que por proponerlo el rey, éste sea el que parezca parcial... No?

Solo por poner en perspectiva.
Ha habido ocho millones de personas que han votado a un partido dirigido por un fabricante de mentiras profesional, un tipo que no sabe ubicar Huelva o Badajoz en un mapa, un paisano que dice que 2 x 2 = 22, una persona sin la capacidad de dar la cara en un debate, y que se indigna cuando descubren sus mentiras.
...
política -- quejándome fuerte [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Y más de tres millones de personas han votado por un partido abiertamente machista y homófobo, que niega el cambio climático, que considera que la caza y el toreo son bienes culturales a conservar, mientras censura abiertamente, y apuesta declaradamente por retroceder en derechos. Un partido en cuyo programa se expresaba la intención de subir los impuestos a quienes menos ganan, mientras proponen bajárselo a quienes más tienen.
Tres millones.

A cambio, otros tres millones de personas han votado al partido que ha marcado la iniciativa para que haya más avances sociales que en ningún otro momento de la historia. Los que han hecho posible que se suba el SMI, los que han logrado un ingreso mínimo vital, los que han salvado a miles de empleados durante la pandemia, los que han reducido la temporalidad y bajado el desempleo a niveles mínimos...

No lo entiendo. De verdad que no lo entiendo.No es tan complicado de entender. La burguesía acomodada, reaccionaria y falta de empatía no siente que esté perdiendo derechos; ellos solo sienten que el estado les cobra más impuestos de los que ellos quieren pagar. Tienen sus seguros médicos privados, sus redes de seguridad entre conocidos, su colchón económico. Los derechos que se pierden con los partidos a los que votan no son sus derechos, son los de otros.
Que prefieran perder derechos en lugar de ganarlos.
A ellos ni siquiera les parece que poder elegir si te sientes hombre o mujer sea un derecho; para ellos, es una perversión. A ellos les jode que se paguen «paguitas» a gente que está a una semana de la bancarrota total; para ellos, es su culpa, porque no se esfuerzan y son unos parásitos que viven de sus impuestos. Según ellos, el estado les «roba» su dinero para dárselo a inmigrantes, viciosos y vagos.

Siendo cierto, no hay que perder la perspectiva de que en 2019 fueron votados por 3656979 personas y ayer por 3033744: una pérdida del 17 %, que no es baladí. Eso quiere decir que ha habido 623235 votantes que han decidido que YA NO era la opción correcta para ellos.
No podemos saber si esa gente que les ha retirado el voto lo ha hecho por «el voto útil» o porque han visto que las políticas de zoquetes y analfabetos que están empezando a poner en marcha no les gustan.

@tedu I'm pretty excited about this. Is there any roadmap documented anywhere?
2 Things I'd really like to see is
1. Notifications or notices of replies to posts/comments
2. Private messages

@petersanchez finding replies is probably pretty important.
Messaging may be inevitable, though I hate the return of jwz's law. Now every site must grow to become email.
I think HN has done pretty well for a forum with no messaging capability, although they may be operating in a slightly different space. I do know I'd always get annoyed whenever somebody would find my lobsters handle and send me a message about something entirely unrelated. I don't want 76 inboxes.
What would be an example of an ActivityPub extension that would make people switch to Threads and abandon software that doesn't implement it? The extension could only be useful if other software implements it. If nobody implements it, it's literally just a local only feature.

Once upon a time -- many, many years ago and late one night -- I entered the ARPANET (the Internet's ancestor) computer room at UCLA to do some work on ARPANET host #1 -- the DEC PDP-11/45 that was UNIX UCLA-ATS.
But something was wrong. The system was behaving very oddly. It was up, and not under heavy load, but ... it was as if it kept starting and stopping. When I'd type there'd be activity -- I could see it on the front panel lights, but when I stopped typing ... everything seemed to stop. I could get keyboard echos, and then a response ... but then everything would stop again.
Normal boot wasn't working either, but it was possible to reboot from the emergency DECtape.
But still clearly failing overall.
When we ultimately found out what the problem was, I was quite amused. The real-time clock hardware had failed, so the process scheduler was not cycling properly. However, whenever someone typed, the keyboard interrupt would push the scheduler so there'd be some action -- but then it would stop again until there was more typing and more interrupts.
Basically, the system was operating as if on a hand crank. Live long enough, and you see almost everything. -L

Today is the day I announce my reddit clone. Or preannounce. It's pretty early and incomplete. If you don't like unfinished work, skip this and wait til next week.
It's called azorius. It lets people post links to groups and comment on them. It lets you follow groups you're interested. Does it need explaining? It federates via activitypub.
The primary federation compat target is lemmy, which almost works. You can follow both ways. The representation of posts and groups should be similar. azorius can receive posts from lemmy, but lemmy currently rejects announce activities from azorius because the data did not match any variant of untagged enum SharedInboxActivities. Rustaceans are welcome to start here and embark on a journey of awe and splendor.
Compat with AP microblogging is pretty low priority. I've already got one of those.
There's a test instance at az1.azorius.net. You can't post anything until your account is approved, to control how much mess I need to clean up, but should be able to follow and subscribe if you'd just like a reader. If I know you, probably approved, but don't run to tell all your friends. Again: early access, low expectations.
The azorius source can be checked out and built on sufficiently powerful computers. It's only like 50%, or even 25%, done, but the work that's left should generally slot in to what's there. The major technology choices like javascript framework and build system have been decided.

Similarly, there's @jr's guide to running @grunfink's snac on OpenBSD:
https://futurist.city/~jr/activitypub-server-on-openbsd.html
Though, technically snac (https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2) is an ActivityPub implementation in highly portable C, with some Mastodon compatibility, it is not Mastodon (https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon).
Upshot: snac also is savvy with regards to OpenBSD's "pledge" & "unveil" security functions.
Additionally, I maintain the snac MacPort (https://ports.macports.org/port/snac/) [note: I have submitted a PR for 2.36, but it has not yet been merged at the time of this toot].
Albeit, I am not too sure how many would argue that macOS is a BSD?

Your post is food for thought. Given that there are out there a significant number of instances that are Nazis and defederated from our instances, we can assume that they federate with one another.

Lo de la «hipoteca inversa para complementar la jubilación» es algo, por lo que yo sé, que BobPop le escuchó decir a Feijoo en una conversación telefónica en un tren, así que hay que tomarlo con pinzas. Me cuesta creer que realmente haya dicho esto. ¿Por qué? Porque aquellos a los que afectaría esta cosa, es decir, la gente que espera heredar la casa de sus padres, son gran parte de sus potenciales votantes.
Una hipoteca inversa es cuando vendes una propiedad y te dejan seguir viviendo en ella mientras vivas, pero cuando te mueres, el bien pasa a los nuevos propietarios (generalmente una empresa, una aseguradora o un fondo buitre).
Esto es como decir: «si me votas, la casa de tus viejos se venderá para pagar su jubilación y tú te quedarás sin ella». Y eso como propaganda electoral 😆
Aunque, no sé, Feijoo me parece más perdido que Wally, así que igual lo piensa de verdad.

I’m a card-carrying atheist, I think a woman’s right to choose is very important, I think that “well regulated militia” means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and I couldn’t care less if you decided to dress up in the “wrong” clothes or decided you’d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with.
And dammit, if that all makes me “woke”, then I think anybody who uses that word as a pejorative is a f*cking disgrace to the human race. So please just unfollow me right now.

El 22 de junio a las 7 de la tarde presentaré mi libro YO NO SOY PAVEL en La Casa del Libro de la calle Alcalá, 96 de Madrid.
Me acompañará mi compinche Fernando Cámara, que ha estado a mi lado en tantas cosas.
¡Os espero!
Números de las elecciones a la Comunidad de Madrid 2023, comparados con las de 2021:
El PP ha perdido 44623 votantes.

El PSOE ha ganado 2904 votantes.
Más Madrid ha perdido 4044 votantes.
Los números son los oficiales, sacados de la web del diario El Mundo.
We spend roughly 10x as much time reading code as we do writing it. A tool or technique that makes you twice as "productive" at writing code *at best* makes you 5% more productive over all. Making your code easier to understand will have 10x the impact. But that doesn't sell tools or put developers out of work, so you won't be reading about it in Forbes.

@trwnh I wanted to respond to this. I'm not sure how to articulate, but I think there's sometimes a benefit to some redundant explicitness in protocols. So a chat message and note are the same, yeah. But mastodon at least has a confusing interface where you mention somebody in a purportedly secret note and now they get a copy, too, because addressing and scope is all mixed up with content.
Introducing a new object type means a new UI means a new interpretation. Necessary? Not at all. But practically, pushing people to add a new code path sometimes requires a new case for their switch statement.
English has two different terms for words that come into English from other languages. A 'calque' is translated from the source language. (E.g., flea market, beer garden, paper tiger) A 'loanword' is ported in its original form. (E.g., cafe, bazaar, kindergarten) Perhaps ironically, the word 'calque' is a loanword, while 'loanword' is a calque (from Ger. 'lehnwort').

Ok, to install [and build] git-tiny, you need Ruby, tcl, Python, ipython, cython, Lua, Perl, mercurial. gcc (despite clang being part of the system), redis, subversion, and w3m.
A total of 604 ports.
This is f'ing insane for a "tiny" port. (yes, a majority of it is build tools that aren't needed at runtime, but still it shows how bloating modern software packages are.
Happy #worldgothday 🖤🦇🖤
IMHO, the real concern isn't the technology itself, but the economic pressures from the investor class and capitalism.

@mjgardner @icing actually, being liberal in accepting things is not a good idea either. If it violates the protocol, eject, close, kill, abort. At once. That leads to better code and protocols in the longer run.
@petealexharris @cstross It's true. A running joke amongst my peers is that any AI news headline can replace "AI" with "capitalism" and remain 100% true.
What would happen if the EICAR text string was posted in an #ActivityPub post? Would the Fediverse collapse? Fun to try.

No sé si el artículo que enlazas menciona este hecho, no lo he leído.
En parques que conozco bien, como la Quinta de la Fuente del Berro, fue una catástrofe.
@hispa@social.hispabot.freemyip.com sí, tienes razón.
Qué raro y qué trágico. No sé cómo irá la legislación allí en la «land of the free», pero aquí es obligatorio que las salas refrigeradas (y otras salas estancas como salas limpias) tengan picaportes para abrirlas desde dentro.

@charlie_root@annihilation.social #OpenBSD is great for the desktop. I've used it on my laptop for years; had to replace the OS back to #Linux just for the battery usage, but will get back to it whenever possible.
@rb3n@mastodon.social @VictorMoral@mastodon.social sí que es un lujo poder tener una vida "Whatsapp-free". Yo tengo a tanta gente ahí que me es imposible zafarme de él.

Me parece razonable que se muestre en lugar de descargarlo (de hecho, creo que la operación por defecto de cualquier Content-Type text/XXXX debería ser mostrarlo).
Pero dado que Markdown no es una especificación clara ni única (hay un montón de variantes), preferiría que Firefox no se hiciera aún más gordo con otro intérprete + validador + conversor a html.

on computer botherers as an endless supply of enthusiastic marks [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
i was thinking about stuff like big web APIs for social media sites going paywalled (or just breaking because of mismanagement by jackass oligarchs), and i was like i wonder if this will teach programmers a lesson - some kind of "gosh, maybe protocols were good after all" moment.
and then immediately: of course it won't. programmers are eternally looking to get scammed.
and then i thought: "you can't cheat an honest man."
...
on computer botherers as an endless supply of enthusiastic marks [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
that's the root of it, a lot of ways. as a class, we are not honest persons. we're grifters and cheaters and scabs, almost definitionally. our stock in trade is the betrayal of labor, the extraction of surplus value from angles on automation, or often more honestly from ideas that assholes with money have about how surplus value will be extracted, or whatever.
and then we get scammed so hard because we think we're doin' the scams.
"(W)hat we are witnessing is the wealthiest companies in history (Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon …) unilaterally seizing the sum total of human knowledge that exists in digital, scrapable form and walling it off inside proprietary products, many of which will take direct aim at the humans whose lifetime of labor trained the machines without giving permission or consent."

Everytime I read people experiences like this one (and it's getting increasingly common), I wonder why people keep using Apple systems at all.
“People who criticize new technologies are sometimes called Luddites, but it’s helpful to clarify what the Luddites actually wanted. The main thing they were protesting was the fact that their wages were falling at the same time that factory owners’ profits were increasing, along with food prices. They were also protesting unsafe working conditions, the use of child labor, and the sale of shoddy goods that discredited the entire textile industry. The Luddites did not indiscriminately destroy machines; if a machine’s owner paid his workers well, they left it alone. The Luddites were not anti-technology; what they wanted was economic justice. They destroyed machinery as a way to get factory owners’ attention. The fact that the word #Luddite is now used as an insult, a way of calling someone irrational and ignorant, is a result of a smear campaign by the forces of capital.”

Ayer vi a este perro en el parque.
Estaba jugando él solo: subía su pelota a lo alto de la pendiente, esperaba a que cogiera velocidad y cuando casi se le escapaba corría a por ella, la cazaba y la volvía a subir hasta lo alto. No fue casual: lo hizo varias veces. Lo hacía adrede.
He tenido perro y sé lo listos que son pero no dejan de sorprenderme.
The thing is, if you suppress comments like that, then you may think that people like that aren't out there, and that they won't use these systems in that way.This is a devastating truth.
Please, Jon, forget about the goats, we need you.

Y aquella que las tetas se recubre,
que tú no ves, con trenzas desatadas,
y todo el cuerpo cubre con su pelo,
fue Manto, que corrió por muchas tierras;
y luego se afincó donde naci,
por lo que un poco quiero que me escuches:
Después de que su padre hubiera muerto,
y la ciudad de Baco esclavizada,
ella gran tiempo anduvo por el mundo.
