Sinopsis:

Bran tuvo una adolescencia complicada, y su vida adulta no es mejor. Una sucesión de pérdidas familiares, una gran cicatriz en la cara y sus circunstancias personales han forjado en ella una personalidad esquiva.

Y como si fuera una maldición añadida, la protagonista hereda y debe hacerse cargo de una casa familiar, epicentro de buena parte de las desgracias que se abatieron sobre sus seres queridos.

Una visita a la enmohecida y arruinada vivienda, ubicada en un pequeño pueblo madrileño, sumergirá a Bran en una travesía angustiante por túneles oscuros, estancias claustrofóbicas y seres terroríficos.

    Suponía lo de la marca, no tenía ni idea de los términos imperial / fino. Yo siempre he pedido «cerveja grande» (haciendo lo que puedo con ese sonido j y mi defectuoso aparato fonador madrileño).

    ¡Estoy aprendiendo un montón en este hilo!

      Entiendo. La próxima vez no diré lo de la bica, probaré con pedir café y ya está. Gracias por la pista, soy lusófilo a muerte y no querría usar expresiones que den por hecho cosas que no son.

      No pillo lo de la «imperial de Sagres». Sé que es una marca de cerveza y una ciudad del sur. ¿Te refieres a pedirla en Oporto?

          Eso tenía entendido, que lo de bica es de Lisboa, pero en todos los sitios en los que he estado me han entendido (supongo que me detectaron como turista antes de abrir la boca 😆).

          Respecto al galão, ni idea. Lo he visto, pero nunca he tomado ninguno ni sé cuál es la proporción adecuada (tampoco estoy seguro de que me gustase).

              Entonces entiendo que te gustará el café poco cargado, ¿no? Porque el estilo de café a la portuguesa o italiana que a mí me gusta es demasiado fuerte para beberte un tanque.

                Yo lo tomo solo, sin hielo ni hostias. Si el sitio es «normal», pido un «café solo» y me lo ponen como debe ser, chiquitico y cargado. Si el sitio es un poco pijo, he aprendido a pedir un «espresso», porque a veces alguno se ha atrevido a ponerme un café enorme y aguado que es una mierda y que debe ser lo que se entiende por un café «americano» (es decir, un agua negra y traslúcida que no sabe a nada).

                Si es en Portugal, se pide una «bica», y te ponen el café más minúsculo y más riquísimo que hay en el mundo.

La mula es el resultado del cruce entre un burro y una yegua. Se producen en menor cantidad que las mulas, pues es más fácil combinar burros con yeguas que viceversa, ya que conseguir el embarazo en una burra es más difícil (una de cada siete burras puede concebir al ser cubierta por un caballo).»

Instead, we have created a world where we are literally subject to dozens (if not many more) attempts to rip us off every day. We've made a world that is much more predatory and hostile, and it is getting worse.

                                                                    Thus far, I've managed to avoid falling victim to any of these attempts. But I can only wonder when, as I get older and more confused and the scammers get more sophisticated, that will change. "When", rather than "if", seems like the relevant word here.

                                                                    Oh well...I guess I'll get more coffee and read more email, I'm sure that will make me feel better.

In the Slashdot case, real people will start following the link gradually, then will read the title, then maybe the subject, and then (those interested enough in) will click on the link.

Not people interested in what you may say at slightly different paces. Just automatic, powerful machines from all over the world. This is very similar to a DDoS.

                                                                          You will not only suffer when you post a very remarkable or clickbaity link. You'll suffer everytime, even if no real human reach your site.

                                                                                      Hello everyone! I wanted to share some exciting updates about the development of BSD Mail, our privacy-focused email service designed with robustness, security, and transparency in mind. Here’s a deep dive into the technical choices I've made, focusing on my use of open source solutions and open protocols:

                                                                                      🌍 **Servers & Location**

                                                                                      - We're running on two physical servers:
                                                                                      - One hosted by OVH in France
                                                                                      - Another by Hetzner in Germany
                                                                                      - Both servers operate on FreeBSD with NVMe drives in a ZFS mirror configuration for speed and data integrity.

                                                                                      🔒 **Virtualization & Security**

                                                                                      - We utilize jails on both servers to ensure isolated environments for different services, managed via BastilleBSD. On one server, jails are set up directly on the hardware, whereas the other server employs nested jails.
                                                                                      - Each server hosts a bhyve VM running OpenBSD with OpenSMTPD for handling SMTP duties securely.

                                                                                      🔗 **Networking**

                                                                                      - A Wireguard setup connects the two servers, facilitating routing capabilities so that jails and VMs can communicate seamlessly, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6.

                                                                                      📧 **Email Services**

                                                                                      - **Dovecot** is configured for maildir replication across the servers using Dovecot sync, ensuring email availability and redundancy.
                                                                                      - **Rspamd** instances are tied to local KeyDB jails, set up in master-master replication for consistent and reliable spam detection and greylisting.
                                                                                      - **ClamAV** runs in corresponding jails for virus scanning, maintaining a high level of security.
                                                                                      - **SOGo** provides a web interface for email management, connected to MySQL databases in master-master replication to handle sessions and authentication smoothly.

                                                                                      💾 **Data Management**

                                                                                      - Email data is stored on separate, encrypted ZFS datasets to secure emails at rest.
                                                                                      - MySQL databases are used for storing credentials and managing sessions for SOGo, also in a master-master replication setup. Importantly, all passwords are securely hashed using bcrypt, ensuring they are salted and safe.

                                                                                      🔎 **Monitoring & Reliability**

                                                                                      - Our DNS is managed through BunnyNet, which continuously monitors our server status. Should one server—or a specific service—become unavailable, DNS configurations are dynamically adjusted to avoid directing users to the affected IP until full service is restored.

                                                                                      🌐 **Commitment to Open Source and Open Protocols**

                                                                                      - Every component of BSD Mail is built exclusively using open source software and open protocols. This commitment is crucial for ensuring data freedom and the reliability of the solutions we use.

                                                                                      This setup not only emphasizes our commitment to privacy and security but also our dedication to maintaining an open and transparent platform.
                                                                                      We're excited to bring you a service where your privacy, data integrity, and freedom are prioritized. Stay tuned for more updates!

Existe el (levísimo, efímero y decepcionante) chispazo de euforia de los primeros tragos. Y luego el factor desinhibidor, que ayuda a sobrepasar ciertas ansiedades sociales (aunque eso trae toda una colección de problemas aún más graves porque solo "tapa").

                                                                                                                                              - El agua con gas. Con limón es refrescante y está buena. Igual cuesta acostumbrarse.
                                                                                                                                              - La tónica. Es verdad que tiene mucho azúcar, pero si cambias el ritmo y la bebes muy despacio, te toman solo una mientras los colegas se zampan tres birras.
                                                                                                                                              - El bitter sin alcohol. También tiene mucho azúcar, en lo demás, como lo que te he dicho de la tónica.
                                                                                                                                              - Un zumo de tomate. Está muy bueno y se deja tomar despacio. Además, es mucho más saciante que ninguna otra cosa, así que te anima a tomártelo con calma y a comer menos papas alioli.
                                                                                                                                              - Un café solo con hielo. Nunca llegué a acostumbrarme, pero hay quien se apaña bien tomando eso. Lo puedes pedir descafeinado si te acelera demasiado.

                                                                                                                                              Yo odio las cocacolas y las fantas y toda esa mierda que sabe a medicina, aún sin azúcar, así que para mí nunca han sido una opción.

Es una solución para los ricos.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  My friend Evan Henshaw-Plath wrote recently about some concerns with ActivityPub. I want to go over his concerns one by one and give some assessment of how accurate and important I think they are. Rabble’s words in italics; my responses in just normal text.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  • User identities are tied to a server. This is only partially true; your user identity is tied to a domain, not a server. But most servers only handle one domain, and most people don’t move their domains between servers. We have a section on domain portability between servers on the ActivityPub Data Portability report.
                                                                                                                                                                                                    Using domains is also how much of the Internet works. Email addresses are tied to a domain; Web sites are tied to a domain. You can move the domain between different implementations transparently. It’s a really robust architecture that has stood the test of time for almost 50 years.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  • Users can’t migrate between servers. Partially true. Rabble covers the essentials; you can move followers and not much else. It’s also possible to move your “stuff” between identities; that’s most of what our Data Portability task force is working on.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  • On a single server, it is impossible to change your username! Somewhat true. ActivityPub identities are URLs like https://social.example/user/vtles1XgZkPUEulBsFmRX . That identity URL is immutable; you can’t change it. Some implementations include a username in that url, like https://other.example/user/evanp. With that kind of server software, it’s true, you can’t change the username.
                                                                                                                                                                                                    Also, we use a standard called Webfinger that maps an identity string like username@domain to an URL. You can read about it in the ActivityPub Webfinger report. Some servers use that string, instead of the ActivityPub ID, as the unique ID for a remote user. That’s discouraged, but if someone does that, changing your user ID will make you no longer findable for those other servers. I think as we stabilize our use of WebFinger, some of these usages are going to get better.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  • Fediverse servers have total control over your account and data. True. This is the “federation” part of the fediverse. It’s how Web sites and email work. Don’t use a fediverse server without a good trust relationship with your server admin; ideally someone you have a business relationship with, or your employer, or your university. Same goes for email!
                                                                                                                                                                                                    It also means that if you control your own server, you have total control over your account and data. That’s a feature, not a bug.
                                                                                                                                                                                                    Another option is using a cooperative server, like cosocial.ca or social.coop. A cooperative is a legal structure in which members pay for and manage their own service. I think cooperatives are awesome.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  • The fediverse is a network of fiefdoms, each server admin having total control over their users. This seems about the same as the previous statement, but OK. I think the key strength of the fediverse here is that we can have dozens of different models for server governance — coops, enterprises, city libraries, family servers, individual servers. That level of experimentation is a feature, not a bug. Governance is not baked into the protocol.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  • Each kind of fediverse server is isolated. This one is just plain wrong. ActivityPub is based on an open data standard called Activity Streams 2.0 (AS2) which models social data. There is an extensive standard vocabulary that can represent Web content like text, images, video and audio, and the social graph, but also well-known social interactions like check-ins, events, and groups. More importantly, Activity Streams 2.0 is extensible, meaning you can add properties to existing types, or whole new types of objects or interactions. And every ActivityPub server is built to handle AS2.
                                                                                                                                                                                                    What is true is that we have had a lot of servers that only handle a subset of the AS2 vocabulary, and reject content they don’t know how to handle. This is mostly due to mimicking the siloed social networks; we’ve gotten used to thinking of different social networks for different kinds of content. I think this is changing, especially as new kinds of content hit the network. Developers are just learning how to effectively handle extension content with fallback representations. I look forward to this improving over time.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  • The fediverse has no privacy; there is no system of end-to-end encrypted messaging. The first part is false; you can mark your posts as followers-only, or directed to a single person, or a group of people. Servers enforce this privacy. You can also mark that you don’t want your public posts to be indexable or your public account to be discoverable.
                                                                                                                                                                                                    However, the second part is true; we don’t have end-to-end encryption. So, if you send a private message to someone on another server, you message can be read by both your admin and their admin. It’s stored in the clear on both servers. This is also how email works, as well as most direct messages on commercial social networks. However, it’s something worth working on. I’ve sketched out an architecture for end-to-end encryption over ActivityPub, and I’ve got a proposal out to work on it for Summer of Protocols. I think it will be good to level this up!
                                                                                                                                                                                                  • The fediverse has no system for micropayments. This is true. The fediverse is also first and foremost for social networking — connecting to friends, family, colleagues and neighbours. Most of these interactions are not mediated by payment; in fact, payment cheapens those interactions.
                                                                                                                                                                                                    However, there are other relationship types on the fediverse — supporting creators, journalists, or publishers. The main way to do this today is with paid subscriptions; for example, you can subscribe to evanplus@prodromou.pub to get access to premium content I publish. You have to send me US$5 out-of-band or I won’t approve the follow; that’s the state of play right now on the fediverse.
                                                                                                                                                                                                    I think in-band payments are kind of cool for this kind of work, as well as for marketplaces — buying and selling services or goods over the fediverse. I think the easiest structure is adding payment URLs like a PayPal account, or blockchain wallets like a Bitcoin Lightning address.
                                                                                                                                                                                                  • Lastly, and most importantly for me, the culture of fediverse server admins and developers is vindictive. I don’t think this is the case; I love the culture of the fediverse, which is playful, conversational, and collaborative.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  I think there are a plenty of good points in Rabble’s critique, but there’s one way that I think he’s extremely wrong. There is still a lot to do in the ActivityPub ecosystem, but we have the architecture and extension mechanisms to make them possible. It’s totally not required to go start a whole new social protocol to build those things in from scratch. In fact, it’s a real mistake; it’s far better to work from the existing standard and build on it. Open standards like ActivityPub have a legitimacy that ad hoc systems like Nostr can never have, and it’s the reason that there is so much interesting development going on in the ActivityPub world.
