Comprar LA ATALAYA RECORTADA CONTRA EL CIELO (editorial Libros del Futuro)
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.

Portada de LA ATALAYA RECORTADA CONTRA EL CIELO
The idea of starter packs and introductions are nice and all, but then this happens:
"omg someone who self labels as a zionist put me on an antisemite list on bluesky" (real case, anonymized)
People added to such (publicly shareable) lists and starter packs (two different things) do not get notified at all! Furthermore, they cannot remove themselves from such packs. Yes, you can report, but that might be too late.
Where is the informed consent? Why is it not a requirement to give consent before one shows up on lists. Why can consent to inclusion not be withdrawn? I mean, this stuff is trivial to do in a centralized app developed by a company with a lot of staff and millions in funding. Yet, it doesn't happen.
Move fast and break someone's life.
Joder, en esto no había caído yo. Ahora resulta que comprar casa es también una especie de juegos del hambre trampeados. Estaría bien saber cuántas personas trabajan ahora mismo para dar con soluciones al problema de la vivienda. No importa de qué partido, es por saber si hay alguien pensando en ello y no haciendo el paripé.
Bueno, la solución de la derecha es siempre construir más vivienda y eso está superbien porque tenemos mogollón de pruebas de lo bien que ha funcionado en este país tiempo atrás.
Es que todo empieza con las definiciones. Te dicen que cincuenta kilómetros es aceptable como distancia al lugar de trabajo y a partir de ahí date por jodido. 😞
This afternoon, an acquaintance joined a Mastodon instance and asked me which "celebrities" are present in the Fediverse, as if it were important to determine the value of a social network based on that.
I told him that the most important user in the Fediverse is him. Just as it’s you, reading this. Someone who has decided to interact with others freely. Who has chosen to trust their administrator (or create their own instance) more than they trust those who run traditional, monolithic, centralized social networks.
So, I want to thank all the friends of BSD Cafe, whether local or not, for being here and making this place what it is. And I thank all my friends in the Fediverse, who make my timeline lively, interesting, intelligent, fun, and thought-provoking - every day, at any time.

ME: Hello computer! Please show me what I was doing recently
COMPUTER IN THE 1980's: l cease to exist when I am powered off. Please start whatever you were doing from scratch
COMPUTER IN THE 2000's: Yep here you go champ
COMPUTER IN THE 2020's: I stored 10,000 identical copies of what you were doing in 500 different global datacentres at a carbon footprint equivalent to leaving a semi-trailer idling 24/7 and also sent a copy to the FBI just to be safe. Let me know which one you want and I'll do my best to figure it out. By the way here are 10 things which are similar to what you were doing and 9 of them are ads. Do you like this? Please select "I love this very much" or "I'll be in love with this later" to continue
He visto muchísimos programas que no utiliza, especialmente VPN y "aceleradores del sistema", que muestran ventanitas informativas de muchas formas y a las que hay que contestar, patrón oscuro mediante, que no te interesa, gracias, me cago en tus muelas, etc., para que se cierren.
Lo peor es que al desinstalarlos han redoblado esfuerzos y han vuelto a sacar otras muchas ventanas más y, como no parecía suficiente, abriendo también varias páginas web. En todas ellas me recuerdan que desinstalarlo es una mala elección y que me ofrecen un descuento si compro una licencia del programa que estoy desinstalando. ¿Tan difícil es de pillar o es que son unos cabrones desalmados?
Google Chrome, por cierto, estaba desaparecido en el sistema sin saber cómo y es su navegador favorito. He tenido que desinstalarlo (fallo), acceder a la página de descargas de Google vía Microsoft Edge primero (imposible con todas las pantallas que me ha abierto para preguntarme cosas) y luego con Firefox.
Descargar, instalar y ... ¡reiniciar el sistema! Tampoco sé por qué pero los enlaces de escritorio y barra de tareas NO reconocían el programa al que estaban apuntando que antes no estaba pero ahora sí. La hostia, oiga.
Aún me queda por quitarle Skype corporativo que ella tampoco utiliza y que se abre siempre, quieras o no, al iniciar sesión. Curiosamente no aparece como aplicación instalada (curioso para mí, que soy rarito para estas cosas) aunque sí aparece mencionado cuando abres el menú ese que está abajo a la izquierda e incluso te indica que puedes desinstalarlo. Pues guay, ¿no? Pues no, porque te abre el navegador de archivos en un directorio concreto y allá te las compongas.
Supongo que estará instalado junto con el Office y habrá que decirle que, joder, NO se abra en cada comienzo de sesión. Como ella tenía que irse pues lo hemos dejado para otro momento. Al menos ha recuperado el Chrome y el sistema va más fluido. Y únicamente se aprecia porque no hay que andar cerrando ventanitas.
Ah, y en la barra del sistema, la de abajo y lo digo porque no sé si hay más, también aparece el tiempo, la cotización del IBEX, el tráfico y noticias de salseo (Nuria Roca te enseña cómo debes ir vestida a trabajar, por ejemplo) entre otras cosas. No veo forma de eliminarlo pero al menos he podido quitar lo del IBEX y las noticias. Esta chica, rozando el medio siglo, no tiene mucho interés en que la enseñen ahora cómo vestir. Me ha dicho que ya sabe. Y yo la creo.
Y ya. No me extraña que tantos y tantos informáticos aprecien y promocionen windows como sistema. Tienen trabajo para siempre jamás.
Decentralised social media site Bluesky has gone down under the load of new users.
Not to worry, I'll just use one of the other decentralised instances. One of the many wonders of decentralisation.
... What do you mean, there aren't any?
... If a central server goes down, I can't get onto this oh-so-decentralised network?
I guess this must just be how decentralisation works!

A printed notice posted on a plain brick wall. There is a photo of a stairwell on the flyer. Flyer text reads: "Warning! If you see stairs, do not ascend. This building has no fourth floor. The voices calling you up do not belong to your loved ones." The alert is slightly wrinkled, as though a mostly incorporeal hand tried and failed to rip it do

Se la conocía como «la ciudad de las corrientes de agua». Y este mural, que tiene el texto «fui sobre agua edificada, mis muros de fuego son», hace referencia a eso. Lo de los «muros de fuego» viene de que las murallas eran de pedernal, y los flechazos contra ella soltaban chispas.

Chickens Coming Home
/
I woke up at one A.M. and checked the election results.
/
Then I couldn't sleep.
/
I was thinking about my great-great-grandfather.
/
He fought in the Civil War
/
The first one - for the Confederacy.
/
And when my father talked about him, he always referred to him in the same way -
/
As a SUCKER.
/
Him and all the other white subsistence farmers in the part of eastern Mississippi where the soil was no good. SUCKERS.
/
They found bigotry and superiority so compelling that they would act against their own economic interest - even LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES -
/
To protect the monstrously ill-gotten fortunes of a small white Southern elite.
/
We live - now - in an oligarchy
/
And the oligarchs got the president they wanted.
/
And some of their voters - the poor, the weak, the pregnant - will find themselves laying down their lives to protect the fortunes of the oligarchs.
/
Am I a sucker?
I vote for candidates beholden to the oligarchs who value precedence and decorum.
/
So probably.
/
At three I fell back asleep and dreamt of the last piece of chicken in the world.
/
Everyone fighting over it
/
Tearing off the last pieces of flesh as they get smaller and smaller
/
Gnawing on the cartilage
/
Until nothing was left by the bones.

America is now at the stage of the game of Monopoly where it's obvious who has won because they own everything, but you have to keep going round and round the board while they drain the last of your money from you.
This is the point where some people choose to flip the board.
Y los del grupo de teatro en el que estoy, que le quedan dos telediarios conmigo a este paso, me dicen que me relaje, que me tranquilice, que siempre puede ser peor.
Me cago en todo.
Claro que puede ser peor. ¿Y qué? ¿Dejamos de lado cualquier queja porque siempre puede ser peor? ¿Qué chorrada es esa?
En fin, que luego, cuando me vaya, se preguntarán qué ha pasado; me lo preguntarán a mí, se lo explicaré y, ¿sabéis qué? Que terminarán diciéndome que estas cosas "hay que hablarlas".

I've been disappointed to see journalists I respect sticking with Twitter, but the more dangerous Musk gets, the less I can maintain that respect.
Non-Americans watching the US struggle to decide between electing a professional career politician or a racist serial sex offender with 34 felony convictions and the IQ of a spoon
No offense, but the more I hear of what has been done in the name of being “socially conservative” in the US, the more it seems to be bigotry with a bow on it. Racism, misogyny, homophobia and now transphobia.
And it feels infuriatingly disingenuous to call clinging to hate and subjugation as “trying to conserve” anything.
If all you want to “conserve” is your systemically enforced supremacy, then you’re just an oppressive asshole.
Ok, fine, I’ll take back the “no offense”.
Pro tip: if you cover the display on your appliances with a piece of tape, you never have to reset the clock.
I have to stop posting active links to our content on Mastodon.
Every time I do so now, it brings down our website for up to 5 minutes.
We've tried pretty much every claimed fix, including third party caching (which in turn breaks other elements of our website's dynamic display abilities), code changes and such on our back end code, and more stuff I don't understand at all (but have spent money paying our WP developer to implement). None of it has worked.
The #fediverse powers that be need to fix this growing problem of the #MastoDDos effect on websites. The more followers and more servers your followers are from, the more impact this has on literally bringing a website to its knees with all the DB calls.
For instance, this morning, I posted the lovely article our creative writer Ethan wrote, which ended up only getting 2 boosts and one "favourite" here, but it brought down our website for 4 minutes and 12 seconds.
That's not sustainable.
If you've noticed that the Mastodon stampede DDoS is back, hammering your servers even though you have applied countermeasures -- that's because they CHANGED THEIR FUCKING USER AGENT for no good reason and without telling anybody.
Ok, yes, technically the plans were on display in a toilet with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard".
Prepend "^Mastodon\/|" to your regexps.

Actually, Twitter isn't just a room full of nazis. It's a room full of nazis in a building owned by a nazi who is currently working to get a nazi dictator elected, where your participation helps the nazi cause.
So, yeah. Gonna remember that.
When someone says that they just can't quit Twitter, what I hear is, "I am comfortable in a room full of nazis," and I will remember that about them.
When I want to give visibility to an awful post, I just link to it in my own one, prefixed by a bitter and awry comment.
I also wish social networks were designed differently, but it's too late.
Right so my personal #snac instance seems to be working ok and I have managed to import all of the accounts I follow here on bsd.cafe . I'll still be using this account but will try and see how I get on with snac. You may notice that it always shows that I have no followers and that I'm not following anyone. This is intentional by the author of #snac as they feel numbers should not matter which is quite true. Feel free to follow me over there if you haven't already and hello to any new followers.

All of this is hosted in my #HomeLab on a #FreeBSd server jail running over my home FTTP connection. I'm impressed I've gotten this far. Next I'll be doing some html and css customisation's to theme it a little.
After getting to try the #Snac activity pub server developed by @grunfink on bsd.cafe thanks @stefano , I'm kind of tempted to spin up my own instance. Anyone here other than Stefano that runs their own instance ? Please share you pro's and con's plus any workarounds you have come up with.
Also how are you viewing / posting on mobile ? Are you just sticking with web or using the likes of #Tusky ?

We USians do not like to be reminded of the Chicago Haymarket Massacre, or our government systematically dismembering labour rights and organizations. Gov’t does not want us to know other countries are different, or to listen when the world talks about labour benefits and issues. So US Labour Day is intensely focused on outdoor family activities, & US Memorial Day outdoors at parades and picnics.
Meanwhile, Arbor, Earth, and National Parks Days are normal school/work days.

Fidelity recently valued what was initially a $19.66 million Twitter stake in its Blue Chip Growth Fund at about 72 percent less than when Musk purchased Twitter, a valuation that has remained relatively steady. The Post applied the 72 percent drop to the initial investor stakes reported in filings to the SEC as well as public comments and individual confirmations of entities’ involvement.
