I'm not following the thread, so things may have changed.
Más tarde me he dado cuenta de que empleando el correo electrónico las discusiones no tienen sentido y que más allá del duelo al amanecer no merece la pena discutir con gente que se ha construido un personaje público y saca sus garbanzos de ahí. Entre eso y los palmeros, a los que el tuitstar SÍ responde por que necesita tenerles en cuenta, es difícil estar a gusto; de hecho el término "pocosfollower" es el indicativo de una época.
Pero sí que he pasado mucho tiempo allí obteniendo enlaces y enterándome de polémicas para pasar el rato y olvidar cómo estoy y quién soy así que tampoco es que lo haya dejado hasta el sábado. Una vez que tengo mi servidor en el fediverso (con #snac) tengo siempre un lugar que considero mío. Por esa parte estoy cubierto.
Ahora estoy intentando ver qué aparece en BlueSky y de momento están todos con una limpia tremenda de nazis y demás chusma que está funcionando al parecer. También cuentas estupendas que estaban permanentemente candadas en twitter ahora actúan en abierto y son una delicia de seguir. Pero el lugar sigue siendo extraño, como un barrio bajo asedio, y quiero ver dónde terminará cuando los dueños empiecen a monetizar.
If there's not an apparent one, it's easy to find.
I was on the verge of moving to Hetzner when I read this.
Me corrijo: montar un sistema para enviar correo también es trivial; lo que es difícil es que tus correos lleguen y no queden marcados como SPAM.
Please, keep writing them. Also, your prose is very fresh and entertaining.
In 2021, I sent an email saying that, given the situation, I would not be able to keep your machines running with the current infrastructure. You replied that the funds are allocated "for migration to a cloud-based solution," so the machines must be kept running as they are. I strongly suggest you reconsider: your connections are unstable and slow, it would be impossible to work (via Remote Desktop, Windows servers) in such conditions - from over 30 thin clients. You responded that the budget is now allocated for this, and that the consultant assured you everything would be perfect.
The migration will never happen – after spending tens of thousands of euros – due to "lack of connection quality."
I "forgive" you.
At the beginning of 2023, I wrote to you that there are two critical issues that will soon compromise the security and reliability of the machines. You replied that you are "working on the plan for migration to a centralized solution in one of your locations." I responded that the connectivity is inadequate, that that location has data center flooding issues (it should at least be moved to an upper floor), and that, in case of problems, all your 9 locations would be down because of it. Therefore, given the situation, it would be better to keep a server and a replica at each site, with offsite backups, ensuring they are current and consistent.
Minimal financial investment, maximum uptime.
You replied that "the defined path is now set, so we are proceeding with it" because a "consultant has guaranteed maximum reliability."
I withdrew, predicting disasters and for the same reason: they present themselves elegantly, with glossy catalogs and buzzwords – they sure seem credible and modern!
Go ahead, it’s your money and your data.
This morning at 5:30, you woke up me because your location had electrical issues, and the other branches are facing external connectivity problems due to the (same) Internet provider (and the backup, which uses the same channels as the primary provider, unlike what the vendors had promised).
A downtime of at least 3 days is expected.
Everything is down. You want me to take the backups (made by others, I don't even know how), and restore the old servers in the branches (from 2015), as you believe it would be possible to resume work only this way – as suggested by the "elegant consultant."
I replied that I wish you good luck and went back to sleep with a clear conscience.

Because this is the talk of the #internet again: you don't preserve digital media by stuffing the One True Version in an #archive. Make countless copies and scatter them to the wind. Make each a different format. You don't know which of them will still be readable next decade, so *don't try to guess*.
That goes for analog media too. The Library of Alexandria contained copies. Many classic paintings only survived as copies.
Copying is how life itself beats death. Embrace it.
You don't need to be a futurism savant to notice the connection and extrapolate a certain kind of future from these 2 sentences:
'Thursday afternoon in #SanFrancisco: On one side of Mission Street, hotel workers chanted and banged on a drum outside the Marriott Marquis, part of a monthslong strike for higher wages and more #jobs. On the other, a tech company’s billboard proclaimed, “Stop #hiring humans.”'

Y, entre esas webs tan especializadas está, estaba, Linkedin y para la que he descubierto un pequeño truco para conseguir que, al menos puedas enviar la petición de cierre.
Todas los documentos que he visto señalan que hay que ir a los ajustes y en la sección de seguridad elegir la opción de "Cerrar cuenta". Hasta ahí bien, ¿no? Entonces te preguntan por el motivo, le dices cual, luego te muestran a personas de las que vas a perderte publicaciones y te entra la risa floja. (¿Perderme publicaciones? Pero si nadie envía nada que merezca la pena. Ojo, al menos de los que tengo bajo mis "contactos").
Bueno, pues una vez superada la cuestión tienes un pequeño formulario donde debes escribir la contraseña y marca -si lo quieres- una casilla para no recibir comunicaciones de la empresa. Después se activa un botón que reza "Hecho" y ...
Y nada, porque el botón no hay manera de que se active. No la hay porque como he puesto una contraseña compleja y enorme -y uso un gestor de contraseñas- no se me ocurrió escribirla a mano si no pegarla.
No, pegarla no funciona. Y escribir la contraseña supersegura y compleja es una locura. Así que el paso previo es cambiar la contraseña por algo como "adiosatodos" y reiniciar el proceso entrando a manita la frase.
Y ahí sí. Ahí sí que funciona. Ahora voy con el resto de las webs: infojobs, trabajos.com, y varias más que no producen más que ruido. Ya veremos si es sencillo o también tengo que aprender cosas que no quiero.
This is the kind of HR diversity training we need.

A screenshot from a social media site. It reads:
so my brother was telling me about this human resources certification he attended a while ago. in a panel, the panelist asked a bunch of people in attendance, “who here knows if an applicant for a job s right for it in under 60 seconds?"
hands shot up around the room, people smug about their ability to “weed out the riff-raff* when it came to hiring for their fortune 500.
“you should all be fired and probably in jail." they said, waiting for the whole room to get uncomfortable, then continued, “because the only things you can really learn about a human being in under 60 seconds are all things that are fueled by prejudices and biases covered by american law. so now, i will teach you how to stop being racist, sexist, judgmental assholes and hire people that will better your company of employ
So law enforcement wants us to believe 'The Adjuster' went from being professionally-trained and calculating (even leaving a haunting message inscribed on shell casings) to someone who would be caught in a McDonald's with incriminating evidence on his person.
I'm not buying it.
Not one bit.
@kiwix Send them a request for information under #GDPR rules, specifically article 15, forcing them to send you *all* data they have. Hetzner is based in Germany, so they have to comply. Template at: https://www.datarequests.org/blog/sample-letter-gdpr-access-request/
Ok, here’s my first IT Horror Story of the Saturday night. It's a bit long.
I was at a client, a healthcare facility, to replace some hard drives. They didn’t want to spend money, so we had to keep the current setup running, which was outdated and unreliable.
Now I can say it: they didn’t want to spend because the general manager’s goal was to give work to a company of his friends, who were already providing support on two VMs, and he wanted to hand everything over to them. The IT manager hadn’t yet understood the financial interests of these people and still believed everything was in good faith, that they really didn’t have the funds. We were holding everything together with duct tape, but it was working and stable. I had set up a "cluster" with OpenNebula and GlusterFS for storage (later replaced with MooseFS and then with Ceph), using all available hardware.
We scheduled an intervention and notified everyone to disconnect and shut down the machines by 12:30. By 13, we had completed the backups, aiming to start the intervention by 14 and get the work up and running by 15:30. The goal was to update the systems and check the disks. We shut down all the VMs, had everyone disconnect. It was lunchtime.
We updated the servers, rebooted them. One of the disks started throwing errors. GlusterFS, for some reason I never really investigated (I have my theories, which I’ll share later, but from that day forward, GlusterFS no longer exists for me), decided to overwrite both that disk and its replica with zeros. I hadn’t changed anything.
Panic – there were backups, but on a USB 2 disk (old servers, no USB 3)! I immediately stopped everything. I was almost fainting. The IT manager didn’t understand what had happened, so I explained it to him. He announced to everyone that we would cancel the rest of the intervention, restore from backup, and have the work back up by 15:30 as planned, prioritizing the most critical VMs.
The "competing" company reached out. They had powered on one of their VMs and started "doing their own interventions." Even though they had been warned not to do anything. And they complained "we" had lost some of their data. Of course, the manager and those guys went "carpe diem": they put me under accusation, saying I had undoubtedly made a mistake that led to "lost data." I wrote a technical report explaining what I had seen, noting various SSH logins from those guys during the intervention. The "history" had been erased. Of course, not by me.
They continued to harass me for a while. The last thing they asked was for me to go to a meeting "to explain in person." They tried to schedule it the day before my wedding. And they knew it.
They threatened to ask me for an unspecified (high) financial compensation for 'the lost data.' What lost data? The ones that, allegedly, the other company would have entered in the meantime.
Final result: no problem for me (I hadn’t done anything wrong), the backups were fine, they only calmed down when I proved (logs in hand) that I wasn’t the only one connected to that machine, and my witnesses (two colleagues and the IT manager) had seen all my actions, confirming I hadn’t done anything wrong.
In the end: I realized they would do it again and I left the client – even the IT manager decided to resign and change jobs. The general manager managed to install, at astronomical figures, the company he wanted to place. After two months, they got their hands on the system and broke it. They asked me for assistance, which I refused. At any price.
After a few years, I found out that the general manager ended up in jail for corruption, bribes, and for favoring his friend companies in many sectors.
That day, I celebrated.

Okay so the main thing I'm learning from all the US healthcare horror stories being dropped the past few days is that the United States is a ghost story told to smaller nations of what will happen to them if they're bad.
If a site badgers you to turn off your ad blocker, remember that advertisers, not you, are the site’s real audience.
You are what the site sells.
Ad/tracker blocking is self-care.
In recent days, I've received a few messages and noticed some posts regarding my articles on the blog. The criticism is mainly about the fact that, in some cases, I don't document "every" step but assume a basic understanding of the topics discussed. For example, if the article is about "how to install Y within a FreeBSD jail," I don't document how to install FreeBSD, what jails are, or how they should be managed, etc. In some cases, I refer to previous articles, but my aim is never to create "for dummies" tutorials. I believe that self-hosting, if done without awareness, creates more problems than it solves.
I’ll probably need to publish an article specifically about this—and maybe link it to a menu at the top of the page to explain it. My approach has usually been to provide tools to understand how I solved a problem, not to hand out "ready-made solutions"—the goal is to help people understand, not to mindlessly copy without comprehension.
After all, the blog is called "IT Notes," and they are my notes, turned into articles, mostly related to direct experiences I’ve just had. It’s not called "IT Course"—those, when necessary, I create in other ways.

I'm truly a fool. 😆No, you're not. You are a professional and a good human being. They are the ones that are very unprofessional.
Mi experiencia es diferente. Yo no me corto en sonreír, ser afable y hasta simpático, respetando las distancias y sin intentar ser gracioso. Muy pocas veces he tenido otra respuesta que simpatía de vuelta y buen rollo, y cuando no ha sido así, entiendo que no es el momento ni la situación y paso a un modo correcto y distante.
Yo soy un tipo bastante sociable y me resulta fácil entender las señales que mi interlocutor/a me manda. Entiendo que no todo el mundo tiene esa facilidad (pero, conociéndote como te conozco, creo que tú también la tienes).
When I talk about the importance of going all in on the Fediverse, I speak based on experience.
At Opera we built a massive user community. When I quit, we had something like 35 million registered users and 35 million monthly visitors.
The new Opera management did not see the value of that. They believed it was cheaper and better to just use Facebook and that investing in your own community was a waste of money. So they closed down MyOpera and built a following on Facebook and Twitter instead. Then they got caught by the bait and switch when Facebook changed and you would no longer reach your audience, without paying. Later on Twitter changed as well.
This is important to explain to companies and institutions as they go shopping for social media sites to invest in. The best investment is clearly in your own site, being part of the Fediverse. It is not even all that expensive to do. It may take longer to build, but at least it is your own.
Not saying you cannot build a following on those other sites, but your long term strategy should be the Fediverse with your own server.
We try to lead the way here and thus we build Vivaldi Social. Not just for our selves, but to make a point and support the Fediverse.
For years, I misread the title as Lonely as an Eyesore.

What are Follow Packs?
They are just packaged topical lists of up to 35 accounts you can follow from your Mastodon or other Fediverse account. You can follow the entire pack by importing a file. And the entire pack loads into a list, so it becomes a feed for that subject. You can also just browse for accounts you might want to follow individually.
So, they’re like Bluesky Starter Packs?
Yes, but not quite as convenient. It’s not hard, but because Mastodon does not have a one-click way to do this, you need to download a follow pack file and then use Mastodon’s import facility. Instructions are provided in the directory and also below.
What Follow Packs are there?
Packs are being added all the time. Right now there are packs for Astronomy and Space, Climate, US Politics and Miscellany. For a current directory check out the Mastodon Migration FediBlog at: https://mastodonmigration.wordpress.com/2024/11/20/mastodon-follow-pack-directory-nov-20-2024/
How do I do do it?
Check out the latest directory at https://mastodonmigration.wordpress.com/2024/11/20/mastodon-follow-pack-directory-nov-20-2024/ . Basically determine which pack you want to follow and download the .csv then import the pack. Instructions are provided. Follows are loaded into a list in your account.
OK, but I don’t want to mess up my lists. What happens if I already follow an account in the pack?
That’s fine. The followed account will just be added to the new list, and if you already had that account in a list, it will now just be in both lists.
Can I then add more accounts to the list?
Sure! That’s the idea. Many of these accounts boost other great accounts in their topic area. You will quickly find additional accounts you will want to follow. When you do follow a new account add it immediately to the list by clicking the “…” button at the top of the profile and selecting “Add or Remove from lists”
What if I don’t like your pack list title?
Simply change it. Click on the list, then the gear icon and you can edit the list name and contents. Also, you can determine if you want to “Hide these posts from home” so they don’t clutter up your home feed.
What if I’ve been added to a list and I don’t want to be in it?
Every follow pack has a listed administrator. Message them to ask to be removed.
How do I know if my account is in a Follow Pack?
You can search through the directory. Also, whenever a new directory is posted all members of every pack are notified by being copied on the post.
What if I don’t want to follow accounts from Threads or Bluesky?
Any pack that contains Threads or Bluesky bridged accounts will have a special notice. Just don’t import one of them.

Mother Teresa was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction. — Christopher Hitchens
Bluesky lacks the one federated feature that is absolutely necessary for me to trust it: the ability to leave Bluesky and go to another host and continue to talk to the people I’ve entered into community with there. While there are many independently maintained servers that provide services to Bluesky and its users, there is only one Bluesky server. A federation of multiple servers, each a peer to the other, has been on Bluesky’s roadmap for as long as I’ve been following it, but they haven’t (yet) delivered it.https://doctorow.medium.com/https-pluralistic-net-2024-11-02-ulysses-pact-tie-yourself-to-a-federated-mast-b2f89bb5b4d8

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.

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.

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.

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.
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".
