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.

Here’s the brutal truth about mainstream success: You either need to be famous already, or you need to be willing to light yourself on fire for attention.

    En este caso a la duquesa no le falta razón. La concesión era por 60 años y ha terminado y debe volver a las manos de su propietaria. Pero debería abrir un debate importante y que no llega y con el PSOE en el poder (no municipal, quiero decir) menos aún.

    Durante 60 años el estado ha reparado, mantenido y promocionado el castillo. El parque adyacente que sufrió la misma suerte hace poco también. ¿Vamos a recuperar de alguna manera esas inversiones o como siempre además de puta ponemos la cama y el condón?

    O mejor aún, ¿cobraremos IBI o cualquier otro impuesto a la duquesa de marras y su casa nobiliaria o seguiremos igual, intentando negociar cualquier acuerdo porque la propiedad privada es intocable?

    Lo mismo tres millones de euros anuales de IBI la convencen de hacer una donación al estado español, que tanto quieren y por el que tanta sangre derramarían, y así todos ganamos.

    Hoy no tengo el día para pensar con equidad, lo reconozco. No obstante estoy harto de que ciertos lugares estén protegidos por el estado pero éste no tenga la más mínima potestad sobre ellos.

    This is the FediMeteo VPS's LibreNMS CPU graph.

    A significant spike occurs in the early afternoon, where the activity level reaches nearly 100, marking a sharp increase in activity. This spike coincides with the announcement by @FediFollows of new cities. Throughout most of the day, activity levels fluctuate between 10 and 40, with some peaks reaching up to 50 at different times. Notably, some of these levels coincide with backup operations. Early morning and late evening hours show lower activity levels, generally ranging between 10 and 20. The graph clearly highlights the midday burst of activity, followed by a return to more moderate levels throughout the rest of the day.

    The screenshot displays a time-series graph from the FediMeteo VPS (by LibreNMS), tracking activity levels over a 24-hour period. The x-axis represents time, and the y-axis shows the CPU level, ranging from 0 to 100. The graph consists of orange bars indicating the intensity of the activity.

        Patrick told me that they appreciate the project, that we can continue, and he provided me with tools to go beyond the allowed calls.
        At this point, I’m fixing a few things to improve the addition of countries and cities, and... we’re moving forward!

            So is there anybody out there who can explain this image?

            I bought this card in Korea some years ago after having seen this theme - a tiger and a rabbit seemingly getting stoned together - in a number of places. There must be a story behind it, but my meager search skills have never managed to turn it up. I do still love the image, though...

              Mutt is great in the TUI department. You must do some acrobatics regarding different configuration files if you use more than one account.

              Aerc (TUI) is also fine. It supports multiple accounts natively, but you can't move messages from one account to another (that I know of). I find the interface a little kludgy.

              But everybody and their dog is sending HTML mail these days, and though both programs do their best to convert to text / use the alternative plain text format, you always have the sinking feeling that you are missing something (and sometimes you really are missing something).

              Thunderbird is OK. It has its annoyances, but it's solid, multi-account, and supports everything. Sometimes it starts burning all my CPU cores at 100% and I don't know why, it's probably doing some garbage collection or whatever.

              Evolution (GUI) is also kinda fine, but it's GNOME, and you may not like that. It's heavy.

              Claws Mail (GUI) is also OK. It's lighter than Evolution or Thunderbird, but in the past it did something wrong that annoyed me and that I cannot remember and I stopped using it.

              I also remember using Kmail (KDE) more 15 years ago and it was also OK, but a bit sluggy.

                      @phantomofopera Hi! The BSD Cafe is an instance for enthusiasts, not business-oriented. There are a few projects (like @BoxyBSD ) that have found a home here, but they are not actual businesses. I also do not promote my own company here - I would prefer it to remain a café, not a commercial promotion space. My advice, from a business perspective (and which could serve as a good example for other businesses as well), would be to create a dedicated instance with the business domain. This would provide direct visibility (you have an instance - you believe in the Fediverse) and show the world that your business has a live and active presence in the free social networks.

                        Two years ago, I installed solar panels on the roof, and was rewarded with enough power to run the house, charge the car, and even run the heat pump for much of the year.

                        Another reward was the SunPower monitoring system that lets us track the performance of the system and see how each individual panel is working. Naturally, this system only delivers its data to some proprietary cloud system run by SunPower. Just as naturally, SunPower has gone bankrupt, and the monitoring system is now just a useless brick sitting on the wall.

                        ...or at least it would be, had I not gone through the effort of integrating it with Home Assistant — a mildly difficult task involving hooking into a maintenance port on the device itself. So now I have the data out of the monitoring box stored on a local system, under my control, and I don't need to go scrambling for alternatives. I can obsess over my post-solstice data, waiting for production to reach decent levels again — that happens faster if I stare at it, I'm convinced.

                        Maybe there's something to this free software idea after all.

                        Two bar-chart plots from Home Assistant showing solar production and home power usage.

                          Announcing FediMeteo – Weather in the Fediverse!

                          UPDATE: I have created an account for updates and other information on FediMeteo - follow the account @admin to stay updated!

                          UPDATE: Ireland, Poland, Portugal and Switzerland have just been added

                          Weather has always influenced our lives: from agriculture to outdoor activities, to extreme events that, thanks to modern technology, can now be predicted with greater reliability. Personally, weather plays a significant role in my daily decisions, which is why I decided to create a service tailored for the Fediverse.

                          FediMeteo uses Open-Meteo data to publish updates every 6 hours, including current weather conditions, forecasts for the next 12 hours, and predictions for the upcoming days. Each country is served by its own dedicated instance (e.g., it.fedimeteo.com for Italy), managed through snac to ensure simplicity and efficiency in publishing.

                          You can follow FediMeteo directly in the Fediverse (on Mastodon and compatible platforms), via RSS, or by visiting the dedicated page for your city (e.g., fr.fedimeteo.com/paris).

                          Currently supported countries include:
                          Austria, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, – with many more regions coming soon!

                          FediMeteo is hosted on a FreeBSD-based VPS, with each country isolated in its own jail to ensure security and scalability.

                          Visit the main site to explore the national instances and start following your local weather updates today:
                          fedimeteo.com

                          Happy weather monitoring to all! 🌦️

                          FediMeteo is dedicated to my grandfather, who every evening would give me the weather forecast based on TV, radio, and his personal experience. He would convince me that the weather would be bad, so he had an excuse to accompany me to school instead of me going alone.

                                        Por lo que yo sé, ni Threads ni Bluesky usan el protocolo Nostr. El de Bluesky es el AT Protocol, un invento "overengineered" del copón, y sobre lo que internamente usa Threads no sé nada, pero hacia el Fediverso usa su propia implementación de ActivityPub.

                                        El protocolo de Nostr es técnicamente un buen diseño, pero la gente que hay detrás son criptobros de la peor calaña con las intenciones más rastreras.

                                                              Diagnosis: that's not a USB flash drive. That is the dongle for your mouse.

                                                              Solution: here's a USB flash drive.

It takes a lot of time, dedication and, more often than not, you see volunteers taking in multiple different tasks and responsibilities to keep everything running. Thankfully, we occasionally get external contributors that help us out!

                                                                                            For instance, I would post something serious so as to promote our nonprofit, but it seems like decided to help us with the marketing for the day by sending a bunch of its users (multiple) emails about GitHub Copilot. 😅

                                                                                                      Este fin de semana he dado de baja mi cuenta de Twitter. Llevaba con ella desde casi el principio aunque no he llegado a participar activamente; por un lado porque algunas de las cuentas eran tuitstars y no responden ni en broma. Por otro porque a veces no sabía qué decir y las pocas veces en las que sí lo decía el formato era corto para mantener discusiones.

                                                                                                      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 ) 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.

Montar un servidor para recibir correo, gestionar libretas de direcciones y calendarios es trivial y se hace en dos patadas. Lo que las bigtech están saboteando es el envío de correo, inventando trabas cada cierto tiempo como SPF, DKIM, DMARC y la siguiente putada que inventen que sea endiablada de poner en marcha y completamente frágil e inutil.

                                                                                                                  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.

                                                                                                                      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.

                                                                                                                                        Bueno, pues en pos de alcanzar el nuevo nivel de lo que sea que me depare el futuro estoy dando de baja todas las webs en las que conseguir algún trabajo relacionado con la informática. Creo que dos años y tres meses son suficientes para reconocer que no tengo hueco.

                                                                                                                                        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.
