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.

Here's Andrew Eldritch in an OpenBSD hoodie. Compare with parent in thread. Realized today that not everyone might be familiar with Von's wearing of OpenBSD merch.

Does anyone know if he really is an OpenBSD user?

A white male with shaved head, sunglasses, a black hoodie with a blowfish and the text "OpenBSD" and something not quite visible under it. He's standing in front of a railing of some sort with both of his hands on it.

Cuando yo era joven se llamaba "hacer puente" cuando caía un laboral/lectivo entre fiestas (como una especie de metáfora cutre de las patas y los ojos de un puente).

"Authenticator apps are convenient, but some of us still use real computers and often want to access sites that way. Your editor, unlike his offspring, does not have a phone surgically implanted, so logging into a site can lead to a scramble to figure out where the damn phone is so that the code can be produced.

It’s a computer punch card with every possible spot punched out, so what remains is a flimsy filamentous net of paper that instantly tears and jams up the card reader.

In the #ActivityPub protocol, it's called 'Announce'.

In the #Mastodon web interface (and here in #snac too), it's called 'boost'.

In the Mastodon API, it's called 'reblog'.

Mastodon users say, informally, 'retoot'.

In the #Pleroma web interface (AFAIK), it's called 'repeat'.

In #honk it's called 'bonk' (because, why not).

Outside there, in other crappy social networks, Facebook names the action 'share' (IIRC), Twitter users names it 'retweet'. I don't know about others, but they probably use a different verb.

Todos esos sitios tienen ya una página web: es ahí donde tienen que publicar lo que tengan que decir.

Y si el ayuntamiento es tan pequeño que no tiene una página web, siempre tendrán un tablero de corcho donde clavar el mensaje con una chincheta.

For anyone who wants to try out time-limited sessions, pam-session-timelimit is now in Debian unstable and Ubuntu lunar:

https://packages.debian.org/sid/pam-session-timelimit

I've also finished a patch to make pam_time integrate with pam_systemd, which after 20+ years makes it possible for pam_time to enforce the end of sessions and not just their start times:

https://github.com/linux-pam/linux-pam/pull/562

Started Mastodon API support, so you can use Mastodon-compatible apps to access #snac accounts. What works so far: login, private and public timelines, full post information (replies and ancestors), liking and boosting posts. Things that don't work yet but eventually will: following accounts, posting and replying to messages (I still have to figure out how some things work, like posting images), notifications (needs some internal support), the instance timeline (snac does not have one, but it can be simulated with not much effort) and probably many other things. Things that will never work: bookmarks, pinning, a federated timeline, many other things that I don't remember right now. Please note that if you want to use this API in your instance, you must add some lines to your HTTP proxy configuration, see the snac(8) (administrator documentation) manual page. I'm doing my tests using the #Tusky (which sometimes crashes, surely my fault), #AndStatus, #Fedilab and #Husky Android apps. Success or failure reports will be appreciated.

Fixed some buffer overflows (contributed by Saagar Jha).

Fixed overzealous rejection of some local boosts.

It's expensive to be poor. It's ironic but true. You get charges and fees for everything. Higher interest rates. Overdraft fees. Late fees. Having only enough to buy what you need right now instead of buying in bulk. Losing your job because you can't afford to get your car fixed. Losing your car because you don't have a job. Even your mental faculties are drained, as you are forced to continually eat low-nutrition foods, "sleep" in miserable conditions, and be exposed to toxins and lack of medical treatment. The lack of liquidity wipes you out. Life really does kick you while you're down.

You can't tell someone trapped in that vicious cycle to "just" get a job or "just" make responsible decisions. Sometimes, no amount of good decision-making can stop the vortex sucking them down. So the next time you are tempted to place moral judgment on someone who lives in poverty, think twice.

I miss the days when new tech was like, “Oh, hey, the ‘Host’ header in HTTP 1.1 means we can run more than one site per IP!” and not, “Oh, hey, this LLM is going to literally destroy lives while wildly enriching the worst people in the world.”

Pi Day is a fake holiday that exploits a universally beloved mathematical constant to promote US-style date formats.

@miah I think one of the many things I dig about @grunfink 's snac is this: "No database needed" ;)

I also sincerely appreciate the "Totally JavaScript-free" aspect too!

The entire compiled implementation on macOS for version 2.24? 230737 bytes (approx 231KiB). Also has minimal dependencies, the biggest challenge with maintaining the MacPort so far has been due to my own ineptitude with MacPorts, not snac's code.

I wish more followed grunfink's excellent example on contemporary software dev.

Spent a few hours setting up #snac [0] on my server [1] today. Really cool (and *very* opinionated) ActivityPub implementation.

So let me get this straight, in order to view a website in 2023 I need to 1.) dismiss the GDPR dialog, 2.) dismiss the "login with google" dialog, 3.) dismiss the "download our app" dialog, and 4.) finally after some period of 0-30 seconds dismiss a "sign up for our email list" dialog. Cool. 😑

“The reason most public transportation is seen as ‘losing’ money is precisely because it charges for trips. If you don't charge fares, suddenly it can't ‘lose’ money. It just costs money, the same as the roads.”

This random comment has given me my new favourite argument for removing fares from public transit.

It is obscene that governments effectively require people to have internet connectivity to be able to function in society but abdicate responsibility for ensuring that people actually have that and delegate it to for-profit enterprises instead
