It is no longer possible to trust the confidentiality of anything you send to a Windows user, because it’ll be screenshotted and sent to Microsoft.

Even if you trust the recipient, sending things to Windows users is functionally identical to publishing them to people who wish to exploit you.

Par le pouvoir du cron ancestral j'en appelle à la toute puissance de la congrégation des administrat⋅eur⋅rice⋅s de serveurs XMPP.

Pour notre serveur de messagerie familial, j'utilise depuis des années ejabberd. J'entends ici et là que houlala prosody est hyper plus mieux. Je ne vais pas chercher à savoir si c'est vrai ou pas, je ne compte pas lancer un débat à la emacs vs. vim (alors que j'utilise nano, en plus).

Par contre. Ce qui m'intéresserait, c'est de savoir si certain⋅e⋅s ont déjà fait une migration d'ejabberd à prosody, de façon "transparente" pour leurs utilisateurs, et si oui, si c'est compliqué ou à la portée de qui voudra bien faire l'effort de lire un peu de doc.

Partages/Boosts/Repouets/Relais évidemment bienvenus.

Pour me changer les idées d'#osm, je me suis créé un site qui se veut #smolweb avec gohugo.io afin d'y basculer toutes mes #recettes de #cuisine.

Avec un site léger, les temps de chargement sont incroyablement brefs. J'aime bien #nextcloud et #cookbook, mais d'abord on ne peut pas rendre publique les recettes, et ensuite ce sont vraiment des pages obèses.

Il me reste quelques centaines de recettes à basculer 🥴 mais c'est en route 😋

The biggest thing that I wish people knew before starting their 1st tech job (probably most jobs) is that asking someone more experienced for the “answer” is what you should do as soon as you get stuck. It’s drilled into students that this is “cheating”, so this is a big change for new hires. The faster a new hire can unlearn that you’re not expected to do your own work without getting advice from others, the happier and more productive they will be in a team environment.

This site is the perfect representation of my cloud of choice to yell at

“…you have no fucking idea what a website is. All you have ever seen are shitty skeuomorphic bastardizations of what should be text communicating a fucking message. This is a real, naked website. Look at it. It's fucking beautiful.”

What's that coming over the hill, is it a monster? Is it a monster?

Yes actually, it's version 0.19.0 of #GoToSocial, aka Seditious Sloth 😈! It's busted out of the release candidacy process and it's ready to kick some ass.

You can get the release from here:

https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.19.0

Or use either the latest or 0.19.0 Docker tag.

The update contains several database migrations, so please read the migration notes carefully for instructions on how to upgrade to this version!

Release highlights

• OAuth token scope enforcement: Token scopes (read, write etc) now actually do stuff! So we removed the big "scopes don't do stuff!" warning in the docs. The enforced scopes match the Mastodon API token scopes, so there shouldn't be any surprises for bot owners / app developers.
  See https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/api/swagger/ for more info.
• Token review / invalidation: You can now review and invalidate tokens issued for your account in the settings panel, to help keep your account secure.
  Docs: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#access-tokens
• Create and manage applications in the settings panel: Handy for people who want to run bots and applications with GoToSocial!
  Docs: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#applications
• Gallery-style profile layout option: You can now choose to lay out the web view of your profile in a 'gram style gallery. Good for people who mostly post media and want to put that at the forefront.
  Docs: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#select-layout
• Support for two-factor authentication (aka 2FA): If your instance isn't configured to use an OIDC provider, you can now secure your account with 2FA via a QR code and an authenticator app. When logging in with 2FA enabled, you will have to provide a time-based one-time password. Security!
  Docs: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#two-factor-authentication
• Lots of web view tweaks including nicer media rendering on chrome, proper blurhash support, much better support for keyboard-based page navigation, wider font support for different scripts, tidier status info bar, and more.
• OAuth bugfixes should allow more flexibility and compatibility when logging in with or authorizing third-party applications.
• bandwagon.fm compatibility fixes: you can now follow Bandwagon.fm artists from your GoToSocial account and receive posts / announcements from them.
• Edit domain permissions: you can now edit the obfuscate and public and private comment fields in domain permissions (blocks/allows) instead of having to remove and recreate the permission to update the comments.

Wizards of the Coast did as they promised, and released a System Reference Document (that is, the basic rules and game mechanics) for the 2024 edition of Dungeons & Dragons under an extremely open Creative Commons (CC-BY-4.0) licence.

D&D isn't necessarily the game for *you*, but it *is* historically significant and still extremely popular, and I think it's cool that any part of it is available under such a licence.

I’m not trying to go viral.

I’m trying to be useful.

To someone.

Somewhere.

That’s enough.
