Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in die neue Woche. Alles wird gut!
also still deciding to get a rack in a datacenter or DIY it in a cheap warehouse (getting some quotes for full rack co-location), I prefer the DC as that's where servers belong, but the warehouse will be useful for storing a bunch of shit I have here and I can sublet the space to some friends to offset the costs
now that I’ve got some idea of the costs - I’d need roughly 100-130 HDDs/customers to break even, hmmm. $1/day might be too cheap unless there’s lots of people that are into it. I don’t know if there’s enough word of mouth to make it viable. Could get 20 easily but after that it’ll be a challenge to break out of my circle of nerds.

Last weekend, we were at #FOSDEM and presented HowTheyVote.eu as part of the "Open Source & EU Policy" devroom.
📺 You can watch the recording here: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/39YMYR-how-they-vote/
We showed some features (including new things you might have missed!), what's hard about working with data from the European Parliament, and what the future might bring - all in just 9 minutes! 😉
Thanks to @apell @EclipseFdn @mozilla @lfeurope @OpenForumEurope @openssf @osi & all individuals involved for the great devroom!
"In wenigen Wochen muss die Bundesregierung ein neues Klimaschutzprogramm vorlegen. Ein bisher geheimer Entwurf lässt erahnen, dass sie die Klimaziele weit verfehlen wird – und ihr jegliche Strategie fehlt." aus Der Spiegel
Wir hätten da einige Tipps für die ewiggestrige Regierung.
Die @umwelthilfe sicher auch!!!

Right off the bat: I loved the #BadBunny halftime show.
Yeah, I could do without some of the over-the-top sexy shit — but let’s be real, that’s his bread and butter. I’m not excusing it, just saying: if that’s all you saw, you missed the whole damn point.
From the very first image — people cutting sugar cane — this was political as hell. Sugar cane isn’t some random aesthetic. It’s the industrial agriculture imposed by the United States after they took over Puerto Rico in 1898. That was the moment communal farming was destroyed and Puerto Ricans were forced into brutal export agriculture for U.S. profit. That history matters.
The entire performance was an homage to the island I grew up in. The neighborhoods, the sounds, the colors, the references — there’s so much nostalgia packed in there I honestly can’t even list it all. They went down the fucking list. Every Puerto Rican I know was watching this with tears in their eyes.
And maybe most important of all: he did the whole thing in Spanish. At a time when Spanish has basically been criminalized — when people are afraid to speak it in public, afraid of having the “wrong” accent, especially after years of Trump-era racism — that alone is a massive political act.
I need to rewatch it because there’s so much going on, but I wanted to put this out there now. Because I already know a lot of people aren’t going to get it at first glance.
But make no mistake: this wasn’t just a halftime show.
It was a huge cultural and political moment — and for Puerto Ricans especially, it meant a hell of a lot.
¡Pa'lante!🇵🇷✊

We have reached a new era of civil engineering; now we can build bridges by simply dumping truckloads of shit into the river until the shit mountains are tall enough that some people and maybe cars can cross the river. Truly, it is a revolutionary technology that democraticizes access to bridges; now everyone can dump a truckload of shit over small rivers here and there and cross the rivers instead of asking an engineer to build the bridge for them. This approach completely removes all the bottlenecks in engineering, too: no need to navigate difficult legal frameworks or ethical concerns. The biggest players on the market are staring to replace their bridges with shit mountains, you'd better be catching up and learning how to use this new groundbreaking technology. Some of you have ethical concerns, but this is beyond of the scope of my post. I also recognise that some might notice fish in the rivers dying, or simply slip on the shit; just you wait, I bet it'll be fixed in ~6 months

I'm excited to announce that @dan and I have been working on a new non-profit, Rootstock Northwest, with some folks in the local food industry: https://rootstocknw.org
We have three goals:
1. Give fresh produce to the food insecure in our communities.
2. Support local producers and farmers to invest our community food chain
3. Deliver direct to homes to make fresh, local food accessible for all and minimize overhead.
We believe that everyone deserves access to fresh, high quality food and that we can simultaneously feed our communities and support local food chains by delivering produce to directly to those in need. With the current government instability, it is more important than ever to ensure the most vulnerable are fed and that our local food ecosystems are strengthened.

Which bands, when someone tells you they really like them, drives you to either ghost them forever, or become very wary of them? I already posted my answer: https://infosec.exchange/@codinghorror/115884898556308318
@codinghorror I've learned over the time to never judge people by their musical tastes : these come from their personal, intimate, history and are more a testament to the people they were than an affirmation of who they are now.
Sometimes, the #Algorithm just loses it's fucking shit and shows me adverts like this. I can only assume some very critical bit got flipped.
