I didn’t choose this hunger.
It wasn’t weakness, or a wish to die.
Hunger was forced on us — used as a weapon by the occupation.
They chose to starve us on purpose,
denying us even the most basic needs,
until our stomachs were empty and our hearts heavy with pain.

No one should have to suffer like this.
If this touched you, please don’t stay silent.

I can't remember the name of this terminal sharing/pairing tool, that's pretty much like tmate, but still alive.

Cercasi ispirazione per buttar giù una bozza di "regolamento" o un insieme di linee guida pratiche post circolare ministeriale di giugno sugli #smartphone nella #scuola secondaria.

Qualcuno ha già lavorato a qualcosa di simile?

Non mi dispiace l'idea di offrire agli studenti qualche oretta di stacco dalla smartdipendenza, dall'altro non si può nemmeno tornare al medioevo... non so come mettere a terra questo pensiero in burocratese. #help

Ringrazio in anticipo ogni spunto

Hello #berlin,

I'm looking for a printing shop (online or physical) to print some badges for an event. Would anyone have any recommendations?

Please boost 🙏

So I have hundreds of videos of ~1 minute recorded from my phone ~10 years ago, and they generally don’t have that great compression, nor they are stored in a modern and advanced video format.

For archiving purposes, I want to take advantage of my workstation’s mighty GPU to process them so that the quality is approximately the same, but the file size would be strongly reduced.

Nevertheless, compressing videos is terribly hard, and way more complex than compressing pictures, so I wouldn’t really know how to do this, what format to use, what codec, what bitrate, what parameters to keep an eye on, etc.

I don’t care if the compression takes a lot of time, I just want smaller but good looking videos.

Any tips? (Links to guides and tutorials are ok too)

Also, unfortunately I am forced to use Windows for this (don’t ask me why 🫠), but I know nothing about Windows because I hate it. Practical software suggestions are very much welcome, too!

Hello les informaticiens ! J'ai besoin dun coup de main #help #linux
Il y a deux ans, mon ordi refusait de démarrer avec un écran comme dans ce pouet précédent : https://mamot.fr/@bilbo_le_hobbit/110479370886886651.
Il s'agissait d'erreurs de disque à corriger. Dans mes souvenirs, il y avait deux lignes de code à taper avec je crois du fsck dedans. Mais j'ai la mémoire qui flanche, j'me souviens plus très bien... Une bonne âme charitable pourrait me rafraîchir la mémoire ? Un repouet rallongera la durée de vie de votre DD!

I've begun updating my Mastodon instance (long overdue, yes). I'm running Mastodon and postgresql plainly on a Raspberry Pi (Raspbian), not using Docker or other virtualisation.

Issue: For upgrading, postgresql needs to be v12 or higher. Yet my R-Pi runs v11, and there's no ARM package for newer versions.

What to do?
- Compile postgres v12 myself?
- Run postgres v12 as a docker image?
- Do a complete overhaul and run Mastodon in a docker image that includes postgres as well?
- Or?

OK, the keyboard of my Macbook Air just stopped working. Entirely. I clicked with the trackpad, thought "This click feels weird", and then the keyboard just didn't work any more.

Worse, I restarted, and now I can't log back in. External keyboard doesn't work; I have to log in to accept the 'utility' or something.

The only thing that works is the terminal in the special startiup options mode, but it doesn't appear to have access to anything.

I understand the next hours and days will be the peak of the current wave to the Fediverse (unless it causes a tipping point already).

So I want to offer my help to everybody who is new here.

I can help you with:
* finding the right instance (if you're not sure you found it)
* understanding how it all works
* editing your profile and settings
* finding your bubble
* helping others find you
* finding answers to further questions

I can help you by:
* replying publicly
* replying via DM
* videocall & screensharing (one on one or in groups)
* finding others who can answer the questions that I can't

This offer goes to:
* everybody (except trolls)
* not just people on one of our (Fediverse Foundation) instances
* not just people in the climatejustice movement
* not just people using Mastodon (though I don't have experience with all software flavors)
* not even only new people

I speak English and German.
