Dovecot/postfix mail addresses being case-sensitive - seemingly even after applying fix for auth_username_format
Der ursprüngliche zentrale Zweck davon war genau, dass sie frei lizenziert ist und es somit erlaubt und erwünscht ist, dass sich mit der Zeit viele Forks davon bilden, sodass es eine größere Diversität an Informationsquellen gibt.
Jetzt ist sie die “letzte Bastion gemeinsamer Realität”. Wo ist die Welt eigentlich falsch abgebogen?
Hauptsächlich wohl dort, wo eine Fragmentierung das System noch anfälliger machen würde. Schon jetzt sind eben gerade noch genug aktive Editierende und Moderierende dort, die das System absichern. Ist ein bisschen wie Software-Forks. Was macht z. B. Librewolf oder Waterfox, falls niemand mehr den Upstream-code bei Firefox wartet, und dieser plötzlich mit Sicherheitslücken gespickt wird, für deren Entfernung das Team zu klein geworden ist?
Mirrors von Wikipedia gibt es durchaus, aber meistens so als halbes Privatprojekt von Enthusiasten, oft einfach zu Hause auf nem Homeserver oder so. Also, eine statische "Stand 2025"-Kopie ließe sich wahrscheinlich im worst case erstmal wiederherstellen. Ohne ein funktionierendes, großes Team aber leider verdammt dazu, langsam irrelevanter zu werden.
Eine "größere Diversität" an Informationsquellen gibt es ja schon auch, nur leider halt meistens eher Sachen wie "Conservapedia" oder ähnliche Versuche, Meinung und Fakt viel offensichtlicher zu vermischen. Na ja - zumindest Informationsquellen jenseits von Popkultur. Tatsächlich gibt es zu Hobbyisten- und Popkulturthemen ja unzählige, teilweise extrem tiefgehende Wikis, die durchaus auch Informationsquelle sind.
Also, in dem Fall würde ich sagen, war das Ideal verkennend, wie viel Arbeit das alles dann in der Realität erfordern wird, so dass am Ende Ableger - zumindest welche, die eine derartige Qualität aufrecht erhalten können - nicht mehr so ganz realistisch wurden.

If you don't have any money, maybe you can also help if you have a bit of extra space on your HDD - by mirroring some things (especially in the torrent form and seeding), it will at least be one more redundancy of some things in the worst case.
EDIT: Turns out, there is a [or at least one] tool for it:

Ah, I misunderstood.
The gist of it, if I understood it correctly, is some upcoming changes to the kernel (and Wayland) will allow for crashed GPU's to not halt the system, but make it switch to software rendering for proper debugging, as well as kernel changes, so that the culprit of the crash can be diagnosed in userspace.
Others may correct me if I misunderstood something in the video, but that was my takeaway.
Hmm, I can't find anything obviously wrong, it works fine on my end, both on the PeerTube platform and through the embedded vid on lemmy.
Does it work on their local PeerTube instance? https://tube.archworks.co/videos/watch/30093196-34dd-412a-b368-4e550a185915
There's so many places where strategically important resources have been delegated wholesale to the US. Now, concerning mankind, it's theoretically better, of course, to not overdo it with wasteful redundancies. But, unfortunately, we're not talking about some kind of UN-controlled infrastructure, which is maintained and used internationally. Unfortunately, it's controlled by people like this, and that is now coming home to roost.
Yupp, that's why I added (succesfully) to my plea. Unfortunately, I think you are very right.
From the little that seems to be available at the time of this comment, it feels like someone confused and disturbed, not like a properly planned-out-attempt at anything.
The Secret Service received information from local police about an alleged “suicidal individual” who was traveling from Indiana and found the man’s car and a person matching his description nearby.
“As officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel,” the Secret Service said in a statement.
The man was hospitalized. The Secret Service said his condition was “unknown.”
Oh, please, oh please, I hope it won't be (succesfully) used for even more repression.
I understand concerns about fragmentation, but recently, I have been more and more in favour of "why not both" as an approach. Basically: One de-facto "central" community, and many local communities. Main reason being, that this will help the Fediverse grow without losing it's "soul" so to speak. Where - hopefully eventually - there will be those central communities with a reddit-like experience for the topic, and then also local ones, where smaller communities around the topic, without the traps of large, "mainstream" communites, can form.
Basically: Resident enfranchisement. It's weird, when people born in our country and having lived here their whole life can't vote outside of local elections. My own father, for example, had a Dutch background, and was never allowed to vote in federal elections until his death. (Neither he nor I even spoke/speak a single phrase of Dutch)
Yes, things have gotten somewhat better and easier with applications for citizenship, but that there are hurdles like that to begin with, is a bit.... weird.

The investments are being placed through opaque structures known as special-purpose vehicles, which have the benefit of concealing the investors’ identities, to avoid the ire of US authorities and companies wary of Chinese capital during a nadir in relations between the two countries.
Asset managers behind the deals have told investors that the entities are specifically designed to avoid disclosure. The use of special-purpose vehicles in financing is commonplace and there is nothing illegal about the arrangements.
Still, it raises concerns about the potential for undue influence and conflicts of interest at a time when Musk has unprecedented involvement in US policy, politics and business.
Funnily enough, to me personally, there are more questions about what this means concerning Chinese politics and conflicts of interests in the future. The country is not without its own tensions, after all.
The inflow of Chinese capital into Musk’s business empire is primarily profit-driven and has little to do with technology transfer or influencing public policy, according to people involved in the transactions.
With a sluggish domestic economy, wealthy Chinese are looking abroad for investment opportunities.
To me, personally, it serves as a reminder that no amount of red flags waved or social-democratic laws saying "wealth is going to serve the interests of the working class" makes a country communist, only material realities can.
Besides that material interest, there is also cognitive dissonance because of ideological distortions. If you believe things were fine before Trump, you were already adept at closing your eyes to problems. Including very fundamental problems, which helped to put the clique of billionaire grifters and outright fascists into power.
Seit ich mir online in Diskussionen den Mund faserig geredet habe, gegen Menschen, die explizit verfassungsfeindlich fordern, dass Bürgergeld nicht Menschenwürde garantieren sollte, sondern ausschließlich gerade eben so das Überleben, bin ich mir ziemlich sicher, dass vom rechten Rand der SPD, über CDU und FDP bis zur AfD die entsprechenden Wählenden Menschen in Armut hassen und unbewusst (manchmal sogar offen und bewusst) am liebsten als Sklaven halten würden.
Don't choose Germany, though, we (and a lot of nations, actually) still for some reason have citizenship-by-blood/heritage laws more or less straight out of the 19th century, not citizenship-by-birthplace laws.
Funnily enough, I had never gotten one on my old account which was >4 years old on .ml - but after I made this one on my own instance, in less than a day, I finally got one.
Sadly, as I'm not from the US, it would not really help me (in fact, make it harder). Funnily enough, Iceland was actually occupied by the US during World War II - which they did pre-emptively, worrying the Nazis may pull off another stunt like with Norway and endanger shipping from there if they don't.
This is really cool! I think you'd also get a good reception over at !artshare@lemmy.world
It's: Eggshell-predetermined-breaking-point-causer
God damn, if I had the money, I'd escape to Iceland. Has been a dream for a long time now, but it just gets more and more desirable.
