We've got to do something about these mods, folks.

I'm not sure which version of pict-rs it is. The Yunohost package is based on Lemmy 19.11, so I presume the pict-rs version is whichever one normally ships with that. Looking through lemmy-ynh/conf/pict-rs.toml, I see a commented reference to version 0.4.1.

 

Specifically, how do I safely and properly clean up the '/lemmy/magick/' folder? Mine contains 44,259 files taking 405GiB in total. That is the vast majority of my humble server's 466GiB capacity. I am the only user on my instance so I don't know their source.

Most of the violence and oppression gets exported, so it's probably best to just sit tight here in the heart of the empire.

How long until you retire? If you've still got another thirty to forty years of wage slavery ahead of you then don't worry about it. Just keep contributing and make sure to get all of your employer's match, if any.

What are "end-of-life batteries" in this case? Is the plan to reuse used batteries that are no longer fit for automotive service?

I didn't even consider that, but yes if votes can't be private then it's bad to pretend that they are. It looks like there's been some debate on the topic, but the decision was apparently to keep pretending.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought the issue was with the follower approval feature. Apparently on Mastodon, users have the option to review all prospective followers. With this setting enabled, no one is supposed to be able to just follow your account with a click. You have to approve each one. Pixelfed wasn't honoring this setting. I think it's a bad feature that gives anyone who uses it a false sense of security.

 

Another dust-up with Dansup lol...

The author of the article characterizes their findings as a vulnerability in Pixelfed, that it was treating all follow requests as approved. An update has already been released to make Pixelfed honor that setting, but the vulnerability still exists with ActivityPub in the feature itself. It gives users a false expectation of privacy, which is not safe.

The lynching narrative presupposes that the perpetrators are a mob of otherwise normal people driven to take justice into their own hands by extreme ignorance and prejudice that can eventually be overcome by education in tolerance. Is that how you feel about the Israeli settlers? The way I feel about them is that they are not normal yet severely ignorant people. They are invaders who know exactly what they are doing. There is no pretense of justice for them to take into their own hands. They cannot be taught to coexist with the Palestinians they are trying to ethnically cleanse from the West Bank. They need to be driven at gun point back to Long Island or at least Israel 1948. Calling it lynching minimizes the settlers' culpability.

The problem is this case is that 'a lynching' implies that the mob is going against the authorities, which is absolutely not the case when it comes to settler violence. The Israeli soldiers are there to protect and facilitate the settlers in their attacks against Palestinians. Under no circumstances does the IDF deserve the benefit of the doubt and the article makes it clear that they are the ones who abducted Hamdan anyway.

Visiting Portland, Oregon in a few weeks; tagging along with my wife who's going to a conference. What should I get up to while I'm out there? Any cool dive bars?

UPDATE: the battery fire obviously didn't help, but according to new reporting it turns out that the Cybertruck really did trap the victims inside.

This accident could be a scene in a horror movie.

I'm not a Tesla fan by any measure, but I edited the headline for this post. The original headline made it seem like a specific feature of the Cybertruck trapped the victims, but then the article explains it was really that the battery was burning so fiercely that the police just couldn't free them. The deadly feature of the accident was the lithium battery, which is common to many makes and manufacturers of EVs.
