Mañana se hace efectivo el bloqueo de mi instancia a tuiter.rocks. No voy a abundar en el tema, ya se ha escrito bastante, la administración de mi instancia tomó esa decisión y ya está, si desproporcionada o no allá cada cual, en mi caso digamos que visto lo visto no estoy en desacuerdo y que agradezco la transparencia y cómo se ha tomado.

El caso es que tengo contactos en tuiter.rocks con los que tengo buena relación, también en mastodon.la, instancia que decidió también bloquear a masto en represalia. Después de pensarlo no me voy a mover y me quedo en masto. Primero, por lo a gusto que estoy y porque su administrador me ha demostrado honestidad, compromiso con sus usuarios y buen fondo en todo este tiempo; segundo, porque incluso si estuviese equivocado y lo justo fuera dejar a cada usuario que bloquee lo que considere, no sé realmente qué me pasaría mudándome y bloqueando a esa administradora y sus acólitos, si no acabaría en la misma situación.

Me apena, pero salvo que se muden serán contactos e interacciones que perderé. Pero nada en este mundo es permanente, y menos en el ciberespacio. Menos gente interesante que tendré para leer, pero bueno, llegarán otros.

Yo puedo estar más o menos de acuerdo, pero creo que lo que revela todo esto es un fallo de diseño. Aunque las motivaciones puedan ser buenas, a no ser que cambiemos el planteamiento puede haber consecuencias indeseables. ¿Acabaremos mudándonos todos a instancias generalistas con moderación ineficiente por su volumen? Esto facilitaría que se puedan comprar o manipular. ¿O acabaremos en instancias aisladas unas de otras? Las dos cosas van en contra de lo que se supone que es la base del Fediverso.

Mucha gente está molesta y creo que con razón. A mí tampoco me hace gracia que de un día para otro se me restrinja mi capacidad para comunicarme con otras personas (a las que yo mismo podría bloquear si quisiera). A veces simplemente tienes dos opciones y las dos son malas.

Sigo creyendo que aún así es como elegir entre democracia y dictadura. Aunque la primera esté lejos de ser perfecta, siempre será preferible a la segunda. Pero mantenerla exige trabajo por parte de todos, o un día te encontrarás con mucha gente cambiando de bando.

Todo esto hay que debatirlo mucho y tenemos que tomar nota.

@gorfeld El propósito de un sistema es lo que hace.

La desfederación es una característica intrínseca de cualquier sistema federado, y no tiene sentido considerarlo un fallo de diseño ni algo que va en contra de la base del Fediverso porque es parte del mismo.

Ocurre que mucha gente piensa en el Fediverso como si fuese un sistema distribuido donde todos hablan con todos (tercera imagen) en lugar de un sistema federado donde no estás obligado a comunicarte con quien no quieres y pueden existir islas (segunda imagen). Y al descubrir que no lo es, pues se llevan una decepción.

Todo sistema tiene sus ventajas y desventajas, naturalmente. El Fediverso permite encontrar un lugar que se adapte mejor a tus necesidades (incluidas tus necesidades de protección) pero no es tan efectivo como otros sistemas si lo que quieres es llegar a todo el mundo en toda la red, por ejemplo.

On video you'll see the splash screen of "Silk Dust", an #interactivefiction game by @davbucci which I helped optimize for #apple2e . Here it's running on my Delta clone, out of an #A2DVI with a custom firmware that can output composite artifacting simulation for hires graphics (and not only D*GR).

The splash screen is showing while the game loads the whole text resources in the aux bank of the computer.

In 2025, Israeli settlers, backed by the army, displaced rural Palestinian communities in the West Bank at unprecedented rates. It is part of Israel's escalating strategy to take control of as much of the territory as possible.

@jana it is hightime we convert our cities into walkable and bikable neighbourhoods

And if needed (they are needs for sure) we have taxis. A 10-20% increase in taxis and a 50-70% lack of ownership in personal vehicles would be so beneficial to our society

to go across towns buses and trains
to go across states trains and planes

The cars look best on a circuit, just like the horses galloping on a racecourse.

Hi all, this is my first post on here so I wanted it to be of one of my favourite images from 2025.
This was taken at the Longines Global Champions Tour held in London in August at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea.
It was my first year of having media accreditation access and it's still a dream come true.

"VOILÀ QUE LES MOTS

Voilà que les mots volettent dans ma tête.
Je me souvient d'une terre au nom céleste portée par les mots.
Les morts ne rêvent pas souvent et s'ils rêvent personne ne croit leurs rêves...
Voilà que les mots volettent dans mon corps, abeille après abeille...
Si j'écrivais du bleu sur le bleu,
les chansons verdiraient et la vie me reviendrait.
Par les mots, j'ai trouvé plus court le chemin jusqu'au nom...
Les poètes ne sont pas souvent joyeux et quand ils le sont, personne ne les croit...

Today I'm gonna work out how I want to handle cached DNS records...

My default thought is to database everything, but these are temporary records.....

On the other hand... how do I restore a cache on restart/reload of the application?

It can't be a memory only cache, but a database seems too permanent while a file based cache still doesn't feel quite right?

halp

in reply to kwayk42

@Binder one idea is to just create a file of the cached entries when the application receives a SIGHUP.

Then when when application is started, look for that cache file and load the entries into memory if the timestamp or age of the file is less than x time (cache expiration).

Oh and when you start the application, perform cleanup like removing the cache file if it exists so it doesn’t stick around longer than needed

AI Tools for Business: From “Nice to Have” to Non-Negotiable


A few years ago, AI tools felt like something only big tech companies used. Fast forward to today, and artificial intelligence is everywhere — from marketing and sales to finance and operations. For businesses of all sizes, AI is no longer a futuristic experiment. It is a practical toolkit that saves time, cuts costs, and helps teams work smarter, not harder.

So what does AI actually do for businesses, and which tools matter most? Let’s break it down.

1. AI for Productivity: Doing More With Less

One of the biggest wins of AI is productivity. Tools like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Notion AI help teams write emails, summarize meetings, draft reports, and brainstorm ideas in seconds. Instead of staring at a blank page or spending hours on repetitive tasks, employees can focus on higher-value work.

For example, AI meeting assistants can transcribe calls, highlight action items, and generate summaries automatically. That means fewer follow-up meetings and less time wasted taking notes. For fast-moving teams, this is a game-changer.

2. AI in Marketing: Smarter, Faster Campaigns
https://llclick.com/b72ssccb/


Marketing is one of the areas where AI shines the most. AI tools can generate social media captions, ad copy, blog drafts, and even video scripts. Platforms like Jasper, HubSpot AI, and Canva’s AI features help marketers move from idea to execution at record speed.

What dooms this devouring civilization most is its toxic men, its greedy, grabbing great men, its white supremacy men. Trump and Musk are not aberrations. They are merely pimples on top of the pus of Western Civilization, an engine of destruction, greed and avarice that has managed to do three times more damage to our environment in the last 50 years than humans did in the previous 200,000 years.

Gente de Mastodon, ¿podría alguien explicarme lo que quiere decir «josear»?

Nací en el 75 y por tanto, su significado ya se me escapa. Pero es que encima, hace unos años lo hubiera buscado en internet, pero las búsquedas en internet cada vez son peores y solo me devuelven anuncios, mierda generada por IA o enlaces a reddit.

Así que nada, os pregunto a vosotros, que sois gente con criterio. Aquí un GenX con ganas de aprender.

in reply to Carlos de la Cruz

Nuestras reglas lo definen así:

Esta regla también limita la técnica del «joseo». La técnica del «joseo» consiste en parafrasear una publicación ajena, modificando ligeramente su contenido o citando un autor distinto, a modo de parodia.

El «joseo», aunque no tenga ánimo de ofender, puede ser realmente molesto para personas que no estén familiarizadas con él. Se pide a los miembros que sólo usen el «joseo» con personas con las que tengan confianza o con consentimiento previo.

I hate most of them too, so I know what she means. This seller ships to the US, might be worth having a look through the shop to see if there’s anything that takes her fancy? They’re really good quality, brilliant instructions and so on.
