Vous l'attendiez, le voici : vous pourrez désormais converser directement entre le Fédiverse et la messagerie instantanée XMPP ! Et ce depuis votre compte et votre application habituelle, sans rien changer.
Comment ça marche ? Très simple, deux comptes robots jumeaux vont se charger de passer vos messages dans l'autre monde.
Et donc depuis Mastodon : votre contact est @xmpp_bridge que vous pourrez suivre pour vous inscrire, puis envoyer et recevoir des messages depuis XMPP.
À chaque fois que vous envoyez un message, vous faites comme pour tout message privé : mention du compte robot depuis Mastodon ou envoi de message privé depuis une application comme Pixelfed ou Friendica, par exemple.
Adressez votre ou vos destinataires XMPP avec le préfixe xmpp: suivi de leur adresse (sans espace). Vous pourrez répondre directement à tout message reçu.
Vous pourrez également gérer vos listes de blocage, afin d'éviter tout spam, et vous pourrez rapporter tout abus à votre administrateur.
Ça ne vous intéresse pas ? Pas de panique, tant que vous n'êtes pas inscrit, vous ne recevrez rien.
Commencez ! Évidemment, ça n'a d'intérêt que si vous connaissez des interlocuteurs XMPP (et vice-versa). Mais c'est aussi l'occasion d'essayer et de promouvoir la messagerie instantanée.
Testez et rapportez-moi tout bug ou toute remarque utile, pour améliorer le service.
En espérant que vous appréciez ce nouveau service assez exclusif mais ouvert à tous !
🔄 Boostez svp pour répandre la bonne parole dans l'Univers.
You've been waiting for it, here it is: from now on you'll be able to chat directly between Fediverse and XMPP instant messaging! All from your usual account and application, without changing a thing.
So how does it work? Very simply, two twin robot accounts will be responsible for passing your messages to the other world.
So from Mastodon: your contact is @xmpp_bridge, who you can follow to sign up, then send and receive messages from XMPP.
Each time you send a message, you do as you would for any private message: mention the robot account from Mastodon or send a private message from an application such as Pixelfed or Friendica, for example.
Address your XMPP recipient(s) with the prefix xmpp: followed by their address (without spaces). You can reply directly to any message you receive.
You can also manage your block lists to prevent spam, and you can report any abuse to your administrator.
Not interested? Don't worry, you won't receive anything until you register.
Get started! Obviously, this is only of interest if you know XMPP contacts (and vice versa). But it's also an opportunity to try out and promote instant messaging.
Test it out and report any bugs or useful comments to me, so that I can improve the service.
I hope you enjoy this new service, which is fairly exclusive but open to everyone!
🔄 Please boost to spread the good word in the Universe.
Un pont XMPP - Fédiverse élémentaire donc (bien moins ambitieux que Libervia), fournissant un service de chat entre les deux mondes, les utilisateurs gardant leur application et leur compte habituels.
L'architecture est simple : deux comptes robots, un dans chaque monde (backend Python avec Slixmpp et API Mastodon) se chargeant de faire écho de chaque message pour l'envoyer dans l'autre monde. Avec un traitement des adresses, listes de blocages, etc.
Ça reste pour une utilisation simple et à échelle modérée (chaque compte robot étant soumis aux limitations imposées par les serveurs Mastodon et XMPP auxquels ils sont rattachés).
L'idée étant de permettre un déploiement simple et de jouer la scalabilité en rajoutant des bots jumeaux par chaque administrateur intéressé (le principe du Fédiverse, finalement).
Si ça intéresse quelqu'un, je mettrai le code source à disposition en AGPL cet été après quelques semaines de fonctionnement en béta. Ouvert à tous !
If you want a nice tartar sauce to go with it, make it as would any but add finely ground dried rosemary. And a whiff of basil. Some malt vinegar to taste. Few big ol' mustard seeds.

Why is this great news? Well, it serves as a clear reminder that federal agents can be arrested when they break the law. If they assault people—or kidnap them—or commit any crimes at all, they can and should end up in handcuffs. “No one is above the law, regardless of their position or badge,” LA County DA Nathan Hochman said. He’s right, but it shouldn’t take this level of carnage for them to end up behind bars. - Scott Dworkin
"I have been on Truth Social to cover Trump since the first day it became active, and have read every post. The people on that platform are hardcore MAGA cultists who are typically intensely loyal. But his dismissive post on Epstein drew a tidal wave of angry responses like I have never seen before. So far, Trump has received over 45,000 replies, over 90% negative."
"For the first time ever, Trump got ratioed on his own platform, meaning that there were more comments on his post than likes or shares, showing disapproval of his message. According to Jordan King of Newsweek, by 10:45 this morning (Eastern Time) it had more than 36,000 replies but only 11,000 reposts and 32,000 likes."
We should be beating MAGA over the head with a simple fact: if Epstein's list was a Democrat conspiracy, Biden would have released it when he was in office.
The fact Biden refused to release it means prominent Democrats are on it.
The fact Trump refused to release it means prominent Republicans are on it.
يا ضيفنا لو زرتنا لوجدتنا نحن الضيوف وأنت رب المنزل “O our guest, if you were to visit us, you would find That we are the guests, and you are the master of the house.”
Mohammad Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri (Abu Khaled), or most commonly known as Mohammed Deif — The Guest: A man who led the resistance from the shadows, his name chanted by millions, though little was known about him. But that didn’t matter. What mattered was that he was the shadow of the resistance, dedicating his life to the fight for freedom. And the people knew that.
Born in Gaza in 1965, Deif studied science at the Islamic University of Gaza. During his time there, he was active in religious, student, and humanitarian work—along with a passion for theater. In 1989, the occupation forces arrested him, detaining him without trial for 16 months on charges of working with Hamas’ military wing.
His release coincided with the rise of the Qassam Brigades, which had begun executing operations deep within the zionist entity. Deif moved to the West Bank alongside several Qassam leaders from Gaza, overseeing the formation of a West Bank branch. He rose to prominence after the assassination of Imad Aqel in 1993, and oversaw several successful operations against the occupation, including the capture of zionist soldier Nachshon Wachsman in 1994.
In the year 2000, he was arrested once again by the Palestinian Authority but managed to escape detention following the outbreak of the Second Intifada. This marked a significant turning point in the development of Hamas’ military capabilities.
Mohammed Deif was appointed as the commander of the Al-Qassam Brigades in 2002. Upon taking leadership, he established a military training and development academy, later revealed after the occupation’s withdrawal from Gaza in 2005.
Deif is credited with numerous strategic successes for Al-Qassam, most notably in the field of missile development. Under his command, the Qassam Brigades transformed their arsenal—from primitive rockets with a few kilometers’ range to missiles capable of reaching every occupied Palestinian city, from the far south to the north.
Mohammed Deif rarely appeared on media, the last being on the morning of October 7, 2023, when he announced Al-Aqsa Flood. He survived seven assassination attempts by the occupation, in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2014, and twice in 2021. He suffered burns, lost an eye, and, according to occupation claims, lost a leg and sustained arm injuries in another.
In 2014, another attempt on his life killed his wife, Widad Mustafa Harb Deif, and children including a his three-year-old daughter and his seven-month-old son, Ali. Yet, Deif remained committed to resistance.
Despite never revealing his face to the public, Deif became one of the most beloved and respected figures in the resistance. People from different countries and backgrounds pledged allegiance to him, for what he represented.
“Put the sword before the sword—we are the people of Mohammed Deif!”
He was nicknamed “the guest” because for decades, he slept in a different house every night, avoiding detection and assassination. The occupation threatened to kill him. The people answered: “Our homes are yours.”
Mohammed Deif was the resistance as it is: from the people, for the people.
Glory to Mohammed Deif, the shadow of the resistance who remains for as long as its light keeps shining.
Abu Khaled, the guest, master of every home and every heart.

PKK’nin Kendisini Fesih Kararının Tarihsel Önemi Üzerine-I
Geçen yılın başında yazdığım “AKP-MHP Kavgası ve Muhalefet” adlı makalede, ABD’de Trump’ın başkan seçilmesi durumunda, Erdoğan ile AKP’nin İmralı’da bulunan Abdullah Öcalan aracılığıyla PKK ile yeni bir “Çözüm ya da Barış Süreci” başlatabileceğini yazmıştım. Bugün yaşananlar bu tespitleri büyük oranda doğrulamıştır. Bugün yaşanan olayların tarihsel nedenlerini, toplumda çok az bir kesim tam olarak bilince çıkarabilmiştir. Gerek görsel gerekse de yazılı basında sorun ya çok dar bir temelde (Erdoğan’ın tekrar seçilmesi) ya da yanlış bir bağlamda (Suriye’de rejim değişikliği) tartışılmakta ve temelde olayları hareket ettiren dinamik ya da dinamiklerin yapısı tam olarak kavranılmamaktadır. Olayların tarihsel arka planını inceleyen ve çözümleyen iki uzun yazı[1]ile bunu yapmış olduğumuz için burada artık sorunun bu yanı üzerinde durmayacağız.

When asked why the current Department of Justice might be investigating him, former CIA Director John Brennan answered, as was his wont, with a complete lie: “I am clueless about what it is exactly that they may be investigating me for.”
Clueless? Hardly. Brennan knows full well that his fingerprints are on some of the greatest scandals of the last decade. These machinations have threatened the very integrity of our institutions and elections.
When asked why the current Department of Justice might be investigating him, former CIA Director John Brennan answered, as was his wont, with a complete lie: “I…
He has a record of serially lying to Congress, the public, and the media, and doing so emphatically.
In 2011, as the government’s chief counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan absurdly insisted that the Obama administration’s drone strikes along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border had not killed a single civilian noncombatant. Yet multiple sources proved the claim was clearly false. In truth, the number of innocents killed was likely somewhere between 50 and 70.
In 2014, as director of the CIA, Brennan lied again, doubling down by denying that CIA operatives were hacking into U.S. Senate staffers’ computers.
“As far as the allegations of the CIA hacking into Senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth. . . . We wouldn’t do that. I mean, that’s just beyond the, you know, the scope of reason in terms of what we do.”
Here, too, he was caught lying and forced to apologize—but never charged with perjury.
@HaleakalacraterThere are less and less insects (thank you RoundUp) so have you tried hand-pollinating them with a soft pain brush? Some plants, like tomato plants are self pollinating but even then, sometimes you have to give them a hand by gently shaking the plant like if wind made them move a bit.
Some others, like bell peppers, if you pollinate them, can lose their flowers if they have too much water. I would look it up with search criteria being zucchini loses flowers or something similar.
Oh and for my cucumbers, I seem to notice they are male flowers and female flowers which bear the fruit. After a time, the male flowers fall...
Your zucchini plant is covered in lovely blossoms. Then one morning you walk out to your garden to find all those blossoms lying on the ground. Read this article to learn why zucchini blossoms fall off plants.
@HaleakalacraterExcellent. It's time-consuming if you have to hand pollinate but quite frankly, when I take care of my garden I really enjoy it, so much in fact. It's my way of being in touch with nature. And it's also that bulb moment over your head when you do something that helps your plants along. I might have to shut up, I'm starting to sound like a loony. 😂
@Haleakalacrater @Chronic-YonicYou can tell the male and female flowers pretty easily: male one are on a longer stalk, female ones have a tiny fruit behind them. The unopened ones at the bottom of this picture: right is male, left is female.
@HaleakalacraterI haaaate round up. Everyone around us treats the ever loving shit out of their lawns and we are the hand pulling up of weeds jerks. This probably explains why only my tomatoes seem to do well, even though we have multiple bumblebee hives in our neighborhood 🙁 And I had to beg our neighbors to not disturb them.
@astarsscreams I wonder if it’s better to reduce lawn and have just have garden everywhere if there’s adequate sunlight. Maybe planting beds with perennials instead of LAWN
@HebrideanHecate @HaleakalacraterBecause Americans are afraid of bees. I admit to being afraid of wasps and yellow jackets (they attack you for hot dogs here), but honey bees? Yeah they’re not scary. And I love bumblebees.
@astarsscreams @HebrideanHecate @HaleakalacraterThey're so bloody aggressive and sting, OMG. Contrary to bees, they don't die if they lose their stingers, so sting away they do!
@HebrideanHecate @astarsscreams I just got stung by a brown paper wasp this weekend he hit me once in each hand it hurt like hell! Went away in about an hour. Yellow jackets burn so bad though that is an awful sting!
@astarsscreams @HaleakalacraterI actually had to have 4 wasp nests destroyed last week, I don't like doing anything like that, but they were up under the eaves of the house and they were getting arsey around outside. Had they been elsewhere in garden, further from house would maybe have left them, but had trouble with them there before and couldn't go outside in peace.
@HebrideanHecate @Haleakalacrater @Chronic-YonicA couple of years ago some of these were spotted in Washington state and it literally became like a national news story about trying to prevent them from taking hold in the US because of the damage they could cause to native honey bees.
@HebrideanHecate @HaleakalacraterThey’re wonderful books. We live by Wisconsin and I’ve been up to the north woods where some of the books take place 😀
@HebrideanHecate @HaleakalacraterI haven’t seen that one. I need to add the little house books to our children’s collection. I read them at the library, but it’s nice to have classics in the house.

Fuck me, the comcast shit is overriding the DNS settings. I was afraid of that....thing is I used opendns as a test and those are showing up along side comcast DNS.
@dcc @verita84 dnssec can definitely work to verify tampering (or lack thereof) across the wire, but it's not for everyone. introduces latency in the request-cycle, and if by chance you have clock-skew it can cause problems.
a nice alternative is running a local resolver (pick one) and tunneling the requests over wireguard to a vps endpoint. this way tcp/53 udp/53 are forced up the wire and xfinity/comcast/whoever can't fetch and rewrite/steer it.

Just saw a post hypothesising that Fedi is populated by the most privileged/wealthy people across social media; asking that people respond to a poll with how much money they have, so that this data can be passed to a marketing person.
I think, to really get the most out of a retro system, you need to at least be an interested amateur with programming. That was almost expected in the 80s -- that you would learn some programming language or another and make the software you wanted. The passive consumption model was much less important back then.
I mean, you can still have a good time just playing old and new games on these things. If that's your bag, then I support it fully. But if you think you might be interested in learning to program, you can do a lot worse than learning to code for a C64 or a Sinclar Speccy.
it helped that you could grab a book like ‘80 programs to manage your personal finance in the basic language’ etc. with a clear path of learning code to accomplish something personally useful instead of just coding for the sake of slogging through some incomprehensible corporate bullshit. a whole ecosystem of ‘computer as universal tool’ vs. subscribing to the least worst software package on the market etc.
The most fun I have with my XP era machines is building software with older tools. C# and .NET come to mind, mostly because it's the toolchain I used to use before I stopped caring about computers and software in about 2019...
Thats also why that generation is/was so successful in IT. I basically got into programming out of curiosity what all those things I need to type in to load game are. Also back then you could tweak those games. I remember reading I believe Pirates as it was game written in Basic and learning so much stuff.
My roof sprinkler experiment was a success. It reduced my air conditioning by half. If you have well water or aren’t raped by water cartels I suggest it. My water schedule is 15 on and an hour off for evaporation. I just used a flat soaker/spray hose and a cheap chink WiFi hose valve. I 3d printed peak vent hose holders to get the north and south sides of the roof.
@eriner I takes the whole 15 to completely wet the roof and it still works well in humid air. If I sunk more money into the system I could make a nice grid and really tune it for some short spray times. Probably next year. Shit maybe I’ll plumb in a spigot to the roof while I’m doing the AC pex. Less ghetto than the hose running along the fascia. Slightly less ghetto anyway!
@Wtdrisco I’m asking. My little bottle with the silicone holder for my backpack is almost gone.

Seems like this would be the ideal place to sell them.

“Come on Eileen” is a teenage love song, as the lyrics imply. Eileen is just now blossoming into a woman, and the singer appears to be one of her peers. The majority of the song is dedicated to his attempts to – succinctly put – get intimate with her. However, he does not perceive this as an act of lust. Rather he believes that his love for her will endure forever.
One thing that's clear, which I guess I've always known:
Politicians in America love getting drunk, having sex, and making money. Those are their three primary motivations. They may accidentally do something positive now and then.
A plurality of Ukrainians believe that, within ten years, their state will be "a country with a ruined economy and a large outflow of people," according to a new report from the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology.
The study asked respondents to choose the most likely between two futures: one with a Ukraine in tatters and one with a prosperous nation as part of the European Union. Forty-seven percent chose the more pessimistic option.
This is a vast change from October 2022, when the same question was asked, and 88% saw a bright future ahead, with only 5% responding negatively to the question.
According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, over 6.7 million Ukrainians have left the country since the Russian invasion in February 2022.
A whole flock of them ended up here in my gentrified proglib coastal california town and they ARE being pandered with guided tours, their flag flying from the civic building, the local press touting their 'refugee' presence as an indication of 'caring', all in the hope their upper middle class displaced selves will spend their money on the overpriced real estate here.
Retrocomputing is as much about a community doing things for each other as it is about the neat toys or the cool old fashioned games. It's as much a reaction to and against the Way Things Are as it is anything else -- the Way Things Are fucking sucks, and any alternative is worth preserving.
I just watched a YouTube video called “Movies Historians Absolutely Despise” and once again, I’m reminded of how carelessly, even dangerously, “history” has been treated in mainstream culture.
It’s not just the inaccuracies. It’s the way those inaccuracies get sold to us as truth.
Many of the films highlighted were marketed as “based on real events,” when in fact, they were strategically crafted lies, for dramatic effect.

What we consumed as harmless entertainment turned out to be a delivery mechanism for full-blown propaganda, narratives completely untethered from reality, but deeply effective in shaping what people believe.
The result? Entire generations walking around believing stories that were intentionally manufactured to protect the power, prestige, and perspective of the privileged.
When you grow up believing these stories, taught in schools, reinforced in media, echoed in everyday conversation, undoing them doesn’t just take learning something new. It requires unlearning everything you thought you knew.
That’s why the impact of misinformation and disinformation is so hard to challenge.
Because when a lie is wrapped in nostalgia, repetition, and collective belief, it doesn’t feel like a lie. It feels like “common sense.” It feels like “truth.”
So much of what we’re told is “fact” is actually fabrication, designed to preserve the status quo. And when that status quo has always served you, it becomes easier to defend the lie than to face the cost of truth.
This realization has made it increasingly difficult to trust the intentions of people and institutions I’m not in community with.
Because without shared values, without accountability, without relationship, truth becomes negotiable. And liberation becomes impossible.
That’s why I’m building spaces for truth-telling and unlearning. For people who are ready to go beyond the myths, challenge what we’ve inherited, and create new narratives rooted in honesty, liberation, and equity.
If you’re feeling the same way, if you’ve been questioning what’s real, what’s right, and what’s worth rebuilding, join us inside the Profit Without Oppression (PWO) community.
This is not just a learning space. It’s a doing space. A place for people ready to lead differently, live more fully, and divest from the lie that profit requires harm.

"Freeek!" is a song written and performed by English singer George Michael. The song contains samples from "Try Again" by Aaliyah, "Breathe and Stop" by Q-Tip, and "N.T." by Kool & the Gang. The video was directed by Joseph Kahn, who is also responsible for U2's Elevation and Hero by Enrigue Inglesias. Filmed only in three days at Universal Backlot Studios in LA ...but post productions took several weeks. It took an hour to get George into the red suit. The suit had various pieces which were put on seperately and then screwed together.
I really like this video; it’s vibrant, natural, and taps into the essence of human nature (after all, sex is essential for the survival of our species). While I’m not the biggest fan of George Michael, this video truly broke the boundaries of what could be shown on MTV back in the day.
