@LillianVS same exactly. I managed to recruit a mod from /r/Cardano for my lemmy.world Cardano community. But, I created quite a few other communities that I’d love to pass the mod duties ont as well. In each case, I started them because I wanted to protect them from nefarious actors; properly hand over the reins to trusted community members.
I want to transfer my mod duties at lemmy.world for:
#Machinists
#GuitarAmps
#RedneckEngineering
#Offset
#Darktable
#GIMP
#Krita

This is a great overview of how to fix the scourge of inline'd SVG in today's web apps:

I will only add that the React overhead of using JSX as a templating system for SVG is dramatic, and not in a good way.

Just for fun/the aesthetic I decided to set up an old flatpanel g5 ppc imac and start a new game of Fallout 1 on it.
Results: it makes the case fans just howl the entire time. I also found a bug with getting poison cured at the first town.
The distance you can scroll away from the player character is actually limited, which restores the feeling of exploration that was kinda missing in my modern rerelease copy

Incident 2: I proactively destroyed a raider camp, which I think bugged a quest that was *about* to trigger where I rescue the mayor's daughter from them. I came back to town and the mayor started attacking on sight

Incident 1: I spent a long time exploring all of vault 15 except for, apparently, the one small area that would actually count that part of the main story quest as complete

While the game is pretty fun, after the first few hours I just had a wiki open at all times. Before that I kept hitting frustrating moments where I accidentally missed the criteria for completing a quest or else somehow glitched it by doing something unanticipated

I managed to actually get the water chip and get back to vault 13! I know this doesn't technically count as beating the game but it feels like I beat the game. Having the explicit time limit removed gives everything that comes after a definite post-game feel

“Elon must be destroying the site on purpose he can’t be that stupid!” Last week a billionaire imploded, literally, because he thought he could outsmart the laws of physics. Never being told “no” makes a person stupid.

This is hilarious. It appears that Twitter is DDOSing itself.
The Twitter home feed's been down for most of this morning. Even though nothing loads, the Twitter website never stops trying and trying.
In the first video, notice the error message that I'm being rate limited. Then notice the jiggling scrollbar on the right.
The second video shows why it's jiggling. Twitter is firing off about 10 requests a second to itself to try and fetch content that never arrives because Elon's latest genius innovation is to block people from being able to read Twitter without logging in.
This likely created some hellish conditions that the engineers never envisioned and so we get this comedy of errors resulting in the most epic of self-owns, the self-DDOS.
Unbelievable. It's amateur hour.

@adr @oxidecomputer So let's say you're running a small-ish IT dept at a university. You have some aging Dell (maybe even Sun/Oracle) hardware that needs a refresh. And you probably need a new SAN, maybe a new switch, your existing Hypervisor software has reached end-of-life...
You look at moving to the cloud, but the monthly costs are very high, you're worried about vendor lock in, and the systems you need to talk to are all on-campus. Most likely you have cap ex funding (one-time, big money) but very little on-going funding. You'll probably buy some on-prem hardware instead. You have a lot of decisions you have to make about capacity, compatibility, reliability...
You know you need to handle a really wide range of services. Some of those are commodity software like Drupal or Jira, with relatively good security stories. Some are research or community projects with no commercial support and a less than rosy security story. That's exactly the kind of thing VMs are good at. Maybe you want containers on top of that, but you probably want VMs underneath anyway. You need a new hypervisor, and you need fail-over, live migration, snapshots, backups, cloning. Do you go with VMware, which is a pretty expensive monthly fee, Proxmox, maybe OpenStack if you have the staff? Do the features you need actually work? (Looking at you, oVirt...).
Now, all of a sudden, Oxide comes along. Your just buy A Big Rack. It has storage, networking, compute, and a hypervisor. You don't need to run many small RFPs and wade through marketing copy. You don't need to worry about jumbo frames or Ceph configuration or delivery timelines or competing interface fail-over standards and multiple support contracts and on and on. It works with the funding model. And the people behind it actually seem to care about the software.
For overburdened, underpaid sysadmins in higher-ed, anything on the infra side that gets out of the way and let's them concentrate on their day to day problems is a huge win. If they pull off the software, they'll be a compelling alternative to Dell/VMware.

Can any #fediverse / #ActivityPub devs take a look at a proposal I submitted to #kbin and #lemmy?
Since the lemmy issue is getting overrun with people talking about other proposals, I'm thinking about submitting this as a #FEP. Is that still a useful process? I don't know how many projects look to FEPs for implementation guidance.

standing was based on a lie:
'Stewart told The Associated Press he never submitted the request and didn't know his name was invoked in the lawsuit until he was contacted this week by a reporter from The New Republic, which first reported his denial.
"I was incredibly surprised given the fact that I've been happily married to a woman for the last 15 years," said Stewart, who declined to give his last name for fear of harassment and threats.'

"And a deeper look at the red-state exodus that followed — eight states and counting have now pulled out of ERIC — shows a policy blueprint for an election denial movement, spearheaded by a key Trump ally, eager to change virtually every aspect of how Americans vote.
Even if it means making voter fraud easier to get away with."
