Florida’s new permitless carry law goes into effect. Orange County Sheriff John Mina made clear he's not a fan of this new law, and says it may make our streets more dangerous.

Let me be clear: In order to fully block Meta from your instance, iptables/nftables drop the following:

- Every ASN owned by Facebook
- Every ASN owned by Amazon
- Every ASN owned by Level3
- Every ASN owned by Cloudflare

Then, and only then, will you be able to say "I have blocked them fully."

You will also be an island in the sun and your federated timeline will cease to contain new content because you've just isolated Everyone else as well.

I feel like not enough people really understand in their bones that when you consent to use a technology that solves a problem you don't actually have, you're agreeing to take on a complexity and dependency burden at no benefit to yourself whatsoever.

People suggested other places for me to put the videos. I passed the information along to my Technical Support Staff [my husband] and he said he'll get to it when he can.

He tells me he has other jobs as well 🤷‍♀️

Excited to have made my small contribution to @darktable. As long as open projects go, this was one of the most pleasant interactions I had. The original bug got fixed pretty quickly, and I was able to build the code locally, which uncovered another regression, which also got fixed quickly. And now the code is released, so I can stop running my local build.
