I discovered when I graduated from Computer Science I prefer people to programming. I toot about Privacy and about how RFC1984 relates to that. I'm concerned by the threat of mass data collection and surveillance. I like to raise awareness of this RFC: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1984

andre, to ipv6
@andre@fedi.jaenis.ch avatar

Hm, so because I am so eager to understand things I know have the task to explain #NeighborDiscoveryProtocol of #IPv6 tomorrow.

From what I understand, I can think of multicast of like topics in MQTT:
One sender and whoever is interested can read from it. New hosts are subscribed to it when they go online.

By setting certain flags in #ICMPv6 their are messages for routers and neighbors. One for request and a matching respond (called solicitation and advertisement).

Now I would love to have a #SysAdmin confirm my understanding.

Because the teacher's explanation: 🤷

@andre you want to ask @dentangle as he's been working with multicast as he founded @librecast .

@andre you may want to look at libmld for the neighbourhood discovery stuff.

There's a massive elephant in the room when it comes to . How do you recruit folks to help with building?

Just why is your community pipeline limited? Could it per chance be your public behaviour as the BDFL?

I mean you realise your community is more than just the code right?

@z428 It really does. I do appreciate the strain that maintainers are going through.

They do need the support. But they do need to be open to considering what extra support they may need.

Including listening to their folks who may hint that they are being a bit of an asshole.

@Life_is @theresnotime @brooke @Raymond

We have institutional memory though. How our peers act in other FOSS projects that we may be involved in can make that sort of behavior seem acceptable.

To me this is more, how do we foster community, rather than I want to dictate your conversation. I don't.

Its more I'd like a bit more empathy before the reply.

I mention the BDFL as that happened to be in the examples in the post I wrote. But we are all ambassadors for our communities.

@tanepiper I'm still surprised they try to claim that Eurovision was ever apolitical. It never has been.

But yeah. It will be a cluser fuck.

Twitter co-founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey caused a minor social media ripple last week when he left the Bluesky board… a project he founded and initially funded in his Twitter days. He’s now given a (slightly confused) interview explaining why.

He tells the interviewer he wants social media curation-algorithm choice (me too!). But he’s left the one major platform (Bluesky) which provides it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

He left because Bluesky is providing moderation tools some users wanted. And it’s too focused on the (slick, Twitter-like) app layer. But how else do you get the critical mass of users to make the underlying protocol worth connecting to? There were endless complaints from non-nerds that Mastodon/the Fediverse was just too complicated for non-techies to understand and use.

He thinks the Bluesky Public Benefit Corporation is too slick a business. How else do you attract continued funding, without relying on flaky billionaires? 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤷🏻‍♂️ Also: he’s a wannabe cypherpunk, who I don’t think has learnt much from that movement’s experiences with “freedom technologies” in the 90s/00s 😵‍💫

He also has many confused thoughts about X/Twitter since he left (it’s all good, apparently.) I’m not sure he’s much of a loss to Bluesky.

@tanepiper @ian That struck me as well.

Lotta tech bros seem not to get the idea of freedom of association.

Sometimes there's a part of me that really feels the need to hit them on the nose with a rolled up copy of the universal declaration of human rights.

"Freedom of Technology" my arse!

@stefano I came upon it after noting the recent discussions between Linus Torvalds and Kees Cook .

It's nice that there's not much swearing now. But I think Linus perhaps needs to reflect on some of his behavior. It's still toxic.

Linus demonstrating that any clear and well-reasoned proposal can still be attacked using nothing more than SHOUTY CAPS and calling it "idiotic".

Deftly ignoring direct questions, and side-stepping all attempts at logical discussion by deliberately and repeatedly mis-quoting the other person.

@kees I am in awe of your patience and calm 😉

I'm not sure it's sunk in. The swearing has reduced perhaps. Still toxic behavior though.

If you're curious about Nix this is a paid opportunity.

@nixos_org @NGIZero

My project @librecast benefited from last years #SummerOfNix when we applied through @review

We are still benefiting now as our package maintainers agreed to keep packaging us.

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/310197

So if you are curious about how to package for #NixOs perhaps there is also a project you'd love to contribute to and have in Nix. This is your chance to learn and work with other folks.

Looking at archived #multicast projects from the 1990s. I feel a little sad.

All these projects with different distributed use cases for multicast.

It's not just for streaming.

https://web.archive.org/web/20150924034926/http://www.infres.enst.fr/~dax/guides/multicast/mdownload.html

I wish some of the folks who worked on these projects were on the fediverse.

#librecast wants to bring back multicast. We want to do more with it.

At it's heart multicast is networking with consent. From the very fact it is pub/sub

@randahl I'm reminded somewhat about the Vietnam war.

Human life appears to be cheap. Russian's children and also Ukraine's children.

"come on fathers don't hesitate
send your sons off before it's too late
and you can be the first ones on your block
to have your boy come home in a box"

Like I said crates.

Its utterly appalling the waste of live to old mens vanity and love of nostalgia.

Putins end of live crisis.

@vfrmedia @randahl Well, when you have a society where as a man you're expected to not really express your difficulties in a cult of a "strong man", this is what happens.

You become toxic to show how strong you are. Or toxic when you feel weak and ashamed so you need to beat someone else up.

Looks like a storm later, which almost certainly means a power cut.

Time to upgrade my kernel then, if I'm going to have to reboot.

My main laptop hasn't had a battery since last year, and my knackered UPS is currently telling me it can provide me with 0 minutes of uptime (when I've finished compiling, I might get back to 3 minutes).

I've never encountered a bear.

I have found herds of cows to be very disquieting. You do not want to be in a field with them when they are calving.

Although really they are scary all the time.

You hear a large rumbling. Then the herd appear and then they stop. Just watching you.

@mikedev The ones round us are ok. Although occasionally one farmer keeps forgetting to swap out the batteries for his fence. So they get out and wander around the neighbourhood.

Sheep can be vicious as well if they get scared. Although I remember the time the farmer didn't separate the lambs far enough and the mothers went looking for them. A ewe is hella protective.

@mikedev I have spent nights camping in a forest with boars.

That's not great for a good night of sleep. Especially if you stupidly still had bread in your tent and they can smell it.

@jalcine Really thoughtful post.

Being a tech worker is a very specific thing as well. Although I started thinking of myself as an IT Professional in the Oil Industry it's much the same. Toiling in the service of companies that are damaging our biosphere.

Its why I try to work towards another way.

I want him to be able to say when he stands in the House and presents the petition for an official Fediverse server that he himself is the first Canadian MP to be on the Fediverse!

Boost for yes! I am going to show him this post! I'm counting on you, literally! 🔥 🙏 2️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ 🙏
