Fediverse

@vfrmedia @oli @onepict

Yeah, their method is puzzling. They have only listed one of my accounts and it's the smallest one (fedi.garden).

Possibly they've got a queue to work through or something?

I thought at first it was a server setting protecting me, but that would prevent all my accounts being listed, not just some. Seems random really.

Also puzzling why they are focusing on Mastodon so much, they have fewer listings from Tiktok despite it being a much more influencerish platform.

Apparently left-handed people can't use a fountain pen as the left hand smudges the ink as they write. I call bullshit on that.

@Codeberg For a few seconds I got a working codeberg connection. This leads me to the conclusion that the problem is on the perimeter and not on the core service itself. But that's just educated guesswork. It does give me hope that the service will be restored soon and dataloss will not be a problem. @codebergstatus

@cstross @davidgerard I guess the main reason and USP (Unique Selling Point) for offshore datacenters (and those in space) will be "Run your illegal workloads at a place that is definitely outside of any jurisdiction so no one can seize your machines and data !1!!".

(Please no conspiracy theories about AI bros attacking codeberg etc. Let's all send our best wishes to the good folks at @Codeberg @codebergstatus to get the service up and running again, OK? :)

Doggo was unwell yesterday

Today he is a stinky fart boy and my office smells baaaaaad 🤢

@ellieraejaye love that these look like real CD designs from that age!

@BastilleBSD By complete coincidence, today I am wearing this.

@simondueckert Huh? Ne, ich nutze einfach Swapfiles auf dem Server, weil ich mir nicht mehr RAM greifen kann.

@mykillz "Auslagern von swap auf andere Hoster" ist wild

@dojoe I hear a vinegar trap helps with these

UPDATE 2026-07-31 12:36 CEST: It seems that codeberg is working again!

Not so happy #SysAdminDay for my friends at @Codeberg Not only is codeberg itself down at the moment, the mastodon instance they use for status updates at @codebergstatus is also down :(

@bert_hubert het is misleidend te zeggen dat die Nobelprijs "naar een AI model gaat" en niet naar de mensen die het ontwikkeld hebben (de namen staan er niet eens bij).

het voedt dezelfde hype cycle als de "rogue AI" die allerlei bedrijven aan het hacken zijn...

@fionescu hey, yes, still in Bucharest! Is Modulab active? I actually never came across them in my searches and would love to pay a visit if possible. So far, nothing else with a physical presence, or full on creative technology focus, unfortunately, that I could find.

There’s dothidden but it’s more of an online community nowadays, with a strong security focus: https://dothidden.xyz/about/ meeting once a month on the last Wednesday, for talks about various hackerish topics, at FMI.

There’s https://www.robotics.unibuc.ro which is opening its doors to the larger community lately as far as I know, getting closer to a hardware-ish hackerspace without the commercial focus (like how Nod is, disappointingly).

But these are the only ones I know of. I also unfortunately managed to find closer knit groups around people focused on startups/AI stuff but that is absolutely not my cup of tea, so I won’t recommend those (unless you ask).

Hope this helps you! Let me know if you find any others, and let’s keep in touch.
