The @CCC, Europe's largest association of hackers, has updated its "Unvereinbarkeitserklaerung":

https://www.ccc.de/en/club/unvereinbarkeitserklaerung-des-ccc

Excerpt:
„Those who aim to destroy coexistence in society and work toward an alternative society with principles based on chauvinism and nationalism are working against the moral principles that unite us as a club.

The CCC declares representing racism and fascism, as well as trivialising historical and current violence, to be incompatible with a membership in our ranks.“

In 2019, Iceland became one of the first countries to approve a four-day workweek. Here's how things have been going for them.

2021: "Trials of a four-day week in Iceland were an "overwhelming success""

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57724779

2024: "Iceland’s economy is outperforming most European peers after the nationwide introduction of a shorter working week with no loss in pay."

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/25/business/iceland-shorter-working-week-economy/index.html

2025: "The effects of the shorter workweek in Iceland have extended far beyond the office."

@frameworkcomputer We challenge AMD—and NVIDIA, Micron, Samsung, SK Hynix, and everyone else in this space—to not give up on socketed memory. The future should be upgradeable!

Today is the 8th anniversary of @Liberapay's launch. Coincidentally, I have an announcement to make.

I'm looking for someone to open a new chapter in the project's history by becoming its second maintainer. That doesn't mean it's a programming job, although help in that area is always welcome. You can find a bit more information in https://github.com/liberapay/salon/issues/661 and ask any questions you have there or in private.

Please boost 🙂

Dear People attending #FOSDEM

The maintainer of #XZ is still in need of true support after they were abused by someone who tried to viciously introduce a backdoor to potentially millions of servers and computers.

They opened a Liberapay account here: https://liberapay.com/Larhzu.
They only receive 5€ a week for now…

You know XZ is crucial for lots of critical systems. Please tip them generously.and boost this message!

Hey everyone! Hate AI web crawlers? Have some spare CPU cycles you want to use to punish them?

Meet Nepenthes!

https://zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes

This little guy runs nicely on low power hardware, and generates an infinite maze of what appear to be static files with no exit links. Web crawlers will merrily hop right in and just .... get stuck in there! Optional randomized delay to waste their time and conserve your CPU, optional markovbabble to poison large language models.

Folks Pixelfed is getting slammed.

Since Meta started blocking links to Pixelfed it seems the world has discovered this wonderful public Instagram alternative picture sharing social media application (see Striesand effect).

But things that are public, rely on us to fund them. @dansup does not have a bunch of VC billionaires writing big checks for more server capacity.

If you can spare a few dollars to support public social media, right now is the time to do so!
