if you're responsible for a FOSS project, it's now time to consider how you can run your project without relying on the US.
like, using GitHub is fine. Continue using it - I do, too, and there's a lot of value of having projects centralized in one place.
but you **need** to make sure you have a contingency plan. is your repo with all branches and metadata backed up somewhere else? do you own your project's website, discussion forums, or something else that allows you to point your users and contributors to a new place if you need to?
can you continue work on your project if US-big-tech decides your very existence is no longer allowed?
now is the time to take inventory and build backups.
@trans_lykanthropie @limbic awoooooooo! 💜🌕🐺
@limbic I feel so happy everytime I see the moon ^.^
End results aren't as sharp/focused as I would have liked, but still kinda clear. :)
Taken on a Canon Rebel T3i/600D with a 200mm lens, f16, ISO400, 1/400 on the left and 1/16 on the right.

The biggest problem I have with GenAI is that it has totally taken away many people’s ability to evaluate what they can and cannot do.
I can tell when a skilled programmer didn’t write some code.
I can tell when a person without good writing skills wrote some text.
Never be ashamed. There is absolutely no shame at all in not being able to do something. I respect a “that’s beyond my capabilities” more than an attempt to pull the wool over my eyes with LLM garbage.
It doesn't happen often but when I get an old laptop in, that is currently on two pieces, I have to wonder if it's like this on purpose or because the end user couldn't be bothered to raise a fault until it was dead.
Like today, where the screen has come away from the lower chassis because the screws had worked loose, and the bottom cover is bent because the user has tried to force the screen back in...
@avon_deer Not forgetting the smear campaign against Corbyn
Managed to catch it on my way home from work as the clouds were rolling in for the night!
@philpem Oh! They're characters from one of the DOS sets?
I'm pretty serious about this being a returning and very strong thing for me, haha; Last night, as we were packing away all the gear from a video shoot, I looked up into the late evening sky and saw the moon shining. I felt so happy to see it again (I hadn't seen it for over a week due to weather and weird moon rise and set times) and I had to take a photo of it!
There's something magical about seeing the moon with your own eyes. 🌕🐺
fitness, weight
Weight week 3: 121.8kg
Slight weight increase over last week (although over a kilo gained from Friday morning) due to eating generally more unhealthy foods over the weekend, whilst doing a film shoot. This pretty much confirms that when I'm cooking for myself I make food that's a lot healthier.
I'm SO happy being a werewolf gal! Awooooooo!! 🏳️⚧️💜🐺🌕 https://computerfairi.es/@renbymon/113879384395363675
A few people asked if I have a list of providers, outside the United States.
YES, I have a list of Domain Registers, Web Hosting, Privacy Focused E-mail, Managed DNS, Public DNS, CDN, and VPN providers that I have confirmed as not based out of the USA or owned by a USA company.
I am interested in expanding this list, so if anyone has any suggestions, please speak up.
@hukaulaba Funnily enough I just dug my copy out of storage too! It's a big tatty but everything's there, so let me know if you need any secondary scans. :)
