Dear friends from #Africa. I have been reading https://www.thecontinent.org/ for quite a while now and to me it feels like a reliable source of news by people from Africa and not news by people reporting *about* Africa from a remote western view. Would you agree or am I missing out on better news sources?

So. The democrats. Will they unite behind Kamala Harris? Will a surprise contender show up? Drama. But it doesn't really matter, IMHO. It's going to be "Trump or a future" anyway and the pressure will move towards how crazy the republicans are to sell their soul to the grifter and orange felon that made the GOP a family business (cue Marlon Brando in the Godfather). Wonderful drama, very lucrative clickbait. 2/n

I had a few hours to ponder the US situation. I am far more optimistic now than I was last week. As European citizen it took me a bit to understand that politics in the US isn't about politics but about drama, a climax and recovery, rinse and repeat. The drama is unfolding now and (I guess) until October-ish. The climax will be in November. So I focused on the (good and bad) spin doctors on all sides and clickbait needs of the media. The cards are now on the table. 1/n

FTR — I have decided to wait for #Crowdstrike publishing a post-mortem and also the reports by various national/suprantional IT security authorities. Root cause seems to have been a classic NULL pointer #Oopsie that sailed through CI/CD and testing unnoticed. That's enough for me ATM. A lot of speculation and conspiracy theories in my timeline that I will simply ignore. Let's have a fun weekend!

Going offline for a while. The root cause of the #Crowdstrike issue has been identified and a solution is being rolled out. Will be a horrible weekend for many Windows admins as automated rollout of fixes isn't always possible. You have my sympathies, fellow nerds! My timeline starts filling up with the typical "I know everything better, here's what must be done now" stuff and I am honestly not interested. Try to have a relaxing weekend!

It's like a slow motion train wreck. As the sun rises and business days start all over the world, the #Crowdstrike issue hits more and more countries and markets. South Africa, UK, Europe. This will truly be a Black Friday for many. (added the manual workaround in case you didn't already see it)

The impact of this #Crowdstrike #oopsie is severe. Affected machines can't just reboot, it needs manual intervention ATM, which is next to impossible on many affected systems. And as if things couldn't get worse, there's also the aftermath of an #Azure outage that puts 365 in a degraded state.

Dear US friends. Your task, should you accept it, is to keep Trump out of being elected as president and to repair the (not so silent) coup of the 6:3 majority at SCOTUS that will define US politics regardless of who is president.

I am stoic. I am agnostic. Why? The main reason is that I accept full responsibility for all my actions. I have no excuse for what I do. No bearded man in the sky that I can refer to (that's the agnostic part). I also recognise that my Big Thoughts can only become reality if many more people make my idea their own and I will not be the one to control/guide how „my“ ideas evolve. That's the stoic part. I still believe that sharing ideas in the open works. That's me :)

No matter what you currently read about supposed faction fights, the left in France were very pragmatic in the second round. They had 131 candidates stepping back to raise the chances of fighting the far-right. These 131 candidates sacrificed their chances for the bigger goal. I humbly tip my hat.

Was mich ganz gewaltig stört ist wie deutsche Medien kein Problem damit haben die RN in Frankreich als extrem-rechts zu bezeichnen während sie die #noAfD hier hofieren (Sommerinterview mit Chrupalla, natürlich ohne live Faktencheck) und als ganz normale Partei behandeln. Nicht vergessen: RN (die klar rechtsextrem ist, IMHO) hat im EU Parlament die Zusammenarbeit mit der #noAfD aufgekündigt, weil sie (RN) die #noAfD als zu extrem und radikal empfindet.

Decentralisation does NOT mean the whole #Fediverse should block #threads. Decentralisation means that every instance (and user) decides for themselves with whom to exchange communication. While this might look like chaos and a non-deterministic way of sharing information, it reflects the true nature of decentralisation. If you think it should be a binary decision of The Fediverse to not talk to Threads, you are still in the centralised mindset ...

2024-06-20 13:58:34

Yes, as I predicted yesterday, the #chatcontrol vote was removed from today’s council agenda. Good! But it doesn’t mean it’s over. Quite the opposite. It could come back under Hungarian presidency (IMHO rather unlikely). There will be negotiations in the background between council and commission on how to save or modify the current common position. This WILL come back. That’s for sure. Be ready to stand up again. And again.

2024-06-19 21:15:19

#Germany announces to vote NO in the council on the *current* #chatcontrol proposal, should it come to a vote tomorrow. I guess that the vote will be removed from the agenda, to avoid bad optics. But it’ll also come back soon enough, with some minor changes. That’s what my experience with Brussels has taught me.

2024-06-19 12:48:45

No #CyberResiliency without secure communication. It really is that simple. A vote for #Chatcontrol is a vote against Cyber Resiliency, dear EU.

Some libraries are already opening #OpenSeeds collections, where you can “lend” seeds to grow vegetables and flowers that are not F1-hybrids (genetically crippled seeds that you can’t propagate)with the expectation to return dried seeds after the harvest. With #ClimateChange and more decentralisation this could become really important. As an #OpenSource Evangelist I like!

I don’t know why this is so hard to understand. 2014 Russia invaded and occupied Crimea and some folks told us to let them have it so there will be peace. A few years later they invade again and now these same folks (and even more, because now it suddenly IS a war) say the same thing. “Let Russia have it so we can have peace”. Russia wants all of Ukraine and then even more. Why do so many people not understand this?

The NY case against #Trump was often described by the media as the “runt of the litter” compared to the other 3 cases. Well. It’s the only case with a conviction now. And the decision by the jury leaves zero doubt. Guilty on *all* charges. I tip my hat to the prosecutors for building a solid case and seeing it through. I tip my hat to Stormy Daniels for taking the stand and refusing to be intimidated. To Michael Cohen. And to the judge for staying laser focused on keeping the schedule.

With the ever sinking prices of solar panels, you can put them everywhere you need a vertical separation. Solar panels as fences. As cover for balconies. As walls for your shed. Just do it. Don't care too much about efficiency. Take every kWh as donation to your personal grid. And should you produce more than you need, who cares. You are already at net zero. For 20+ years. Enjoy it.

Norway, Spain and Ireland will soon be added to the UN document A/78/846 [1] that contains all UN members that formally recognise the State of Palestine. ATM the document is also missing Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and The Bahamas, since the last update was 2020-04-09 and their letters arrived after that date. After the next update the list will have 146 entries of the 193 member states.

When you have enough money, fines become simple expenses, not punishment. This is valid for rich people and big companies alike. Fines will never stop them from ignoring rules up to violating laws.

The ICC prosecutor showed diplomatic strategy by announcing his request for arrest warrants against Hamas leaders and Israeli politicians at the same time. The reactions are predictable. But by combining it this way, the message is clear. One injustice, no matter how evil, does not justify to commit another.

With #renewables, even just domestic solar panels and privately installed batteries we can get domestic electricity mostly for free in a few years in many developed regions of the world. The electricity companies will do everything to make that impossible. But their claims of a grid that can't cope only shows their centralised approach that favours big consumers is failing ;)

And now the cleanup can begin. Dear #EBU, you have a lot of explaining to do. Overdubbing the booing from the audience. Disqualifying the Netherlands. This years #Eurovision was filled with wonderful music and artists, but your politics, dear EBU, yes, YOUR politics at this event, where you loudly claim it’s unpolitical — it stinks.

I thank the techbros and VC demons for ruining the aurora experience, as a part of me now thinks that every picture I see here is AI generated. #SarcasmButOnlyHalf (I went outside for almost a hour yesterday, but didn't experience anything in the sky, maybe light pollution in Munich made it impossible)

There's a civilised way to voice your country's opinion in the UN general assembly and then there's Israel's ambassador Gilad Erdal and his paper shredder :( https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/05/1149596

So what would happen if ByteDance sells TikTok to an European company? Or is the US still just stuck in their belief that they must own the world? The question everybody avoids, IMHO. #SarcasmButOnlyHalf

@npub1gtz…qndr Bezieht sich das auf die noAfD oder selbstironisch auf Piraten statt Pirat*innen oder Piraty? Ich bin verwirrt.

Facebook/Meta starts talking about the "Extend" phase of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish as predicted:
"“You could imagine an extension to the protocol eventually — of saying like, ‘I want to support micropayments,’ or … like, ‘hey, feel free to show me ads, if that supports you.’ Kind of like a way for you to self-label or self-opt-in. That would be great,”

Preparing your smartphone for a protest: put it on the charger at home. Leave it there. Go to the protest. That's my advice. Maybe have a cheap folding phone with removable battery on you. That you only switch on in case of real urgency or when you are far away from the protest. That you have just factory reset before stepping out.

If you want to make sure that a lot of small e-mail servers (like mine) will not reach your e-mail server, because you really hate us folks trying to keep e-mail decentralised, just use the CSS blocklist by #Spamhaus. This will greatly reduce your exposure to the even weirder small admins (like me) that try to use #IPv6. Throw in UCEPROTECTL3 too to exclude us running our small, well-maintained mail servers at ISPs on small VPS or dedicated servers. #SarcasmButOnlyHalf
