Hey

Are you a voter in MISSISSIPPI?

Did you VOTE ABSENTEE?

Are you SURE?

A bunch of absentee votes were received, but are being held back as maybe invalid. If you got hit you can contact the state and prove yours valid, but you have to act BEFORE FRIDAY AT NOON

The opposite of cloud computing is LEAF computing:

Local application logic and data
End-to-end encrypted data
Autonomous operation without non-optional dependencies
Federated capability between devices and connectivity with trusted parties

We’re testing designs for a new mobile calendar app and need a few volunteers.

You’ll look at a mobile calendar screen, walk through some basic tasks, and answer a few questions. Takes about 15 minutes, and your feedback goes directly to the design team.

As OpenMedia we're fighting back:

• Keeping the #internet open, affordable, and surveillance-free
• Holding Big Telecom (#Rogers, #Bell, and #Telus) accountable on prices & service
• Stopping surveillance in #BillC22

👉 Tell the Senate: Reform surveillance Bill C-22 http://openmedia.org/ReformC22-mtd

Fantastic surprise result in Brazil's 2026 election with Brazil's left wing former president losing the first round of voting to their Trump-esque son of their Trump-esque former president... only to come back in the second round and win the election by 3+ points.

Much of the result has been put down to rejecting Brazil's position as "Americas backyard".

It really seems like yet another data point for the world moving against Trump style politics, along with Hungary. Hopefully the US and Germany get the message.

The Canadian Senate has a chance to stop the dangerous surveillance powers inherent in Bill C-22. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/10/canadians-are-running-out-time-oppose-dangerous-c-22-surveillance-bill

Another update on mainline Linux for veux (Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G)! 🐧🚀

GPU, touchscreen, systemd, and display panel are now partially working.

And I've successfully booted Plasma Mobile, which is now fully functional! 🎉

Still more work to do, but we're making great progress toward full mainline Linux support! 🔧

2 million people today on Av. Paulista, an energy and mobilization throughout the country as has not been seen in many years. Winning or losing, we have to keep going! Good luck to us #brazil #boralula

Artists! If you have an EU Etsy shop you are now required to share your passport & a selfie with the third party provider Persona.
Otherwise you won't get any payments & your shop will be closed within 90 days. Persona has faced scrutiny over exposed database front ends & complex third-party subprocessor networks (incl. AI firms) handling user information. It is time to close my Etsy shop for good (I only kept it open for custom orders).

There is an Australian band called This Is Serious Mum. To phrase it differently they're a band from Australia (AU) called TISM. (aka AU-TISM)

Weirdly enough, their music is probably more ADHD. Make of that what you will.

It's not only that the EUID wallet prefers iOS and Android, they don't want to even look at alternatives:

It's nice that the spec is open but that only helps so much as long as 💵 goes into the proprietary software channels.

Can’t argue with science.

If you want to make something on the Fediverse, please make it. If someone tells you they don't like it or they don't think it's necessary, tell them they don't have to use it. It's a big Fediverse out there. Lots of open space.

I'm self-hosting my e-mail since two weeks ago, and it's easier than I thought. I'm using Stalwart Server and Bulwark Mail to provide the server itself and the webmail client interface.

Both are from the same developers and working great, but unfortunately there is slop in the code.

If you'd rather not use something like this, there's Docker Mail Server <https://docker-mailserver.github.io/docker-mailserver/latest/>. You'll have to edit config files sometimes, but it just works.

Anyway, I've got 10/10 score with mail-tester.com and similar websites, with everything working properly for receiving and sending messages. Not going to spam even with the evil Google and Microsoft mailboxes.

Edit: Microsoft now sends my e-mails to spam :vv: Google in the other hand drops them right into inbox, as it should.

I'm using a VM with 1 GB of RAM and 1 vCPU, it's all it takes and there are spare resources with this setup. It's using 350 MB of RAM only.

3 years and one sleepless zombie night after the apocalypse and Vincent is still better groomed than when I go to work.
