After 25 years, I had to take UniLang offline this week. UniLang was a language learning community I co-founded in 2001 and was very active from 2001-2010s. I can no longer guarantee the security of the very old heavily customised PHP software that runs it.
I will, however, be working on bringing a read-only archive online of the forum and some of the language resources, preserving it all for posterity.
Thanks to everyone who has been a part of this journey!

I still love tech with all my heart.
The anger and the hate that I have are directed towards humans, who have decided to turn tech into a user-hostile profit-making machine.
The anger we feel about "tech" is really about the discrepancy between what tech could be, inklings of which we have seen at the beginning of the Internet, and what it has become because of, for lack of a better word, capitalism.
So-called "tech bros" generally don't understand tech. They are not good at it. What they understand is exploitation, which they will hide behind flowery and tech-sounding buzzwords. What they do is exploit the labor of people who understand and love tech, in order to exploit everyone else.
I don't like it whenever people say, mostly jokingly, "computers were a mistake". No, computers were a good thing, and we can still do good with them. Do not let tech bros claim "computers". They are ours, not theirs.
To me, Nura is not a Linux distribution, it isn't even anything to do with software. It is first and foremost a community of likeminded people who want to see a better future and build each other up for it. The distro just happens to be what ties it all together. That is why I care more about protecting the positive environment than anything technical. I love distro development, but there would be no distro without those who help make it happen.
Nura will not be a Nazi bar.
The amazing photos that Katja de Waart took at our shared conference with @alpinelinux are now online! πΈ
We have two group pictures and many additional photos that were taken (after asking everyone in the frame, our photo policy) during talks and discussion sessions.

Need to quickly check your exposure to the compromised CA ? bgp.tools now has a banner that will show if it detects the dire situation.
The real danger is not your browser (who will upgrade quickly), but your VPN Clients, Servers (if you are using badly configured client certs) and software updates that are entirely depending on TLS
We are shipping an immediate #security update for our CA store. We recommend updating once those evaluations complete and the channels have advanced.
The small channels (#NixOS only) are ongoing and will be finished within the hour. The big channels (#NixOS/#Nixpkgs) will unfortunately take a while longer.

why do I get the feeling that FUTO's goal is actually to *weaponize* the entire concept of supporting FOSS projects
like, most people are just going to see a thing that gives FOSS projects the money that is needed to keep said projects going and leave it at that
but then people look deeper and find that it's run by some filthy entities and instead of going after the entities, they go after the people who got the money
who are mostly like everyone else and didn't know
and now you have infighting tearing the project apart in more ways than one
which feels more like what FUTO is trying to accomplish
I sincerely hope that when I come back in a few hours everything isn't still *on fire*
anything looks like magic if you don't understand it
