Anything and everything Amateur Radio and beyond. Heavily into Open Source and SDR, working on a multi band monitor and transmitter.

Build a website on your preferred platform, you’re already using WP.
Create a static version of it. There’s plugins for exactly that purpose.
Put the static files on a web host, I use s3, but you can use whichever you prefer.
When you update the site on WP, run the static extraction again and update your actual site.
Why do you see this as USA only?
Because the announcement doesn’t use UTC to announce the event and there’s absolutely no chance that anyone outside the US knows when some random timezone is, or if daylight savings is active in that timezone or not at the time of the event.
The announcement also tells me that the organisation is run out of the USA, not a place universally known for its inclusivity or global consideration. Reinforced by a text only image with no alt text.
I think a tech workers coalition is an interesting and potentially useful idea, but the announcement doesn’t even contain a URL to the organisation.
Which leads to my conclusion, a USA only affair.
I’d be delighted to be wrong, but that’s what the announcement conveyed to me.
So … USA tech workers only?
This is the job for the OS.
You can run most Linux systems with stupid amounts of swap and the only thing you’ll notice is that stuff starts slowing down.
In my experience, only in extremely rare cases are you smarter than the OS, and in 25+ years of using Linux daily I’ve seen it exactly once, where oomkiller killed running mysqld processes, which would have been fine if the developer had used transactions. Suffice to say, they did not.
I used a 1 minute cron job to reprioritize the process, problem “solved” … for a system that hadn’t been updated for 12 years but was still live while we documented what it was doing and what was required to upgrade it.
Linux aggressively caches things.
4 GB of RAM is not running out of memory.
If you start using swap, you’re running into a situation where you might run out of memory.
If oomkiller starts killing processes, then you’re running out of memory.
So … now we have plausible gibberish … also known as Autocorrect on Steroids … that includes corporate sponsorship… seems like we’re moving closer to the true meaning of advertising with every iteration.
Next we’ll be asked to pay for this feature … oh wait.
I can’t wait until the Assumed Intelligence bubble finally bursts and takes with it some of the largest companies in the world … perhaps this is how we finally address climate change.
Because they’re all copying each other’s homework?
Well, unless it came back in the last 25 minutes, it’s working fine in Western Australia.
That’s interesting, since my list of addresses contains numerous ones that don’t exist and nobody here has ever used.
Interesting.
I see a list of email addresses.
I am not sure what you are talking about.
I have a domain registered and can see exactly which addresses have been compromised by what, without payment.
Given the massive layoffs happening under the Assumed Intelligence banner, the answer has always been: “cheaper labour”
Apparently people who actually know how to do their ICT job are too expensive, right until the shit hits the fan, at which point it’s “drop everything and help me, now!”
Organisations are no longer run by Founders, instead they’re run by accountants and lawyers who only care about shareholder value, not the societal or environmental impact.
When the bubble finally explodes we’re going to be looking at an altered economic and technology landscape, if we don’t self ignite before that.
It’s likely going to take down whole companies if not countries.
The open-source alternative to Mailchimp, Brevo, Mailjet, Listmonk, Mailerlite, and Klaviyo, Loop.so, etc.
That’s the first paragraph of the project page.
Not to rain on the parade, but in my experience, having had to email customers in bulk … sending tickets and logistics requirements for large events … I can tell you that self hosting this is a complete and utter waste of time.
You’ll get blocked before the first batch of emails leave your mailer.
Not even paid MailChimp or Campaign Monitor could guarantee delivery.
The problem is not the platform for sending email, it’s the centralised nature of email hosting, much of it is behind Google and Microsoft hosted services.
Here’s how we fix a society that’s already drowning in advertising … more advertising.
Russell Howcroft would think that this was the Duck’s Nuts!
Docker is not virtualisation, although it’s a common misconception.
A better way to think of it is a security wrapper around untrusted processes.
You can prove this for yourself by looking at all the processes running in a Docker host while one or more containers are running, you’ll see all the processes listed.
In other words, you don’t need a CPU capable of virtualisation to run Docker.
I wonder if the influx of slop contributions can be stemmed by a legal document that makes the contributor legally liable for their submission.
Seems like lawyers have been learning the hard way to be accountable for their slop, perhaps these lessons can be leveraged in the open source community.
