@evacide@hachyderm.io We still pay a lot of our bills by check. Here in the US, electronic payment remains risky despite it being 2026.
#OpenSourceTip: when showing up in a new open source community/ecosystem for the first time, do not immediately propose major organizational changes.
An oldie, but still meme of the day today:

@joshua@pigeons.club This article is propaganda. Not a single actual Democratic party leader is quoted in it; just republican-funded think tanks.
So it's the NYT here that's at fault. Which isn't new.

Based on my following of current legal cases, I think it's entirely possible that in a year or two we'll suddenly be rolling large OSS codebases back to 2023. And won't that be fun!

@futurebird I also like the fake certification for it.
IEEE-299 describes a method of measuring shielding effectiveness.
So that's like saying "Certified to Relative Humidity Standards".

@mattblaze@federate.social This isn't surprising, given the mechanical lock industry. A prominent lock company of "high-security" warehouse locks had a lock that could be defeated with a plastic card of the right softness/hardness. They supressed this info for 20 years by suing anyone who disclosed it into NDAship, until they finally couldn't anymore and went out of business.
Joshua Lee is going to tell us where to store our #observability data in Ballroom A of the #CloudNativeDayLA track at @socallinuxexpo@social.linux.pizza
pgBackRest project is officially offline due to lack of support for the maintainers:

Replying to
@mattblaze The excuse the industry has always used is that it's a major logistical effort to replace/upgrade thousands of physical locks when a hack is reported, so they need years of secrecy to do so. Of course, they instead use that secrecy to not do anything at all.
Kryponite locks is possibly the only exception to this.

@gwynnion@mastodon.social There's been speculation since the 80s about how the American Empire would end. Nobody guessed right.
Reminder that #Seattle #Kubernetes Meetup is TONIGHT!
Drop by, we have some great speakers.
Kicking off the #PlatformEngineering room for the #CloudNativeDayLA track at @socallinuxexpo@social.linux.pizza with @gsaenger@m6n.io explaining what a Developer Platform is and how to choose one.
Ballroom B, join us!

Really good turnout this year. If you missed it, you'll want to come next year.
Anyone #hiring a data plumbing geek? Fedora contributor Michael Winters has taught himself a whole ton about ETL, Iceberg, Postgres, and more, if someone is looking for a data wrangler.

@annaleen@wandering.shop @charliejane@wandering.shop Bought! Thank you so much for doing this.
Red Hat is hiring a Community Architect for Finance Sector OSS. This is for someone with experience running open source projects used by banks etc.:

@britt@mstdn.games If you want a bigger picture on this: The Chubb Group bought up all of the highly-rated pet insurance companies, and are taking advantage of the fact that pet insurance is almost entirely unregulated.
We had to cancel ours. They increased the price by 150% (with zero claims), both over our old premium and above the price they advertise.
#MastodonAdmin database tip: if you need to increase max_connections on PostgreSQL, make sure to check what work_mem is set to. If max_connections X work_mem is more than double the RAM you have on the server, maybe lower work_mem.
work_mem is non-shared per-backend memory, so you don't want to OOM.

@kevin@mastodon.km6g.us @bkuhn@floss.social @richardfontana@mastodon.social We completed Phase I. You'll be getting email soon as to whether you want to work on Phase II. Stuff got delayed by the amount of attention that OSAID needed.
Etcd 3.5.7 is now available!
This release fixes several major reported bugs, including one that can cause your cluster to fail restart. Upgrade as soon as you can.

@britt@mstdn.games Yeah, but at $80/month, it won't take long for us to have a fund which is larger than the insurance payout.

Join us on May 14 for two exciting presentations about managing large-scale infrastructure.
First, Aman Singh of Microsoft will present Drasi, an open source project for automated, change-driven infrastructure management.
Then, David Zeir and Neelay Shah of Nvidia will present Dynamo, their open source tool for scalable LLM serving on top of Kubernetes.
Microsoft will sponsor pizza and drinks for this meetup, and Reperio Health will host. RSVP Here: https://www.meetup.com/cloud-native-pdx/events/314391212

@ifin@infosec.exchange Community dev tip: that blog post, and your website, should spell out what IFIN stands for, and ideally have a link to your mission statement. I just read that blog and I still have no idea who you are or what you're hoping to accomplish.

@bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org @cwebber@social.coop @ossguy@fedi.copyleft.org @richardfontana@mastodon.social @evan@cosocial.ca ... no existing commercial AI tool complies with these prospective regulations and potential court precendents, which means that should things go the way of strong regulation and limits on model training -- or in the direction of transfer of copyright obligations to the user -- we'll be ripping out a bunch of stuff from OSS projects.

@bkuhn@floss.social @richardfontana@mastodon.social Hey, Bradley, we already started a review of old licenses a year ago. It's been taking some time since there are a LOT of old licenses. I take it this is something you'd want to be involved in?
Catch: we're using proprietary software to track the review.

@bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org @cwebber@social.coop @ossguy@fedi.copyleft.org @richardfontana@mastodon.social @evan@cosocial.ca There's multiple undecided cases in Europe which show that the possibility that training violations of copyright may be very much a thing in the EU. As an example:
https://www.ipcuria.eu/case?reference=C-250/25
Due to this, the EU government is debating some potentially very strong regulations on model training, including a requirement to pay all copyright holders before ingestion:

@stonebear2@hachyderm.io I tried Infomaniak as an alternative to Gandi, and was disappointed. From a security standpoint they are excellent, but features, UI/UX, and customer service are distinctly meh.
