The famous 69th Sniffing Brigade is asking for help.

NAFORENDUM - Kursk Peoples Republic

Support the Liberation of Kursk. Help us drive out the russian occupiers and help us rapidly support the #Kursk Peoples Republic Army!

The goal is 42.195€ (semi marathon already done), to provide a brigade involved in the operations with essential equipment.

As usual, for any donation exceeding 100€ you are free to choose a present like original #NAFO patches.

Thanks!

The reason the Western world is so fucked up right now is that the mainstream media normalizes the extremism of fascists by not even being willing to accurately describe what they are.

🎁 HAPPY BIRTHDAY OpenStreetMap! You've come a long way in the last 20 years. 😍

Here's @gravitystorm at the rear of server racks in UCL after a long work session in 2009 extending our rack depth and re-organising our servers.

"Atomic Habits" - te bija gan jauni atklājumi, gan jau pašai uz savas ādas pārbaudītas metodes, kas strādā. Protams, nekādas metodes nestrādās, ja nav gribas vispār kaut ko uzsākt. Patika, šķita noderīgi, bet varu piekrist viedoklim, ka par garu. Man tas netraucēja, jo patīk, ka izskaidro un ar piemēriem parāda.

Fascist Russia is carrying out a genocide of the Ukrainian people.

Thousands of Ukrainian children are kidnapped by the foreign invaders. Their families, names, language and culture are stolen from them.

Wanted for arrest for the genocide of Ukrainians, the russian Maria Lvova-Belova says some 730,000 children have been kidnapped to Russia, and that 2,000 children were taken from Ukrainian orphanages.

Where is the world speaking up for these tens of thousands of Ukrainians?

Beware the phony multiplication!

As an archivist, let me say clearly:

Modern copyright law is actively harmful to the preservation and study of our culture.

It harms artists by giving undue power to publishers. It harms artists by limiting remixes. It harms preservation and research efforts.

It's broken. It's bad. It should be massively reformed.

Some 80 years later, in Europe…

Hello and welcome to my brand new series: We're Obviously Not Living in a Simulation Because That's Ridiculous, Obviously

In this episode, we're gonna be looking at an IPv4 to IPv6 conversion technique invented before Christ.

I was just reminded of this gem. It's just so pleasing. From some open-source hardware project I found via Hackaday a year or three ago.

> For a vibrant consumer navigational ecosystem to emerge, society needs to invest in OpenStreetMap as a public good. … City planners should dedicate staffers to updating their roads and bridges on OpenStreetMap. Communities should submit updates with roads and hazards in their local areas

We quite agree! 😍

People really tell themselves they would have joined the Resistance in WWII and they... couldn't even stop using a lousy website

Ļoti detalizēti aprakstīts viss, ko zinām, nojaušam, vai tikai iztēlojamies un minam par dzīvi Pompejos. Autore tēmai pievērsusies ļoti pamatīgi un nesaudzīgi arī norāda uz trūkumiem, vai pārāk lielu vēlmju domāšanu, interpretējot arheoloģiskos atradumus. Bet vispār noguru no faktu pārbagātības un katra grafiti, zīmējuma vai telpas aprakstīšanas. No otras puses - fantastiski labs ieskats, ja ir vēlme par Pompejiem uzzināt visu, kas bija zināms līdz grāmatas uzrakstīšanai.
