@LovesTha @taschenorakel Got any Canadian labor law / copyright lawyers you'd recommend? 😅

My mastodon sever also ran out of storage yesterday so I had to run a db cleanup script overnight. The sacrifice file there is called `killme.txt` :P

@taschenorakel @zkat In my case I'm in Canada and from what I recall my contracts say the company hiring me owns all output. 😅 That's good to hear that the EU has such laws in place though!

#Sciop hit a Petabyte (actually a Pebibyte but nobody knows that word) of total proven capacity a week or two ago. That's all the seeders * the size of the things they are seeding. All volunteers, zero dollars in funding, piggybacking off existing resources wherever we can, run on a donated VPS. This is before we even get into federating archives and are still nailing down the basics of the site.

Peer to peer archives are real and they work, period. 216TiB of threatened cultural, climate, queer, and historical information held in common. That's a people powered archive, and you're welcome in it - to take from, to add to, and help sustain if you can.

Edit: if this is the first you're hearing of sciop, it's at sciop.net

I recently talked with a guy who builds software for small & medium sized German insurance firms and he says almost all of their clients are working on removing US services from their tech stack due to perceiving them as highly risky. This includes cloud services, office tools, AI tools, etc. So far he said the switch is a mixed bag with some successes and some blunders, but the push is very clear.

Highly anecdotal stuff, but maybe this cut is deeper than I expected.

@yala Nice! Yeah you're defs operating on a higher level than me so it makes sense. Glad FS creators have stuff like this built in for those that know how to optimize things well.

@powersource I'd strongly recommend it on all your machines :P Saved my butt like a dozen times by now

@yala Hmm yeah I try to stay away from FS specific features so I can worry a bit less about the specific systems I get deployed to

My 2GB `sacrifice.txt` file saves the day again by unblocking my database so I can run maintenance tasks

@zkat Right! Yeah, I prefer using copyleft when I can. It's unfortunate how a lot of orgs won't touch anything but MIT licenses.

@zkat I like working for companies that are into open source because I can reuse code between future projects. With closed source I lose all my code if I switch roles. 🤷

Then again I haven't made any hugely popular libraries and have low maintenance costs.

I wish more front end devs put effort into making their stuff keyboard accessible. Especially on phones.

Devs: Set some time aside this week and see if you can use your app without a mouse or touchscreen.

That time of the year that my matrix server gets borked and I need to figure out what's wrong with it

If computers were good you could use media control keys on tiktok style video apps to go forward/back. Or at least something keyboard accessible that didn't need to simulate a swipe gesture.

@gordon.bsky.social I love that my follow graph is such that I just see subtoots about some sort of decentralization debate rather than the actual debate ☕

Excited for medication to be artificial organs you implant in yourself that help regulate whatever thing is wrong. Grown from your own cells ofc.

I say "future programming" but it is very much reality already. Something like 500 bucks a month to tinker with the torment nexus. finalspark.com/
