How long until US bans code from developers with ties to CN/RU?
That won’t happen because it would effectively mean banning all FOS which isn’t remotely practical.

My main issue is I’m not shutting down my Pi-Hole, home assistant, NAS etc etc just to plug in something like this in, and then 24h or so later shut them all down again to retrieve it again. That said I basically have a collection of Pis (passively cooled and this silent) and a Synology disk station so the power use is pretty low.
Some people use apps which hide posts they have interacted with. A downvote counts as interaction so people in turn then liberally downvote nearly everything. Yes it’s unhelpful and dumb. Solution, use kbin and at least you can see who downvoted you! (Except I don’t think downvotes are federated).
No Mint pretty much just works.
Great thing about Mint (or most Linux distros) is that you can try it by booting from a usb stick - see if you like it that way.
I feel it would be seasonal to schedule at least some time off over the next week or so too!
Good to hear you’ve at least got the boring admin ‘formallities’ sorted for a while!
I think it is down to not qualifying as hot. If you sort by new after posting you’ll likely be able to see them.
I think it complements federation too. Suddenly you can have a collection of magazines sharing a name/topic from different instances all listed together in one place. That’s really quite cool!
I need to update this now, but it is still relevant:

For those (like me) who are wondering… Nodeinfo is a standard seeking to improve interoperability between fediverse platforms.
I’ve enabled it, have to admit I’ve not noticed a difference when using the PWA - but I guess that’s the idea. I’ll take it on faith that it slightly faster & more responsive!
@Ernest Another great and exciting update. This one looks like a much needed improvement and also, like your other recent merges, this is another one which should make your life easier going forwards, win win!
Hello! It’s great to see you are back in action! It sounds like you’ve had a bit of a bumpy ride of late, so here’s hoping for better times ahead.
Logical next step, hacker sues the developer for copyright infringement?
Sales tax is the most obvious example of adding to the cost I’ve been shown, but it’s everything. Here if there is a price on something that is the price you pay. Period.
If I have €5 and the price on the shelf is €4.90 we are all good, and I don’t even need to know what country I’m in!
But is is more than that, if I take my car in to be fixed, they have to agree every cost they want to charge me in advance at no point can anything cost me more than I expected and agreed to up front.
Airline tickets, theatre tickets, hospital bills, TV ads, you name it, the price they state or advertise is what I pay, no ifs-no buts.
As a European I’ll never cease to find it mind blowing that it is normal for a Americans that the cost to them of damn near everything is more than the cost initially shown to them.
In time it may become a trade-off between new (with associated features and speed) Vs tried and tested/secure.
To us now this sounds perverse, but remember that NASA generally use very old hardware because they can be more certain the various bugs & features have been found and documented. In NASA’s case this is for reliability. I’ll concede ‘brute force’ does add another dimension when applying this logic to security.
This may also become an AI arms race. Finding exploits is likely something AI could become very good at - but a better AI seeking to obfuscate?
