heise: „Ein chinesischer Mining-Pool wurde Opfer des größten bisher bekannten Bitcoin-Klaus.“

Ich: Wer ist bitte Bitcoin-Klaus und wie groß ist er? Warum spielt seine Größe eine Rolle?

:lgbt_io: Important Announcement:
Closure of Our Mastodon Instance

Dear friends,

After 8 incredible years of running this Mastodon instance as a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community, it is with a heavy heart that I announce its closure. Due to rising operational costs and personal life challenges, I am no longer able to sustain it financially, as I’m currently managing significant debts.

This space has meant the world to me. I created it with the hope of giving us a space where we could be ourselves - safely, freely and unapologetically. Maintaining this community has been an honour and I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of it, whether you joined years ago or just recently.

To the admin and moderator team: I wholeheartedly thank you. You’ve been the pillars of this community, especially during times when I wasn’t able to be present.

I also want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Ellie - and to our dearly missed Porsupah - for stepping in when I was struggling with my mental health. Your help in restoring and maintaining the server during that period meant more than I can ever say.

The instance will officially shut down on 15 August 2025. I encourage you to migrate your account to another instance where you feel safe and supported. If you’d like to stay in touch, you can find me at @Self@mastodon.social.

This may be goodbye to the server, but not necessarily to the connections you've built.

From the bottom of my heart: thank you - for your trust, your kindness and your presence.

With love and solidarity,
Self :heart_pride:

the website of the month blocking everything but the most common email domains sure says something about the state of the internet huh

reminder that framework built a desktop with soldered RAM, a machine that's less repairable than a bog standard desktop computer

Show thread

ah, the framework desktop has breached containment had its review embargo lifted so that's why everywhere ppl are annoying about running llms locally

hat jemand eine idee wie man ein thinkpad P14s Gen 2 AMD (Type 21A0) wieder zum laufen bekommt, was nach einem botched firmware update (?) komplett tot ist (lade-LED leuchtet nicht, einschalter drücken macht keinen mucks, batterie-reset poken und batterie abklemmen bringt auch nichts)?

(es wurde während normaler nutzung der bildschirm schwarz, hab dann nach einer weile mit powerbutton-longpress resettet, dann kam erst fwupd und dann der lenovo-firmware-update-screen, und jetzt gehts nicht mehr)

how are relatively standard m3 screws the most annoying thing to source out of this BOM

Any dist/cargo-dist users interested in working on Codeberg support? I'd love to get a second CI system in there.

I wanted a cheap camera that works with the Switch 2 and these ones we have at the office fit the bill + I could just test it before I bought one. They also have a nifty mechanical shutter which is convenient for living room use

I have now finished Resident Evil 6 and now I am qualified to say it kinda sucks. It has its moments but I wouldn't have gotten through it if I wasn't playing with a friend. Also every time we beat a boss and it goes out in a fiery blaze and a big explosion cutscene and comes back five minutes later pissed me off so much

idk why, they don't differ very much, probably the dev doesn't have a Kinect For Windows

Show thread

I thought I could play Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator with it but turns out that needs a Kinect 2.0

Show thread

I don't play VRchat so I don't really have any use for it unless I start but it's nice to see this Kinect actually do its job

Show thread

hell yea I got full body tracking with my kinect working in steamvr/vrchat

hey you! if your instance uses #Jortage and you have a few bucks to spare, please consider donating this month.

the unmet running costs of Jortage are paid for by Una, whose work has offset some very substantial costs for many of the instances on this network.

project expenses are expected to go down next month with the switch to Fastly's storage! but until then, there's a gap of just over a hundred bucks to break even.

edit: the post link should work properly now!
