For those using the PG FTS patch to avoid installing ES, be aware of the default context in models/status.rb ( probably introduced recently ).

Your search_for should contain something like:

Status.unscoped {
Status.where('tsv @@ plainto_tsquery(?)', pattern).order(updated_at: :desc).limit(limit)
}
to make sure no default scope are applied to that query.

#GoodNewsBadNews

Bad news: I got laid off. I could loose my house and car... and kids... if I don't find work soon.

Good news: I have time to devote to actually fixing my site and beefing up my portfolio.

If anyone needs help with projects and are in need of a freelancing:
UX/UI Designer, General web designer (html, css, less, sass), illustrator, graphic designer, general artist, etc

Please consider me. I need the experience and 'folio beef.

I see where most of the mastodon.host trafic goes:

Interesting :)

I spy with my little eye...

KANBAN

The Lollipop Cloud is moving to a set of Kanban boards backed by Taiga for issue tracking, voting and workflow going forward.

Gitea is great if you're managing disparate projects but the Lollipop Cloud git repos are all interwoven as a suite of services that work together to provide a cloud. The scattered nature of the issue tracking was a problem and it's now addressed.

You can get your dose of "WTF are they working on" at a glance here forward.

The Lollipop Cloud has added a new chat room!

The new room is all about Tech Talk. Dense, technical Klingon for your enjoyment.

Full details on how to get in on the conversation : https://lollipop.holdmybeer.solutions/page/contact/

I've spent many spoons and matches over the last 3-4 months so others don't have to go through the hassles.

The Lollipop Cloud project is meant to lower barriers and increase accessibility.

Just yoinked myself a Reform beta 3 kit to play with. Awesome project by @mntmn with lots of potential based right here in our own back yard in the EU :)

(This one’s for developers… so if you’re looking for something to tinker with and explore future possibilities, check it out!)

HEY YALL
the 500px archiving project is done! we got everything! you can find it here. archive.org/details/archivetea

thanks again for all the people that lent us bandwidth!

So CA fire season started early it seems.

Does someone has a good gaz mask to recommend ? ( that filters also gaz, unlike n95/n100 ones ).

Feel like better order and have it before it hits too hard...

"As projects get older, they tend to move away from the benevolent dictatorship model and toward more openly democratic systems. This is not necessarily out of dissatisfaction with a particular BD. It's simply that group-based governance is more "evolutionarily stable", to borrow a biological metaphor. Whenever a benevolent dictator steps down, or attempts to spread decision-making responsibility more evenly, it is an opportunity for the group to settle on a new, non-dictatorial system — establish a constitution, as it were. The group may not take this opportunity the first time, or the second, but eventually they will; once they do, the decision is unlikely ever to be reversed. Common sense explains why: if a group of N people were to vest one person with special power, it would mean that N - 1 people were each agreeing to decrease their individual influence. People usually don't want to do that. Even if they did, the resulting dictatorship would still be conditional: the group anointed the BD, clearly the group could depose the BD. Therefore, once a project has moved from leadership by a charismatic individual to a more formal, group-based system, it rarely moves back."

So, what did I missed friends ? :)

Back on the fediverse :)

So the antenna test result:
- around 10miles max for the bar antenna uplink
- the yagi gets a nice 25ish miles
- almost a tie with the reflector one at 28ish miles
( Mostly LoS tests ).

Discoverable at around 50-70 miles with the 20ft random wire. The discovery packets works very well, giving you bearing to orient the antennas.

Too bad the fog was so heavy that batteries did not charge fully this morning, and had to stop the test before trying the longest uplink...

An easy setup with plume:
github.com/Plume-org/Plume/blo

Thanks Baptiste to be on top of merging PR so fast :)

Now to wrap my head around rust to do some real work... If anyone wants to help, it is a pleasure to collaborate with him !

PSA:

Scaleway amsterdam is down...

You can't even see the list of your servers on their console it seems.

"help wanted" vs "help welcome"

There is a subtle distinction between the above phrases.

There is a reason the Lollipop Cloud chose the latter.

Think about your words when managing a project.

Especially a project that cares about the community behind it.

That is all.

Speaking about meshnet and lollipops, I should probably give a little progress report:

working on finalizing the power part now ( small solar panel / battery ), and of course still experimenting with antennas and inline amplifiers, this weekend we should do a ~200miles discovery range check and maybe a ~50miles uplink check ?

I still have to receive a few solar cells to build a custom solar panel on the case of the lollipop.

I'm sensing a lot of negative emotions in the world right now. Time to do something positive.

For each like that this or one of the subsequent posts on this thread I will tell you about something I like. Only restriction is it has to be something you can enjoy as well so stuff like my family or friends are not something I'll post ( sorry, but you'll have to take my word that they're awesome )
