Learned about @libravatar (a Gravatar alternative) after reading Libre.fm's latest weekly roundup:

librefm.wordpress.com/2024/10/…

I thought “Oh, that's neat!”, dug around their site, and saw that there were two #WordPress plugins. The only problem is, one's been closed and the other hasn't been updated in 13 years.

I know some of you are saying "Why would I want to use this? Libravatar is a niche service that I've never even heard of before today."

That's fair. But there's two very interesting things about @libravatar:

1. You can self host your own Libravatar service.
2. Depending on the implementation, Libravatar acts as a proxy for Gravatar profile images.

This means that anyone who has a Gravatar profile (technically) already has a Libravatar. Swapping one service for the other should be seamless.

Indeed, I think this is our biggest „selling point“. Even if it‘s a free service and we have nothing to sell. 😉 Libravatar can act as transparent proxy for Gravatar and increase privacy for the users, as the only hit Gravatar sees is from our service, instead of the user IPs.

A video on #PullRequestSniping in #OpenSource projects like #Rustlang based #Redox OS youtube.com/watch?v=ztkNOoF_4K…. Is this behavior common or expected in Open Source #Rust projects like Redox? It seems like there is an exodus away from projects that behave in this way.

@cumulonimbus Thank you! I know some instances unfortunately block the bridge tho. So remembering to post on my main, too, is definitely a good idea 😅


Companies like Apple want "the reputation that they protect users' data and they will do so at the expense of their relationship with law enforcement,” but they also want to tap the multi-billion-dollar police tech market, EFF’s Matthew Guariglia told @forbes. forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewste…

Well, Irvine is in the heart of Orange County, a notably Republican part of Southern California. Trump is popular. Musk is a Trump favorite. So if the Irvine PD wants to express its fondness for demagogues and tech bros, it matters little what grade schoolers think. (Whoops, my cynicisms is showing…)

Imagine
1/2

[Verse 1]

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

[Verse 2]
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You

Imagine
2/2


[Chorus]You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

[Verse 3]
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world


[Chorus]You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
