Hezbollah fired a rocket straight into an Israeli school killing 168 children and 2 teachers! They wanted to target an Israeli military base and due to outdated information they hit that school....

The entire world condemns it!

Now Israel says it has the right to destroy Hezbollah and everyone in Lebanon who stays in their way.

There you go!

Oh wait...

The hypocrisy of US and Israel is insane..... How is this different from Russia attacking Ukraine?! By all accounts this feels worse.....

These lunatics in power don't have any ethics or morality, all they know is to kill people. And NEVER EVER forget about Netenyahu's corruption trials and Trump's connection with Epstein, there is an allegation of them starting the war to distract people from these issues....

One of my favorites from Beuda, Spain, on a spectacularly clear night. The brightest dot is Jupiter.

Wouldn't it be amazing if people focused on the things that connect us- the stars, the universe, the creation of atoms, the Earth, life, evolution, the interconnectedness of it all- rather than on the silly beliefs that separate us, or on the self-centered desires for wealth and power brought about by a corrupt system run by lunatics..

War should be considered a complete absurdity, a failure of the human species. A shameful, primitive practice. A loss from the very start.

So long as there are wars we cannot consider ourselves an intelligent species. We've gotten so far in understanding the universe and advancing technology, yet we've gotten nowhere in applying that understanding to our society as a whole. We remain a tribal, primitive society, only now with more powerful weapons and more violence.
What a shame.

Do you want to have your own #Mastodon instance? How about #Peertube, #Nextcloud, #Matrix or a #Pixelfed instance? You can buy a managed hosting of these services from webape.site/

#ManagedHosting means you don't need to have any technical skills or know how to maintain a Linux server, all of that will be done for you. The #Webape project is a small business run by @tio, he also made trom.tf and have been providing all of those #FOSS services for free since 2021.

We use dedicated VPS for each instance and we can upgrade to more powerful servers if necessary. I would say for a small instance around 30€ a month should do very well. If not 60€ should work fine. That is what we offer:

You can give it a try with us if you want, and migrate your account to us. If is not working well you can switch back. I think Mastodon provides such an option for migrating accounts.

That is a massive database for 1 user. Even our Friendica that has over 1k users is half that size. Also a lot of Media storage I see. Likely you should prune the old media that is not even accessed anymore. Else you are caching all media and store it locally.

The biggest Mastodon instance we manage has 2 users, 1 has 23k followers. The database is 3.7GB and stored Media about 40GB,

We also do not give root access to our server to do such things yourself, but we do maintenance to not let the databases grow so much. The account that has 23k followers I was saying about is on our lowest tier. And indeed the database grew a lot but I rather clean it and keep it small than ask to move to a bigger server. We only take a few projects for WebApe and I want do do it right. It is not a business but a paid service so we are able to support our free projects.

In case you want to move to our hosting let us know and maybe we can find a way to transfer your instance, although the best would be to export your Mastodon account, then setup a new instance with us and import your account. So you dont drag a poorly maintained database to the new server.

@liaizon @kris @mastohost
If you are planning to self-host and manage a server by yourself then I recommend looking into @yunohost

Yunohost is made to be easy to manage by nontechnical folks, tho I still recommend having a bit of Linux experience if you can. Tio and I maintain a Linux distribution called TROMjaro so we know quite a bit about Linux, you don't need to be that involved but just using Linux on your laptop/PC can teach you a lot.

How to Shower during a Thru-Hike (in the cold!)


In this video I explain how to stay clean during a thru-hike, even when you have no access to a shower or any large body of water, and even when it is very cold outside and the water is freezing!

I did this the whole way across the Spanish Pyrenees on the GR11 thru-hike and it worked like a charm 😉

A short update for March 2026.

We are continuing to actively fundraise for financial support to develop a Wayland compositor for Xfce(xfwl4).

In the month of February, we have received 52 donations (Xfce: $419.61 & Xfce(EU): €634.10).
To date, we have paid out $15,050 for work completed on xfwl4.

Thanks again for your generous support and ongoing donations. We are grateful for your commitment to help improve Xfce.

If you would like to help financially support the development of a new Wayland compositor for Xfce, you can do so by contributing funds via our #OpenCollective accounts.

For US contributions:
opencollective.com/xfce

For EU contributions:
opencollective.com/xfce-eu

These contributions will help pay for the funding of longtime Xfce core developer Brian Tarricone to create xfwl4, a brand-new Wayland compositor for Xfce.

Thank you for your support!

Good morning from planet Earth

Instead of humans being tribal, religious lunatics, trade fanatics and war thirsty, they should by now have created a paradise on Earth. Understand their fantastic story and how we are all connected to the other creatures, to the Earth and the universe, in a purely scientific way.

To use our resources to provide for all. To send rockets to the outer space to explore instead to send them on Earth to kill more. To fight with diseases, not with each other.

To grow our minds. Be busy with being smart and curious.

Instead this species is a total shitshow. Bunch of tribes with rockets.

Pathetic.

What we need also is economies of generosity.

Art in particular needs to run on appreciation. People need to be able to freely express their appreciation for a thing somebody else made-- while every transaction is adverserial, everybody trying to pay as little as possible to get as much as possible, especially while we're struggling to get our most basic needs met, it doesn't come naturally to toss around donations just to honor things you really like.

KDE supports the "Keep Android Open" campaign

#Google will cut off independent developers to #Android if they do not register with Google first. This will kill independent platforms like @fdroidorg and severely impede FLOSS devs from creating apps for Android.

keepandroidopen.org/

Many KDE apps are deployed for Android: KDE Connect, Itinerary, Tokodon, and there's even a test version of Krita for Android.

KDE calls on Google to reverse course and @keepandroidopen.

Anyone who understands the threat of #technofascism should get involved with the #KeepAndroidOpen campaign.

Google state that from September, they will be non-consensually pushing an update to all #Android phones (70% of all phones) that irrevocably blocks you from running whichever software you choose on your phone.

#Apple's iOS is already worse, leaving nowhere to go.

For details, and simple steps to push for Android devices to remain open computing platforms, see:

@stateofresearch
A good approach, but this is a threat that can't be addressed at the level of individual practice, only via this collective campaign.

Because if Google follow through on this, we will suddenly have no way to access any apps that aren't centrally authorised.

It will be the equivalent of Windows preventing you from running .exe files. Only software that Google authorise and approve (under government supervision) will run on our devices.
