#EUSummit #DigitalSovereignty,

Every journalist hit with a stinger grenade or pepper ball by law enforcement while covering a protest is a message from the government: Stop showing the truth.

Journalists must speak out.

Quick FYI: Codeberg.org has been operational since at least 20:23 UTC (21:23 CET), but our super-duper highly appreciated system administrator grew a bit too tired after dealing with the situation that they shared in the past two posts, so another social media manager is sharing this one.

This process was a little bit more adventurous ✨ than anticipated, but we believe it was worth the trouble.

Wishing you all a pleasant evening! :)

Our hosted #ForgejoActions now have a `medium` runner available with 10 minutes timeout. Take a look at the announcement: https://codeberg.org/actions/meta/issues/3#issuecomment-8339199

Hosted Forgejo Actions is our second hosted CI/CD next to the existing #WoodpeckerCI which already has more generous limits.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨
We're suing the city of San Jose for its pervasive ALPR surveillance program. With nearly 500 ALPRs, the SJPD allows its officers to search millions of records, all without a warrant. These unconstitutional searches must be stopped. Read the complaint: https://www.eff.org/cases/siren-v-san-jose

Chatting with a friend about Cloudflare's intermittent outages today, they brought up an interesting point: How many organizations have started relying on Cloudflare to do basic security blocking and tackling stuff, like stopping SQL injection attacks at the edge? Maybe your devs were lazy at blocking this stuff in the past b/c CF was the control layer to compensate for that.

You might say well okay but if CF is down, so are the sites relying on them, and that's true. But a lot of organizations will switch CF off during these times to keep their sites and services reachable and running. And my friend's point was that for those organizations, they might want to take a closer look at the traffic they received during this eight-hour outage window or whatever, and I think that's sound advice.

Hey everyone! Codeberg will go down for about 10 minutes starting 19.00 UTC (20.00 CET) to create database indices which are expected to improve performance. This requires a short interruption of service.

We apologize for the inconvenience and short notice.

Mohammed bin Salman should be in a courthouse facing justice for ordering the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Instead, he's at the White House.

If you fail the tutorial in Leisure Suit Larry, you have to play as Larry Summers emailing Epstein for advice.

Frankly, I think this says A LOT about our country. I know these people. You do too. Heck, odds are good that someone reading this IS one of these people. Entitlement and self-centeredness are the defining personality characteristics of the middle-class American, imho...one I came to while observing myself trying to fit-in in a southeast Asian culture not typified by those pathologies.

I've known a lot of liberal Americans who are so naive about the rest of the world that they can't possibly imagine that their "enlightened," middle-class ass wouldn't be welcomed with open arms everywhere in the world. To the people who threaten to move out of the country whenever a Republican wins the presidency, my response is always, "what makes you think they want you there?"

Let’s put everything through CloudfFlare, what could possibly go wrong.

Can’t hold our last Gaza Verified interview right now because CloudFlare is down and Jitsi Meet uses it.

This Day In Anarchist History - November 18 - The Rio de Janeiro Uprising

This day in Anarchist History, Nov 18th 1918 we remember the Rio de Janeiro anarchist insurrection.

In the months leading up to the Rio de Janeiro anarchist insurrection, anarchists had been planning to overthrow the Brazilian state by building a broad coalition of workers and unions.

Their one fatal flaw was counting on low level military to join them and their attack failed because of a snitch within those ranks.

Despite it’s ultimate failure this is often considered the high water mark of anarchism in the territories controlled by the state of Brazil.

I would argue there can be no good corporations beyond a certain size - they're all in a race to the bottom once they achieve that critical mass.

@existentialcomics This is devastating

Who's the real enemy now? Extremely wealthy people (oligarchs) and large corporations (especially in health, fossil fuels, media, & tech). Everything else is probably manageable. We need to hobble the extremely wealthy and the mega corporations. We need to end the 'corporations-as-person' model. as well. It is untenable. That also means rejecting, explicitly & systemically, groups like the Atlas Network/Project 2025.
