Okay, everything seems to be back. Minor disruptions will continue as I rebuild individual jails to upgrade to FreeBSD 15.

It seems like due to some peculiarities of #PeerTube implementation of #ActivePub following channels doesn’t seem to work - e.g. when I follow @nprofile1q... it looks like I merely started “follow request”, even though on PeerTube side I see new user follow and no “follow request” which I could approve 🤔

When I however follow the channel owner @nprofile1q... - it works as expected 🤔

So to follow the @nprofile1q... you need to really follow the automated account that uploads the channel videos - @nprofile1q...

Confusing, but it works…

Tonight I’m planning to upgrade the servers to #FreeBSD 15 which will likely mean a few hours outage for agora.echelon.pl and video.echelon.pl

Piotr Kaszuwara (TVP.info):

A family survived the night in this flat in #Kyiv: a father, mother and their daughter, who was not yet two years old. A Russian drone struck the façade of their block of flats. They survived because they were in the bathroom, behind two walls. The first strike was followed by another. One of the medics who had come to save the lives of others was killed on the spot.

@nprofile1q...

Granted how saturated US is with ammunition and weapons, I wouldn’t be surprised if this ends in actual kinetic drones being used against ICE if they continue their current course.

@nprofile1q... Надо посмотреть в иходный код JSON-LD жалоб, потому что по ходу их можно по разному рендерить в UX.

A classic “peaceful Russian programmer who does not support the war but”. How it started (he’s talking about the ‘Oreshnik’ threat against Poland):

These aren’t official channels. Why are you stirring up trouble? Aren’t you laughing? I could create a similar channel to threaten Russia from Poland. What would change?

How it developed (he’s saw the videos of Russian officials threatening everyone in the world):

People laugh at it in Russia, but you’re unironically trying to prove something to me here. Every country has propaganda. Welcome. But you’re going to indulge in hysteria. Putin started a war I don’t support, but he had his reasons. What do you think about what happened in Venezuela?

How it ended (he saw the video with Putin’s open threats against Poland):

Ahah. Fuck, Putin tells you in plain Russian that if the Poles get involved, they’ll get their arses kicked. You’re trying to feed me some bullshit. Don’t get involved with us, don’t stir things up, and preserve your sovereignty. Don’t get involved with Ukraine. Just sit there and whore yourselves out. No one will touch you. You don’t like something? Go whine!

Wise Ukrainian folks who ban such scum without any interaction, but I was indeed misled by his initial apparently polite comment 🤷
