If you follow me, you have a sense of humour. If you're reading this, you're a reader. I’ve put this story online, free, gratis and for nothing, it's a twelve minute read. If you like it, maybe you’ll be curious enough to risk 99p for one of my short story collections. Maybe you’ll be smart enough to save some money by buying a compilation. Maybe you’ll be brave enough to buy my novel. Whatever happens, I hope you enjoy ‘Vincent'. http://aarondavid.co.uk/Vincent.html #freeread #shortstory #funny #pleaseboost

5 Fediverse sites have been hacked due to running outdated software.Please take a moment to ensure that your instance of Mastodon, Misskey, PeerTube, PixelFed, or any other Fediverse platform is fully up-to-date.It may also be wise to log into your server and update your operating system.Debian / Ubuntu servers:sudo apt updatesudo apt dist-upgradesudo rebootFedora / CentOS / Red Hat / Alma Linux:sudo dnf update --refreshsudo dnf upgradesudo rebootIf you update your OS, your server will be briefly offline during the reboot. If you have not configured your web services — including your Fediverse service — to start automatically on boot, you may need to start them manually afterward.Always make a backup before performing upgrades.If any of this is confusing or feels overwhelming, you should reconsider whether you want to be a server administrator. This is not meant as an insult. It’s great that you wanted to contribute to the Fediverse, but you may be better off participating as a user rather than an admin. People depend on you to keep services running smoothly, and that requires knowing how to maintain your system safely and correctly.#Fediverse #ActivityPub #Mastodon #Misskey #PixelFed #PeerTube #Sharkey #Loops #Akkoma #Pleroma #Mbin #Lemmy #InfoSec #Security #Hack #Foss #OpenSource #Linux

Heard an unusual thing today and it may surprise the non Irish but I heard a woman having a normal conversation in Irish on the phone. Unapologetic and fluent and not performative. #ireland

@JesseF8693@mindly.social I just got a follow request from your server, and upon checking, I see that mindly.social has a registered LLC in the USA, and that it's hosted on US infrastructure.Now, I don't mind community instances, but yours being owned by a business does raise some flags in terms of what's happening with all the personal data you're processing.Is there any chance you could provide an overview of how the data is being protected, and if it's shared with any third parties?Do you have any protections in place for EU-based individuals whose data fall under GDPR? Do you have a BCR, DTIA, or SCCs in place for organizations your network connects to? Thanks#gdpr #compliance #privacy #personadata #personalinformation #pii #fediverse #dataprotection

Someone told me that his hippo was trained to use a toilet.I think it’s just a hippo potty myth.#funny #jokes #dadjokes

"Vous Revoir" is now available in a more international form as SocialBand.The whole project aims to provide a platform that allows artists and their audiences to collaborate without relying on gafams and acts as a bridge to the Fediverse by linking Mastodon accounts to promote Fediverse adoption within the cultural sector.The server is maintained by a non-profit Belgian organization.Registrations are now open ✍️ https://socialband.eu/en/#fediverse #music #scene #artists #software #mastodon

I write this feeling like my voice is unheard, my pleas go unheard. I've knocked on every door, cried out for help countless times, but no one responds, no one offers support. I'm just starting out, and no one is helping me. I'm not asking for luxury, just to live with dignity and feed my children, away from the humiliation of others. To everyone reading this, we desperately need help, and every minute that passes only increases our pain. Please help my children.💔. https://gofund.me/69b0e26cb@fabio @kagan @kaganeh @gvenema @neutrinoceros @TomSwirly @Gustodon @chielk @fabio @TomSwirly @maartenballiauw @mareike @siblingpastry @raph @hdr @santi #fediverse#MutualAidRequest

I write this feeling like my voice isn’t being heard my plea isn’t reaching anyone. I’ve knocked on every door, called out for help many times, but no one responds, no one offers support.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.While talking to a colleague it came up that they have never sat on a cow. Like, not even once in their childhood.Another colleague listening in admitted they also have never sat on a cow.My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life sat on a cow.🐃 🐄 🐮Have you sat on a cow?Please boost for scientific accuracy.
