We have seen that. Same dilemma as every year. Nearing the year's end they notice that there is surprising little budget left, and therefore they hastily attempt to save some money.
Then you may experience things like this: View temporarily out of order.

Just a few days later the spending cuts have already been loosened a bit.

The one minute silence to commemorate tragic events is a powerful tradition to express sorrow and to unite within that sorrow, even if it is just for one minute. Have you ever thought about where it does come from?
When 9/11 happened I was an intern at the IT section of a local education authority. The day after the event we all came together for one minute silence. This still resonates with me today. Even though afterwards we all continued with our work, this moment was important. Obviously more important than I understood at the time, as I still do remember it. Actually it is one of the most vivid memories I have of that internship.
This episode of the Australian radio station ABC Radio National explores the history and yes, the possible origin of the one minute silence. It's surprising that it can quite possibly be traced back to one newspaper article and therefore to one journalist.
In addition to being an informative listen, again I really enjoyed the way this episode is built. It very skillfully includes field recordings of silences, which really pulled me in and made for quite an immersive listening experience. A very artful combination of information, interviews and purposeful integration of noise, music and silence.

Just a quick update - I've got a Zap channel connected with a Hubzilla/Red channel over Zot6. I haven't started posting anything yet (this is certain to take a few more days to sort out the conflicts), but they're friends. They've discovered each other and assigned permissions to each other and received and stored them successfully. The cryptography is working.

It's Friday night here. The beer is cold. It took a lot of work to get to this point. For right now I'm going to quit while I'm ahead and savour the moment.

!Hubzilla Support Forum
Is there currently a workaround for updating for non-shell access webhosting solutions? I just had seen a lifely and priductive discussions about how to proceed in such a case.
The scenario is: there really is an awesome provider that lets customers setup a Hubzilla instance automatically and without root access. The drawback: obviously no addons, no way to add anything or to update etc. I know there has been a discussion regarding this recently, but I want to make a point that this is a scenario where webadmins have to be able to admin their hub exclusively from the web console.
There may be workarounds, such as the old way of creating an addons folder and manually placing the diles there via ftp. Though I watch that this is difficult to communicate as a necassity and I see this might lead to maintenance hell.

I am NOT REQUESTING this to be done NOW, I see this as a possible option for a feature request for when the Zot6 migration has finished and dev things become stable again. My aim is just to restart the discussion around the necessity. I want to see Hubzilla enter mainstream *dream* and the feedback I see is that we might need that.

I think you can install/update addon repositories directly from the /admin/addons/ section of Hubzilla. If you have access to cron, then running ./util/udall on a schedule may work for updating.

To start the discussion, I'd love to see Hubzilla become mainstream. However, the more complex the software, the more support the hosting provider has to offer. So many apps/cms either require, or benefit from shell access, that not having it is a significant limitation. It's not just Hubzilla that needs it. Off the top of my head, Nextcloud/ownCloud, WordPress, Drupal, Magento, TT-RSS, anything on Node.js all require or benefit from having shell access. It's long past time that hosting providers should provide shell access by default. Just my two cents :)

i thought i had seen something like "manage repos" in /admin/addons/ a while ago but can't find it anymore. how do you add addon repos without shell access?

i wouldn't want to run hubzilla without shell anyway, but for argument's sake.

BEGIN { Hubzilla 4.0 }
!Hubzilla Support Forum !Hubzilla Announcements

We're about to launch into a heavy construction phase of the Red project (which will directly impact the Hubzilla project). I'm sending this post to folks connected with the Hubzilla project as a heads up. What you will ultimately come to know as Hubzilla 4.0 is being worked on right now and involves hundreds of thousands of lines of changed code from the current Hubzilla releases.

What this means to you

If you have a site which is running the Hubzilla 'dev' code branch and you are not a developer or you are running a production hub on development code, STOP any automatic updates NOW. Do not update again until the next RC (release candidate). Stability will not return for another month or two. Things are going to break. I cannot stop integrating code to deal with broken stuff on your site. If you can't troubleshoot and fix it, you should not be running 'dev' code. We've had a relatively stable 'dev' code tree for a few years and many people have gotten complacent that any issues could be fixed easily and quickly - and this is about to change in a big way.

What's happening

Hubzilla's underlying protocol 'zot' is about to receive its largest update since 2012. The latest release is Zot6. This affects Hubzilla in literally thousands of ways. There are a number of current features and behaviours which have changed or are no longer available in Zot6.

Diaspora is completely incompatible with Zot6. We will do everything in our power to preserve connectivity to that network, even though at this time I don't have a solution for how exactly to accomplish this. Diaspora is incompatible with ActivityStreams and Zot6 is built on ActivityStreams. Don't fret. It's not going away. I'm somewhat confident that we'll find a compatibility solution in the next month or two, although it's very likely it won't be very efficient. Since Diaspora actually doesn't federate with anything (other projects federate with it), it will be on us to find a workable solution.
Mail. Zot6 does not support 'mail' as a separate messaging system. Private messages are sent as private messages, not as 'mail'. We will do our best to create an interface to display these separately from your normal stream. Some will be surprised at this decision since I have fought it vehemently for years, but the simple truth is that mail as an interface has always gotten the short end of the stick and always falls behind the social stream in innovation and features and upgrades. Zot6 privacy is respectable and very well tested.
Reshares. In Zot6 as in many other networks, reshares are single click activities (much the same as a 'Like'). In older zot implementations a reshare is an embed of another post into your own post and commentary is permitted. It isn't clear yet how to resolve this discrepancy. We will be favouring the popular implementation over the older Hubzilla implementation, but we haven't yet decided how or if to migrate existing content. This is where other developers might have a chance to show their stuff. It's not much different than the email choice to "forward inline" vs. "forward as attachment". It would be nice to offer a choice, but I won't sugar coat it - it would be a fair chunk of work.
Permissions. In Hubzilla we reworked the entire permission system a year or two ago to make it more extensible. That was a major improvement, but it wasn't quite enough. Zot6 has a newer permission system that is much more flexible. As of this moment, we could go either way - keep the old one or move everything to the new one. I'm tempted to move everything forward, but this could delay the completion of the zot6 integration by a few weeks. At this moment, I'm saving that decision until I see how the rest of the migration goes. If we lose a month dealing with Diaspora quirks, I probably won't be able to update the permissions and we'll have to put that off until a later release.
Object encoding. The way post meta-information is encoded on disk in Hubzilla (an older variant of ActivityStreams) isn't compatible with ActivityStreams-JSON-LD which zot6 uses. Several metadata field names are different. Migrating existing content could take months to code and test and will most certainly involve up to several days of downtime on large sites, so this will not happen. We'll continue to store this metadata in the current format and translate it to the new format on the fly when required.

defining NOMADIC implements a (nomadic) Zap server. If you leave it out, you get a non-nomadic Osada server.

Defining it as 0 instead of 1 has no effect because we only check to see if it is defined (at all).

Zap and Osada do one thing (social networking) and do it well.

Use Osada if you want a really good ActivityPub server, and use Zap if you want or need nomadic identity and much stronger privacy than the fediverse can offer.

Select one or the other. You can't have it all. That actually doesn't work - and there isn't any way to make it work.

Zap will always be the smaller network, because people will always give up their privacy to follow the herd and be where their friends are.

Use Hubzilla if you actually know what a 'platform' is and want to build something great (decentralised communities and cities with shoppes and businesses that all respect your freedom) rather than than just waste your life in idle chit-chat.

For those who haven't heard this before, the Blue Mountain World Heritage Area is just across the street from me and extends a couple of hundred kilometres to the north. They (the Blue Mountains) get their name from eucalyptus oil. On hot summer days, the entire horizon has a blue glow from all the gum tree oil being released into the atmosphere.

Today the mountains were blue. This marks the unofficial start of summer in these parts. After this it just gets bloody hot. Incidentally it also marks the official start of bush fire season due to the same root cause.

Mike Macgirvin wrote the following post Mon, 29 Oct 2018 20:49:11 +0100

For folks who are new to the inner sanctum of this project, let's start with a little background. I created the project. My goal was not to force my opinions or philosophy on anybody, but let them decide which direction the project should move and what it should accomplish. There aren't many policies or rules; and my goals have simply been to create software with transparency and ethics and try to perform many of the tasks which have traditionally been hard for decentralised networks and keeps them from competing with the centralised players. Communication is easy, privacy is hard. Big data is hard (directories, suggestions, etc.). Anyway I believe I've done more than most of my peers in these directions, but these accomplishments are difficult to describe to people who have always had them on centralised networks and aren't impressed at all. I've thrown in opinions here and there, but ultimately I always saw my role as a facilitator and an enthusiastic developer, not as a manager.

Many people secretly desire a pet programmer in the same ways that they desire a pet mechanic or handyman. They can let their superior mind come up with the ideas and they've got somebody to take their ideas and make them work. I've tried to oblige the demands of people who don't understand that I'm an old man, with a full time job, a full time farm, a family, and community obligations, as well as running an open source project. Last year the pressure nearly killed me. Literally. And if you push back on these people they go off in a huff about how the devs don't care about them. They're always threatening to leave because that is the only leverage they have. Eventually they do. The more you try to help, the more demands and threats that are put on you. And there's one of me and hundreds of them. This does not scale. At some point you have to turn your attention to something else, and this is when they make good on their threat to leave since they're no longer the center of attention. It's easy for them to do this because they actually have no "skin in the game". They aren't invested in the project in any significant way.

Anyway a year ago I quit. It was attitudes such as those presented in this thread which made me realise that open source has changed since I started creating open source projects nearly 40 years ago. It is no longer about communities working together.
Now the emphasis is on "free as in beer". If people have to work they don't want any part of it. They just want the software to magically create and debug itself.

There are *lots* of exceptions to these sweeping generalisations - so don't go picking at them for that reason, but it pretty much describes how the decision was made to fire myself from the project I created. In doing so this project has started to thrive and the open source process has started to really work. Coincidentally the same thing happened when I left the Friendica project to start working on new directions in decentralisation - e.g. what you're now looking at six years later.

It seems that my presence as a founder and somebody who tries to help "most of the time" actually prevents the open source process from working in some still unknown way. People get together and solve problems and work together when there's nobody left to blame. Since I was the person to blame, this prevented the projected from thriving. That's my theory anyway and it seems to hold true. Maybe I'm just a lousy boss, but there's not much I can do about that since I didn't even try to be a boss.

This community is still coming to grips with my departure in many ways. (I'm still in the background answering questions and fixing bugs that are really thorny; but I'm really not involved at all in the day to day running of the project). The best thing you can do to further your own agenda (whatever that is) is to stop being an outsider throwing rocks at the devs and become an actual part of the community and help the devs defend themselves against the rocks. This means rolling up your sleeves unfortunately. There are rocks coming from the corporate players (who infiltrate and try to cause conflict), there are rocks from other projects, and there are rocks coming from within the community when they don't get what they want. There's no shortage of rocks.

As far as devs doing what the community demands and not going off to do their own thing, good luck with that. Open source has never worked like that. There are occasionally 2-3 people who try to push a general project "agenda" (in their *free and volunteer* time) but the vast majority of developers submit hit and run patches to things that bother or interest them personally. If paychecks are involved, this dynamic changes. This lets a project manager have some leverage over developers. We've talked a lot over the last several years about creating a software co-op so that there are paychecks involved. If this idea appeals to you, step up to the plate and help make it happen.

Bronski Beat - The Age Of Consent 35th Anniversary Remastered And Expanded

h.ear.t | tobias

somewhere between the lines, Fri, 26 Oct 2018 23:51:48 +0200

Been hunting for Smalltown Boy 12'' version on CD for a reasonable price for quite a while now. Any other version pales in comparison, that mix is breaking away with the original pop song form in favour of an emotional buildup. Listening right now. Like the sound of the mastering, to me it sounds full and well done, but I have nothing but YT etc to compare. As I started out with The Communards Don't Leave Me (This Way) and was mesmerized by the live recordings I recorded from the radio, then buying their CDs and later Summerville solo I am listening to this album for the very first time right now. Awesome. Powerful. An important part of gay history. Summerville was my first encounter with gay activism that I remember and it still makes me sad that such activism had / has to be a thing. To me love was and ever will be love. Again it struck me how Smalltown Boy is still relevant today, hearing and reading stories from some young folks today. Just now I thought it would be adequate to extend it to many trans fellow's experiences today. If governments actively seek to invalidate who you are, where can you run to? I hope anyone in need will find a supportive chosen family.

On one hand a lot has changed, with quite a few countries now having legislated equal marriage, but so many quiblings are still struggling where it'd be easy to just be open and respectful towards each other.

When opening this CD I was moved by that list comparing the age of consent for "homosexual relationships between men" in different countries in 1983 and today, 2018.

A very well done re-edition. And even though today needs today's activists and activism it still does touch. The liner notes by Journalist Paul Flynn, producer Mike Thorne and Jimmy Sommerville do a good job at placing the album in the context of it's time, the Thatcher era, life.

While writing this I went through the complete album. Moving, still. Emotional. And simply a collection of very good music. I am hereby proudly adding it to my collection. As a highlight.

You and me together

Fighting for our love

Can you tell me why?

It ain't necessarily so.

Just a few minutes ago in the tram I overheard a man saying to another: "Mein Körper war voll auf Töten eingestellt." - "My body was fully attuned to kill." I understood he forced himself away. But he kept on repeating that sentence, several times. "Mein Körper war voll auf Töten eingestellt." - "My body was fully attuned to kill."
He told it like "I really wanted to eat that cake, but luckily I did not." and still was in awe for not eating.
Then the tram got too loud and I noticed I was just merely staring at the page.

SPEX is a German music magazine that I rather like as it offers a very different approach, discussing pop music and pop culture from a merely intellectual angle. Quite often I wholeheartedly disagree, miss the heart but also quite often SPEX does enrich and fill a niche of solid longform mysic journalism that I rather enjoy. Obviously they have been struggling and changed during the recent years. The magazine has been sold and completely rebooted. But I still do enjoy it.
SPEX has always been there for me, it has been a part of my pop education. It's interview with ANOHNY years ago when she was starting out with her former project was inspiring, involved reflecting New York's queer art scene, how it's getting lost but should be collected and archived due to it's socio-cultural significance. Too many lifes and careers have been cut short, so many talents never had the chance to shine. This interview was my first encounter with ANOHNY and today I own quite a few of her records and she keeps on inspiring and fascinating me. And SPEX was a voice that nurtured this niche and wide angled view on pop music.
So than you, SPEX, you have been important. So sorry to see you go.
The penultimate edition will have Neneh Cherry on the title. I have just listened to her new outing Broken Politics fits SPEX very well. A phantastic record, one of 2018's best for me. Quirky, different, individual, surprising. A record that will reward diving deeper into. Looking forward to that cover story.

Hubzilla 3.8 Released!
As you can see from the changelog, Hubzilla has gone through a very busy development cycle. To simplify the settings and improve the general UX, we have re-organised the entire apps and settings infrastructure.
Some features from the "Additional Features" section have been transformed to stand-alone apps and will need to be installed by the channel owner. Other features have been moved to the per app settings pages which are now easily accessible from the navigation bar or the app store.
Some addons have already been ported to the new apps infrastructure. This work is ongoing and will be completed during the next development cycle.

Other notable changes:

Remove tech-levels
Markdown table support
New addon (channelreputation) which provides a reputation system for community channels
Implement a subscriptions submodule for the cart addon
New addon (hsse) that implements a WYSIWYG editor
Experimental queue worker improvements (off by default)
Many under the hood improvements and bugfixes

As always, a big THANK YOU! to the translators and everybody who is helping to improve Hubzilla.

Howto upgrade:
Due to some profound changes to the addons it is necessary to follow this update procedure:

util/safemode on this will disable all enabled addons
util/udall the actual update which executes git pull for core and addon repos
util/safemode off this enables the previously disabled addons again
Install the upgrade info addon (optional) - this will show some info about the upgrade to your community members

In case you attended the RC testing, remember to git checkout master your core, addon and widget repositories prior to the upgrade.

During the next development cycle we will start implementing the new version of the zot protocol (zot6) which already powers Hubzillas social network oriented sibling Osada.

On a first listen now. Very emotional, again and again Conchita's power brings tears to my eyes. Classic songs such as The sound of Music together with the Vienna Symphics. After a similar event staged at Sydney Opera House and breathtaking appearances at Vienna Life Ball this album feels more like a homecoming than a surprise, this is Conchita's natural habitat. Lush arrangements that get the feel just right, her voice can stretch and make these songs truly her own.
There are a few surprises in regards to the chosen track list (no spoilers here), and it all just works. This is where I have been imagining Conchita to be from the first time on. It feels right, so right.
And the additional fact that Tom is more and more merging Conchita with his authentic self makes it even more exciting to follow his career. From the very first time I had tears streaming down my face when hearing Rise Like A Phoenix for the very first time up to today I feel absolutely confident that he will accompany us for many years to come and I am sure many tears will follow. Tears of pure joy.
Especially when compared to "Symphonic" projects by other artists, even (or especially?) Falco, this feels organic, natural and a success. Highly recommended.
