Schedule based power management of nodes for #Proxmox clusters? I'm currently integrating something like #DPM into #ProxLB - next to the static (baseline) based one, schedules comes also along with it. Would this config be "human friendly"?

You often asked me to implement something like #DPM in #ProxLB for #Proxmox clusters - and it's becoming real! Of course with some safety guards ;)

The image shows a screenshot of a webpage from the OpenBSD Journal. The top of the page features a black background with a logo on the left, depicting a cartoonish sun with guns, and the text "OpenBSD Journal" in light blue. Below the logo, navigation links are visible: Home, Archives, About, Submit, Story, Create Account, and Login. The main content of the page is a news article titled "DSA removal from OpenSSH" in large, light blue text. The article was contributed by "rueda" on January 11, 2024, from the "going-dept." The article states that the OpenSSH project has announced the timeline for the removal of DSA support from OpenSSH. It mentions that OpenSSH plans to remove support for DSA, as specified in the SSHv2 protocol, which is limited to a 160-bit private key with an estimated security level of less than or equal to 80 bits. The article also notes that OpenSSH has disabled DSA keys by default and that DSA is optional support for them. The bottom of the page shows the URL "undeady.org/cgi?act" and a navigation bar with three vertical lines, a home icon, a back arrow, and a menu icon. The battery icon in the top right corner indicates 82% battery life, and the time is 03:31. Ovis2-8B 🌱 Energy used: 0.353 Wh

Skype, one of the pioneers in internet telephony, has officially ended its support on May 5, 2025.

The image is a modified version of the Skype end-of-life graphic, promoting Jitsi instead of Microsoft Teams. At the top, there are two icons: the Skype logo on the left and the Jitsi logo on the right, with the text "jitsi.org" below them. The message reads, "Thank you for being part of Skype. Skype retired in May 2025. You can use Jitsi, a free and open-source video conferencing platform, for messaging and calling with your contacts." Below this message, there are logos for five alternative communication platforms: Element, Session, Signal, and Mumble. Each logo is accompanied by its respective website URL: element.io, getsession.org, signal.org, and mumble.info. The background features a gradient of light purple and white, with a subtle texture.

Great stuff from @lornajane

“Start with a good README, clear getting started instructions, and some key usage points, and you won’t go far wrong…Documentation is one of the most valuable and transferable skills for developers too, so it’s very much worth your time and effort personally as well as for the project.”

#OpenSource

Is the #Fediverse really open for #freedom?

In the last weeks, I noticed more & more messages from different instances/admins about moderation, banning and de-federations. Initially, people told the Fediverse is more open, not blocking and deleting content compared to other social medias. However, I think it shifted to the opposite where a single instance admin decides for the whole user base (which might not even be aware of it).

Have you bought/read my second book yet?

If you have, PLEASE review it on Amazon. Currently there are ZERO reviews there, which means the book is effectively invisible.

Would that authors didn't need to rely on such things, but the reality is that we do. Can you lend a hand and fill in the review gaps?

Mastodon entwickelt sich weiter: Gründer Eugen Rochko übergibt seine Rolle als CEO, um sich künftig auf die technische Entwicklung zu konzentrieren. Die Führung geht an eine neue europäische Non-Profit-Organisation über. Ziel ist, Mastodon dauerhaft als dezentrales, werbefreies und gemeinnütziges soziales Netzwerk zu sichern. Dieser Schritt soll organisatorische Stabilität schaffen und die Abhängigkeit von Einzelpersonen reduzieren. Die neue Struktur stärkt die Unabhängigkeit von Mastodon, erleichtert Kooperationen und verbessert die Vertretung gegenüber der Öffentlichkeit. Eugen bleibt als Entwickler und technischer Berater aktiv. Die Vision: Ein demokratischeres, transparenteres und dauerhaft community-getriebenes Netzwerk.
• Rochko tritt als CEO zurück
• Neue Non-Profit führt Mastodon
• Fokus auf Transparenz und Stabilität
• Weiterhin dezentral, werbefrei und offen
• Entwicklerrolle bleibt bei Eugen

My relay instance for the #Fediverse evolved in a great way - more than 120 instances are already connected to boost your posts across the Fediverse.

If you're running #snac / #snac2, #Mastodon, #Pleroma or any other software on the #ActivityPub protocol that supports relay instances - feel free to join the relay! Hopefully #GoToSocial also supports relay services soon! Of course #IPv6 is supported (for IPV6 only instances).
