(n.) An online identity created, and used, for purposes of deception. A sockpuppet purports to be an independent party that supports, approves of, or agrees with some agent (a person, organization, agency, or state), but is in fact created and controlled by that agent, and has no independent existence. Common uses of sockpuppets include plausibly deniable hacking or information operations, provocation, and astroturfing (creation of the illusion of grassroots support).

Oh no :( What’s wrong with Debian?!

@[email protected] why is this not federating with our instance? It’s missing upvotes and comments

Also, kinda surprising, we don’t have a security-related community here on this instance?

Can you elaborate? Any idea why Stripe would choose this design?

I think Stripe generally has good security practices. But I just can’t understand this design choice. There has to be a reason…

QGIS does have many native OSM plugins

• https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/QGIS#More_OpenStreetMap_Plugins

I’m not sure if any get you vector-based contour lines.

Yeah, it’s dangerous for a community to tolerate and adopt closed-source software. We should have done a better job pressuring them to license it openly.

The OSM wiki pointed me to Maperitive first, but I wish it pointed me to qgis first. We should probably edit the wiki with a huge warning banner that the code is closed, the app is full of bugs, and that it is not (and can not be) updated.

Edit: I took my own advice and added a big red box to the top of the article warning the user and pointing them to QGIS instead.

Edit 2: Do we have any way to know when the latest version of Maperitive (v2.4.3) was released? Usually I’d check the git repo, but…

Edit 3: stat on the Maperitive-latest.zip file says that it’s last modified 2018-02-27 17:25:07, so it’s at least 6 years old.

The Wordpress Activity Pub plugin is on my TODO list. I opened some bug reports with them recently.

what happens if I die? what happens if my site goes down? what happens if a site is “protected” by cloudflare (and therefore makes the content inaccessible to at-risk folks)? what happens if a site has an authwall (and therefore is inaccessible to less-privileged folks)?

I think it’s important for us to federate content, not just links.

it’s a lot of work, but basically I copy the html from wordpress into pandoc, convert it to markdown, and then do a lot of cleanup

I didn’t copy the whole post here because it’s so much work, but I usually do when there’s less images and my articles aren’t likely to exceed the max char limit :)

Well, the title was mostly a take from this post:

• Help designing a tiny solar system

But I guess I should have said a “PV system”? Or do you have a better name?

We’re not looking to be tied to a grid outside the community. Do you have any links to recommended resources to learn more about microgrids and/or community grids?

If it were me and I understand correctly I would probably not tie the systems together.

Well, the loads of the buildings are different, so tieing them together would be very beneficial. For example, one building is a workshop with lots of power tools and heavy machinery and some other buildings (with equal sq meter rooftops) are residential (with less energy requirements)
