N=1 but outbound federation just worked for me in a post. It seems some work was done just recently including an upgrade to -rc.8.
It's best not to think of SDF admins in binary terms like "present" or "absent". They are an undulating force which makes changes here and there and we're all along for the ride.
Agreed. Why overcomplicate things? I can understand the desire not to pick favourites in a rapidly-evolving space which was clearly the approach of /r/rust mods early on, but enough time has now passed that the project could save everyone some headaches by just picking one Lemmy community that they're confident will be held to the Rust community standards. Nobody's expecting a permanent decision with young software. We can change the way we operate again in a year or two if we have to.
Rockliffe is going hard spending the political capital accumulated by Gutwein. Back to Labor in 3, 2, ...
If only they could figure out a way to get it down to Sandy Bay Rd, alas.
They're certainly thinking about it, going by this post: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/173597?scrollToComments=true
Happily no, all okay here on web UI. e.g. 10 hours, 7 days, 15 days and 19 days on https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/anonradio
I wrote a longer take on point 3: https://thomask.sdf.org/blog/2023/07/07/if-i-was-meta-and-wanted-to-make-fedi-implode.html
What's actually changed here? Petrol engines on bicycles have long been allowed so long as they don't exceed the equivalent of 200W power, with anything more powerful requiring registration.

A lawnmower engine on a bicycle is already outlawed. If they're now cracking down on tiny engines, that doesn't seem to be supported by the "high speed" description.
I have no particular love for these noisy bicycles but the legal ones are harmless enough.
This station is now the ultimate power in the fediverse! I suggest we use it.
I get a different video, which is from one of the submitted links further down the page. My best guess is a Lemmy bug is shifting the clickable video element into a tiny box in the top right of the page.
I've been having some other issues on and off with the thumbnail rendering since we updated to the RC so maybe it's related. (Oddly the images are loading fine according to the network requests, it's just the CSS isn't being set right to display them.)
Smart fridges are one thing but there are many innocent folk relying on internet services to do normal and important things involving sensitive data - talk to family and friends, access healthcare, attend work, do their banking, school and childcare enrolments, even insurance. Should these things be replaced by rooms full of filing cabinets? Maybe, I dunno, that's a big call. Short of substantial collapse that renders the internet unavailable, these sort of things will continue to be online and ordinary people deserve all the security they can get. If you're working in cybersecurity to help people like this, then that is totally ethical in my view.
If you're lucky maybe you can land a role with some direct permacomputing aspects - reduce hardware requirements, simplification of systems, maintaining old hardware to maximise lifespan. But just avoiding roles where you or your organisation is encouraging people to view more ads or buy more stuff would be a good start.
