We are launching a #PeerTube instance!

Why?

- No ads!
- Hosted by us in Latvia
- Powered by all MikroTik gear, runs on a RDS
- No cloud run by any "don't be evil" people
- No trackers
- And of course, find all the MikroTik content in one place, organized and sorted in an easy to follow way

For now, only one video though:
tiktube.com/w/7PBqw2rJ933B1q98โ€ฆ

You can follow the videos right here on Mastodon, just hit follow here: mikrotik.social/@mikrotik@tiktโ€ฆ

Hierarchical Token Bucket in Linux and RouterOS


Dive into a theoretical exploration on how Linux handles Quality of Service using Traffic Control and how HTB can play into that. After that it will become apparent how this all connects to RouterOS Queuing capabilities.

Hey #OSM and #osmand community. My sighted partner and I are getting into osmand. Paired it with #BRouter for the rides with our tandem-bike.

This morning we were wondering if there is a navigation profile or if we could easily create it which allows routing by food which prioritizes street crossings with tactile markers and/or audible trafic lights.

In my opinion as a #blind pedestrian that would be a very nice thing to have.

Thanks for reading and boosting and of cause any answers that might help!

huffpost.com/entry/intersex-dnโ€ฆ #intersex people are 2% of the population though many have no idea until later in life. #Trump and his anti #trans agenda wont just hurt trans people, it will hurt these people as well. Apparently people on the right are much more sympathetic to intersex people when they are presented with them, so arguing for them can help shoehorn in trans rights as well.

Friendica.world maintenance


Today starting 19:30 CET / 17:30 UTC we will be doing maintenance on friendica.world. Some downtime may occur, this time planned...

We'll be taking a next step in trying to fix the performance of this instance, we'll move the frontend processes to separate VMs, so the physical box will only have the database to worry about.

With this we can better scale the frontend, and after that we can focus on getting the database performance improved.

Actually it will take multiple seconds from selected to being able to input anything

# Switching to #linux was the best decision of my life, and i'm not exaggerating.

I've learned more in the past four years than in seven years of using #windows. What i've learned is valuable and useful. And i regret nothing but that i didn't switch earlier.

Switching to linux doesn't have to be fun. It will be exhausting, time consuming and frustrating at most times. And this is exactly what you should want.

Trying, breaking and fixing things are essential parts of your learning process. Daily driving linux is a daily learning experience.

I have a #learningdisorder which made me feel useless to the #IT industry. This year i had an internship which changed that completely. My #impostersyndrome and doubts are gone. And i can't even describe how good this feels.

Meta have been asking some users to confirm their identity with a 'video selfie', & for supposed account recovery. Soon, more users will be asked with threat of blocking or deleting their account as Meta prepares to launch their facial recog glasses (soon on shelves).

But it's not just about feeding their new product. Meta are harvesting biometric data on a vast scale, perhaps globally, & in full cohort with a dangerous regime.

Leaving Meta is an important act of resistance, now more than ever

I'm trying my hardest not to use any AI, because I don't believe there's an ethical way to use it considering the amount of damage and harm it creates.

One thing I'm noticing lately is AI popping up in things that I use without the option to opt out*.

Can people please leave comments about where they've noticed AI happening, so that I can also be aware of those things.. like it took me a minute to realise that Co-pilot was actually AI and not just a fancy form of spellcheck, I've just heard about Duolingo and Audible, and the Ask Tiktok search thing is also AI.

What else do I need to be aware of?

Thanks!

Recommendation systems used by Spotify, Netflix etc. often use machine learning, which is lumped under the umbrella of "AI".

scientificamerican.com/articleโ€ฆ

They're not like the LLMs (Large Language Models) like Co-Pilot, ChatGPT, Gemini etc) that have become the default definition of AI at the moment.

There is also types of AI in how most smart phones take and process photos that can sometimes result in some weird results.

So avoiding all varieties of AI is almost impossible. Avoiding LLMs is easier in web search. I use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine and there's an opt out of its use of LLM. However I think all browsers are gonna imbed LLMs soon (Brave does but again there's an opt out). Firefox will prob soon.

So AI/machine learning may not necessarily be a bad thing depending on its intended application, source data, who creates it and who is the intended user/target, and any power imbalance between those two.

The web feels so broken. Subscription and login gates at every corner. Using Google on a phone now means being periodically quizzed on which of the buttons to press to *not* be redirected to the app store. Opening an Instagram link casually throws up a browser alert dialog because it tries to automatically open an unsupported URL scheme, presumably their own app, and apparently everyone is fine with it. I'm proud that Mastodon never locks public content behind login walls.

Prinzipiell schon richtig. Aber dass viele Menschen die Produkte eines Konzerns nutzen, rechtfertigt keine RechtsverstรถรŸe des Konzerns, die man mit "Leute haben selbst schuld" abtun kann. Die von Meta geplante Datenverarbeitung verstรถรŸt aus unserer Sicht gegen grundlegende Vorgaben der Datenschutzgrundverordnung und des Digital Markets Act.

When it comes to self-hosting (and my own slice of "digital sovereignty"), I'm often drawn to try the #Nextcloud app for the specific need first.

However, quite often, these are not the best of breed for the given task - and it's not balanced by integration benefits between the apps either.

That's actually quite sad, and I think NC is losing a *lot* of potential by not curating and guiding the app ecosystem better.
