http://crates.io is at 50K crates? Congratulations, http://crates.io team! And congratulations Rust, on doing the work to build such a strong community & be so successful with a brand-new language!

@akkartik This is something I'm also fairly interested in. I would absolutely recommend an RK3399 based SBC. The RK3399 has excellent support for libre operating systems, including a very usable blobless Linux (or linux-libre) kernel.

I know Pine64 offers an RK3399 SBC but apparently there are issues with blobless video out.

ASUS Tinkerboard 2 uses an RK3399, though I haven't heard if that machine offers blobless video out or not (or if the video out issue with Pine64's SBC offerings is fixed)

@matiaslavik And @cryptpad is also on the #Fediverse 👌 🎉

CryptPad is an #opensource collaborative editor (think: Google Docs/Drive) with a strong focus on #privacy. I have been using it for a while, and would like to recommend it to others as well!

You can try it here: https://cryptpad.fr/drive/

You can create and share text documents, sheets, presentations, code, kanban boards and more.

You can use it for free, but I recommend supporting them either by upgrading to a paid subscription, or by donating here: https://opencollective.com/cryptpad/

Very sensible, very easy to implement, idea.

Question: could providers of authoritative DNS set this as a default set of records when they sell a domain, if it doesn’t come with MX services etc.?

QT ryancdotorg: If you have domains that you're not using for email, please set up DNS records to prevent spammers from using them.

. TXT "v=spf1 -all"
. MX . 0
_dmarc. TXT "v=DMARC1; p=reject;"

Now, in a move that only Disney would be brazen enough to try, they have unilaterally decided that they simply don't have to pay authors for their work.

#DearMickey #DisneyMustPay

I'm increasingly convinced that Disney is one of the companies that has done most harm in the world. Their harm is not economic or ecological, as in most cases, but cultural. Whenever Mickey Mouse would run out of copyright, they use their considerable power to make sure copyright terms are extended in the US – and because of US power, elsewhere in the world. This has robbed us a hundred years of culture that should be in public domain but instead is inaccessible and forgotten.
