As @a stated in our announcements channel on matrix, the Nexcloud and PeerTube instances will be shut down, as they require more maintenance and few people use them. They will be available until at least May 14 so users could export their data, after that all remaining files on Nextcloud will be moved to the home directory of each user.
@a has released the source code for the April Fools puzzle, which is quite interesting and includes some more explanations about the puzzle.
In this post, @iacore describes an algorithm for smarter exploration by picking actions wisely to avoid confusion instead of using the brute force approach.
In this post, @a reviews the total eclipse visible across the eastern US, including photos and almost a 5 hour trip.
@iacore wrote a post about representing concepts and self-expression using tuples, drawing inspiration from Lojban, Toki Pona, and RDF. RDF (which uses 3-tuples) is infamously arcane and not ergonomic, so it’s interesting that using 4-tuples instead can make a big difference.
The day is nigh: LDAP will soon be vanquished to its shadowy lair, never to be seen again! More seriously though, in a few weeks, exozyme will be switching our user management system from LDAP to Linux PAM since LDAP is a huge nightmare. This won’t cause any user-facing changes, other than that you can now use commands like chsh and chfn instead of ldapvi.
