#TIL about the `namei` tool which is sort of like #traceroute but for filesystem traversal.

This is especially useful on #nixos where you're frequently dealing with stuff that is multiple levels of symlinks deep.

It's probably already on your system because it's part of #utillinux; go try it out:

namei `which ls`

#namei #symlink #linux

Fedify is looking for new partnership opportunities!

What is Fedify?

#Fedify is an #ActivityPub-based federated server framework that helps developers easily integrate their applications with the #fediverse, a decentralized social network. It simplifies the complex implementation of the ActivityPub protocol, significantly reducing development time. Fedify is an open-source project available under the MIT license.

• Hackers' Pub: A fediverse blogging platform for software engineers (open source, AGPL-3.0)
• Encyclia: A bridge service that makes ORCID academic records available via ActivityPub

🚀 Value provided by Fedify

• 80% development time reduction: Utilize a proven framework instead of complex ActivityPub implementation
• Immediate fediverse compatibility: Instant compatibility with various fediverse services including Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, Pixelfed, PeerTube, etc.
• Expert technical support: Direct support from ActivityPub and Federation protocol experts
• Custom development: Tailored feature development to meet your specific requirements

🤝 Potential collaboration models

• Custom consulting and integration support: Professional assistance for integrating Fedify into your platform
• Custom feature development: Development and implementation of specific features needed for your platform
• Long-term technical partnership: Long-term collaboration for continuous development and maintenance

🌟 Benefits of collaborating with Fedify

Your experiences are not from thin air

People who wear glasses are disabled, BTW. We need disability aids to function as an active part of society. If you wear glasses, you are disabled; your disability is just one that happens to be highly (if not totally) accommodated. It is generally considered reasonable to insist that you need your glasses and cannot cope well without them, and glasses are readily available and prescriptions for them not heavily gated. Touching or taking them without your permission is considered rude and cruel.

To the surprise of no-one, #Fedora's flatpak repositories overriding #FlatHub are also messing up Showtime's user experience: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/Incubator/showtime/-/issues/54#note_2352113

After years of hard work, countless reviews, and tons of community testing, we're happy to share that dynamic buffering has landed in Mutter for GNOME 48!

This improves the smoothness of GNOME across a wide range of hardware and software setups.

Thanks to everyone involved in this collaboration! Special thanks to author Daniel van Vugt from Canonical and reviewers Jonas Ådahl and Michel Dänzer from Red Hat.

spoiler alert: not just because it’s written in Rust! that’s big, but even bigger is that we’re independent. we make decisions in the open, and we aren’t controlled by one big tech company.

the renaissance that gave us today’s modern, powerful, accessible web, where we can do anything a computer or phone can do without any plugins or native code, happened around 2012, and that’s no coincidence. more competition from independent engines with diverse communities is exactly what the web needs.
