I'm quoted in this article. Things were a real mess last year. I am very happy the 2024 Worldcon in Glasgow has already committed to transparency and openness regarding the Hugo Awards this year. It's nice to see things on the path to being corrected.

"Cantus is a database of the Latin chants found in manuscripts and early printed books, primarily from medieval Europe. This searchable digital archive holds inventories of antiphoners and breviaries -- the main sources for the music sung in the Latin liturgical Office -- as well as graduals and other sources for music of the Mass."

@matz @medievodons @ClaireFromClare It has been my pleasure to help you out. Specifically for the ancient Italian music (dal Trecento al Settecento), you might already know this one: https://www.itmi.it/

@selfhosted Have a commerical @wireguard vpn on my server. The problem i have is that if i use a docker, it does use the vpn interface with iptables, but if that goes down, the docker still goes through without the vpn interface. I have looked at iptables, but docker makes it own, and bit of a minefield. Any ideas? Thanks

4 Halvard Leira: Reunited: International Relations Meets the (New) Diplomatic History (1/5)

emdiplomacy OP ,
@emdiplomacy@hcommons.social avatar

has a lot to offer, as @halvardl suggests in terms of theorisation and abstraction that could help of when they tackle with the difficult questions of what actual is and who and what was a . At the same time, he warns historians to be careful when adapting modern concepts like public to avoid anachronism. Moreover, Leira sees lots of potential in comparisons across time and space. This could help getting out of its eurocentric bubble. (4/5)

But it’s not only that can learn from an exchange with : @halvardl is sure that this could give a better understanding of how and when ‘the international’ emerged and changed. There is much to learn for both sides and we are looking forward to explore at least some of the questions raised by Leira. (5/5)

I've seen a fair amount of anecdotal theories that sensory sensitivities get worse with age; however I'm curious as to whether that may be caused by many older autistic people experiencing which also makes sensory stuff worse...

@AutieScot anecdotal but mine definitely get worse when I'm in burnout - they are incredibly bad right now.

1857 in , , and the :

The Sepoy Mutiny was a major uprising against the rule of the British East India Company.

The Mexican Reform War was a result of the promulgation of the Constitution of 1857, fiercely opposed by Conservatives and the Catholic Church.

The Panic of 1857 was triggered and the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision was held by the Supreme Court.

What the new tech creator-content platforms and economy miss

Adam Neely on "quitting " puts two ideas together (that I hadn't) and implicitly asks "what if the new platform/economy fails you"

Longevity and freedom from traditional gatekeepers. The content-creator economy fails on these promises.

Burn out is baked in and ignoring the traditional gate-keepers is at your own very serious risk.

The world is the same, tech is just milking us.

@maegul @workreform I've been referring to this as "the single platform creator trap" - a creator who is trapped by their own belief that they can't control the value they bring, is stuck within one third-party online platform, and who doesn't fundamentally know how to recreate their success or take it elsewhere.

Creators who can make multiple platforms work always always always have way more control.

It's a self-imposed alienation from owning the means of production in Marxist terms.

From @LineageOS install instructions - success is normal, but errors are also fine:

> Normally, adb will report Total xfer: 1.00x, but in some cases, even if the process succeeds the output will stop at 47% and report adb: failed to read command: Success. In some cases it will report adb: failed to read command: No error or adb: failed to read command: Undefined error: 0 which is also fine.

@android

tubaruco ,

yeah its just you

or maybe i didnt understand it…

zak OP ,
@zak@social.goodanser.com avatar

@tubaruco It's from these installation instructions, which say "it might error, but that's fine". Usually error messages mean it's not fine, so I found it fairly amusing.
