Today @beasts published a blog post [¹] on why SPF, DKIM and DMARC make it all but impossible to do email forwarding in a tidy and reliable way. This leads me to wonder what the implications would be of forwarding messages by wrapping them in other messages with Content-Type: message/rfc822?

Regarding the UK's Online Safety Act: I see lots of arguments not to worry because Ofcom doesn't have the resources or interest to go after small low-risk sites.
E.g: https://cupoftea.social/@duckyfella/113893820384456398
That's probably valid in the current circumstances.
Anybody want to bet that'll still be true if we have a more politically motivated government - e.g., Musk's pick for Farage's replacement as leader of the Reform party and prime minister who would have the opportunity to use the Act selectively?
There's a general rule of not giving government's powers you wouldn't want your worst enemies to have.

If Russia and China keep up this shit with cable cutting maybe the West should just drop all telecomms connections with them, especially the internet [¹]. I wonder how much that'd incidentally help with crap like this: https://hachyderm.io/@joeyh/113782572310210568

Just tried to follow somebody on BlueSky via the @bsky.brid.gy bridge. Also mentioned to them on their blog that I'd tried and asked them to enable it. Got the reply “Sorry, but I can’t enable that. Fediverse doesn’t work for Europe.”
Anybody any idea what they're thinking of? That BlueSky doesn't allow the bridge for users in the EU for GDPR reasons or something?

Really wanted to listen to this #LimitsToGrowth podcast https://fediscience.org/@steve/113626131492227006 but really can't cope with the loud music played over the speech. Gave up after a few minutes. This is not the first podcast or documentary video I've given up on for this reason. Not all of us have perfect hearing or audio processing!

Search engines often search for alternative terms to those you asked for, saying so in the response. Which is more irritating?

Just read: https://www.statsmapsnpix.com/2023/04/the-longest-line-part-2.html?m=1 via a toot https://ecoevo.social/@sarahdalgulls/113418720291452307 by @sarahdalgulls boosted by @ruari .
Though in practice with real road data with a high density of vertices it won't make any noticeable difference the algorithm given isn't right because it assumes the longest straight line completely inside a polygon is between vertices whereas for concave polygons it can, in general, end on a point on an edge between the vertices.

Anybody else using an “early adopter” Pinetab? I.e., one of the ones from the Kickstarter or whatever it was process which is slightly different from the production Pinetabs and more different from the Pinetab2s.
Mine's been running Mobian for a long time with no updates because Mobian's dropped support. Something's gone wrong so it won't boot that any more. I suspect corruption of the internal ROM.
It boots JumpDive or Ubuntu Touch off an SD card OK (though UT doesn't seem to work properly - applications open a window but don't get beyond showing a big version of their icon).
Any suggestion of a current, supported, system I can install?

OH: somebody behind me on the bus reading out a URL on the phone - “hatch tee tee pee es dot dot slash…” … “those two little dots on top of each other, I don't know what they're called” … then proceeds to read the rest of the URL quite clear using correct NATO/ICAO phonetic alphabet.

@justine It might amuse you to know that your Atom feed, despite being quite valid AFAICS, breaks the feed reader I use for now:
https://github.com/lwindolf/liferea/issues/1382
I'd be grateful if you didn't “fix” your feed (i.e., add the rel="alternate") at least until they fix Liferea.

Full-text RSS is a daft idea. If you want the full text for a particular article just fetch the original page.
RSS stands for many things but in at least some the final 'S' is 'Summary' for good reasons.
Putting the full text in the RSS feed means downloading the whole of the last twenty or whatever articles every time there's a new article which is a complete waste of time and bandwidth.

@klardotsh Re this Cybertruck 120V thing: https://tech.lgbt/@LilahTovMoon/113137909898473080
Seems to me very much more likely than not that the problem here is a maliciously or stupidly badly wired charger (120V on the neutral and PE lines) and that any car plugged into it would exhibit this behaviour.
Reposting shit which has little credibility doesn't help anybody.

I was on the bus through Berriedale yesterday. The woman in front of me was videoing with her phone. Fair enough, it's quite scenic even if you've driven it ~100 times before, particularly on a bright sunny day.
But she was holding her phone upright. OK, it's a generational thing but also it's literally landscape, even if it's more vertical than many bits of landscape.

For reasons that are not immediately apparent to me @micefearboggis [¹] has left a TAO buoy [²] on my keyboard via an oddly easy thing: https://fediscience.org/@micefearboggis/113039068305373549 . It is, at least, mildly entertaining for a few seconds to pan round it and move closer and further away, looking though the phone.
