Some folks asked about the recording of the Panel discussion about Rust in production at EuroRust I was part of. You can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubXvKRbULuo&feature=youtu.be

Let's take a moment to introduce you to our speakers for tomorrow's event (17th November)...
Benjamin Black is an obstetrician and gynaecologist who has travelled widely and provided care in Asia and Africa. His new book, Belly Woman reports on his time providing maternity care during an exponential Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone in 2014.

Anna Kent is a midwife and nurse who has provided life-saving work in war zones, including caring for the health of 30,000 Royhinga refugees in Bangladesh. Her book, Frontline Midwife reflects on her experiences in overseas humanitarian work, as well as her NHS work in the UK.

@jerry I have endless respect for you taking this on, and hope people grant you grace when the time comes. But even with donations you do not owe people ongoing endless babysitting or diplomacy. That is the conceit of Mastodon and it's users must come to terms with it.

Moderation being an unaccountable black-box is a feature of social media like Twitter, not a bug. The administrators of Mastodon will reach a point where the community is split, but a decision has to be made. This will suck extremely hard.

It’s our final night at the beach until March. Just about every night we are here, she coaxes me to come sit with her on the balcony, 8 floors up, while she listens to the ocean and smells all the smells.

It can be so easy to miss the nuances of their personalities. Their loves and fears, the subtle inflection in their barks that mean different things. The way they try to communicate and get frustrated when we don’t understand.

Feeling good tonight. I hope your weekend is good. Be well.

Thought I’d do a little thread on the basics of #git and some #infosec tidbits:

Very quickly - git is the most popular tool used to manage source code, and while used by services like GitHub it is a seperate thing

Some quick terms:

Repository - this is where all your code is stored, as well as a .git folder that keeps track of your history and other essential bits of info.

Commit - a snapshot in time of your files, referenced by the SHA1 hash of the state of the repository when someone chose to commit those files.

Branch - a split in the timeline, you can branch off a particular commit and continue adding to it without changing other branches.

Pull request - this is something specific to remote hosting of git repos, once someone has made a branch they can ask to merge it into the main (or another) branch.

Now for the fun tidbits:

- Commits have an author, which has details like email address and name, this can be set to anything and is not verified in any way. For example, I can create a malicious commit pretending to be someone trusted and push it to a remote, and it will be (nearly) indistinguishable from a commit by them. In order to mitigate this, sign your commits with a GPG key!

- Websites with accidentally published .git folders - these are super juicy, while the current state of the repository may not have any credentials or leaked, a .git folder contains all the history of the project, people often leak an API key once and remove it in the next commit. It’s still there in the history.

Let me know if I’ve missed any fun bits!

There's only one kind of #NFTs we do here on the #Fediverse

*sadly goes to reset the counter to 0 on the "days since I saw someone shit on the existence of light themes" sign*

I think on average I see this like once a week.

I cannot see dark themes at all. And it's a hell of a thing to see this hostility not just to a software option but to my own existence and qualities as a person who uses this option. Like I've seen people say you have to be a psychopath to use light theme, which is an awesome way to double up on the ableism!

"Karma is when your medical society actually tweets about abortion rights"
Sharing our
(@arghavansallesmdphd @futuredocs) latest paper which looks at whether medical societies made a statement on abortion after the leak, and the final SCOTUS decision.

What did we find?
In the 2 weeks after, out of 186 societies:
9.1% of societies spoke up following the leak.
38.5% following the SCOTUS decision.

This week was 40 days after Bloody Friday, when the Islamic Republic of Iran’s agents attacked Friday prayer in Zahedan, killing ~90-100 people. Zahedan is the capital of Sistan and Baluchistan, a majority minority province. Though they make up 3% of the population, they account for roughly 1/3 of the total deaths in this revolution (over 300 total people have died so far).

This is a humanitarian crisis, and the world is largely silent.
