🔋 New major feature: When Tor is running as a client, and it is unused for a long time, it can now enter a "dormant" state. When Tor is dormant, it avoids network and CPU activity until it is re-awoken either by a user request or by a controller command. https://blog.torproject.org/new-release-tor-0405

Battle for Wesnoth

The Battle for Wesnoth is an open source, turn-based strategy game with a high fantasy theme. It features both singleplayer and online/hotseat multiplayer combat.

Explore the world of Wesnoth and take part in its many adventures! Embark on a desperate quest to reclaim your rightful throne... Flee the Lich Lords to a new home across the sea... Delve into the darkest depths of the earth to craft a jewel of fire itself... Defend your kingdom against the ravaging hordes of a foul necromancer... Or lead a straggly band of survivors across the blazing sands to confront an unseen evil.

The choice is up to you...

Does hub.disroot.org work without JavaScript? Curious because diasp.org needs JS to work.

Nope, it doesn't :) Realized that pretty quickly.

So many things need it. Eye opening realization.

Drat! :)

Neat idea

It is neat to see that there is a publicly available way for people to redirect their spam to a blocklist. Love the concept, I've definitely used honeypots locally but never like this. I wonder if this one is functional.

This might be a neat way to subscribe to RSS feeds through ActivityPub.

I wonder if Hubzilla has a more elegant solution or if this is the best option currently available?

Gentoo quickpkg is handy

Before tinkering with a named update, I backed up the binary and config

quickpkg net-dns/bind --include-config y

I've never needed to restore from such a backup until today.

emerge --usepkgonly net-dns/bind

It worked perfectly!

Now for some more reading up on why the upgrade failed :)
