      <description>&lt;p&gt;it can’t go beyond 7B models, but for translation, small coding projects, fixing broken linux system, that kind of work, it works really nice (I have not tested with newer approach that offload bigger models to disk tho)&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Just found an issue with the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bsky.app/profile/rmendes.net/feed/aaae7x6v75yog&quot;&gt;skyfleet&lt;/a&gt;
it was producing duplicates on 6 or 7 accounts of the fleet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;the reason ? I had not fully decommissioned the old docker deployment, so when I restarted the VM, the systemd service did its job and restarted part of the fleet, this created a situation in which the fleet plus individual duplicates containers for some account were running at the same time, hence creating duplicates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s now solved !&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Autistici/Inventati (A/I), is an Italian collective that has been providing digital infrastructure – email, hosting, mailing lists, chat, videoconferencing, streaming, and services related to privacy and anonymity – to movements and activists since 2001.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On August 26, Washington designated it as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT), alleging that it has provided financial, material or technological support to terrorism and to organizations already subjected to sanctions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.inventati.org/campaign/press&quot;&gt;Read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile the global far-right/neofascist militias are freely organizing and building the digital infrastructure to be the armed wing of democratically elected authoritarian regimes sponsored by nihilistic billionaires.&lt;/p&gt;

      <link>https://rmendes.net/notes/2026/09/02/b77fd/</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://rmendes.net/notes/2026/09/02/b77fd/</guid>
      <pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2026 15:42:25 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;What are the difference between my indiekit-syndicator-bluesky fork and upstream core package ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;@rmdes/indiekit-syndicator-bluesky was cut from @indiekit/syndicator-bluesky around February 2026 and has since roughly doubled in size — about 1,050 lines against upstream’s 620 — while gaining no upstream commits back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Upstream remains a deliberately minimal syndicator: it posts notes and photos, natively likes and reposts Bluesky URLs, and silently declines anything else, returning undefined for likes or reposts of non-Bluesky links.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fork’s entire reason for existing is that last case: it turns external likes, reposts, and bookmarks into real Bluesky posts carrying an Open Graph link card, fetching the card metadata itself with jsdom and synthesising an SVG-to-PNG thumbnail through sharp when the target page has no OG image.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On top of that it adds reply threading (in-reply-to → resolveReplyRef(), which upstream has no equivalent for), quote-post and recordWithMedia embeds, manual link facets so anchor text in HTML content stays clickable, and an own-domain-aware URL extractor that decides whether the OG card should show an external link or the post’s own permalink.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Upstream, meanwhile, has not stood still: it added a includeCategories option that renders JF2 categories as trailing hashtags, moved to @atproto/api 0.20 / sharp 0.35 / html-to-text 10 and Node ≥ 24 — none of which the fork has picked up, and it still pins @atproto/api ^0.19.3.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The one place the two actively disagree rather than merely differ is text truncation: upstream delegates to the brevity package for permashortlink-aware shortening, whereas the fork dropped that dependency and hand-rolls a 300-character slice. The fork also dropped upstream’s three test files and the plugin icon asset, so it carries the larger surface area with none of the automated coverage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Very soon some of these features will be ported to upstream core package, this is a work in progress.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

      <pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2026 09:19:35 GMT</pubDate>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I have been self-hosting RSS readers (tt-rss, freshrss, miniflux, etc) for over a decade now, after having tried and used most of the cloud hosted RSS reader such as google reader, NetNewsWire, Inoreader, Feedme etc… but its only when I added a Microsub plugin to my indiekit server that things really got interesting, I can now consume my favorite RSS feeds directly from where I blog, this means, likes, repost, bookmarks or simply writing a note against an item I just read is one click away, from the same UI.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My microsub implementation use channels to segment different RSS feeds, I can import/export OPML, mark “&lt;a href=&quot;https://rmendes.net/readlater/&quot;&gt;read it later&lt;/a&gt;” if its something I want to return to later, the UI is a bit clunky but it works and its able to consume any type of feeds, RSS, Atom, JSONfeed or even pure indieweb h-feed, it has auto discovery built-in so adding a new source is really smooth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This plugin is being ported to indiekit origin, we are at PR 1 over 7 to come !&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pro tip: use reading-mode on Firefox or Vivaldi and then use built-in translation, resulting in full story, no ads.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;TLDR;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of Mullvad’s two founders/owners, Daniel Berntsson, has personally spent more than SEK 20 million acquiring property around a libertarian intentional community whose core network has significant documented overlap with Sweden’s far right, including Det Fria Sverige and former neo-Nazi activists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He has longstanding personal ties to the people running it, is a shareholder in the company owning its communal building, and confirms that he deliberately finances libertarian community-building projects.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Separately, he gave SEK 5 million to a political party campaigning for large-scale remigration.&lt;/p&gt;
