Can anyone recommend a screen-reader-accessible, self-hosted package that provides a web interface that communicates the status of multiple machines? UP, down, maintenance, etc? I think UptimeKuma can do this, so will check that out. But also very interested in any recommendations. Please boost for reach. Much appreciated.

Interview: Trump’s “Ugly American” Politics
"American interference in Southeast Asia goes back to President Woodrow Wilson in 1919, when he rejected Vietnamese demands for independence from France."
There's been "a series of mistakes over the past century", around US refusing to recognise states' rights to self-determination.

WARSAW INDEPENDENT BOOKFAIR 2025
„Im więcej wiesz, tym lepiej działasz”
Zapraszamy na IX edycję Warsaw Independent Bookfair, który odbędzie się w Warszawie w terminie 6-7.09.2025
Warsaw Independent Bookfair 2025 to przestrzeń wolnej myśli i kultury, będąco narzędziem sprzeciwu wobec cichej cenzury, monopolizacji i kapitalistycznych ograniczeń rynku książki. Działamy, aby wspierać twórców i twórczynie, którzy odrzucają komercyjne kompromisy, bronią autonomii swoich przekazów i budują alternatywne modele dystrybucji oraz współpracy. Wydarzenie jest otwarte dla wszystkich osób, które wierzą w wartość samoorganizacji, oddolnej solidarności i anarchistycznych idei jako siły zmieniającej świat. W zeszłych latach wiele dyskutowaliśmy o tych pojawiających się problemach. Widzimy że ich rozwiązanie wymaga globalnej świadomości, solidarności między twórcami i czytelnikami, oraz wsparcia dla niezależnych inicjatyw kulturowych. Tak jak przez ostatnie lata, tak i teraz chcemy nie tylko pogłębić nasze dyskusje i krytyki, ale także wypracować rozwiązania. Zapraszamy was do aktywnego uczestnictwa w wydarzeniu.
Deklamujcie manifesty!
Spotykajcie się i dyskutujcie!
Prezentujcie nowe rozwiązania!
Bądźcie kreatywni i kreatywne!
Jesteśmy otwarci na Wasze propozycje!
Wydarzeniu będą towarzyszyć spotkania (także w formie online), w trakcie których będą poruszane tematy obecnie zajmujące wydawnictwa niezależne oraz inicjatywy oddolne, które wpisują się w ideę dziewiątego Niezależnego Kiermaszu Książek. Jest on otwarty na przekaz równościowy obejmujący głos osób wykluczanych. Jest przestrzenią do wspólnego dzielenia się naszymi doświadczeniami, uczenia się od siebie nawzajem, dyskutowania z szacunkiem nad alternatywami oraz spojrzenia krytycznie na współczesną rzeczywistość.
W poprzednim w kiermaszu brały udział wydawnictwa, kolektywy i osoby reprezentujące różne środowiska zarówno z Polski jak i zagranicy. Wydarzenie przyciągnęło też sporo miłośniczek i miłośników książek i liczymy na to, że w tym roku będzie podobnie.
Naszym wyróżnikiem jest też to, że nie pobieramy opłaty za stoisko. Jeśli bardzo chcesz przyjechać a jedyną przeszkodą są dla Ciebie finanse, napisz do nas – spróbujemy coś razem wymyślić. Kiermasz jest bezpłatny dla osób odwiedzających.
Ponieważ mamy ograniczoną liczbę stanowisk, prosimy o wcześniejsze zgłoszenie. Na zgłoszenia czekamy do 1 czerwca 2025 r. pod adresem warsawbookfair[at]riseup.net. Na ten sam adres mailowy można przysyłać wszelkie propozycje współpracy, pytania i uwagi odnośnie wydarzenia.
Zapraszamy!

WARSAW INDEPENDENT BOOKFAIR 2025
‘The more you know, the better you act’.
We would like to invite you to the 9th edition of Warsaw Independent Bookfair, which will take place in Warsaw on 6-7.09.2025
Warsaw Independent Bookfair 2025 is a space for free thought and culture, a tool for opposing the silent censorship, monopolisation and capitalist restrictions of the book market. We act to support authors and creators who reject commercial compromises, defend the autonomy of their messages and build alternative models of distribution and collaboration. The event is open to all people who believe in the value of self-organisation, grassroots solidarity and anarchist ideas as a world-changing force. In the past years we have discussed a lot about these emerging issues. We recognise that their solution requires global awareness, solidarity between creators and readers, and support for independent cultural initiatives. As we have done in recent years, we want not only to deepen our discussions and critiques, but also to develop solutions. We invite you to actively participate in the event.
Declare manifestos!
Meet and discuss!
Present new solutions!
Be creative and imaginative!
We are open to your suggestions!
The event will be accompanied by meetings (also online) to discuss topics currently preoccupying independent publishers and grassroots initiatives that fit in with the idea of the ninth Independent Bookfair. It is open to an equality message that includes the voice of the excluded. It is a space to share our experiences together, learn from each other, respectfully discuss alternatives and take a critical look at contemporary reality.
The previous fair was attended by publishers, collectives and individuals representing a variety of backgrounds from both Poland and abroad. The event also attracted quite a few book lovers and we hope that this year will be similar.
Our distinctive feature is also that we do not charge for a stand. If you really want to come and the only obstacle for you is finances, write to us – we will try to work something out together. The fair is free for visitors.
As we have a limited number of stands, we ask you to register in advance. We are waiting for applications until 1 June 2025 at warsawbookfair@riseup.net. You can send any collaboration proposals, questions and comments about the event to the same email address.
We look forward to hearing from you!

A natural experiment? Ivermectin is now available over the counter in some US states. What is it used for?
https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/24/health/ivermectin-infection-treatment-prevention-wellness
There is the question of what is SHOULD be used for, and what it WILL be used for. We will see results in real time! #publichealth #ivermectin #alternativemedicine #self-medication
For me, being agender is about embracing my own sense of self, free from the limitations and assumptions that come with binary gender norms.

Again: what is the Self?
'If we stop clinging to Self, only to turn around and cling to No Self, have we really progressed any towards truth? It’s still clinging to views. In an effort to deconstruct these teachings, let’s try something.
What if there is a Self, but it doesn’t mean what we’ve always thought it meant? Sometimes we first have to shed our old views of something to finally see it. Can’t see the new if the old gets in the way all the time.'
in the end, are we just folding into ourselves like a Möbius strip of DNA?

People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character. We can only see what we are, and if we misbehave we suspect others.

The only thing I can "promo" today is the sample stories pinned to my profile. Yesterday, I deleted my web-novel Mars Needed Women (#RSMarsNeededWomen) as I am now heavily revising it and proofing it. The 23K story was essentially a first draft when posted it on Mastodon as I wrote it over 31 days, but now I've added plenty extra material (see my A2 answer, which greatly improves the chapter titled Shelter). I will be shipping out a beta to my beta readers probably next week. Of course, if anyone else is interested in becoming a beta reader, go ahead and PM me.

Revisiting my gayography, I realized my perspective of self and life as a #gay man evolved into something broader over my seventy years.
