It was taken by William Anders on Dec. 24, 1968, on the Apollo 8 mission and is the first photo ever taken of the earth with the moon in the foreground. Itโs a reminder that we only have one world and its people are all we have. Take care of both.
Regardless of your beliefs, may the holiday season bring you peace.

Asda, light to moderate, heavy crowds by evening.
M&S and Co-Op, fair.
Waitrose, fair to moderate.
Lidl, rough at first, easing later.
And thatโs the end of the Shopping Forecast.

We set up a new Mastodon instance focused on supporting nonprofit/charitable organizations. If you know of such an organization looking for a place in the Fediverse, please point them our way.

Para quem se interessa em ter uma instรขncia prรณpria no Fediverso, recomendo ler o artigo da Elena Rossini sobre a experiรชncia dela com o Yunohost, ferramenta que ela (e eu) usamos para autohospedar nossas prรณprias aplicaรงรตes.
(Detalhe: somos 2 mulheres hospedando nossas prรณprias instรขncias. Que isso sirva de encorajamento para outras mulheres "que nรฃo se sentem capazes" - e de provocaรงรฃo para os machรตes de plantรฃo que acham que isso nรฃo รฉ coisa de mulher. ;o) )
A Elena fez um super trabalho nesse artigo - para quem nรฃo tem perfil tech e nรฃo saberia escolher um servidor, ela dรก as recomendaรงรตes dos passos iniciais, sugere 3 empresas diferentes com preรงo em conta - e ainda vai publicar outros artigos com a continuaรงรฃo.
Eu sou muito fรฃ do Yunohost e nรฃo teria instรขncia prรณpria se nรฃo fosse por ele. Na prรกtica, uma das coisas que o Yunohost oferece รฉ uma interface com centenas de softwares open source (como o Mastodon, Friendica, Nextcloud e muito mais, veja a lista completa aqui: apps.yunohost.org/catalog) que vocรช pode instalar no seu servidor em apenas alguns cliques, como se vocรช instalasse uma aplicaรงรฃo na app store. Ele mesmo faz as configuraรงรตes iniciais e automatiza boa parte dos processos - inclusive a criaรงรฃo de certificados (Let's Encrypt).
Alguns softwares precisam que vocรช acesse pelo terminal para fazer algumas operaรงรตes - o Friendica รฉ um exemplo (mas รฉ porque tem um bug na versรฃo atual), se me lembro bem o Pixelfed tambรฉm precisava. Mas existe manual de instruรงรตes para tudo isso, e ainda que a pessoa nรฃo saiba programar, dรก para fazer. Mas com outros softwares, basta clicar no botรฃo "instalar" e tcham, vocรช tem sua prรณpria plataforma - a instรขncia do Peertube foi extremamente fรกcil de instalar, nรฃo precisei entrar no servidor e tal, tudo foi feito via interface grรกfica do Yunohost.
Outro ponto positivo: o Yunohost automatiza as atualizaรงรตes. Entรฃo por exemplo, se o Mastodon lanรงar uma nova versรฃo, em poucos dias o pessoal do Yunohost a disponibiliza e o processo de atualizaรงรฃo, incluindo o backup, รฉ automatizado. Vocรช clica em um botรฃo e atualiza sua plataforma.
Eu poderia criar instรขncia "na raรงa", como uma "verdadeira dev" pois jรก programei e consigo me virar, em tese. MAS os projetos open source sofrem de um problema crรดnico que se chama: documentaรงรฃo desatualizada (ou ausente mesmo). Eu jรก sofri muito tentando instalar software open source eu mesma, com as parcas informaรงรตes que encontrava. E รณbvio, se nรฃo existe documentaรงรฃo publicada, nรฃo existe GenIA que saiba a resposta, entรฃo nรฃo, nรฃo dava para contar com a falsa inteligรชncia das GenIAs. Ok, talvez eu tenha tentado instalar projetos marginais, mas o trauma ficou.
Consequentemente, o processo de instalaรงรฃo de alguns projetos open source, pelo menos no meu nรญvel de conhecimento devops baby, รฉ uma batalha. O Yunohost facilita essa etapa, e ainda me permite nรฃo somente criar uma instรขncia no Fediverso como instalar centenas de aplicaรงรตes รบteis no meu dia a dia, como leitor de RSS, arquivagem de sites, blog, cloud prรณpria, ferramenta de vรญdeoconferรชncia privativa etc - vejam a lista no link acima, as possibilidades sรฃo infinitas, lembrando que um dos maiores interesses de fazer isso รฉ poder usar ferramentas que TE RESPEITAM, que nรฃo te vigiam, saber que seus dados nรฃo sรฃo vendidos nem compartilhados com ninguรฉm. E para mim, รฉ caminho sem volta - bem que diziam que autohospedar as prรณprias aplicaรงรตes era viciante. No meu caso nรฃo sei se รฉ vicio, mas a sensaรงรฃo de empoderamento รฉ quase fรญsica - eu fico impressionada cada vez que instalo algo que funciona super bem e que, se fosse usar um aplicativo equivalente feito por alguma empresa, ia me custar um bom dinheiro.
New post: "A newbie's guide to self-hosting with #YunoHost. Part 1: reasons + requirements"๐ : blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbieโฆ
I can't believe my #selfhosting one year anniversary is coming up next week. @yunohost truly changed my digital life - for the better.
This is a 1st post in a 4 part miniseries intended for real newbies.
And now excuse me while I go hide in a cave expecting irate replies from sysadmins about certain things I wrote ๐

Video games come to mind. You could probably figure out how to host a game server of their choice (think something like Minecraft) so him and his friends can play. Docker is a nice shortcut for that, and you also get to sprinkle in some networking knowledge too for opening ports and such.
If games are off the table, could try to figure out some hardware to interact with. Having some sort of robot that you can control with an API could be fun.
On the line with hardware, you can get a raspberry pi, and try to work with him to blink an LED via Scratch or Python. Then work to something even bigger.
If typing is a struggle you could do typeracer or something like that to figure out who can type faster.
You could build a basic website together with some CSS and HTML. Make like, a fan site for his favorite band (or whatever hes into). Maybe he wants to make something for his friends to see.
Or, ask them if there is something theyve wanted to know how it works...then build some sort of project using it.

Minecraft server + mods + introducing scripting his own mods/customizations? Suggested simply because gaming is a great way to introduce computing concepts that kids can visually see the output from.
Otherwise, I'd suggest showing him how to create his own web pages, creating visual programming games, etc. Find his favorite hobbies (music, art, animals) and start creating something around that hobby so that the computing piece is just as interesting.

Australian ban on under16s social media
!Fediverse - Ive been spending alot of time driving lately and I heard again about the impending ban on social media for under 16yo children in Australia.
It made me wonder whether there is as opportunity/ use case for #ActivityPub based solutions that allow schools / community groups to offer accounts to their parents - that could be then used by those parents to offer moderated/ controlled child accounts (for their children).
Parent accounts would have vistability and potentially control over who child accounts can follow/conmunicate with. Schools could use it for communication with parents and/or pupils.

As a software developer myself I can see why you'd adopt the latest greatest ASAP. Developing a tool used by many is fun in itself, but incorporating new possibilities keeps it fun for yourself as well. At least, that's how I experience these things.
I just hope FreeBSD packages will be at 8.5 as soon as firefly adopts it ๐
