Finally writing another little update ^_^

Opening and closing tickets is implemented. Submitting patches / merge requests too.

Now implementing updates to MRs and merging MRs. Then updating the spec.

I hope we can make a patch/MR federation demo sometime soon.

In August, @peertube entered a new stage in the development of #PeerTube v3. The objective is to raise €60k so they can implement, (1) global search, (2) moderation, (3) plugins & playlists, and (4) live streaming, here's the roadmap: https://joinpeertube.org/roadmap/.

They already raised €37k which covers steps (1) and (2) and we're almost there for step (3) which is €40k.

Let's help build a decentralized alternative to #YouTube. Please boost and, if possible, donate.

Just found that #OrgMode let you attach files to an outline node and then let you refer to these attachments with links. And you can attach multiple files on one outline.

C-c C-a a: Attach a file to the current outline
C-c C-a o: Open file attached to the current outline

When you put a link, start it's URL with "attachment:" and #Emacs will ask you wich attachment you want to link to.

When you attach a file, it is copied inside a data/ folder.

Now, twenty years later, all the address books have been stolen. Everyone has all the data. Identifying the right people (or spamming everyone) is easy and cheap.

Which makes the point even more urgent than ever: Without trust and connection, access to data is worthless.
