I use Tokyonight themes (https://github.com/folke/tokyonight.nvim) in most of my terminal applications. So, why should not use them in my #GNOME Desktop Environment as well https://github.com/Fausto-Korpsvart/Tokyonight-GTK-Theme ?
Using the install.sh CLI is quite straightforward, and you can choose the just installed look and feel by using GNOME tweaks tool (https://itsfoss.com/gnome-tweak-tool/). Some additional icons are also provided!

Avui fent la tirada llarga 
de cap de setmana, m'he trobat amb un escenari propi de l'imaginari apocalíptic: una infraestructura humana conquerida per la natura. És el camí de Can Marcet (https://www.openstreetmap.org/?#map=17/41.498043/2.069131), a Sant Cugat del Vallès, on sembla que tot un carrer, amb voreres i instal·lacions com arbustos i fanals, però sense edificar-hi als costats, ha estat abandonat i engolit per la vegetació 
. Tot un espectacle!
Quan vaig a córrer per la muntanya 
acostumo a planificar la ruta amb #OSMAnd (una aplicació mòbil basada @osmcatala@mastodont.cat). A vegades miro d'improvisar i explorar nous corriols, que llavors s'incorporaran en l'amalgama de fragments per configurar rutes futures. Per a fer-ho, exporto la traça GPS de l'aplicació del meu rellotge esportiu 
i la importo en el web de l'OpenStreetMap (https://www.openstreetmap.org/traces - Més informació a: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Upload_GPS_tracks). Tot seguit miro de dibuixar i desar els corriols resseguint la traça importada.
Cada mes hi ha actualitzacions de mapes a l'OSMAnd i el més segur és que les contribucions fetes s'hi hagin incorporat. Amb això, ja puc marcar noves rutes i permetre que altres corredors o excursionistes 
també se'n puguin beneficiar.

@jni The Fediverse is more like medieval feudalism than like modern democracy. Defederation is a way of handling conflicts between lords, which individually may or may not care about their vassals.
Compared to the empires of centralized networks, that's progress, but there remains a lot of room for improvement. One promising ideas is running instances as cooperatives, as e.g. https://social.coop/. A federation of cooperations only could probably handle conflicts in a much better way.

Re: #LLM #AI in scientific products. The jinni is out of the bottle, as people will be using these tools at an increasing rate to automate tasks in science. Asking them to go back to 2019 is simply NOT going to happen. But we should maximize transparency & #scienceedu by not only asking them to declare the use, but also show HOW these products were used. In a sense #LLMs have/will become "materials and methods" and we should treat them and their output as such.

It's #WorldBookDay (in the UK and Ireland, at least) 📚
Love the smell of new or old books? Here's the chemical explanation for what you're smelling!

A good thing about having a sports watch is that it helps you become aware of the negative effects of evening #alcohol consumption 
by disrupting your #sleep 
( https://runningwithrock.com/garmin-body-battery-hungover/ ). Despite being a sedative substance (making you fall asleep sooner), it reduces the amount of quality REM sleep (associated with memory and cognition) or delays its onset during the night ( https://theconversation.com/alcohol-may-help-you-fall-asleep-faster-but-it-leads-to-a-worse-nights-rest-overall-heres-why-246841 ). Regarding athletic performance 
, it also affects many metrics such as "resting heart rate" and "heart rate variability" that, in the end, are linked to body recovery after training ( https://www.triathlete.com/nutrition/a-nutritionist-shares-what-a-month-of-no-alcohol-did-to-his-body/ ).

Guide: Switching from Conda/Mamba to Pixi. Near instant environments, better HPC compatibility and reproducibility. But really, it's the speed!
A bit of #devops ranting. I used GitHub Actions to generate public #Docker images and upload them to registries like Docker Hub. However, for a couple of weeks, GitHub-hosted runners (using Ubuntu 24.04) stopped building #arm64 images 
. To my surprise, there is no major issue with locally hosted runners besides their resource consumption inconvenience. Since I keep a simple CI/CD (trigger and crons) I was wondering whether it might be worth using act ( https://github.com/nektos/act ) instead and inspecting resulting logs with CLI tools such lnav ( https://lnav.org/ ). Of course, I could always revert to Makefile or Shell scripts 
.

How does the hype surrounding #deepseek reflect the AI industry, national strategies, and hidden human costs? In our new DiPLab policy memo, we offer tools for navigating inflated claims from tech giants, unaccountable governments, and ambitious startups. The document, co-authored by Yours Truly, @TLeBonniec, and @JulianPosada includes background, analysis of the documentation made accessible by the company, and policy recommendations. https://diplab.eu/diplab-releases-first-policy-memo-the-human-cost-of-deepseek/

El problema no es l'#algorisme que et reordena o et destaca el contingut. El problema és la intencionalitat que té.
I si en comptes d'intentar que quedessin enganxats el màxim temps possible, et proposes contingut que et connectes amb gent d'interessos similars, resolent problemes o senzillament divertir-te una estona mentre esperes el bus.
En aquesta xerrada de demà del #FOSDEM sembla que en parlaran.

Al final me ha dado por mirar lo del AT protocol de BlueSky para entender las diferencias, la problemática y sobre todo, porqué ese grupúsculo que promociona #FreeOurFeeds necesita 30 millones de dólares.
Voy a ver si soy capaz de explicarlo con un ejemplo sencillo... o me lio y acabo pareciendo una alucinación de ChatGPT.
ActivityPub, el protocolo que usa Mastodon o Pixelfed está pensado para conectar "edificios".

I'm starting a set of blog posts focused on #selfhosting adventure. It's focused on #onsite hosting and will recommend #EU based providers/services.
I'm based in #Spain, so some providers are from here.
The first post is just an overview and focuses on #internet connection and #port #forwarding.
Later I'll focus on #domain setup, #hardware and finally on @yunohost apps and services :)
Happy to get feedback!
