Unexpected failure - our tests are designed to fail when unusual results are observed. This usually happens when there are multiple TLS servers behind the same IP address. In such cases we can't provide accurate results, which is why we fail.
It seems that most times a trusted certificate is provided, sometimes an untrusted certificate, sometimes no certificate.

I see. I guess not a big deal for Diana which seems to just keep retrying :) but not great for sending links to identi.ca people are meant to click on.
The server is having grief, then?
I can't follow people on other servers anymore, if I want to log in to a remote account I get this:

FWIW, following people from other servers from a client works as usual.

Just noticed that purei.sm is crowdfunding again https://www.crowdsupply.com/purism/librem-13
Have they addressed any of the criticism they got previously for claiming they were shipping a free laptop but actually a bunch of blobs that absolutely would not be fixed? I imagine the answer is going to be no, but then skimming https://puri.sm/faq/ says they're using Trisquel and https://puri.sm/posts/roadmap-to-a-completely-free-bios/ with https://puri.sm/road-to-fsf-ryf-endorsement-and-beyond/ might indicate a good faith effort. What's the case? #lazyweb
Also https://puri.sm/philosophy/purisms-free-software-for-freedom-margin-share-program/ potentially interesting if they do it and publish all the data.

One (small) thing I have to praise them for is the option of a Dvorak mapping.
From the description it looks like Linux Luddites #49 will be at least a little bit about RISC-V. That's very interesting too, in addition to opinions on Librem. Queued up.
Regarding that blog post by Alexandru Gagniuc vs the interview with Ron Minnich, I'll be interested to hear if anything has changed in half a year, or if they just have differing analyses of the situation.
@lxoliva yes I've seen that post, should have linked to it after criticism above. My lazy question is whether they've made any progress since.
Unfortunately the podcast doesn't give any specifics, just Minnich saying he felt better after recently talking to one of the puri.sm people (maybe slightly more info than that, I'd have to listen again).
RISC-V is indeed super exciting. They don't talk long about it in the podcast but there's lots available about it including some materials from recent http://riscv.org/workshop-jun2015.html -

But I really want to learn how advanced SEO helped an SEO guru find 40 new SEO models which helped SEO agency clients find 1600 new clients. And how advanced SEO helped an SEO trainer find 40 new wannabe SEO gurus find 1600 new SEO models which helped SEO agency clients find 64000 new clients. And...

Comments in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10042469 especially https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10043095Hello, I'm the Daala tech lead.One of the things that made Opus a success was the contributions of others. We certainly don't have a monopoly on good ideas. We'll take pieces of Daala and stick them in Thor and pieces of Thor and stick them in Daala, and figure out what works best. Some of that experimentation has already begun:https://github.com/cisco/thor/pull/8https://review.xiph.org/874/https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/93/slides/slides-93-netvc-5...Because none of us have a financial incentive to get our patents into the standard, we're happy to pick whatever technology works best, as long as we end up with a great codec at the end. Hopefully NETVC can replicate the success of Opus this way.

I was goaded by the content translation tool linked on the Wikipedia sitebar to create https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derecho_de_autor_en_Turqu%C3%ADa 99% autotranslated by Apertium. How bad is it? :)
This after adding a brief history section to the English article, this after reading http://www.christopherdebellaigue.com/s/Elshakry-PDF.pdf (review of "Reading Darwin in Arabic", author self-archive of NYRB paywall version) which is interesting throughout but see a few key paragraphs which would stimulate wondering about Ottoman copyright.
BTW the content translation experience seems pretty good. If I knew a non-English language with English-thatlanguage pair supported by Apertium better (I've tried a couple times in life with Spanish, but I probably don't know much better than living-in-California-osmosis at this point) I would probably translate a ton of articles.
