#diaspora service at poddery.com will be shut down after we ran it for 12 years. Joe Bivins ran it before we took over maintenance in 2013. It was one of the earliest diaspora pods. https://codema.in/d/Cg3RqOWk/shutting-down-poddery-s-diaspora-service-on-15th-jan-2026 Both #xmpp and #matrix services, which shared the diaspora accounts will continue operating for now. Thanks to everyone who helped maintain it till now. Even though diaspora failed to get the adoption we hoped for, #mastodon is continuing the fight for #federated social media.
durare. org is now listed in #XMPP providers website!

 Reminded about this issue in a recent discussion around new challenges to #FreeSoftware like #AWS in #FSCI #OpenSource
#FreeSoftware versions of Vagrant is no longer maintained. Vagrant was one of the methods we suggested when people are learning #debian #packaging. I liked the way of sharing a Vagrantfile when doing a workshop for many people. As I was preparing for another packaging workshop for #MiniDebConf at Navi Mumbai, I gave Incant a try. It is a replacement for Vagrantfile like declaration of machines and uses #Incus as its backend.
