Federation is when two servers agree to share information using the same protocol. The best example of this is email. Different providers can send emails in the same format to different servers, regardless of whether they have the same owner because they use the same protocol. This is federation. Federation also has the plus of being able to choose which servers you want to share information with.

You're probably right that one instance isn't federated, or another option is that one server has an older record of a post than another and hasn't been updated yet for some reason.

    I had a lady at a coffee shop tell me about how the California fires are created by nuclear powered space lasers the US sold to China that they're now using for climate terrorism against the US.

    She also told me that her grandma had Obama's birth certificate.

    People are... interesting.

    Years ago, I thought Linux was for nerds(which it is) and performed badly and was hard to use. Now I haven't used Windows as a daily driver in 5+ years and every time I have to use someone else's non Linux machine, it feels like an ancient machine with absolutely no character to it.

    Smooth breath

    I beset from your bated breath

    Unless the stress that's given to me clear

    Resides unfound and unclear

    The key to my restitution lies in recognition

    Opaque and sticky, defiance. Then remission

    Upset and overreliant on bad positions

    The lever's balance is set on a dud pivot

    Problems unseen stay while shit thickens

    While the root is left untapped

    The branch kindles

     

    When the words barely whisper

    And the songs known forgotten

    When the seldom well wished

    And a stone throw's the bottom

    When the once well trodden

    Is soiled down and sodden

    Accept the well wishes of ones who once wished

    And song without a singer like food without dish

    And sing those well wishes to your brother on a lake

    Stoning throws, hitting water, showing off for the sake

    Best fuzzing tool (programming.dev)
     

    I'm trying to find a good fuzzing tool for testing my web applications and was wondering what people would recommend. I'm trying to find one that is open source, free, and doesn't use proprietary stuff. It seems like Google's OSSFuzz is the closest option to what I'm looking for, but it uses Google cloud :/
