Stephen Stapczynski, Anna Shiryaevskaya, & Faseeh Mangi, "Europe’s Energy Crunch Will Trigger Years of Shortages and Blackouts" https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-08/eu-energy-crisis-sparked-by-ukraine-war-to-create-blackouts-in-poor-countries
« The center of the issue is Europe’s response to tightening fuel supplies and the war in Ukraine. Cut off from Russian gas, European countries have turned to the spot market, where energy that isn’t committed to buyers is made available for short-notice delivery. With prices soaring, some suppliers to South Asia have simply canceled long-scheduled deliveries in favor of better yields elsewhere, traders say.
“Suppliers don’t need to focus on securing their LNG to low affordability markets,” Raghav Mathur, an analyst at Wood Mackenzie Ltd. said. The higher prices they can get on the spot market more than make up for whatever penalties they might pay for shirking planned shipments. And that dynamic is likely to hold for years, Mathur says. [...]
Usually when there’s a short-term shortage, nations can sign long-term supply contracts, paying a fixed rate for the assurance of reliable deliveries for years. That hasn’t worked this time. Even bids for deliveries starting years into the future are being rejected. »

What do you mean by "the U.S. doesn't call Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan (or wars sometimes)"?
Anyway, the U.S. glorifies its wars as Russia and the former USSR do/did. My point is that only when empires (or wannabe empires) were decisively beaten by foreign military forces did the megalomaniacal sense of destiny and superiority vanish. Japam, the UK, France, Spain, from its ambitions even Geermany, all turned "moderate" and gave up their sense of "being the fate of the world". The US has never been beaten that decisively. And Russia, although probably being beaten, will not be beaten on its own soil and will spin its defeat in the sense it always does: Being a grand nation, but always being subdued by foreign nations that want to prevent Russia from its place. It's a centuries-old paranoia. -

Perhaps ask your admin for help? May be a glitch in libranet. -

@gnu2 @simsa04 Please, try to join again and tell me when you do, so I can check logs (the ones from yesterday are really confusing). -

@simsa04 Ok, this is funny (to me, at least): besides the lack of remote servers repeat notifications (by GS design, and I agree with you they should exist), repeats should not appear in your timeline.
When user A repeats a notice from user B, user A is sending his/her list of followers that particular notice. I don't think it makes sense for the notice to appear again (twice, three or more times) in user B timeline.
But then again, Gs magic: due to a bug (already reported), notices of one Gs node wich are repeated from another Gs node indeed appear twice (or three, or more times) in the original poster server.
Check your original post at https://gnusocial.net/url/12171096 Then, I've repeated it from another Gs server, and there you go: https://gnusocial.net/url/12171097 -

@simsa04 Ah, ok, I meant that, even using the same protocol (AP), different implementations can (and do) create incompatibilities.
For example, the mentioned patch to fix Misskey federation changes how LRDD and Webfinger work in Gnusocial, making it more compatible with Misskey.
Besides the oficial AP docs, (too technical for me), I'm afraid I haven't seen any blog post explaining all this; technical info about Gs is scarce. -

Nah, I'm asking for blog posts etc explaining what, other then th eprotocol, is needed for federation. You said above that using the same protocol is not enough to ensure federation, so I suppose that (beside instance- / user-blocks) "more" is involved. I was curious about the "more". -

Well: Repeats from the aforementioned servers never appear in my TL. And I never get any email notification (but I guess that is supposed to be so). When notices of other people appear in my TL it's always because someone I subscribe to replies to these. -

@simsa04 Maybe it is clearer this way: you don't get *notifications* from repeats from external servers, but repeats happen. -

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/109300967725833789
So @Gargron calls "network" the network of mastodon running servers, that is, a subset of the #fediverse, not the fediverse as a whole. Good to know. And no wonder the media got confused and equates both. Yokel! -

I never receive repeats from mastodon and pleroma instances or from gnusocial instances other than our instance. -

@simsa04 *Notifications* from repeats don't arrive, but they certainly federate. -

I have no idea.
Tags seem sometimes to collect their counterparts from other instances but most often they don't. (Which has the unintended benefit that they can be used as bookmarks.)
Repeats are never federated, neither from other gnusocial instances nor from mastodon-, pleroma-, friendica- or otherwise run instances. -

@simsa04 Sorry, I'm not sure if I understand. You're asking about what protocols are needed for federation? -

I'm not happy rolling myself in doom and gloom, but with Russia and its centuries of brutalised treatment of its populace that makes it prone to a glorification of brutality and abuse I cannot see any other prospect. The best example seems to me the glorification of the Stalin era of the past 30 years. Every family suffered under the Stalin terror but at least the suffering brought meaning so that sacrifices cannot be allowed to have been in vain. This pathology in vast parts of the Russian society glorifies brutality and suffering and sees defeat only as temporary. I indeed think that a defeat in the Ukrainian war (should there be one), esp. without any chances of a deep change in society and politcs, will reinforce the authoritarian habits. That is: Russia will continue on its path. -

Good to know. Can you point me to sources explaining to me in simple terms what needs to be added that things federate? Just out of curiosity and not to burden your time with long explanations...
