bert hubert 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦<p>So I didn't know, but Europe already has a backup of PubMed, the database of biomedical research publications. The US PubMed broke down over the weekend.

The Wagner Group has used infrastructure of the Russian Armed Forces. Evidence suggests that Wagner has been used as a proxy by the Russian government, allowing it to have plausible deniability for military operations abroad, and hiding the true casualties of Russia's foreign interventions.</p><p>"The group emerged during the war in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Donbas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Donbas</span></a>, where it helped Russian separatist forces in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> from 2014 to 2015. Wagner played a significant role in the later full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, for which it recruited Russian prison <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/inmates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inmates</span></a> for frontline combat. By the end of 2022, its strength in Ukraine had grown from 1,000 to between 20,000 and 50,000. It was reportedly Russia's main assault force in the Battle of Bakhmut. Wagner has also supported regimes friendly with Russia, including in the civil wars in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Syria</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Libya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Libya</span></a>, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CentralAfricanRepublic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CentralAfricanRepublic</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mali" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mali</span></a>.

MSavoritias<p>The things that I work on have not changed much for December Adventure so its going to be the same things that I usually work on, but now they are going to be shared :) The projects I work on currently are around Scheme/Guile, Guix and XMPP.</p><p>An intro since its the first post and I haven't announced my project really:<br>I have worked for about a year on my Networks of Consent XMPP app built on top of Spritely with Gnunet as transport and with Permacomputing Principles. Majority of work on this is writing standards (XEPs) to make XMPP work on top of a different model than it currently has. (Distributed, content-addressed, object capability based, Multicast, Pull not push architecture as some examples). Last few months development has picked up by a lot so that is a big part of what I am working on now.</p><p>Last few days I finished a XEP draft of how OCapN would work on top of XMPP. You can find it here <br><a href="https://codeberg.org/Applesauce/Guile_XMPP/src/branch/main/Documentation/XEPs/OCapN.md" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">codeberg.org/Applesauce/Guile_</span><span class="invisible">XMPP/src/branch/main/Documentation/XEPs/OCapN.md</span></a><br>Next steps would be writing the code so that Semantic XMPP, Framing and ERIS can be started to be added on top.
