I’m trying to add my instance to Fediseer at https://gui.fediseer.com/auth/claim-instance so it can federate.

When I try to send the message, I get an error saying: There was an api error: API Key PM failed

I’m not really sure how to diagnose something like this, but I tried sudo docker logs [ID of nginx container] and one of the entries says "POST /inbox HTTP/1.1" 400 86 "-" "Fediseer/0.25.1" after I try sending the message.

I’m assuming this has something to do with it, but I’m not sure if that’s true or how to fix it even if it is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The US air force will provide military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt, the rioter fatally shot during the January 6 Capitol attack, marking another step in Donald Trump’s aggressive rehabilitation of the attack.

The under secretary of the air force, Matthew Lohmeier, confirmed the decision in an August letter to Babbitt’s family. The Biden administration previously denied Babbitt the honors, but Lohmeier said he was “persuaded that the previous determination was incorrect” after reviewing new information about her death.

Babbitt, 35, served in the air force and air national guard and was shot by Capitol Hill police as she climbed through a barricaded door near the House chamber in the mass frenzy to overthrow the results of the 2020 election. The air force had originally refused honors in February 2021, according to Lohmeier’s letter, saying they would “bring discredit upon the Air Force” due to the circumstances of her death. She was the only person killed by gunfire during the riot.

Deforestation has killed more than half a million people in the tropics over the past two decades as a result of heat-related illness, a study has found.

Land clearance is raising the temperature in the rainforests of the Amazon, Congo and south-east Asia because it reduces shade, diminishes rainfall and increases the risk of fire, the authors of the paper found.

Deforestation is responsible for more than a third of the warming experienced by people living in the affected regions, which is on top of the effect of global climate disruption.

Do you wear glasses? Do you find them attractive on yourself or others?

“The force of the impact snaps his head backwards causing him to fall backward onto the ground,” plaintiffs wrote in their trial brief. “He is unarmed, is not engaged in any violent or assaultive conduct.”

The complaint said the projectile “traveled up his nasal cavity, where it remained lodged for almost an entire year, until it was surgically removed,” causing Gluck permanent disfiguring injuries, traumatic brain injury and other lasting consequences.

After a bad water infiltration issue, I started investigating around the main problem area in our machine room. There was what appeared to be a long surface crack which ended up being a diagonal crack right through the 6" slab. It extends under a wall on top of which (I believe) rests our staircase.

My idea was to temporarily cut the bottom plate so I could open the crack (concrete saw and/or jackhammer) and pour new concrete, but there's a stud right on top of the crack. Any ideas how to best approach this?

EDIT FOR CONTEXT: Foundation was piered/piled 6 years ago. This was the corner that had dropped the most. It's not moving anymore. The company doind the work told us the crack was superficial and they weren't worried about it... 😮‍💨

A senior Israeli official accused of child sex crimes in the United States has failed to appear for a scheduled court hearing in his case, weeks after he returned to Israel, prompting concerns that he may have fled to avoid facing trial.

The Israeli official was arrested on August 6, but the incident was not made public until more than a week later, when the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department announced an undercover operation “targeting child sex predators”.

Alexandrovich was released and allowed to return to Israel after being charged with luring or attempting to lure a child online to engage in sexual conduct.
