Meine gern getragene Jeansjacke hat langsam aber sicher jede Farbe verloren. Man könnte sie wegwerfen oder man färbt sie nochmal neu.
Nach dem Färben fiel mir auf, dass die Stöße ganz abgenutzt waren und es einige sehr dünne Stellen gab. Meine Chance, visible mending auszuprobieren! 😁
Es wird ein Langzeitprojekt, aber bis hierhin mag ich es. Und ja, bunt und kindisch. Aber ich brauch das gerade. 🫠

“Evaluating The Effects Of Anycast On DNS Root Nameservers”: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-393/
some interesting statistics for (among other things) reliability of stateful (TCP) connections on anycast nodes, specifically in the context of DNS.
it is from 2006, so i wonder how numbers have changed in the mean time.
thanks, usbguard documentation, this is exactly what i was looking for in the way of job security
Setting up the first part of the second network cabinet at the new 40k sq/ft warehouse today. (Just the essentials to get a few desktops up, and setup outgoing network connections for them; did the cameras previously).
nuintari's rules of networking 0x62:
When you move infrastructure to the cloud, you remove the necessity of repairing much of it if and when it fails.
That's good!
You also lose the ability to repair most of it when it fails.
That's bad.
You also lose an enormous amount of visibility into said failures.
...
That's bad.

I have moved my mastodon account from fosstodon.org to floss.social. I want to make the reason I have done this crystal clear.
There is a person on the moderation team at fosstodon.org that goes by the name carrotcypher. This person appears to have posted concerning views on reddit multiple times, which you can see detailed here: https://floss.social/@lo__@mastodon.social/114370692794472318

How to achieve Ultimate developer skills:
Step 1. Humble yourself by starting with the raw, unforgiving power of C.
Step 2. Attempt to purify your soul and memory safety by rewriting it all in Rust.
Step 3. Ascend to a higher plane of functional enlightenment (or utter confusion) by rewriting it again in Haskell.
Step 4. Congratulations! You are now Ultimate developer. Your code is perfect and immutable, and absolutely no one else on your team will understand a single line of it.

This is a _very_ cool project that just landed on 
@crowdsupply. Had I not been laid off last week (hire me! #GetFediHired) I'd definitely order one.

Slippery slop is when you train AI models on the output of other AI models
@xezpeletaXabi yes, using a local LLM works with datasette-extract already
I'd suggest using Ollama to run a model like Gemma 3 or Mistral Small 3.1 (though others could work well too) - with the llm-ollama plugin installed datasette-extract should work fine
I don't know of any local models that handle PDFs in Ollama yet but plenty of them can handle images
if someone disagrees with your* (correct, of course) take, it does not mean they: - are evil - desire the full resulting conclusions of their beliefs - have fully expressed all their thinking - have disqualified themselves from the conversation *does not apply to me or my opinions

@forgejo doesn’t just replace GitHub for hosting — it can even run GitHub Actions (née Microsoft® Azure® Pipelines) right out of the box?
The first
