The video from my FOSDEM 2025 talk on "How reproducible is NixOS?" has finally been published! (it had sound issues before).

You can find it here: https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-4430-how-reproducible-is-nixos-/

If you are interested, it is also based on a blog post: https://luj.fr/blog/is-nixos-truly-reproducible.html

Will you read, are you reading or have you read a book by Thomas Pynchon in public for Pynchon in Public Day?

My company is using Jira to manage cafeteria lunches.

To order lunch, you move a lunch "issue" on a particular day to the "orders" column and this triggers your order for lunch on this day.

I am going to order LUNCH-1139 Vegan Spaetzle.

This is so bizarre. Oh my God.

When you reply sanctimoniously to takes about how unjust education already was before AI enabled what you regard as cheating with "well I..." that just demonstrates an inability to reason about an issue without centering your own experience (and identity)

I really think TeleMessage had no clue of what they were doing.

Between the lack of transcript consistency guarantees and the deniability aspects of Signal, they were really overselling the solution they thought they were providing.

잘수 잇다..

Just to be clear, despite the political tone around the nationality of the new pope...

Pope Leo XIV is Peruvian, he was a Peruvian bishop, and was in Rome as a Peruvian Cardinal. He is a Peruvian Pope.

He has a US passport as well as a Peruvian one, but to call him American without reference to his chosen nationality and long life in Peru is to make an inaccurate political statement.

@davatron5000Dave Rupert I just moved almost everything I had on AWS to a Mac mini at my house. They’re projects that only serve me, so why not.

Cybertrucks are piling up -- apparently no one wants to buy them -- but they can't stop making them, b/c shutting the factory down is too expensive. Great work all around.

Got to meet the legendary Ron & Russell Mael of Sparks last night in Philadelphia at the Non-COMMvention.

Still innovating, still weird, still wonderful.

Lots of folks fell for the "DOM is slow" marketing of certain frameworks, but DOM isn't slow. *Uncontrolled style read-back* is. But what if that wasn't a thing?

We're doing our 25Q1 Hackday today at OEF. Everyone on our team -- designers, developers, operations, partnerships, product -- takes 24 hours to make something interesting and creative related to our mission. It can be code, a presentation, making something physical, creating a document. All self-guided, can be solo or collaborative.

Battle of the giants: Nvidia #Blackwell B200 takes the lead in FluidX3D CFD performance

#Nvidia #B200 just launched, and I'm one of the first people to benchmark 8x B200 via Shadeform, in a WhiteFiber server with 2x #Intel #Xeon6 6960P 72-core CPUs. 🖖😋

8x Nvidia B200 go head-to-head with 8x #AMD #MI300X in the #FluidX3D #CFD benchmark, winning overall (with FP16S storage) at 219300 MLUPs/s (~17TB/s combined VRAM bandwidth), but losing in FP32 & FP16C storage. 8x MI300X achieve 204924 MLUPs/s.

Prevost 成為首名來自美國的教宗，他取名「良十四世」，應該是示意自己當教宗後會受「良十三世」啟發

良十三世最著名的工作是教廷在他任內首度就勞工議題表態，認為教義要求教會關注勞工權益

因此，外界判斷，良十四世將關注勞工及其他社會公義議題，路線跟方濟各相若

不過，在同性戀、任命女性當主教等問題，良十四世以往公開的發言較方濟各保守、強硬

"Who Broke the Internet?" is a new podcast from CBC Understood that I host and co-wrote - it's a four-part series that explains how the enshitternet came about, and, more importantly, what we can do about it. Episode one is out this week:

I could save an #IBM model M #keyboard that was about to be sent to the e-waste. It is the dirtiest keyboard I have ever seen 😅 But it works and will be cleaned. It is in a good shape, too! #mechanicalkeyboard

Where #AI technosphere only dehumanises and alienates us from each other, a perfect tool for #hypercapitalism, we can instead foster the #sociosphere where inter-personal relationships may thrive online.

Let's unite and add the missing social layers of our open technology stack, and innovate social web technologies based on true human needs that exist in #society.

We can do this. In fact we already did. A handful of passionate people in the #commons created #fediverse on a dime.

We are so, extremely excited to announce that this year at #OHS2025 we will have e-textile badges made by the incredible Rodney Trusty ! For years we have been dreaming of an e-textile badge...

Have you heard? Has anyone told you? The Rumor of the Radio Wave Girl. They say she’s @KikiLaFeyKiki ⚸ LaFey and she uses this account to post #RadioFreeSociety. They also say she sells stickers of her glitch art because she's disabled and can't work. At least, that’s what they say. Everyone online is talking about it!

@jacquelinejacquelines 🌟 Woohoo my #tangara arrived today! Shown with my MNT Pocket Reform, of course.

It makes me super uncomfortable that globbing in Bash can turn into code execution. The fact that the name of a file can change the behavior of ls is scary. This also works for other commands that you tend to glob with, such as rm.

My MNT Pocket Reform was delivered today! Just starting to play with it, but this device is cute and well made. Looking forward to putting it through its paces.
