@adelgadoAntonio J. Delgado On Linux, it's ZFS or ext4 all the way for me. ZFS for its data integrity guarantees, and ext4 because it's the tried-and-true workhorse file system which just keeps trugging along. You don't get all the fancy features (I *love* ZFS snapshots), but you know what you get and it isn't random corruption just because the system lost power or whatever.
Oh, and for Linux ext4, I suggest setting data=journal if you don't have reason to leave it at the default data=ordered. This is a per-file-system, maybe per-mount, setting. https://michael.kjorling.se/blog/2024/ext4-defaulting-to-data-ordered/
Goodbye, Cavities? Scientists Just Found a Way to Regrow Tooth Enamel
Scientists at the University of Nottingham have developed a new protein-based gel that can restore tooth enamel by mimicking the body’s natural growth processes.
A newly developed material has been used to create a gel capable of repairing and rebuilding tooth enamel, offering a potential breakthrough in both preventive and restorative dental care.

I am still at a point where I feel like this is irrational catastrophizing, but not, like, completely: every time I open Feedback Assistant now, I think, "if I submit a sysdiagnose along with this feedback, will the information it contains be used to imprison or kill me or a politically active member of my family"? It's a question I wish that journalists would ask Cook.

Also, nostalgia is nostalgia. It's easy to wipe out all the awful things in the process, or turn them into something you find charming.
One thing about the Attention K-Mart Shoppers tapes is the GOD-AWFUL new sitcoms they'd announce. They're so terrible! And partly because they're terrible but *distant*, they're kind of fun now.
But I would have groaned so hard suffering through them back when they originally came out, of course.

New, from me: The Cloudflare Outage May Be a Security Roadmap
An intermittent outage at Cloudflare on Tuesday briefly knocked many of the Internet’s top destinations offline. Some affected Cloudflare customers were able to pivot away from the platform temporarily so that visitors could still access their websites. But security experts say doing so may have also triggered an impromptu network penetration test for organizations that have come to rely on Cloudflare to block many types of abusive and malicious traffic.
https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/11/the-cloudflare-outage-may-be-a-security-roadmap/
cloudflare themselves get it: blog.cloudflare.com/18-november-...
writing their code differently is only one of four steps here. because this kind of mistake should not be able to cause this much damage. that's approaching problems in a systematic way rather than via band-aids

Too Much or Too Little Sleep Linked to Elevated Heart Risks in People Free From Disease
People who clock six to seven hours of sleep a night had the lowest chance of dying from a heart attack or stroke when compared with those who got less or more sleep, according to a study.

GenAI has stolen so much from me.
@Em0nM4stodonEm 
Agree. What has been aggravating me lately is that coworkers have been recording meeting transcripts, running them through an AI tool to summarize, and then posting the summary to others within our company.
The AI summary often gets it wrong. It will also claim that people in the meetings said things that they didn't. It has caused issues when someone reads the summary and goes to accuse the person who supposedly said the thing. "But so-and-so said we need to do this!" 😖 I'm so frustrated having my name presented next to things I never said, and then having to go through that conversation.

Tim Cook Among Attendees of Last Night’s Black-Tie White House Dinner Honoring Journalist-Murdering Tyrant Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia

v1.110 is live! We’ve expanded post-reporting options from 5 → 39. This gives you more precise ways to flag issues and strengthens the signals our safety systems rely on. Clearer reports mean better moderation and higher-quality conversations across Bluesky. Learn more: bsky.social/about/blog/1...
More generally, I do think OKRs / measure-what-matters has cooked peoples' brains to the point that folks can claim things — with a straight face, even! — like that AI adoption proves that ordinary users demand AI.
Three critiques of OKRs / MWM:
1. The ease with which something is measured is not the same as the importance of measuring it.
2. Placing incentives on measurements ruins the empirical value of that measurement.
3. You will never have perfect data, and must reason in uncertainty.
Numbers are a kind of magic trick for our brains, they make things feel way more concrete and certain than they necessarily are. That doesn't make numbers or empiricism more generally useless, it means it's hard work to do empiricism *correctly*, and that bad empiricism can be as bad as not doing any empirical reasoning at all.
