갑자기 오타쿠 깊생 네임버스 세계관 속 무성애 무낭만에게 네임이 생기면 어떻게 될까? 거기다 쌍방이면...? 개인적으로는 오 공짜 타투. 이러고 끝일 것 같다만 쌍방이면 개큰불행 시작이겠지

The Trouble with Ancient DNA: Telling Stories of the Past with Genomic Science by Anna Källén, 2025

A thoughtful consideration of the storytelling and science behind ancient DNA discoveries.

In The Trouble with Ancient DNA, Anna Källén explores how the parameters of genetic science influence the stories we tell about our ancient ancestors, questioning what narratives we can and should take at face value.




Through accounts of migrations, warriors, and figures like Cheddar Man, we see enticing and potent narratives that reach far beyond what can be gathered from the scientific study of molecules alone.

I wonder what the biggest "complexity letdown" has been in science, where something with a ton of complex theories turns out to be an extremely simple phenomenon. Like e.g. scientists studying attention are like "its a complex multisystem phenomenon that needs to carefully balance..." And it turns out like "no attention is based on attention juice, which is synthesized by the attention juicer, and when you run out of it you can't pay attention anymore"

Back in the early days of GitHub, git over ssh was terminated by a hacked OpenSSH which looked up public keys for the git user in MySQL rather than from an authorized_keys file. That OpenSSH was the system sshd on the same frontend web servers which ran the Rails app, so if you were staff you could get a shell on a random frontend by typing `ssh github.com` and you were straight in

How Intolerance and Extremism Happen:
Understanding our Deepest Divides

Demagogues and dictators (a subset of demagogues) frequently lead extremist movements. They often enjoy widespread popular support. One reason is that they claim to (or do) solve a problem that appears unsolvable. If problems don’t exist, ruthless dictators or demagogues create them so that they can position themselves as the only viable solution.

as a hobby i hacked vulkan blender 5.0 alpha to "run" on rk3588/panvk again, but it always crashes the GPU after a while. similar how it crashes turnip (adreno), but there it takes down the whole desktop. i wonder how this works, but i don't know enough about vulkan and blender's render pipeline. yet.

Just need to scream a little bit about how there are actually hard limits to how much stuff we can have in orbit without severe consequences! It's ok to say that out loud, even if the techbros don't want to hear it!

It's ok (and vitally important) to have in your list of recommendations for satellites operators "Don't launch so many satellites." This is really pretty key to not destroying the night sky, LEO, and/or the atmosphere.

What Brings People to FreeBSD?

Recent comments on our community post showed just how diverse the paths into FreeBSD can be. Some users have been running FreeBSD since the 1990s for its stability and predictable behavior. Others found it through TrueNAS, books, mentors, user groups, or simply curiosity.

Thank you to everyone who shared their experience. These stories help newcomers see the many ways FreeBSD supports real-world work.

The af-to in #OpenBSD #PF is so flexible that it allows you to host IPv4 services within a #IPv6 only network, only requiring dual-stack on the firewall/router. The 'pass' rule even allows for selective port decisions on where the IPv4 address might be used for other IPv4 only services #BSD:

pass in on $ext_if inet proto tcp to (egress:0) port 12345 af-to inet6 from 2001:db8:dead:beef::1 to 2001:db8:dead:beef::/96 port ssh
