In Austria (maybe among other places), something - let's say a field of study - that is deemed to have litle to no economic value is often labelled "orchid".
Of course, capitalism cannot appreciate something for just being beautiful (or interesting). If it cannot be commodified, it must be worthless.
Although the label is meant derogatory, I like the symbolism. Because appreciating something like beauty for its own sake, without needing it to have value, is a pretty anti-capitalistic message.
Wishing every creature attending #39c3 a safe trip and a great time.
Rust people: anyone know if there's any consensus on which yaml/serde_yaml crate is good after all the recent confusion?

As you might expect, Tesla claims that their FSD system remained fully functional during the massive blackout, but entrusting control to machines rather than humans in such situations seems far more dangerous.

I couldn't understand Waymo's actions during the massive blackout, but I realized this was the best way. In such chaotic circumstances, it seems staying put is the way to minimize harm rather than having the car move and potentially cause an accident.

Uncovered some of my childhood model train sets and my daughter is loving it (2y). It's a totally unique feeling watching my own child play with a set of toys I played with when I was only a little older than her, too. She's been so good about being gentle with them, too.
For anyone who needs a puffin in their life today.

has bullying the EU Commission's Mastodon account changed anything ever? like they pretty much only post shit that makes people angry here and don't really ever seem to engage (and if they did wouldn't you just be engaging with a random intern ?), so I sorta fail to see the point other then the shitpost factor...

[小橘書成為檢驗藍白草化的社會試劑 - 台灣放送](https://www.telltaiwan.org/19833)
"藍白的草化其實就是中國的紅衛兵化，紅衛兵就是一切都去專業化、去脈絡化，只剩下自己的主觀感覺跟邪教教主丟下來的指令。他們嘲笑與輕視一切正經、嚴肅、合理與經過深思熟慮與人類經驗累積的事情，所以客觀的道理與人類啟蒙的知識對這些已經草化的人是沒用的，他們需要主人的鞭子更甚於理性的思考。
而我一開始也以為小橘書只是一本再平常不過的全民安全指引手冊而已，現在卻也成了檢驗藍白草化的社會試劑，這還真的是出乎我的意料之外。"

fucking bluesky openwashing
if bsky/atproto isn't fashtech, it works just like fashtech
(y'know apart from the bit where bsky corp is literally rationalists, coiners and neoreactionaries)
so they do a lot of openwashing theatre. they never shut the fuck up about how open and decentralised they are.
while in practice being 99.99+% one single fucking app run by one company
with an "open" protocol they're making up as they go along
that just happens to have a fuckload of central control points, over and over
blacksky sets up an entire separate infra! bluesky bans a blacksky user. whoops they're banned on blacksky too
shit like that that shows the whole thing as a lie, and these fucks keep saying "decentralised"
everything that works well about bsky works well precisely insofar as it's a single instance.
the promise of atproto is the fediverse but shit.
it's been two and a half fuckin years. jesus.

I am trying out Helium browser (a new ungoogled chromium fork) and I need a new extension to translate whole websites inline to english. Searching (https://chromewebstore.google.com/search/translate) leads to a lot of them but no way to filter thru to figure out which ones are legit and which are datamining ops. Any recommendations?

鍾意同做各行各業嘅人做朋友，因為總可以知道自己接觸唔到嘅事。
朋友最近新入職幫某大拍賣行工作，無耐就親身見證咗一單市值兩億港元嘅買賣，唔知買家身分，只知透過電話成交，成件事唔需要邊一個人落足嘴頭力sell，對方買嘢爽快到好似落街買棵葱。
我：貧窮限制我想像，對我嚟講打電話使錢最熟嗰樣叫買六合彩。
佢：兩億呀，即係金多寶都分分鐘要贏十次。

A project from the future and fantastic readme to boot at https://github.com/dnr/styx
It's essentially a layer of the nix package manager that uses linux userspace file-system mechanisms (but not FUSE) to download data on demand as they're read. As in at posix read time.
And not whole files, mind you, but chunks of files. I.e. segments of a file that are common across others will be deduplicated on disk. Not only that but large files can be partially downloaded as needed.
For example, I rarely use most of the fonts bundled in the widely used google noto fonts package which is above 1GiB on disk right now with the version I'm using. A lot LLM related packages like the cuda family and ollama are pretty big as they tend to bundle together code for each hardware/architecture that they support in one package.
On the other hand, nixos upgrades tend to leave lots of versions of the same package in the store. This is such a big issue that I'm usually forced to "garbage collect" the store or update flakes of unrelated projects in lock-step to benefit from version dedup. The chunking aspect would help here a lot as for most packages, different versions are mostly identical chunkwise.
Hearsay against #IPFS has me suspicious of the metadata overhead but intuition says package management is a good usecase for this.
I was previously aware of https://github.com/containers/composefs-rs which tries to do something similar for OCI images but very cool to run across this despite how...early days it is.
