Denmark becomes first country in world to end letter delivery
Denmark's postal service has ended its letter delivery service after 401 years in operation.
PostNord told the ABC there has been a "major decline" in letter sending in favour of electronic means of communication.
The move makes Denmark the first country in the world to end its letter delivery service.

Running out of disk space on your Linux, macOS, BSD, or Unix-like OS? Or perhaps you're hitting the classic disk quota limits set by your sysadmin? Fear not. Run `du -sh * | sort -h` command to get a sorted list of your directory sizes so you can remove or compress unwanted files. Here is another useful shell alias:
```
alias ducks='du -cks -- * | sort -rn | head'
ducks
```

To be honest, it was extremely easy:
can01:# zfs snapshot -r zroot/bastille@toUSA
can01:# zfs send -vR zroot/bastille@toUSA|ssh root@IP "zfs receive -F zroot/bastille"
...done!

L'UE è una "colonia digitale degli Stati Uniti", ma un'italiana sta cercando di cambiare le cose, con un certo successo
Tutta l'Europa è dipendente dai prodotti e dai servizi delle aziende tecnologiche americane. Un gruppo di europei sta cercando di cambiare questa situazione. Ma come si fa a convincere 27 paesi a unirsi e a vendere qualcosa che ancora non esiste?
Today is Public Domain Day 2026 🎉
Some creative works finally become free, but copyright is not global and rules change by country:
in New Zealand Tolkien’s books have been public domain since 2024. In Europe/US we still have to wait decades 💍
It would be nice to have one single, fair copyright law:
One law to free them all,
one law to share and bind,
one law across all nations,
and leave long waits behind.

A seal pup covered with lanugo, a protective layer of fluffy hair, stained yellow with amniotic fluid. As the pup grows, its coat will become pure white, which it will then moult and gain its final coat, with a spotted pattern unique to each animal, a helpful means of identification for researchers.

Remember:
I like the term 'traumatic masculinity' more than 'toxic masculinity'.
It provides greater clarity to both cause and effect. "Toxic masculinity" doesn't snap into existence fully formed, it is caused by the traumatizing way we raise men. And its effects are that it further traumatizes - women, men, everyone.
This term also provides real guidance to what healthy masculinity looks like (tho that's not for me to figure out). What parts of masculinity are not trauma responses? Lean into those.

You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is “Never get involved in a land war in Asia.” But only slightly less well-known is this: “Never mention dissatisfaction with a Microsoft or Apple product on Mastodon if you aren’t prepared to switch to Linux!”
