I will probably use that as a more personal account, I'll move the Pleroma account on there

New addition to the Ben Brown Society for the Preservation of Max Headroom:
"Max Headroom Incident" trading cards from "G.A.S." which makes trading cards of random pop culture things.
What’s it like living in Minneapolis / St. Paul right now?
This weekend, ICE abducted two people straight out of a car near where I live. Just straight up stopped the car and took them.
I found out because neighbors were trying to figure out what to do with the car, which ICE just left there blocking the street.

anyone got experience using deguassing wands, such as the one pictured, on CRTs that don't have built-in degaussing coils? do they work? any sage advice from arcade & retro tech enthusiasts?
the little 4-inch CRTs we used in the infopoints at EMF Camp have some nonlinear warping that isn't corrected by tweaking the deflection oscillator amplitude/phase adjustment pots, and also isn't consistent with the tube curvature, so I'm suspicious of static magnetic fields.
I've been working on a tricky problem in Optique (my CLI parser library): how do you make one option's value affect another option's validation and shell completion?
Think git -C <path> branch --delete <TAB>—the branch completions should come from the repo at <path>, not the current directory.
I think I've found a solution that fits naturally with Optique's architecture: declare dependencies between value parsers, then topologically sort them at parse time.
leyrer
const cwdString = dependency(string());
const parser = object({
cwd: optional(option("-C", cwdString)),
branches: multiple(argument(
cwdString.derive({
metavar: "BRANCH",
factory: dir => gitBranch({ dir }),
defaultValue: () => process.cwd(),
})
)),
});Details in the issue:

I'm not going to link to the domain, but I'm resizing/upgrading our database to deal with the uptick in traffic on Django Packages.
I also put the website in bot fight mode for a while.
It'll be back up soon.

Tried to use Google to find an old page on my web site, using the 'site:' qualifier. It returned no hits.
Given the amount of search engine traffic I see in the logs, that isn't Google, maybe they've just given up trying to index the web?

@stuxstux⚡ is correct: they are noobs, and they will not hide from consequences.
They will, however, get one of themselves killed — which is exactly what their bosses’ bosses want.

#hypernormalization is a powerful obstacle.
@verbraucherzentrale_sh Klar! Alle Akteure können die vielen verschiedenen social Media-Kanäle nur im Rahmen ihrer Ressourcen bespielen. Und ich finde es aus verschiedenen Gründen auch legitim, wenn man nicht komplett #FediFirst oder #FediOnly geht. Aber wenigstens eine +1-Strategie muss doch möglich sein. Gerade, wenn es um #Verbraucherschutz gehen soll! Und erst recht, wenn man sich aus öffentlichen Zuwendungen finanziert!
@verbraucherzentrale_sh Drüben bei @gerichteSH müssen wir auch öfter einmal einzelne Projekte mangels verfügbarer Arbeitskraft auf Halde legen. Aber wir kämen NIE (!) auf die Idee, die Arbeit auf Mastodon zugunsten anderer Netzwerke auszusetzen.
The frogs are already boiling.
Or are we just going to let the bosses steal and degrade our jobs, pocket the automation dividend *and* keep us occupied with full-time bullshit drudgery
The sunrise combined with the freezing cold was actually quite pretty this morning.

Spent this whole day digging through my main 2Tb data hard drive. It's virtually an Augean stables: years upon years of sloppy backups with duplicates upon duplicates upon duplicates. Backups with backups inside of backups. Cultural layers that allegedly ascend to Cro-Magnon times, but dating is fuzzy in some cases.
Deleted 1Tb of excessive data. Duplicates, movies, TV shows (almost 200Gb of The Big Bang Theory).
Thousands of books that I collected "because I might need them". I figured that I probably won't need books I never even knew I have for the last 10 years. Music albums I never listened.
Now there's some semblance of order. And huge 2Tb chunk of data that felt like burden (for example, I have to choose OS that is able to work with this particular file system and do it well, because I don't have enough spare space to maneuver with this big data chunk) now feels lighter and manageable.
I asked myself how much data I really need? What is is essential and what I just happen to keep for years? Turns out I don't really need that much data. Even in case of digital apocalypse I won't be able to read these thousands of books and won't watch these movies I didn't really like in the first place.
