Dear everybody:

Everything is so much easier to understand, once you realize that the Gold-foil-King is a Mafioso, who only know mafioso methods, and only use mafioso methods.

The letter to the .no PM is classical mafia:

"Nice country you have there, pity if something happened to it. Better think careful about who gets those peace-prices, capisce ?"

EU needs to stop pussying around, and go full in and stand up to the bully.

If not now, when ?

The flood of #enshittification that #Broadcom unleashed upon #VMware and its customers after acquiring it, and its seismic waves in the whole IT supply chain, are a testament of how bad managers who seek for short-term revenue hikes without thinking of the long-term are a cancer, and walking ticking bombs for the tech industry.

https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/15/dell_vmware_claim_tesco_case/

We all know what Broadcom did to VMware after acquiring it. VMware was turned overnight into Broadcom’s cash cow, they hiked prices by 3x in some cases, scrapped perpetual licenses, forced all customers into more expensive subscriptions, said that they only wanted to focus on the most profitable customers and fuck everyone else, all while worsening customer support and providing literally zero added value and features to the product.

Basically a parasitic acquisition solely focused on sucking all the vital lymph out of another product - pure Oracle textbook.

When you play such stunts with individual customers, unfortunately, it works most of the times. Individuals don’t have much leverage, nor choice if there is too much concentration in a certain market. They may complain, but often they swallow the bitter bite.

Things are different when you play them in huge corporate products that are an integral part of the IT infrastructure we all use.

It turns out that among the businesses who were disgruntled when Broadcom suddenly cancelled their VMware perpetual licenses there was Tesco.

But Tesco didn’t acquire VMware licenses directly from Broadcom, of course. They acquired them through a reseller of hardware and software licenses - Computacenter. So Tesco sued them instead for failing to provide them the licenses that they were contractually bound to provide.

Computacenter, on its hand, didn’t acquire VMware licenses directly either. They were provided with the Dell servers they sold, as Dell was an authorized VMware reseller. So Computacenter sued Dell.

Dell, on its hand, says that it has no fault if Broadcom has suddenly changed VMware’s pricing model, and that they are the ones who broke contracts with the whole downstream supply chain. So Dell sued Broadcom.

And there we go. A chain of 3 lawsuits between 4 giants across the whole IT supply chain in order to call a parasitic company accountable.

What a mess. But I guess that the manager who proposed to squeeze annual recurring revenue got his/her fat quarterly bonus home after things seemed to work for the first year.

This is also your daily reminder that as a sysadmin you must use only FOSS products supported by the community and by strong foundations - and contribute back to them once their success becomes your success too.

Enough with the “but stability - but support - but licenses - but my manager” corporate bullshit.

The cost of writing your own little qemu CI/CD pipeline to spin up your virtual machines is much lower than the risk of your corporate subscription getting suddenly enshittified by chains of wrong financial incentives at any place in your upstream supply chain, and having to spend years of tears on expensive long-chain lawsuits.

And, even if things go bad, the cost of migrating out of proprietary and non-standard implementations is usually much higher than the cost of migrating to a compatible fork.

찾아보니 보라색이 음침한 느낌의 색상이 된 건
가장 어두운 색상이라서가 아니라

뜨겁고 생명을 나타내는 빨간색과
차가움을 나타내는 파란색이라는
서로 반대되는 상징이 섞인 색이라서
뇌는 보라색을 보고 애매하다고 판단하기 때문이라네요.
그래서 보라색은 속을 알 수 없는 캐릭터의 색으로 쓰이기도 하고,

또 보라색 자체가 자연에서 보기 드문 색이라서
독버섯이나 멍든 피부 같은 걸로 떠올리는
위험한 색깔로서 뇌가 인지하기 때문에
빌런 캐릭터의 색깔로 자주 채택이 된답니다.

5년전쯤 하스켈 학교 디코에 들어가서 이게 왠 신세계인가 했다. 혼자서 하스켈과 1~2년 씨름하다 지쳐갈 무렵 하스켈 학교 디스코드를 알게 됐다. 신나게 질문하고 많이 배웠다. 어떤 주제들은 너무 잘못된 방향으로 가면서 질문을 하다 핀잔도 듣곤 했지만, 혼자 끙끙 되던 때와 비교도 안되게 진도도 나가고, 좋은 선생님, 동급생(비슷한 진도의 사람들)들도 알게 되고, 신나게 새벽까지 디코에서 질문 날리고 공부했다. 아니 놀았다.

그 전에는 좋아하는 주제로 모인 커뮤니티에 속해 본적이 없었다. 지금은 다른 디코 서버에서 서식하고 있는데, 아마도 내가 이런 문화의 끝물을 즐긴 건가 싶다. AI가 생긴 뒤로 질문 자체가 잘 안 올라오고, 올라와도 나 정도가 답할만한 질문은 거의 올라 오지 않는다. 아마도 더 이렇게 되겠지. 그 참... 한 4~5년 재밌었는데 말이다.

그나저나 내가 느끼는 AI의 최고의 장점은, 개인 교사다. 나는 그닥 영리하진 않아서, 공부, 일하다 보면, 질문하고 싶은게 쌓이는데, 잘도 대답해 준다.

AI ruins everything [uni]

Going to uni a few years ago was like being a sponge. Constant information coming at me and I had to absorb as much as possible.

Now it's like being the work experience kid at Legal Aid. Staff present you with bullshit, you expend a bit of effort finding both the real information and a paper on why that particular type of AI is unsuitable for use in education. They blow you off, repeat.

AI ruins everything [uni]

I used to spend all my time learning from interesting people.

Now I spend all my time trying to pull interesting people out of AI holes and forcing them to engage with humans.

The student/lecturer relationship has completely changed over the last few years. The amount of time and effort I've seen students expend trying to keep lecturers on-track and teaching (rather than off on AI tangents) is unprecedented. We are getting to the point where students are having to lead the interaction to get anything done.

Od června loňského roku s automatonomy.net provozujeme Gancio instanci devent.cz zaměřenou na kulturní akce.

Pokud byste někdy chtělyi šířit kulturní akce v rámci Fediverse, tak budeme rádi, registrace máme otevřené.

Vzniklo to trochu náhodně, když se nás Cornelia Sollfrank při přípravě výstavy Together Yet Alone zeptala, zda budeme mít i událost mimo centralizované sociální sítě.

A jelikož událost nepasovala pod politické akce.nolog.cz, udělali jsme si vlastní Gancio instanci.

安保法制の問題整理して考えてみたが、枝野の見解はそもそも安倍政権のものとそう変わりはなく、ただ法を「集団的自衛権」の名において解釈することは違憲であるという考え。基本的には、存立危機事態の認定についての政府裁量は認める立場。現状の安保法制がそうだけど、存立危機事態の認定と自衛隊の運用が分離しており、前者については国会承認ではなく閣議決定、後者については国会承認を必要とする。議論が二つあるわけなんだけど(存立危機事態の認定と自衛隊の運用)、安保法制が違憲か合憲かは事実上どっちでもよい話だとおもわれ、むしろ、歯止めとして考えられている国会承認が自衛隊の運用だけで問題ないのか、ということが議論の対象なんじゃないかと思う。存立危機事態の認定をいまのところ閣議決定できる(んですよね??)ということに問題があって、これが違憲かどうかは実のところ答がでないような問題であると思う。この話でよくでてくる砂川裁判が司法判断をせず政府裁量を容認しているものだから、憲法判断はしないというのが司法の結論(=政治的判断しか存在しない)。 集団的自衛権の行使が違憲であることはほぼそうなのだが、司法判断が常に回避され政治判断に委ねられる以上、司法による統制以外の統制を探さないといけないのが実態ではないだろうか。それが民主的統制と呼ばれるもので、国会承認をどこで必要とするかみたいな話なんだけど。

The Linux version of the game Factorio runs perfectly fine (with solid 60 FPS/UPS) on FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE. Using linux64.ko and the rl9 user-land packages. Performance is great, even on an 8 year old ThinkPad T480.

$ file factorio
factorio: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, BuildID[sha1]=3e1ef3fc882aecbbebb1c9d2fc5ca064842310fc, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0

On 14.3-RELEASE, I did still run the Windows64 version via wine (the Linux version was flickering), but now the Linux version is running perfectly on FreeBSD.

I'm very happy with how perfectly it works. Love to play that when traveling in the hotel during a business trip.

THE FACTORY MUST GROW!! 🙂 🏭

最近想重新玩底片相機,才發現舊那台忘記拿電池出來,已經漏液了 :meowouch:

雖然是手動捲片,就是閃光燈無法用,還是另外買了一台價錢差不多的,隨便用不心痛的價格

不過之前相機放包裡好像常常不小心按到快門,不知道有沒有好一點的攜帶方法,一定要買相機袋嗎 :blobcatastonished:
