I have a particular thing I've been thinking about which is how go/no go tasks are exhausting to our executive control.

It is common in tech to make disparaging remarks about how software isn't factory work, implying factory work isn't "thinking." But factory work actually demands a lot of our cognition.

Studies on factory workers have suggested the need to constantly exert executive control is one reason that people working in factories face a lot of burnout. Not just physical exhaustion.

260119 동물권행동 카라 대표 전진경 사퇴촉구 9차 시민 집회.
중간에 있는 저 코기가 두리번거리다가 눈 마주침 (이따 사무실에 쉬러 올라갔을 때는 무슨 고양이처럼 콧등으로 스윽 손을 긁더니 쓰다듬으라는 듯이 등 돌리며 털썩 주저 앉음… 이럴수가​:text_dog:​복복복복)

……그리고 귀여운 이야기 사이에서 당사자 발언·연대 발언 등은 여전히 결기와 쓸쓸함과 응원과 애타는 요청을 담고 있었는데요. 오늘 들은 이야기 중에… 노무현재단 안에서 상사의 부당대우에 맞서싸우다 퇴사하신 분의 발언과, 학교 급식 담당으로 일하다가 불공정한 관행(11개월 계약, 본인 허락 없는 대리 서명 등등;; )과 싸운 끝에 민주노총 상근 활동가가 되신 분의 발언이 기억에 남네요.

집회. "구조 동물 감금·방치한 카라 대표 전진경은 사퇴하라!"라고 적힌 옷의 문구가 보이고, 앉은 사람이 안고 있는 강아지의 머리가 보인다.

Finally got with macvlan and DHCP working. I was hitting this bug in netavark 1.17.0: github.com/containers/netavark

1.17.1 fixes it, but 25.11 still ships 1.17.0. Luckily, it’s easy on NixOS to simply overlay netavark with the version from nixpkgs-unstable while keeping the rest on 25.11.

Look, I’m going to need everyone to stop showering ASAP. I’m not being mean, but ChatGPT is thirsty and it needs your water to cool its brain. Also, put on a sweater and turn the heat off, the servers are sweating and my AI girlfriend can’t handle the humidity. We need more cooling in the data center :P /s

I’ve just finished writing a watchdog driver for the MediaTek MT7622 SoC (used on boards like Banana Pi R64) for FreeBSD!

This driver implements the watchdog support so that systems based on MT7622 can reliably use the watchdog subsystem to monitor and recover from hangs or lockups — a core part of making embedded platforms stable under FreeBSD.

The MT7622 is the ARM networking SoC on the R64 board with 5× Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and more. Getting low-level hardware support like this working is a big step toward usable FreeBSD support on this hardware.

🔥 Want to help test it?
If you’re running FreeBSD on MT7622-based boards (like Banana Pi R64) — please give the new watchdog driver a spin and share feedback, bugs or test results!

What came first: the CNAME or the A record?

What came first- the CNAME or the A record

A recent change to 1.1.1.1 accidentally altered the order of CNAME records in DNS responses, breaking resolution for some clients. This post explores the technical root cause, examines the source code of affected resolvers, and dives into the inherent ambiguities of the DNS RFCs.

Peter Cartwright, creator of Classic Mac game EV Override has passed. Override was the game that first showed me that you could fit a whole world in one of these 'game' things. I probably only spent a few summer hours inside actually playing the original Override in the Mac lab, but it made a powerful impression that lasts to this day. Thanks PAC.

There's a new scam happening where fake 2SLGBTQ+ conferences are spinning up and reaching out to advocacy organizations for endorsements, likely to harvest personal information on individuals who'd apply. If you work with other targeted minority groups, please be careful.

Scam alert! A new conference, "Canvoos Montreal", is soliciting endorsements from queer rights organizations in Montréal. I received the below email from them earlier today, soliciting the endorsement of the organization I’ve founded, Juritrans. At first glance, this seems interesting. However, their email seemed suspicious (ChatGPT-like phrases, “sales” email, etc.). So I checked. It gets darker. One fact of the Internet is that any website’s domain name (for example, “example.com” is a domain name) must be registered before use. This record — often known as a WHOIS record — allows one to have insights into the website, such as its owner and when it was first registered. Turns out, Canvoos Montreal’s domain name was registered only two days ago. Additionally, its website uses generic drawings pulled from Pride organizations in the United States, and seems to be translated into French entirely using Google Translate: in the context of a website, “home” is translated to «accueil», not «maison»! I couldn’t find any other presence of Canvoos Montreal anywhere on the internet, nor in the Quebec business registrar; no individuals were mentioned on the conference’s website either. This leads me to the obvious conclusion: this is an evolution of the “LGBTI conference scam” that was first documented in the news last year. Fake conferences, in the queer context, are non-existent conferences, designed to dupe LGBTI+ activists from the Global South into paying “registration fees” for a non-existent event. The usual formula is an announced conference, whereas activists from the Global South are invited as delegates or speakers, travel expenses covered, but then are made to pay a registration fee, in an unrefundable manner (e.g. Western Union or wire payment). By the time they apply for a visa to visit Canada, it’s too late, the conference doesn’t exist and they’ve lost out on their money. Whilst this scam has been reported by Xtra Magazine last year (https://lnkd.in/eyJi-bRs), soliciting local queer organizations to endorse such conferences is a new, particularly low way of getting unsuspecting non-profits to participate in such scams. Non-profit organizations should be extremely cautious if ever they’re invited to be involved with a little-known or otherwise unfamiliar conference. As for individuals invited to unfamiliar conferences, if you’re required to pay a registration fee in spite of having travel expenses paid for, that’s a massive red flag. If you have good reasons to doubt something’s legitimacy, be cautious! Dignity Network Canada Open Digital Literacy and Access Network (ODLAN)

This is an incredibly good essay by Iris Meredith about the cultures of technology and how LLMs coding tools have cast the conflict of those cultures (honor vs engineering) into active strife, and then subsequently framing *that* in terms of gender

> code agents are the spears that the high and mighty of the tech culture fight with for glory in battle. They're a way for men to assert their masculinity and their skill in producing much new and innovative code, and they demonstrate to the men that use them that they are fighters and effective on the field of combat that is innovation

deadsimpletech.com/blog/the_pr

The problem is culture | deadSimpleTech

Which raises the question: what if the people on the other side of the divide aren't more trusting, less curious, less experienced or otherwise less suited or less capable of making use of the tools? What if they're simply humanities people? Or worse, mechanical engineers?
