The other day I installed Windows 2000 SP4 on kvm/qemu after seeing @nothingsSean Barrett's stream and wanting to play around again with VC6 and Delphi 3. A few thoughts:

1. With virt-manager, it's extremely easy to create, configure and manage desktop VMs. For some reason I had been under the impression that VirtualBox or VMWare was still the more ergonomic choice but that was not the case.

People can't help but try to evangelize Matrix in response to things I wrote, so I just disclosed a few more issues in Matrix's cryptography to their security@ email address.

This time, the issues were in their Rust library, vodozemac.

One of them was pretty fucking stupid.

I'll do a better write-up than I was initially planning when they've had time to fix it.

Winter pot of soup #4 made. Was not intending to make #4 (at least not yet) but I took my daily walk and went to Microcenter to get an SFP+ cable (and say hi to Angie and Julie, my tech store homies) and decided 'I should stop at TJ's and get stuff for another pot of soup. And here we are.

A big ole pot of vegetable soup.

Watch these habeas cases carefully. Judgments and opinions like the one I have been discussing are among the main things impeding the Trump regime’s effort to create a full blown system of concentration camps in this country. That is the fight we are in now: blocking the expansion of such camps as well as shutting down existing ones. 13/13

“At bottom, this case turns on a simple but fundamental principle. In a government of laws,
words matter. Statutes derive their authority from the language Congress enacted and not from the
government’s improper efforts to expand that language to justify detention without process.” 🔥3/

“The authority the political branches possess over immigration does not include the power to seize liberty first and justify confinement later. Due process is not a courtesy extended at the government’s convenience. Due process is the condition that makes custody lawful in the first place. …When liberty is restrained without a meaningful opportunity to be heard, the Constitution’s promise is not delayed. It is denied.” 4/

Federal district court judges continue to issue forceful, important opinions and orders against the Trump regime. This one, from a judge in West Virginia, grants habeas corpus to a couple seized by ICE. storage.courtlistener.com/reca 1/

Lol. The RFK stans came out today.

I’ll be as polite as I can here:

RFK could choke on a fucking pinecone and I would piss on his headstone every time I was in town.

I watched people die of vaccine preventable disease in ‘21-22. I hospitalized flu patients this fall who didn’t vaccinate. I’ve listened to people cling to false hope that avoiding seed oils will cure their cancer.

RFK is an evil shitbag grifter. Every death from his nonsense rests on him. Fuck the guy with a hedge trimmer.

Protest Thread #87: shouting myself hoarse at ICE again

We had a good couple hundred people at our protest tonight, and somebody brought hot chocolate to keep off the cold. Maybe that was part of the Valentine's theme of love for our neighbors, too.

But of course it was not your saccharine pink hearts Valentine's Day protest, because the suffering and the love are both very real. The protest began with a Jesuit priest, himself an immigrant,....

外でうどん食べてたんですけど、隣りに座っているおじさま3人組の1人が「いや〜〜週末札幌行って帰ってきたんですがね……なかなか天気が悪くて……結構なもんでしたよ」って言い始めて、「飛行機欠航しちゃったんですか?結構だけに!?」で私の頭が一杯になってしまい、しかし他のおじさま2人は一切ツッコまないので終始モヤモヤしていました

今領収書の整理してて、わたくし零細事業主、去年ほんとによく頑張ったとしみじみする気持ちと「薬屋のクーポンとか期限切れてるやつ捨てとけよ」とかそういう苛立ちの狭間で休憩してコーヒー飲んでるんだけど、生存て権利なのに生存は権利だって当たり前のこと言うこと自体が抵抗になってるのおかしいよな!!!といきなり思ったので書き留めておきます。しかし生活費のレシート混ざってるの腹も立つけど、これにかかる消費税や値上げのこと思うと取っておいて振り返るのも大事かもしれない、いや……今年はちゃんと整理しておかんと……
