"Since the start of October alone, over 400 federal judges have determined in at least 4,421 cases that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is unlawfully detaining individuals as part of its mass-deportation effort, Reuters found."
"A group of Buddhist monks completed their 2,300-mile, 110-day Walk for Peace [Feb. 10] as they journeyed from Fort Worth, Texas, to the DC-area.
They were led by Venerable Bhikkhu Paññākāra, who walked part of the trip barefoot. They stopped in ten states—through snow and rain, often sleeping outside. They inspired millions with the message that peace is possible."

“#DHS has sent hundreds of administrative subpoenas to Google, Reddit, Discord and Meta over the past few months.”
But not to the fediverse…? Oh, right ;)
(I guess the only place large enough for them to bother with would be mastodon.social and maybe not even.)
So I was tooling around in Windows 3.11 (as one does), and I noticed this in the list of built-in printers. "Apricot Laser". Turns out Apricot sold many rebadged printers. https://apricot-archive.co.uk/apricot-writer-printers
Hilariously, some of their laser printers were rebadged Apple LaserWriters!

That moment when you switch off the downstairs light before bed… and instantly regret glancing back into the darkness as you head upstairs.
Honestly, a little tired of hearing the old saw that nobody wants science fiction books. Well, too bad. I’m going to keep writing them. They’re my bestselling books anyway!

On this day in 1990, the Voyager 1 space probe took a photo of our planet from approximately 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) away.
"Commissioned by NASA and resulting from the advocacy of astronomer and author Carl Sagan, the photograph was interpreted in Sagan's 1994 book, Pale Blue Dot, as representing humanity's minuscule and ephemeral place amidst the cosmos."

ZFS on Linux? Technically, it mostly works just fine.
Why you still shouldn’t run it on a supported enterprise distribution is in my latest, intentionally less-serious blog post 🙂

Today at just a perfectly normal evening meal with my family (just me, partner, two kids) I started finding myself struggling to deal with the cutlery and crockery sounds. It happens to me every now and then.
It's well depicted in this clip from Love and Mercy, where at a dinner with lots of people, the sounds grow ever louder and Brian Wilson is increasingly disturbed and upset by it, until he leaps up with his hands over his ears and shouts at them all to stop: https://youtu.be/KQX8ooOWFDY
