엄마와 아마도 엄마가 목덜미를 물고 옮겼을 동생이 지켜보는 가운데 여기저기 시도해보지만 잘 안 됨; 보다못한 엄마가 내려오니 쫄쫄 달려와 물고 옮겨달라고 목덜미를 내밀고, 엄마는 물고 옮겨보려고 하지만 넌 너무 커버렸어 각이 안 나오네; 대신 이쪽 벽을 이렇게 써봐 하며 파쿠르 시범 보여주듯 다시 올라감. 아이가 엄마가 올라간 쪽 벽을 또 몇 번 시도해보다가 문득 벽 모서리를 잡으면 네 발 다 써서 매달릴 수 있음을 깨달음. 순간 엄마는 됐네 올라와라 가버리고, 동생은 마음 못 놓고 끝까지 지켜보는...

WE NEED DIGITAL MUSEUMS

one huge fall out of devaluing the work of digital archivists and librarians is that #AIslop is overtaking and burying in search engine results, historically significant #art.

we cannot leave it to search engines to act as curators, librarians, archivists, auditors, appraisers. techbros goal is profit, not historical significance.

am looking for early 1900s #sports posters. many used to be posted on blogs. all gone. all i find are cheap Adobeslop copies.

I’m trying out #loops, and apart from minor edges, I really like it. I wish more creators would produce content, it’s still a lot of memes, and I never know whether the person I’m currently watching is actually a creator on Loops. I’m sure this will improve once all the app store versions have dropped. I love that there’s an option to use an algorithm, though it needs some work. e.g. Only show me loops in languages I can understand and never show me a loop I’ve already watched. Also, the energy level of suggested loops fluctuates too much for my taste. e.g If I’m calmly vibing with nature recordings, I don’t want to jump into a loud, noisy rock concert with the next swipe.
The UI is simple and beautiful, but the categorized notifications feel unnecessarily complicated. I’d like them all in the same view, maybe separated by tabs if any separation is needed. I will definitely use it to share my animated work. If you want to share something give it a try 💛 🔁 #loopsvideo

The UK has announced plans to fast-track legislation requiring “age verification for VPN use”. The correct term, however, is not age verification but identity verification.

A law like this would require everyone to identify themselves in order to use a VPN. This would pose a risk to whistleblowers, violate human rights, and represent yet another step toward an authoritarian society.

Once again, the FCC is coming after Colbert. This time they're refusing to allow CBS to air an interview of James Talarico, a Dem Senate candidate from Texas. So we all know what to do, right?

I made another 120 Rust buttons for you all this morning. If you want one, come find me at #RustNationUK on Thursday!

I have bright pink hair now, so should be easy to find.

Anatomy of bsd.rd
https://openbsdjumpstart.org/bsd.rd/

"Todo administrador de OpenBSD ha arrancado bsd.rd al menos una vez, para instalar, actualizar o rescatar un sistema dañado. Pero pocos se detienen a mirar qué contiene realmente ese archivo. Resulta que bsd.rd es un conjunto de capas anidadas, y se puede desmontar en un sistema en ejecución sin reiniciar nada."

Does anyone here have experience with obtaining their own ASN and #IPv6 PI space?

I'm kinda getting fed up with my current ISP because of the high cost and constant peering problems, and having to use ULAs to access internal services, because my parents only get dynamic IPv6 prefixes.

@liaizonwakest ⁂ "I don't want to be on the same instance as ICE"
"You must be what people call an extremist"

Highly-trained LLMs are a form of capital. They are produced by extracting knowledge from text which workers have made, and they cannot be made practically useful without vast compute expenditures. The companies which make them seek to recoup their costs by renting them out, primarily to corporations which want to use them to reduce the number of workers which they employ. The facts are straightforward, and the net effect is a wealth transfer from workers to owners.

Current attempts at producing large-scale social or economic transformations via generative AI are an unavoidably right-wing political project.

WebZFS is pretty f'n cool

https://github.com/webzfs/webzfs

Before posting "Y sucks", have you perhaps considered you might just personally not like Y?

Before posting "you should use Z instead", have you perhaps considered that other people might just personally not like Z?

People are allowed to have different preferences and desires and priorities. That is part of what makes us human.

If you want to replace Y, *listen* to what the users of Y want. Otherwise you are just shouting into the void, and making them want to try Z even less.

These books are over 20 years old. Obviously much has changed since they were released but I still hang onto them since many of the concepts are still relevant.

On a side note: I'd probably find some masochist level of joy running these ancient OSes as daily drivers. 🤣
