💥 Iran targets AWS datacenters in the UAE

"At around 4:30 AM PST, one of our Availability Zones (mec1-az2) was impacted by objects that struck the data center, creating sparks and fire. The fire department shut off power to the facility and generators as they worked to put out the fire. We are still awaiting permission to turn the power back on, and once we have, we will ensure we restore power and connectivity safely. It will take several hours to restore connectivity to the impacted AZ."

Mastodon.bd is finally up and running.

It’s the first Bangladesh-focused Mastodon instance on the fediverse. I’ve been wanting to see something like this exist for a long time, so it feels good to finally put it online.

Even though the focus is Bangladesh, the instance is open to everyone, regardless of where you’re from.

Once a common sight, the Canadian stool-leg cat is rarely seen in modern times. Their population decline is attributed to paved urban surfaces giving away their position while hunting, the characteristic "thunk-thunk" scaring off prey before they can be caught.

I no longer complain about information being delivered via video instead of text, because it's not "video". It's YouTube and TikTok. These platforms pay people to make content for them. If manpages paid out per view, you'd be getting your web framework docs *and* your makeup tutorials from them too

I just threw together a website visualizing this ICE contract data! You can browse through the companies and their contracts, and filter them by state https://micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts/

Stardew valley is a popular game with people in my generation. Like most video games it's a power fantasy.

In this case about growing food, having a functional "third space" in your community and fixing public transit. Pure escapism.

Also there are magic forest spirits and dungeons with monsters and treasures.

"These drones are basically being pushed as flying cops, but a cop is not allowed to just take a peek in my backyard whenever they want," EFF’s Beryl Lipton told Law360, nor are they “allowed to just be taking notes about what's going on in a private space." https://www.law360.com/articles/2444886

Tape machines aren't hard to build, but good tape machines are. Today, there are very few manufacturers who actually build the tape part of the tape machine - the capstan-governed transport mechanism that moves the tape past the heads. This mechanism determines almost everything about how the tape player sounds.

Last night I went to a 70th birthday party and ended up sitting next to Frank.

Frank used to work as a computer programmer, because this was the 1970s to 90s and people had normal job titles that described real things, instead of "full stack orchestration engineer" or "solutions architect".

Anyway Frank's employer was the Victorian Attorney General's department. He wrote, updated and maintained in-house software for managing the court system, trial documentation managements and so on using low level languages.

The point of this post is that there was nothing special about this period of history that made it possible for government departments to write and maintain their own software to solve their own problems then but not now.

The complete lack of any in-house capacity to do this kind of thing is a political choice. Frank is a reminder of that.

Rewriting other people's original reporting and clickbait-wrapping the "new" story is not new. But a scumbag operation called "The Daily News Today" is doing it at AI-juiced scale.

Alexios Mantzarlis, one of journalism's expert observers of this stuff, explains here:

Hi, the Mastodons. I don't know how this works yet or how active I'll be here, but I thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm a UK-based female AuDHD adult, choosing to remain mostly anonymous. I'm really just curious about how the Fediverse works - I can be ambivalent about social media but I thought this sounded refreshing in contrast to the big, powerful platforms which feel scarier to me by the minute. I've also been getting to grips with Linux recently, and am thinking about other ways within my limited means and courage to try to be involved with more of the small things that are about moving away from exploitation and towards caring for each other.

Take care out there :)

Hello Fediverse! ⚓

I joined Mastodon because I miss the "old internet" feel where you could actually get to know someone through a long-form exchange. I’m a fan of details, technical specs, and hearing about people's lives from different corners of the globe.

Give me a follow if you like ocean views, boat talk, or just want a pen pal who actually writes back.

I joined the Fediverse last month to escape big tech, and wow… I was NOT ready for how awesome this community is.

Hey, I’m Leo! I’m a world citizen from Brazil and I love meeting people from everywhere, especially those who are deeply obsessed with super specific things, from Furbies to geopolitics.

I usually toot in English or Portuguese, but we can also be Spanish or French pen pals. Feel free to DM me anytime!

You know what? Mastodon and Bluesky are giving me the same no-good shitty feelings that Twitter did way back. I've removed the apps from my phone, sometimes remember to check on my laptop, and don't feel like I'm missing much besides a bunch of existential hang-writing into the sky.

Can confirm. My in-house recruiter and I are angrily eliminating resumes with entries identical to ones in other resumes. Sometimes entire resumes are identical. WHAT.

Write it yourself. That is what stands out.

I’ll tell you what I *do* love seeing: some sign of a human personality in a resume. A person with an opinion about all this stuff. I almost don't care what the opinion is: have one! Tell me how excited about Tcl you are! You're wrong, but it'll be interesting to talk to you about how wrong you are!

DAWSON CITY: FROZEN TIME is a mesmerizing, ethereal 2016 documentary by director Bill Morrison about the 1978 Dawson Film Find, in which copies of hundreds of silent films thought lost forever were discovered under the abandoned hockey rink of an old Yukon Gold Rush town. Morrison interweaves the story of the town's boom and bust with footage from the restored films themselves, tying them together with a haunting soundtrack. The effect is like floating through a dream. I loved it.

Which is why I was excited to discover that a few months ago, Kino Lorber put the whole film up for free viewing on YouTube.
