Hey everyone, so my time with Vantage comes to an end at the end of this month. I feel so lucky to have worked on the stuff I did. I am looking for full time work. If anyone knows anyone, my DMs are open. People at Vantage are able to vouch for me and the services/experiences I can produce.

They didn't care about privacy and anonymity when they built the data economy or when they built these tools premised in surveillance capitalism. They still don't care about these fundamental democratic rights now.

If you run BIND, you may wonder what kinds of improvements you'll see when upgrading from one version to another. Occasionally we like to publish benchmark test results to help with those decisions.

We've just posted a blog on BIND 9.20 resolver performance compared to 9.18. tl;dr: under mid- to heavy traffic loads, 9.20 has even lower latency than 9.18, particularly while starting up.

Read more about our performance benchmarking at isc.org/blogs/2026-03-05-bind-

Thanks for using ISC's software!

It may well be true that we're observing the terminal arc which leads to the implosion and death of the FOSS movement. But suggestion that the deciding factor isn't the attack from without, but a variable from within - the socio-political cluelessness of the movement's own participants. Yesterday's demand to "keep politics out of it" is today's embrace of AI psychosis

@lcamtuflcamtuf :verified: :verified: :verified: I understand why people think this, but I actually don't think it's true at all. It only seems that way when you encounter a new subject for the first time, and the unfamiliar jargon makes your head spin. But properly getting your head round something like tropical geometry is SO much harder than remembering the terminology, that really even if the terminology were somehow so magically perfect that it took no effort at all to learn, the overall difficulty of learning the material would be identical up to a rounding error.

Hive mind! My partner has fairly extensive bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and is meant to wear hearing aids but found the NHS ones very uncomfortable.

We’re looking at private options, and I’m wondering if anyone in my network has any recommendations for something comfortable that can be worn with glasses.

僕の個人的な感覚ではピアレビューを通って学会の発行してる雑誌(なぜかNatureとScienceは含む)に載ったのが論文で、学会のまとめ(集録)に載ったのは集録(わかりづらい)、それ以外は記事なんだけど、人によっては研究者の方が自分のサイトとか紀要とかで公開してるのも論文と呼ぶ感じがする

It is entirely possible of course that 20th century Communist governments were so touchy about athletic clubs becoming large enough to become a vehicle for anti-government organizing *because* they had studied history and knew about the two (I think) times this happened in Imperial China in the 1800s

A follow-up e-mail to attendees of our un-workshop on Growing the Open Social Web went out a few hours ago. It contains a link to a questionnaire where you can give us some feedback. We'd love to hear your thoughts on how to make future FediForum events even more successful.

@lcamtuflcamtuf :verified: :verified: :verified: I agree, and this disagrees. Like yes, many math names are "creative" instead of informative - terrible.

As a student, these terms scared me; made it difficult to discuss math (my memory for random names is bad).

As a lecturer, I encouraged students to avoid using names of theorems; instead use a descriptive name.

However, as someone who wrote math, it's hard to write clearly & avoid using obtuse terminology. You find yourself defining so many things that it happens naturally..

RE: mastodon.social/@luisglezreyes

zonaestrategia.net/bifo-la-hum :

"... žijeme v jakési kognitivní disonanci. Jedná se o stav, kdy kategorie, které máme k dispozici, nedokážou postihnout realitu. Nejprve na úrovni interpretace, na úrovni porozumění, a poté samozřejmě na úrovni představivosti, elaborace, očekávání atd."

"... došlo ke změně technického charakteru. Od určitého okamžiku se jedinci formují ve vztahu ke stroji, a nikoli ve vztahu k hlasu matky nebo přítomnosti sourozence. Už není tolik bratrů a sester. Děti jsou většinou jedináčky. A v každém případě každý jedinec, každé dítě komunikuje ve vztahu k obrazovce. Je mi to velmi líto, ale tato změna již nastala. Nemluvíme o něčem budoucím ani o něčem současném. Mluvíme o něčem, co se stalo..."

Je tam toho ještě mnoho. I o dezerci. O nepředvídatelnosti. Španělský originál a strojový překlad do čestiny také zde:
