Hey guys, new album just dropped today! "Tyranny Falls" is my first album release! Composed on an #Amiga4000 , Tyranny Falls brings a vintage, chip tuned, and sampled look at how things are, what our leaders are pushing for, and some ways to stop it. Break out your floppies, #resist #fascism and watch the #ice melt!

Seeing all these large companies with downtime due to turning over their code to AI made me think of this meme every time someone suggests we do the same.
Day 2 on Mastodon:
I don’t fully understand the Fediverse yet, but everyone seems super nice and no one's tried to sell me crypto, so that’s already an improvement over most of the internet. 🔐😅
So, if you like birds, bees, gardens, my quirky art, or quiet backyard moments… we’ll probably get along just fine. 🌿🐦🐝🎨
Hope you're all having a wonderful day ✌🏻

I'll be giving a talk about Rust for CPython at #PyConUS this year! Very excited to share about what we've been working on and our plans!
This will be my first time speaking at PyConUS, so I'm also a bit nervous 😅
It's frightening how readily people offload their thinking to GenAI.
Google's new command line tool can plug OpenClaw into your Workspace data
This could make it easier to plug AI into Workspace APIs, but it's not yet an official Google product.

(I asked Mike on LinkedIn.)
Has anyone tried this, measured outcomes?
Asking because:

It found AGENTS.md “files tend to reduce task success rates compared to providing no repository context, while also increasing inference cost by over 20%.”

“You cannot blow up the sun. It is incredibly difficult to disable a decentralized network of millions of rooftop solar panels. Distributed energy is inherently more resilient to sabotage than a handful of massive, vulnerable thermal plants.”
So, for my vala game framework "Veggies" I have made a bit more complex sample game.
This is "Shape Blaster" a very old 2013 demo from 'EnvatoTuts+' that was original med in XNA. So I converted it to my framework to test. Its not a full conversion, but good enough.
I think this proves that a rather decent tiny game with extra oomph can be done in this framework 😀.

I just looked at the 
@privacyguides Activist Toolbox... You made the whole thing yourself? Major props, it is incredible.
I want to move in another dimension.
I bet the rent is cheaper there, too.

Gode folk i Fediverset,
Vi har ladet os fortælle, at der findes et sted på det sociale web, hvor mennesker bestemmer mere end algoritmer. Det lyder som alletiders sted at plante et flag for kunsten og for den store, fælles danske kunstsamling 🚩
Vi er lige landet og føler os nye i trafikken. Til gengæld er vi meget motiverede til at lære nyt og klar til at tale kunst ved mindste anledning 😀
Så langt så godt. Planen er at fortælle historier fra museet (både KBH og Thy) og samlingen. Alle forslag, kommentarer, og undrende spørgsmål er yderst velkomne. Tak fordi du læser dette, og vi glæder os til at møde dig. Her føles allerede rart 🤗
I can very much imagine giving a lecture, in a few years time, and students will ask, disbelievingly,
"What do you mean that you could just run a website from a computer in your home? For anyone in the world to access?"
or
"No, I don't believe it - you could run a server to exchange messages with other people, without a licence, and without verifying who they are?!"
or
"What do you mean that you fell in love with your wife without knowing her real name, because you chatted to her so much on the web before you ever met?! Surely you scanned her ID when you first started talking to her."
@neilNeil Brown I feel like we will go back to secret paper notes hidden in trees.
From "your OS must enable you to declare your age" to "developers must attempt to verify your age" to "you must declare your age" to "you must prove your age" to "you must verify your identity to go online" in how long?

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 https://www.isc.org/blogs/2026-03-05-bind-resolver-performance/
Thanks for using ISC's software!

Hi all.
Just putting the feelers out as I'd love to know how many folks are using got on MacOs.
@teajaygrey does an amazing job every time I make a release of gameoftrees portable, but I could do with knowing how many of you are using it.
I made a change in the 0.123 release to fix socket handling for services such as gotwebd, which is good, but it's telling that it's taken this long, so I wonder how many users we have.
Let me know -- you can always email me at: thomas.adam22@gmail.com
Please boost this as much as possible, I'd appreciate it.
I want to move in another dimension.

Who else brought their portable computers with them to #scale23x ? If you want to find out what this has to do with Linux, come to my talk UI Lessons from Antique Computers on Saturday at 6:15pm at Ballroom H!
If I was designing ships for star fleet, I would give them a machine shop, separate from the main service deck of the ship's warp core. But that's just me

Typo of the day: Dear sir or madman
#TypoOfTheDay
"but wouldn't you agree that Iran has the right to defend itself"
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber The original conversation was about removing JSON-LD and potentially using another schema language or making one up, or throwing away extensibility altogether. That would break backwards compatibility.
I agree, we might be able to add digital signatures without removing JSON-LD.
@evanEvan Prodromou I am not suggesting removing json-ld, I am suggesting accepting the current state of affairs as "it's json-ld except not really because almost nobody is using the official algorithms" and then saying "okay, well how can we make this json-ld compatible but actually add a canonicalization and signature system that doesn't use those algorithms, even though the few people who want to bridge with the RDF world still could"
Which, maybe I didn't explain sufficiently

I'm trying to test draid virtually for #openzfsmastery, because nobody's gonna give me a shelf of 60 disks to play with. I set everything up like:
disk35_name="disk35"
disk35_type="ahci-hd"
disk35_dev="sparse-zvol"
Seems that if I have 35 ahci-hd entries, disk0 through disk34, bhyve and freebsd works. At disk35, the host panics on boot.
Is this expected with bhyve? Or does FreeBSD need a special tweak with 36 disks?
