Cindy Cohn has spent 30 years standing up to the DOJ, taking on the NSA, and tangling with the FBI to protect our right to digital privacy.

Before deleting a dataset or snapshot, perform a dry run using the -n
parameter. This is to make sure you really want to delete just that
dataset/snapshot and not any dependent ones. ZFS will display the resulting
action when -n is combined with the -v option without actually performing
it:

zfs destroy -nrv mypool@mysnap

Once you are sure this is exactly what you intend to do, remove the -n
parameter to execute the destroy operation.

@zmF Copyright is enforced on a case by case basis, and in the absence of evidence it would be assumed that all rights are reserved by whoever is determined to be the original author. This also applies nearly universally via the Berne Convention: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berne_Convention

However, what I am seeing is that large open source projects are readily accepting changes that are clearly marked as AI generated. If it is clear there is no human author, then there is no copyright protection.

Humorous response from four First Nations on Vancouver Island to a Conservative MP. One of the best ways to respond to ignorance and bigotry.

I tried the MacBook Neo as a replacement for my M4 Air. It's not quite the Mac for me, but it's close to perfect for many.

"roughly half of [American] men ages 18 to 49 have an active account with an online sportsbook"

I'm astonished by this stat. I had no idea that this was so much of a thing. (But, then, I'm getting horrifyingly close to the top end of that age bracket.)

기술 자체를 애도하는 사람—코드를 쓰는 질감, 우아한 해법의 만족감—에게는 “그냥 적응해”라는 말이 아무 의미가 없다. 그 만족감을 다른 곳에서 찾아야 할 수도 있고, 일이 다르게 느껴질 것을 받아들여야 할 수도 있다. 그리고 솔직히, 지금까지 “장인 정신”에 생계가 걸려 있었다는 것은 운이 좋았던 것이다.

Wild to get interviewed by an AI bot, but on the other hand, hiring is so broken and at an all-time low. Might be even an improvement. 🫠

@lmorchardLes Orchard wrote something that stuck with me: AI-assisted coding isn't creating a split among developers. It's revealing one that was always there, just invisible when we all worked the same way.

If you're mourning the loss of the craft itself—the texture of writing code, the satisfaction of an elegant solution—that's real, and no amount of “just adapt” addresses it. You might need to find that satisfaction somewhere else, or accept that work is going to feel different. Frankly, we've been lucky there's been a livelihood in craft up to now.

It is a personal failure of mine that I cannot get over the phenomenon of computer programmers being offended that there is an increased appetite for documentation, like skills, with the advent of programming agents.

You can't understand the value of being able to have a computer reliably, quickly, and repeatedly follow complex instructions at little marginal cost in a way that compounds? And you program computers?

I am looking to host a **de-federated** mastodon instance for 300 to 500 people.

I wanted to know what kind server specs I should go for for this kind of project. should I go for 8gb or 4gb of RAM, roughly how many vCPUs/threads, etc..
