Current status: hoping very much that disabling AppArmor in the kernel doesn't still have terrible bugs like it did early in the life of Ubuntu 22.04, when it gave you charming and fatal kernel memory leaks.

Because guess what we just did on all of our user-accessible machines (in an emergency immediate reboot, I'm sure people are happy about that one).

Trump has nominated MAGA loyalist Markwayne Mullin to replace Kristi Noem.

The Senate already knows what happens when a dangerous and cruel DHS secretary is confirmed. Tell your senators to vote NO on Mullin and doubling down on ICEโ€™s lawless violence: indivisible.org/actions/vote-n

Block Markwayne Mullinโ€™s Confirmation as DHS Secretary | Indivisible

Trump thinks swapping out ICE Barbie Kristi Noem with loyalist lapdog Markwayne Mullin will take the heat off our demands for accountability - tell your Senator they must oppose Mullinโ€™s confirmation!

RE: cosocial.ca/@evan/115580076628

This was posted 4 months ago, i.e. forever in LLM time. I would really like to see a fully-worked through analysis of the actual GHG cost of in general and for coding applications specifically. Including, obviously, training, data centre infrastructure, silicon fabrication, etc.

The reason: I have trouble reconciling these numbers with the insane volumes of investment capital going into the space.

The Scent of the City

A morning walk through Ferrara becomes a journey through scent and memory - from London coffee to a grandmother's market, from ancient hospital corridors to the unmistakable perfume of fresh bread.

Oooh, a prior oil crisis is what turned the Netherlands from a driving country to a bicycling country.

The Guardian: Do we want to keep fixing the same issue? Unlearned lessons from the first big oil crisis

As energy prices tripled in the 1970s due to Middle Eastern wars, Scandinavia, France and the Netherlands sped up green transition

theguardian.com/environment/20

Dutch cycle lanes โ€œHolland saddle-sore but fume freeโ€ was how Guardian editors headlined an article in November 1973 after oil price spikes led the Dutch government to ban cars on Sundays. The three-month measure was followed by a number of structural steps โ€“ from segregated cycle lanes to designing people-friendly cities โ€“ that got people on their bikes and out of vehicles that chugged foreign fuels. โ€œThe decision of not using cars on Sundays made it clear that societies could do without them for one day,โ€ said Jan Wittenberg, the first chair of the Dutch Cyclistsโ€™ Union, which was founded 50 years ago. โ€œAnd it looked fantastic. There were picnics on motorways and kids playing in the street.โ€

Powerlifting and Mastodon Made Me Learn FFmpeg | Ruth Kitchin Tillman

The desire to share my powerlifting videos on platforms with comparatively little capacity for large amounts of data led me to finally tackle FFmpeg. I share a bit about my use case, then describe and reflect on my process.

This is a shit take. Yeah, privacy as implemented in AP relies on a system of trust, with the assumption that the majority of players are acting in good faith, but sit down for this zinger: so does literally the rest of the infrastructure of the modern net.

If your argument were about the security of end-to-end comms where integrity and secrecy have to be verifiable, at least this would be a relevant perspective.

Who the hell are you to decide what the 'point' is, casually trodding on agency because it's inconvenient to you.

so no wifi, ethernet, or nvme. it sees the SD card, but not the eMMC.

of course none of them seem to drive the onboard display; this is all over serial console

What if the real impact of balcony solar will be all the political strength training that results from solar user vs. HOA drama?

A fraction of the people who end up having to "get political" to resolve some issue close to home tend to stay political
