@kopptisch wozu braucht ihr den begriff also? er muss ja anscheinend von euch definiert werden. und die eigentliche sphäre, aus der der begriff entstammt, wird ignoriert oder negiert. da drängt sich schon der verdacht auf: weil es gegen jüd*innen gehen soll. warum reicht es nicht, die politik der regierung netanjahu zu verurteilen? oder den siedlungsbau im westjordanland? oder… warum muss es der begriff „zionismus“ sein, wenn der sogar extra definiert werden muss?
My friends here in San Diego who are R1 scientists, leading some of the most successful labs in their areas in one of the world's densest regions for scientific and medical innovation use words like: broken, bleak, devastating, nihilistic. Half the people I know who worked on equity & science topics have stopped posting publicly about it or producing scicom on it after experiencing too much stress and burden for their safety. Even *left* social media foments rage spirals and pileons
🌕 為何我鍾情於 FreeBSD
➤ 從青澀實驗到穩定信仰：一位工程師的 FreeBSD 二十年手札
✤ https://it-notes.dragas.net/2026/03/16/why-i-love-freebsd/
本文記錄了一位資深系統管理員與 FreeBSD 長達二十年的不解之緣。作者透過對比早期在 Linux 環境中碎片化的文檔與 FreeBSD 完整且權威的《手冊》（Handbook），發現了該作業系統在工程設計上的卓越嚴謹性。文中強調了 FreeBSD 持續性、穩定性以及「演進而非革命」的設計哲學，並指出其在伺服器運作、原生 ZFS 支援與 Jail 虛擬化技術上的技術優勢，最終昇華至對該社羣專業熱情與人文價值的推崇。
+ 這篇文章精準地捕捉到了 BSD 與 Linux 在哲學上的差異。對於追求「可預測性」的工程師來說，FreeBSD 的確是處理生產環境的最佳夥伴。
+ 關於 FreeBSD 《手冊》的記憶真的很有共鳴，那是那個年代自學者的聖經。相較於現在網路上雜亂的技術部落格，這種系統化的知識體系確實彌足珍

Why I Love FreeBSD
A personal reflection on my first encounter with FreeBSD in 2002, how it shaped the way I design and run systems, and why its philosophy, stability, and community still matter to me more than twenty years later.

Waiting for some hackers to create a true One-Wire protocol that lives up to its name, by launching a high-order waveguide / surface-wave mode gigahertz signal on the wire.

There's a woman on NextDoor accusing someone of being a scammer. When asked what the supposed scammer did, she is reprimanding people for invading her privacy. And now she's upset that people aren't believing her.
NextDoor is the best app to lurk on IMO
A dramatic re-enactment
OP: DO NOT do business with this woman! She is a scammer!!
Reply: What did she do?
OP: She SCAMMED ME
Reply: Yes, but how did she scam you?
OP: That's PERSONAL and NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
Reply: Ok well I don't know you so I'm not gonna take your word for it without details.
OP: OH SO YOU DON'T BELIEVE VICTIMS?!
RE: https://ohai.social/@dramypsyd/116239889625559878
OP is a cat, and the SCAM involves not getting 2nd dinner

Anyone out there in #RetroComputing fedi have, or know where I could get, #RealPlayer 5, G2, 7, or 8 for #Solaris or #IRIX? Or any other *NIX ports aside from Linux that might be out there?
Edit: Got it! Fedi is awesome!
Gathering a couple of saddening threads on US science from people with the NIH expertise to know. Not a single scientist in my life expects the rest of their career to go as they had expected a few years ago.

Important read if you're thinking of using CRDTs. When I looked at them a long time ago I came away with the conclusion that it was really useful tech, but conflict resolution always ends up being a problem in your business logic, not in the sync protocol.

There's a widespread myth that medieval people used spices to cover up the taste of rotten meat.
The whole story traces back to one book. In 1939, a scientist named J.C. Drummond published The Englishman's Food and suggested that medieval recipes were so heavily spiced because the meat was frequently tainted. No evidence. Just an assumption. One sentence in one book published 85 years ago.

If you can join it will mean a lot, even if you keep your video and audio off and just observe or have the option of observing. You might meet some other kindred spirits, too. Sorry re: zoom. FOSS alt coming soon.

The man who did not care about the war in Ukraine because this was Europe's war, now wants Europe to join the war he started with Iran, while he is lifting sanctions on Russia, so Putin can scale up the Ukraine war.
Trump is not playing chess. He is just eating the pieces.
The orange pedo-moron went into this on his own. He can get out on his own.
