Please do not come to the US.

It's okay. I know you know that our government is not us. I know you know that we love you. I know you know that we are in a terrible place.

But please don't come here.

I can not guarantee your safety.

I am horrified to be saying it, it feels awful, I hate hate hate it, but the simple truth is that I can not guarantee your safety.

There is no rule of law here. Our government is led by people who do not believe in any of our shared values.

Dobré ráno, bando!🧡 Dnes kontrola na IHOK a od minula mám slíbeno, že když budou dobré výsledky, bude letos poslední. Tak mi držte, prosím, palce!🧡🧡
Poslední týden mi trochu víc pracovala hlava. Odešel Patrik Hezucký a tak se mi neustále vracela otázka - kolik času mám já....?

Immer wenn ich lese "Kein Mitleid mit..." und es dabei um Menschen geht, die auf Propaganda reingefallen sind, dann läuft es mir eiskalt den Rücken runter.
Eben beim Thema Gasheizung. Doch, Mitleid mit denen, die von der Propaganda so verängstigt wurden, dass sie eine falsche Entscheidung getroffen haben, die ihnen bald finanziell das Genick bricht. Abgesehen davon, dass viel Geld und Macht hinter dieser Propaganda steckt: Wo kommen wir hin, wenn wir uns erheben, statt Mitgefühl zu zeigen?

So from this month on I'll also have to pay for Gemini Advanced, or rather, Google One, which at least also includes 2 TB Drive storage. Though Google Drive is meh.
The thing is, I still don't really know wether I actually should. I also use Chat GPT Plus, more often than Gemini. But I prefer both for different usecases. But paying 40€ per month for AI, which I don't actually, you know, love that much. Eh meh. Not sure.

Wow! That was an hour of sheer panic and adrenaline!
While in the process of attempting to locate, unplug at both ends, disentangle, and finally extract a power cord from my insane spaghetti of cables, I knocked out power to the same portion of my equipment that I did last time, doing the same thing, LOL. Clearly, this is a rather weak point in my physical infrastructure. But I knew that already. But have I done anything about it yet? Clearly not. LOL. Whose to blame about that? Okay, I should do something about it. Maybe. Sometimes, or perhaps more than sometimes, we so often don't learn, and we willingly and continually do things or don't do things even though we know they are wrong. Then bvad things happen, and then we ignore it some more, and it nags at us, and we ignore it some more.
Wellp, this time, things did not power up as expected. The major component that got knocked out was the entire network plant. Upon reboot, the SFP+ fiber modules did not return to service as usual. The active module was layer 3 unreachable, even though the port showed as up. The secondary (backup) module was online, but of course, it did not have any fiber connected to it. I switched the fiber over, but the connection did not come back up.
Then, some how, both modules became unresponsive, and this time, both ports went down too.
Oh boy, this was not good.
I rebooted the switch, and only the backup fiber module came layer3 online, but the Internet did not. Fortunately, the 5G connection that I canceled, and then they gave me two free months of was still up and running, and automatically powering the network, as per routing policy. So I pulled the latest firmware for the fiber module, and ran the upgrade process. This went off without a hitch. However, though the upgrader said it was rebooting, layer3 never became responsible, and The fiber link did not come back up. I rebooted the switch once again, and this time, both SFP+ ports became active, and both fiber modules were pingable on the management VLAN once again! Wahoo! Then, what's more, the Internet came up on the backup module. I did a quick swap of the fiber, and the connection is now back up on the primary fiber module, with the backup once again functional and on hot standby, for situations, I guess, just like this.
Wow! Seems that the switch had a hayday with its SFP+ section. 10G-base-T worked perfectly the whole time. Very odd indeed. I really thought there for about an hour that I had initially fried one, and then both fiber modules, a $300 value. Wellp, turns out I got lucky, and nothing is fried.
Just wow!

ssd.eff.org/module/how-to-get-… is pretty good. It's more "make your iOS device a bit more private" rather than generic "internet privacy", but there's good advice in there.

How to: Get to Know iPhone Privacy and Security Settings

Open up your iPhone’s Settings app and you’ll find dozens of different options with little guidance on what those options do.

If using forks killed Firefox as "relevant" architecture – using Edge/Opera would kill Chrome's "relevance". I can't see how that is the case. Using a gecko based fork won't show up as blink, but maybe I got you wrong.

I think, leaving Firefox sends a strong and clear message. Especially when forks get more attention. Same as growing numbers would. (btw Thunderbird has no notable forks – maybe there is something to learn from you 😉)

Staying with Firefox enables it to ignore criticism, keep default Google search (and bragging about privacy), add AI features, … in the end I value the freedom to vote with my feet, even in Firefox's case.

I'm on your side on most topics you cover – but come on, be a bit nicer to forks. 😍

Jujutsu is starting to grow on me in ways I can't fully articulate yet.

Essentially my workflow now is: create an empty commit describing some change. Do all my immediate work in a second empty commit on top of that. If the work fits within the larger change I described in the previous commit, squash the changes, then I'm back to an empty commit again and the change just accumulates below. If I realize "Oh crap, this thing I just did has nothing to do with the larger change but it's still good to have," no problem. Just describe it, commit, then I can easily rebase the previous squash on top of the change I just made. So then I have main -> unrelated nice-to-have change -> squashed commit with larger change -> empty commit for new work. It sounds confusing, and it still kind of is, but it feels like peeling back a level of burocracy I didn't quite realize existed until it was gone. I can even jj prev a couple times, rewind the worktree past the squash commit, and keep working on the new problem there if I want. Sure it's all possible in git, but how much magic do you need to know to actually want to use that on a daily basis? Willingly?

Speaking of Git, when it's time to not break Git users' brains (and my own brain still, if I'm being completely honest) I update my bookmarks (named commits, as far as I can tell) and push them to Git as branches. Then I just keep on working however I like or need to, and filter it out to upstream as needed. The fact that my working directory is tracked automatically unless I explicitly gitignore a thing worried me at first, but the key is making that squash commit what I want to filter out upstream. So all those design notes, sketches, test scripts and such that were useful to have and automatically version but probably aren't great to upstream? Just rm them in the squash commit and they're taken care of. I still technically have them on that branch if I need them again later.

No LFS support, no submodules, and no meaningful hooks are kind of rough, though. Hooks I can deal without except for at the Git boundary, but those other two...

The shame of this G7 meeting is that the Canadian ministers give zero f*cks about Canadian sovereignty, as it applies to Canadians and their online information, financial data, etc. EVERYTHING, in one way or another, ends up going through AWS, or some other offshore BS. ctvnews.ca/politics/article/mo… #cdnpoli #cdntech #FAIL #clowncomputing

Montreal hosts G7 ministers to talk about artificial intelligence, quantum computing

Artificial intelligence is likely to take up much of the agenda as industry, digital and technology ministers from the world’s most powerful Western countries meet in Montreal this week.

When the dynamic island on iPhone is telling me I have 10 percent battery remaining (and often preventing me from opening the app switcher at the same time for some reason), it has a VoiceOver action named "Collapse." This action doesn't actually seem to do anything.

Is there a consistent way, other than waiting, to tell the island that I get it and would now like it to get out of my face?

From January 20th, 2026, #books released through #Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) without #DRM will be downloadable as #EPUB or #PDF for users who have purchased them. It will also be possible for no-DRM status to be toggled for existing #ebooks.

It remains to be seen how many #authors and publishers will take advantage of this, whether the files will be watermarked, and if the feature will be available for non-KDP titles.

@Friendica Support hello, may i pls get some help on this query about #Circles ?

i have sub-divided my list of follows & followers into several Circles. one of these is for all my followed #newsbots. i have found to my chagrin that a basic design feature of #Friendica is working against me here. atm, if i read a particular newsbot's post whilst in my "Bot" circle, then decide to quote-boost / quote-share it, with some pertinent commentary by me, it's a complete waste of time... the default Friendica permissions / visibility feature makes my resultant post "Locked", ie visible only to members of this circle, ie, a heap of bots. no actual human will ever see it.

[how] can i avoid this? how can i manually allow any/all posts / replies / boosts / shares that i do from this circle, be visible across all the fediverse?

when circles comprise actual human accounts, this baked-in Friendica privacy concept makes sense. it is however actively unhelpful, indeed plain obstructive, for the specific case of a bot circle.

thx.

🤞 🤞 🤞
