Vosí dvojníci staří 33 milionů let obelstili i dávné ptáky Vědci z Katedry zoologie Přírodovědecké fakulty Univerzity Karlovy objevili fosilii, která ukazuje, že přesná mimeze (tedy nápodoba) vos pestřenkami se vyvinula mnohem dříve, než se dosud předpokládalo –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ a nebyla formována…

👌 Jestli se něco Rusům nedá upřít, tak je to fakt, že umí vždycky překvapit. Například tím, že bitevník Su-25, o který včera přišli při údajné "nehodě", ve skutečnosti sestřelil jeho vlastní parťák neřízenými raketami určenými k ničení pozemních cílů.
💯 Rusku tímto gratulejeme a přejeme jim mnoho dalších takových pilotů, co už ráno sedají do kokpitu vylití jak vázy.

This comment on the Lobsters discussion of the recent Ink & Switch article about malleable software: lobste.rs/c/mqixy2 expresses one of my misgivings about depending on generative AI as a tool in one's workflow, for coding or otherwise:

> if we all need heavy GPUs to run local LLMs, many of our old devices are rendered obsolete, and giving new life to old devices is another reason for malleable software.

Obviously depending on constant access to a remote LLM is also problematic.

Welcome to the RB family, Aegis 🥳

apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.b…

Aegis Authenticator is a free, secure and open source app to manage your 2-step verification tokens for your online services.

Thanks to the help of the Aegis team, the app is now finally RB – expect the green shield coming up in a few hours :awesome:

in reply to hisold

@hisold That was exactly the reasoning I approached the Aegis team with 🤣 And yes, I'm with you there. And we try that. It's just not exactly trivial for each app to get it RB, and also depends on the frameworks used. In general, apps written in Java/Kotlin are easy to RB (with some exceptions), Flutter is a little tricky, React can become a headache, and so on. We're doing our best – and we hope to reach 50% coverage soon™ (currently we're at 47.5%).

Northern lights may be visible in these 18 US states tonight and over the weekend
"The northern lights could put on a show tonight and through the weekend as ongoing geomagnetic storm conditions driven by turbulent space weather may push aurora farther south than usual."

Sabrina Carpenter's new album cover is causing a lot of outraged, prudish reactions. Worse, people are using feminism as their excuse.

But her campy sexpot act is good for women — and feminism is not helped by rejecting humor or lust.

🇩🇪Den EU-finanzierten DNS-Dienst #DNS4EU kann ich nicht empfehlen, weil Zugriffe protokolliert werden - bei "schädlichen Inhalten" sogar mitsamt IP-Adresse. techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-…

Es gibt gute nichtstaatliche Alternativen: privacy-handbuch.de/handbuch_9…

in reply to Patrick Breyer

🇬🇧I can't recommend the EU-funded DNS service #DNS4EU because access is logged. When you override warnings to access "harmful websites" they even log your IP address. techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-…

There are government-free services that do not log: privacyguides.org/en/dns

Update: I understand now the IP address is kept for 24 hours to prevent the confirmation prompt from showing again.

lol, i too have this problem. somewhere down i believe that if i read the manual page in some different light, some understanding might dawn on me (NATed peer should matter?) but i have yet to make sense of it.

wgpka interval
Set the interval of persistent keepalive packets in seconds. The default, zero, disables these. They can be used to maintain connectivity to a peer otherwise blocked to unsolicited traffic by an intermediate firewall or NAT device.
