So tell me, how do you feel about TikTok in the US now opening ways for systems like Palantir and others that "assist" ICE to get access to your user data? Allowing the US to do what they accused China to do – surveillance – when avoiding exactly that was the original stated reason for the whole fight?

Friendly reminder that Mastodon, et al is federated, which means you almost certainly won't see every reply on a thread.
Let's say you're reading a post from "reasonable.domain". And someone from "cesspool.domain" replies to it. If your instance blocked "cesspool.domain", you won't see that reply.
This effect minimizes the appearance of harm. It can be a blessing, but it also means you won't always see the problems inherent on these platforms.
#gnuplot was one of the very first tools I used for looking at data
it was 1995 and I was doing my first job (year out between school and uni) and the place had sunOS 4 workstations with 1-bit high-resolution monochrome displays iirc
the unix systems were locked down so there was no python or anything ... just fortran f77 and shell and gnuplot
there was a Windows 3.11 based option with Microcal Origin but that couldn't handle much data volume
(those constraints led me to prototype a linux-based data analysis workstation)

Liebes Fediverse! Ich hatte im schulischen Rahmen schon mehrfach Zeitzeugen zu Gast: Holocaustüberlebende, politisch Verfolgte aus der ehem. DDR, usw.
Nun suche in Kontakt zu Menschen, deren Eltern(-teil) Täter*innen zB. in der Nazi-Tötungsmaschinierie war(en) UND die sich kritisch damit und mit der damit verbundenen Familiengeschichte auseinandergesetzt haben.
Habt Ihr mir da Namen oder Tipps, wen ich da anfragen könnte?
Gerne mal boosten! Und: Danke vorab dafür!
We're excited to announce the release of Gitea 1.25.4! We strongly recommend all users upgrade to this version, as it includes important security fixes, numerous bug fixes, and overall stability improvements.

Earlier today, @rose_alibi and I were talking about how shitty Microsoft stuff is.
Now, Outlook and other major Microsoft products seem to have completely shit the bed across the world. I can't send any emails for work!
I hope copilot went rogue and ate some important servers of theirs or something
I really love and relate to this song. Have been Jasmin for many years and love her stuff.

I hope work on this project continues. At a predicted cost of around $100, most people could probably afford one.

Today marks 7 months of unemployment and I am very much down to the wire.
I am a full-stack & backend web developer, fluent in TypeScript, with experience building data-focused applications and both SQLite and Postrges databases.
I’m located in the northeast United States and have experience working and successfully collaborating with small, remote teams.
Boosts are appreciated. 🙏

Right now, if I had to choose a single year to revert back to, it'd probably be 1997.
If I could take a couple of the modern conveniences of now without the stupid bits and just flop back to then...
Oh yeah,
if you're annoyed that the models can't predict where the storm will go,
you can thank Trump, Musk, and the Republican administration for cutting back weather monitoring for the past year.
And yeah, the models aren't going to be more accurate for a few years to come.

Today, I installed my first WiFi 7 access point, a Ubiquiti U7 Pro. Though WiFi7 is mostly going to waste here, with the internet only being 200 Mbps symmetric, and not a lot of LAN transfers that require a ton of speed, in this house, I unfortunately can't run Ethernet to most things in the location I want them to be, without having the location of the SFP changed, which I am tempted to do. I was hoping to improve the situation a bit, but this seems to not be happening.
I've been using a U6 Mesh at the far end of the house from this access point to both act as a WiFi extender and Ethernet bridge, because I get better performance going WiFi to Ethernet than WiFi direct, especially in terms of jitter and latency, plus I am connecting a couple of devices that don't have their own WiFi to the network this way.
I have a small 1Gbps PoE switch powering the access point and providing Ethernet ports for those devices.
Previously, I had been meshing the U6 Mesh with a U6 Light, which is only 2x2 on 5 gHz, and is limited to 80 mHz channel bandwidth. Ideally, I'd like to mesh over 6 gHz at 320 mHz, but without buying a second U7 Pro, I can't do that.
I was hoping to use 160 mHz for the link on 5 gHz, at the very least, which I have done successfully before on another Ubiquiti setup, but for whatever reason, the remote AP is stuck at 40 mHz, which is noticeably bottlenecking things, especially in the upstream direction. Channel bandwidth is controlled by the parent, which is set at 160 mHz, so why does it insist on hanging around at 40?
I HATE WIFI! I HATE IT SO MUCH!
I will probably upgrade the two U6 Pro's at home to U7 Pros when I get back, though, because they have 10g/2.5g/1g Ethernet, and I want to get stuff past the 1Gbps cap for local transfers at least. It's far too easy to saturate a 1Gbps connection these days, even over WiFi. WiFi7 can provide significantly more throughput than 1Gbps allows, even to a single client, so time to upgrade the infrastructure to support it.
Using iperf3 on my phone, I get 940 Mb/sec in both directions on either 5 or 6 gHz over the U7 Pro talking to an Ethernet-connected machine. The bottleneck, in this case, is actually the 1Gbps Ethernet on that machine, and the switch it's connected to.
The actual wireless link rate of my phone is currently 2.4 Gbps in both directions, as I am only about 8 feet from the access point, so I should see significantly more throughput than that if not for the 1Gbps Ethernet bottleneck.
And, as I understand it, the WiFi chip on iPhones is not actually capable of 320 mHz channel bandwidth, so I could be linking at 4.8 Gbps, in theory, using something else.
None of this matters given the current network infrastructure here, really.
I still hate WiFi, though.
Starting tomorrow, you will be able (on linux without cross-compilation) to install and use the Rust GCC backend directly from rustup! To do so:
