How does one go about begging for money from strangers online to feed your kids? I am out of options. The gig work I was using to keep us alive after being unemployed for 6 months has dried up. We are down to $20. My car will be repossessed soon. I'll lose my house in the spring when I can't pay the taxes. The electricity and water and phone will soon be cut off. I have never had so much trouble getting hired in my entire career. I don't understand it. I'm tremendously talented and have decades of experience, but all anyone wants is LLMs, the one thing I'm not experienced with. I'm worried I might not be alive much longer.

EDIT:
My PayPal link is paypal.me/AaronHosford

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help, whether it's a dollar or a boost. I don't have a target right now. Just trying to have food for dinner tomorrow. I'll make another post soon if I don't find a way to get some income first.

I think if OpenSSL devs ever faced with a set of alt implementation choices, with say one better for security and code clarity (can overlap, imo) on one hand, versus say perf on the other, they should pick bias to former.

since ssh/sshd is one of the biggest security SPOFs in modern computing. a massive pinata for black hats

so I *hope* thats why their perf is non-ideal

Kdo získá digitalizaci stavebního řízení?

... Bartoš se snažil o to, aby do budoucna nešlo dělat vendor-lock-in; aby si jedna firma nemohla privatizovat celé ministerstvo tak jako to dělá OKsystem na MPSV. Piráti protlačovali otevřené technologie namísto proprietárních. Jenže tím, tou transparentností, drželi cenu dole, čili šlapali jiným po penězovodech. ...

Our refresh release, Endeavour Neo, is available

It was three months ago that our fifth-anniversary release, Endeavour, was released and with the upstream changes, we released this refresh ISO.

I know I mentioned in the Endeavour release announcement that the Endeavour release name would be a one-off release name that wouldn't be followed up by a Neo and Nova release. But we decided to name this

It appears the Dutch government has decided to greenlight the EU plan to make 'big tech' force-install software on all European phones that will automatically report any questionable photos in your private chat messages to the police. This is not actually about protecting the children. This is about removing the very possibility of private communications. We can tell because governments have exempted themselves from this legislation (!). Here's something I wrote earlier: berthub.eu/articles/posts/end-…

this latest edition of "Android team posting nothing but Ws for adopting Rust" is super important because it identifies that:

*you don't have to actually rewrite all your old unsafe C/C++ code to get the benefits of adopting safe languages, in terms of reducing vulnerabilites*

because they identify that most bugs are in new/changed code (with exponential decay!), so if you preferentially write new code in a safe language, your vulnerabilities crater even though most of your code is still unsafe!

Interesting to read about this new adaptation of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Although... am I the only one who remembers ABC radio's Doctor Who parody 'Doctor Poo', and his epic adventure involving 20,000 *Legs* Under the Sea? (It was piloted by the evil Captain Kneemoss - so called because he had moss on his knees).

Just me?

George Lucas got the idea for Princess Leia's iconic "space buns" from Mexican revolutionary women. Specifically Clara de la Rocha, a total badass.

Clara's descendant recounted:

"She crossed a river on horseback…and was able to take out a power station in order to allow the rebel forces to attack during night without being seen."

Just like Leia, eh?

Is there any chance we can encourage you to trend #NVIDIA when that's the company you mean, please? I know what their NASDAQ handle is, but #NVDA is much more widely known as the name of the screen reader we make and the #NVDA hashtag is very widely used for the screen reader. It will save both our communities polluting each other's feeds. If you'd like to find out more about the screen reader, our website is nvaccess.org/ - Thank you!
