Buenos días desde la Administración Pública.

Martes que sabe a lunes después de 4 días sin trabajar. Por suerte no hay mucho acumulado. Antes de irme estuve revisando el tema de la estrategia de radón, que por lo que veo se ha aprobado en Consello: xunta.gal/notas-de-prensa/-/no…

As those of you who follow me unfortunately know, I track the $DJT meme stock. I'm expecting a YOOOOGE pump in the morning. It looks like it's been manipulated all along, so whether or not he goes down tomorrow, it's a last-ditch opportunity to project strength.

I think the smart money gets out of the trade by midday. If he loses, it's going to zero, so if it's clearly going badly for him, it may drop so hard that they halt trading. Again. Could be a bellwether.

in reply to Matt May

I think once a meme stock is always a meme stock. There may be a temp drop, but it’ll be back up regardless of whether he loses or not. Unless, of course, DJT will decide to quiet down and go back to his golf course.


RIP Quincy Jones.

Legendary music producer behind hits from Sinatra to Michael Jackson.

I know I'm alone in this, but I think "Billie Jean" was a more iconic and transformative Quincy Jones song than "Thriller." First time we saw the Michael Jackson moonwalk!

Agreed. Thriller is honestly pretty meh, outside of being a song to play at Halloween. Billie Jean, like Smooth Criminal and Dirty Diana, is a song to rock out to year round.
in reply to Raccoon 🏳️‍🌈

The real genius of “Thriller” is that it is 4 minutes of warnings about horrible scary monsters and then bang: fooled you, all that was a clever ruse to get you to hold me tight, kiss me, I will take care of you, protect you, love you, thrill you, this is a pop song, I am the King of Pop, what were you expecting?

But Billie Jean is a perfect song. And identifiable immediately after the first kick and snare of the intro.




There’s a dirty Trump trick you need to look out for. He used it in 2020 to try to overturn the election, and he’s going to do it again. But it doesn’t work if you know it’s coming.

Watch out for Trump to exploit something elections experts call the “red mirage” to prematurely declare victory before all the votes are counted.

You see, in almost every election, Republicans appear to take an early lead. That’s the red mirage.

Then that lead gets smaller throughout… instagram.com/p/DB9oGT9py7R/?u…

🚨🚨🚨 ARIZONA VOTERS — It’s been reported that thousands of early voters in Pima County returned only the first page of their two-page ballot. This is important because Prop 139 for Abortion Access is on page 2. Please don’t make the same mistake when you vote in person. Please share with AZ folks.

So do they use Zoom, Google Meet, or something else? Just curious.

Am I, a Rust programmer, a hypocrite for asking if -Wextra is useful, as a C programmer as well?
in reply to Federico Mena Quintero

My personal list, in descending order of usefulness, goes -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic -Wwrite-strings and maybe also -Wconversion -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes.

-Wconversion catches bugs that nothing else catches but it also complains about a whole bunch of perfectly fine and idiomatic constructs. The prototypes ones used to be really helpful when dealing with code that was written pre-1990, but nowadays they mainly help you find functions that you forgot to mark "static".

I'm really enjoying researching information by accessing online databases from my local public library. Having free access to all of this information is absolutely amazing. Even if you don't think that you would ever need your public library, getting a library card is worth it just for accessing the online databases that they will likely offer to patrons. Not to mention that I used Libby for the first time for listening to an audio book and it was very accessible.
in reply to Eden Linnea

@EdenLinnea I'm sure that different library systems provide access to different databases, depending on which ones they choose to subscribe to. In my case, I was using the Gale Health and Wellness Resource Center.
in reply to David Goldfield

@EdenLinnea Here's a list of databases from the Philadelphia Public Library. This is a much larger collection than the one offered from my own library so, as I wrote earlier, what your library offers will likely differ from this list.

in reply to David Goldfield

Couldn’t agree more about the library and if you get stuck there is somebody savvy to help you out usually.


TIL: the practical minimum RAM requirement for OpenWrt is now 64 MB. openwrt.org/supported_devices/… I remember when 8 MB of RAM was adequate for a basic Linux desktop. For that matter, I'm pretty sure my first Linux install in 1996 was in 4 MB of RAM, but that might have been too tight for X11 in practice.
in reply to Matt Campbell

Saw the following on the comment thread where I learned about the 64 MB RAM requirement for OpenWrt (where I also commented):

> These days I mostly write code for systems with 256 KiB of RAM, so struggling with 64 MiB seems a bit excessive.

Just now, I wish I had chosen to work on that kind of embedded software. I guess I still could, at least as a side project. I know I'm doing important work where I'm at though, even if I have to tolerate the unconstrained excess of Electron and the like.

Random linux question: I have my command history, in Linux, but not a record of command outputs. Now that text is as close to free as makes no difference, should we not store both? Command executed, standard-out resulting, all stored?

Given screamingly fast IO and effectively infinite drive space, at least as far as text is concerned, it's sort of remarkable how much useful information we just accidentally throw away these days, how little we routinely save.

When I regularly used screen(1) I would set the scrollback buffer to Really Large, and would peruse it extensively. It was nice to be able to search in it.
in reply to Federico Mena Quintero

@federicomena I've done the same for years and I still use screen(1). My uptime is usually measured in months, interrupted by the occasional kernel upgrade. A terminal scrollback for three months of output is a couple of megs. It's possible to write it to disk automatically.

Keeping this habit has made me more cautious about running commands that might generate a lot of output spew, like cat'ing a file before checking its size. I'm not positive this is an improvement.

One cool thing about Castro is we haven't added a useless AI feature that gets in your way every time you try to do anything.

Another cool thing about castro is that for the most part, your marketing sticks to talking about what your own app does well rather than running down other developers. Please don't change that.

New: A Conceptual Model of ATProto and ActivityPub

You might want to know a little bit more about how #Bluesky and #atproto works, without needing to know all the technical details. This is a high level overview of how to think about how atproto works, and how it differs from #ActivityPub.

It is also a reflection on the concepts of decentralisation and federation, and what they bring to both the #fediverse and the #atmosphere

Hello everyone!

I write my bachelor's thesis about Mastodon as an alternative social network and how its users perceive the platform.

I would be greateful if you would particpate in my survey:
umfragen.uni-paderborn.de/inde…

It only takes 10-15 minutes and would help me a lot.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

In case you want to support me, you can repost the access link, which would also help me.

Thank you!

in reply to Paula

This Questions are problematic, I think:

* Mastodon’s actions against any harmful content are sufficient.

* Mastodon’s actions against the spread of fake news are sufficient.

For this, the admins/ moderators are responsible and not Mastodon.
