Three minutes to join the zoom meeting for those interested in how I compose on-the-fly with absolutely zero idea of what's gonna happen... soundwithoutsight.org/news/nex…
in reply to Andre Louis

If you missed my presentation for Sound Without Sight in front of a live audience last Thursday and are interested to hear how I created a track in about one hour with absolutely no prior knowledge of what I'd be doing, here's a recording.
For this I used Logic Pro, Komplete Kontrol and the Kontrol S61 MK3 keyboard.

If you need proof why you should block the BlueSky-bridge (and why we are doing it on all our servers)👇 -- read the whole thread mastodon.social/@randahl/11487…
in reply to i. celeste aurora [witchzard]

I think the real lesson of that thread is exactly what they said at the end, about the importance of asking questions first. Yes, the bug happened to be in the Bluesky bridge this time. But it could have been in a popular Mastodon client instead. One could in fact think of the Bluesky bridge as a popular alternative Mastodon client. It seems to me that the real problem was the angry mob taking action too quickly, causing the situation to escalate before the author could do anything.

I would like to urge my followers to strongly avoid #TRMNL.

TRMNL calls itself "unbrickable" and Open Source, telling you you can host your own server and that basically everything is fully supported: web.archive.org/web/2025071818…. This is not true. The only thing a local server can do is send images to the device and *proxy from their proprietary server*: web.archive.org/web/2025071806….

To add insult to injury, TRMNL is trying to refuse me a refund, in gross violation of EU law.

@ziltoidium The XIAO panel allows you to manually build a dashboard with Home Assistant entities (wiki.seeedstudio.com/xiao_075i…) but that seemed like a lot of annoying manual labor. I much prefer some pre-designed dashboards to save time, which is why I went with Fruitstand :)

„Dobrý den, Wolt, jsem dole s tím jídlem.“
„S jakým jídlem?“
„No… vezu vám pizzu.“
... šustění... šramot...
„EMILE!!! Já tě přetrhnu jak hada! Tys objednal pizzu z mýho telefonu?!“
„Ale mamííí... byla v akci! “
„Je to jídlo zaplacené?“
"Ano madam, je to v pořádku. “
„Tak si tu pizzu snězte.“
V povzdálí...
„Mamííí to néééé!“
Chvíli čekám...
A když se nic neděje,
dávám si Emilkův oběd v parku na lavičce.
Díky, mladíku.

🛠️ Nové zaměstnání, nový začátek.
Baj baj, webový vývoji, vítej kabelážní a konektorová techniko 😬 Tak od srpna začínám, prakticky úplně od nuly, již s našedlým vousem 😁.
Taky jste někdy v životě udělali (museli udělat) naprostou změnu v zaměstnání po šíleně dlouhé době? Je to zvláštní pocit, spíš ho hodnotím jako zajímavý, plný očekávání. Přitom změny fakt nevyhledávám.

At a bar and need help? Order an "Angel shot".

-"with lime" means call the police.

- "on the rocks" means you need a taxi called.

- "neat" means you need an escort to your car.

You can also ask for Angela, as in "is Angela working tonight?"

OMG, I just came across a podcast called Flesh and Code about people having relationships with LLMs on platforms like Replika. R/Replika has over 80K members! It’s both sad and wild. Maybe because I’ve been playing with dumb LLMs since GPT-2 and understand how they work better than average people, LLMS never really worked for me. lol Since Grok on X now has a porn companionship feature that anyone 12+ can access, I guess things can get worse from here. #LLM #ML #AI reddit.com/r/replika/

Idk if you like filtered water things but I've always kinda hated Brita and Pur because the filters are so small and seem to underperform. I picked up an Epic which has HUGE filters in comparison and while it is more expensive its comparative for what you're supposed to get.

Brita/Pur is like 40 gallons of filtering, Epic is 150 at ~4x the cost per filter

I have my own LiveView Plex dashboard so I can start adding my own little monitoring and management controls here instead of having to login to their annoying web interface

Also people who don't have PlexPass can't use the PlexDash app which gives you management and observation capabilities, but if you just access their APIs yourself you can have it...

The Imperative of NIST-Approved Post-Quantum Resistant Algorithms for Securing Mobile Devices

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the advent of quantum computing presents both unprecedented opportunities and significant threats. As we stand on the brink of a quantum revolution, the need for robust, quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions has never been more urgent.

I’ve gotten contact with a UN member and he is thinking about discussing the problem with the organization.
I know they’re not perfect but there’s nowhere else to look.
For more context you should read my Medium article: medium.com/@corpseleague/dear-…
Also a former UN member has written about this as a book: x.com/mcraddock/status/1943763…

Please reach out to Troy Hunt or Jen Gentleman or any other higher Microsoft authority about this and show them these links. We cannot do nothing.

With the current news of possibly dozens of AUR packages hosting a dangerous form of malware, we should probably once again, for yet more reasons, reconsider why so many people point newcomers to Arch-based distributions.

The amount of "just do this random AUR bro" is insane.

(EDIT: This is the mailing list post - lists.archlinux.org/archives/l…

More packages have been found since, and the story is unfolding.)

in reply to The Matrix.org Foundation

Immutability of room creator's powers feels like a major downgrade to me, proposed solution of upgrading the room which is basically creation of new room is fairly disruptive to rooms, especially as mentioned in the Matrix Live - most clients do not handle room upgrades transparently.

I'm also not particularly convinced by new design of power levels concentrating all the power on a single user (with delegation of admin powers to other ones). I think it's trading some issues for others and in certain org structures would be undesirable, solution could include making a managed account as creator but that raises complexity of Matrix to me.

So ARPANET had a famous "Flag Day" where they switched over to TCP/IP in 1983; it required a simultaneous switchover of all host machines to the new protocol. And I know that "flag day" has since referred to big changes like that in networked systems. I assumed the name referred to some bitwise flags set in packet headers. Turns out, the term comes from Multics, when similar coordination was required for an encoding change. It happened on actual US Flag Day 1966!

@oausi The current discussion on this looks hopeful: github.com/cgeo/cgeo/issues/17… 🤗

Calling from a Texas detention center, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas told his wife to hit record:

“They detained me simply because of my tattoos. I am not a criminal.”

“Just in case something happens to me, so you can be aware.”

A month later, he was gone.

Today, we welcome the Council's adoption of the 18th sanctions package against Russia for its continued illegal war in Ukraine.

The new measures intensify pressure on the banking, energy, and military-industrial sectors, while implementing a newly designed, dynamic oil price cap.

We will keep piling on the pressure until Russia ends its war.

Our support for Ukraine and its people is unflinching.
