Erster #Warntag in der neuen Wohnung: Die Fenster sind deutlich besser schallisoliert, da man die Sirenen kaum hört 😅 ...und kam nicht früher auch noch ne Cell-Broadcast SMS?
[excuse this German-language post, this is targeted at the current German public discourse]
In mehrerern Gegenden Deutschlands gab es verheerende Hochwasser, und die Öffentlichkeit diskutiert deshalb
@Bubu ja stimmt, wurde auch immer anders angezeigt. Diesmal kam aber gar nix. Wobei jetzt seit 15 Minuten mein Mobilfunkempfang wieder komplett weg ist 😅
Zítra jdu poprvé zkusit vzít #kolo na nějakej real-deal výlet namísto drobných popojížděk. Vůbec netušim, co mě čeká, jestli to dám a jestli to dá kolo, ale kdo se bojí, chčije v síni!
Večer přemažu #Rockrider, nabiju powerbanku, pobalim hadry a na konci mě snad bude čekat zasloužený #pivo...
...anebo smrt :D
Vyrážím dopoledne, takže když někdo v okolí týhle trasy budete mít cestu, můžem pokecat (pokud někde nezabloudim :D )
Ja teda nechci nejak spekulovat, vnaset pochybnosti, nebo nedejboze neverit, ale neni vam divny, ze na vsech fotkach tady od Schmakera stoji? Jeste jsem ho nevidel jet. Vzdycky zastavka! On to kolo normalne tlaci, na hezkem miste se vyfoti a tlaci dal. To je jasny. ;)
To bys teda měl 😁. V těch Alpách jsem žral jak bagr, bez toho bych to nejspíš nedal. A když nebylo jídlo, nebo na to nebyl čas, tak energetické gely, tyčinky apod.
Oh yes, we know your truth, and I’m a feisty bitch. The same Julie Deden who runs CCB, and regularly tells women who are sexually assaulted that “they need to not make this a big deal because it could wreck his life.” His, fucking, life? What about her life? The same Julie Deden who has been asked, multiple times, to step down and has refused? Sick bitch who should not be in such a high place of power. Julie Deden you should be ashamed to show your vile face in public let alone speak about supporting blind folks. nfb.social/@nationsblind/11518…

@cublanco @tardis Sure, everyone is entitled to make a joke, and perspectives very on what others think is funny. It’s just in my line of work, I have to educate others about potential pitfalls of what they say potentially affecting their future. That’s all I was trying to do here. Have a wonderful day.
@technocounselor @cublanco @tardis I. Agree completely, if we were on facebook, twitter, and I was using my real name. Employers can easily look that up. For the record, my sense of humor is very dark and sarcastic, so not everyone will find it funny. So you’re right, I would put far less on facebook or even on a mastodon that uses my real name.
Don't be that paranoid, you are not entitled to give social media to employers, at all. So no idea why we'd even raise that up. It's not like we tag people or anything, this is fedi, if someone don't like it, there are plenty of choices. Every opinion is valid. And I don't know if any of you realise it, but people go to fedi to run off from popular social media, so there that. That was an unnecessary, if valid concern. Like I said, I am not dismissing, but we're all free to share. I created this because I don't care about the bosses of people. I do my job, you do your job, as long as that's a thing, no one really cares. Plus, let's be real, blind orgs suck, they probably have good stuff, yes, but if there are bad personnel, then the whole thing is caboom, untrustworthy, like who tf cares, even?
I should've mentioned created my account, but I got distracted. Bleh. Also, bad people deserve a little bit of torture, the slow kind, that life will give them, so whether we joke or not, life has a way of dishing it out, in the doubles sometimes.
@technocounselor @cublanco @tardis Also if an employer is doing a Google search for Kaitlyn Amira as part of a background check, they probably already know more about her than anyone should be comfortable with. Not her actual name, and how'd they find her Mastodon?
Um, masto public posts are very public. Well, you really can't google me, for example. Google here prevents me for example, to look at people's backgrounds, or anything about them. So yeah. Also, everyone does background checks, and as long as someone isn't an ass and harming people in actuality, I doubt an employer will jump on them. Masto stuff shows on Google if you know what to look for, but yeah.
This is a feature that I did not notice when I was doing my iOS 26 beta testing with VoiceOver. In settings, accessibility, VoiceOver, typing, you now have the ability to change under cursor output, change the way the cursor is announced when moving past text. The default setting is to announce text as the cursor passes, and the new option which I quite like for Windows screen reader users in particular, is to announce text to the right of the cursor. This means that in the new setting, you will not hear the same text twice when moving to the right and then back to the left when moving by character or word, does make the text reading experience much cleaner. By the way, this option has been available in macOS VoiceOver settings for quite a long time, glad to see it come to iOS.

@bagder@mastodon.social Regardless of the size of your code static analysis is allowed no more than 10 false positives. Coverity needs to withdraw that update and fix the bugs.
I know that is a hard bar (there are many projects more complex than curl, or so I would expect, many are much larger in any case), but too many false positives means you just mark everything as a false positive. I dropped all support for one tool because I finally tracked down a bug and right next to the line at fault was the comment shutting off the static analyzer - which is to saw we no longer trusted that tool anyway and so just shut it up without investigation so there was no point. By keeping maximum rule at 10 I'm able to confidently say we have investigated every false positive and we overall still trust the tool.
@bluGill I wish we had that say about what Coverity should do and not. As a user of a free service I can of course stop using it if I don't like it and that's about it and I bet Coverity care very little about that...
It was a surprise and a great honour to be called to the stage at #ELC Europe 2025 to receive a community contribution award from the hands of Tim Bird.
Thank you Tim, the program committee and all the people who have worked behind the scenes to organize ELC Europe 2025. You are too numerous to be listed individually here, but all of you deserve acknowledgment.
Totally don't email legal@branch.io asking about the broken contractual obligation to open source Nova Launcher. That would be sooooo bad to do!!! Don't mass email the corpo who bought out Nova and directly killed it, think of the poor CEO of branch (who also said they were going to open source Nova if they lost all full time devs) definitely don't do that. Totally not. That would be awful. To see one of the most powerful android launchers get open sourced. Wouldn't that just be terrible? Who wouldn't want a piece of Android history and the life's work of a small band of devs to be left in obscurity...
I've grown a bit tired of the web filling up with curl command line examples showing use of superfluous -X's. I'm putting code where my mouth is. Starting with curl 7.45.
1/3 "V pléne v stredu [Tomáš Zdechovský] hovoril, že miliardy z eurofondov miznú v projektoch, ktoré neslúžia slovenským ľuďom, ale nezodpovedným politikom a ich kamošom. „Kontrolné orgány, ktoré majú stáť na strate poctivých, sú paralyzované. Tam kde kedysi padali stovky žalôb, dnes padajú sotva dve ročne,“ dodal."
V rovnaký deň, keď bolo v Štrasburgu najviac novinárov kvôli Správe o stave únie, sa poslanci Európskeho parlamentu zaoberali zneužívaním európskych peňazí aj stavom právneho štátu na Slovensku.
2/3 "Na jeho slová reagoval nezaradený poslanec Erik Kaliňák zo Smeru, podľa ktorého sú závery misie plné lží a okrem iného obvinil českého europoslanca z politickej kampane na úkor Slovenska."
3/3 "Zdechovský Kaliňákovi povedal, že sa o ňom v Česku „pomerne často“ hovorí v bezpečnostných službách. „Vaše návštevy ruskej ambasády a utekanie zadným vchodom, či vaša spolupráca s portálom Voice of Europe, ktorý patrí k proruskej dezinformačnej scéne….ukazuje to na úpadok demokracie a kultúry pri človeku, ktorý by mal radiť premiérovi,“

@António Domingues Thanks!🙏 (You're located in Dresden too? Cool, hello from "here" then. I then and now return to this particular place because I like that architecture quite a bit...)
To jsem vám nenapsal. Když jsem dneska odcházel domů z práce, na Masarykovom náměstí byl volební meeting SPD. Slyšel jsem Okamuru, viděl jsem Radima Fialu a Zuzanu Majerovou. Vajíčka nelétala. Účastníci taky měli dost práce sami se sebou, aby se při té míře nachcanosti udrželi vůbec na nohou. To byla podívaná.
As it happens, we still use CVS in our operating system project (there are reasons for doing this, but migration to git would indeed make sense).
While working on our project, we occasionally have to do a full checkout of the whole codebase, which is several gigabytes. Over time, this operation has gotten very, very, very slow - I mean "2+ hours to perform a checkout" slow.
This was getting quite ridiculous. Even though it's CVS, it shouldn't crawl like this. A quick build of CVS with debug symbols and sampling the "cvs server" process with Linux perf showed something peculiar: The code was spending the majority of the time inside one function.
So what is this get_memnode() function? Turns out this is a support function from Gnulib that enables page-aligned memory allocations. (NOTE: I have no clue why CVS thinks doing page-aligned allocations is beneficial here - but here we are.)
The code in question has support for three different backend allocators: 1. mmap 2. posix_memalign 3. malloc
Sounds nice, except that both 1 and 3 use a linked list to track the allocations. The get_memnode() function is called when deallocating memory to find out the original pointer to pass to the backend deallocation function: The node search code appears as:
for (c = *p_next; c != NULL; p_next = &c->next, c = c->next) if (c->aligned_ptr == aligned_ptr) break;
The get_memnode() function is called from pagealign_free():
This is an O(n) operation. CVS must be allocating a huge number of small allocations, which will result in it spending most of the CPU time in get_memnode() trying to find the node to remove from the list.
Why should we care? This is "just CVS" after all. Well, Gnulib is used in a lot of projects, not just CVS. While pagealign_alloc() is likely not the most used functionality, it can still end up hurting performance in many places.
The obvious easy fix is to prefer the posix_memalign method over the other options (I quickly made this happen for my personal CVS build by adding tactical #undef HAVE_MMAP). Even better, the list code should be replaced with something more sensible. In fact, there is no need to store the original pointer in a list; a better solution is to allocate enough memory and store the pointer before the calculated aligned pointer. This way, the original pointer can be fetched from the negative offset of the pointer passed to pagealign_free(). This way, it will be O(1).
I tried to report this to the Gnulib project, but I have trouble reaching gnu.org services currently. I'll be sure to do that once things recover.
Took a tumble on the road today, swerving to avoid an ebike delivery guy that cut me off. I'm fine - scraped an elbow, and I think I'm going to have a pretty good bruise on my tailbone, but I successfully avoided the guy.
I know a bunch of people who think delivery e-bikers are some sort of menace, but the truth of it is that Toronto's bike lanes are terrible. Far too narrow, people parking in them and blocking them all the time. Half a lane wide, in place where there's four lanes for cars.
With 9/11 fast approaching, I often reflect on the events of that day on each anniversary, and one of the amazing things that came out of that day was a flight that landed in Gander Newfoundland Canada where the community of Gander step forward and made sure everyone on the flight was well taken care of. A musical was made about this, though it's title escapes me, and I might try and see if I can watch it tomorrow.
I well recall that day as well. One thing I remember the most is when the station I was listening to around the time the towers collapsed, which normally played Top 40 music, quickly began playing songs like Imagine by John Lennon and Only Time by Enya. They then began simulcasting programming from their sister NewsTalk station.
@kjsapergia I'll never forget barely being awake, and walking into my roommates room, he was watching the news. They were still figuring out what happened with the first plane crash, when we all saw the second plane hit live on TV, well let's just say I wasn't slightly awake after that, I was jolted awake, and stayed glued to the television all day, and hardly ate anything until later that night. I was in disbelief
Most people do not understand that there is no Canadian federal government Return to Office, #RTO, rather it is return to a building where you compete with everyone else to try to find a vacant desk to work at, because people no longer have offices at work, they are at their homes, and there are actually not enough desks for the number of workers being sent back to the office. The media seems oblivious to this fact.
I can't get the Z-Wave ZWA-2 device to pass through to a bhyve VM where I'm running Home Assistant because it only allows full PCI pass through of a device or USB controller. It does get exposed as a serial device which I can sorta pass through to byhyve, but it doesn't really work.
I was able to get a console on the HASS VM and figure out which serial device was matching com2 that I was connecting into it and I could connect from the host and pass through some ascii chars back and forth, but when HASS tried to talk to the device it kept saying there were errors talking to it. Very odd. Lights were blinking on the device though confirming communication of some sort was happening. I looked at the Z-Wave-JS code and saw it was using 115200,8n,0 essentially so that's what I used... no dice.
Someone on the FreeBSD forums suggested using a virtual null modem device inbetween and then using socat to connect to the other end of the virtual null modem cable, but that didn't work either.
However, I can configure HASS to talk to zwave-js-server running in a FreeBSD Jail as you can custom configure the websocket connection to point to anywhere instead of localhost. That did seem to work! It found the device and even did a firmware update on it. So it "works".
I need to clean up this setup because I'm literally running it as root at the moment and I'm using a git clone of their master branch 🥲
Now I just need to figure out how to ensure I can have a consistent serial device name in /dev so this doesn't break in the future.
Once that's sorted I'll have to write a blog post about it
Yesterday G and I took her sister to the yearly Mexican Concert, at the nNational University's cultural center. It was, as usual, awesome, but for me the special treat was listening to one of my favorite orchestral pieces live for the first time.
