Hey so the AppImage guy pushes anti-Wayland conspiracy theories and follows a known Nazi piece of shit. Just in case the technical arguments weren’t winning you over, it’s fash tech

Linus Tech Tips: There was a recent thing from a major tech company where developers were asked to say how many lines of code they wrote, and if it wasn’t enough, they were terminated. And there was someone here who was extremely upset about that approach to measuring productivity because it means nothing.

Linus Torvalds: Oh yeah, no, you shouldn’t even be upset at that point. That’s just incompetence. Anybody who thinks that’s a valid metric is too stupid to work at a tech company.

LTT: You do know who you just said that about, right?

Linus Torvalds: No.

LTT: Oh. Uh… he was a prominent figure in the improved efficiency of the U.S. Government recently.

Linus Torvalds: Oh, apparently I was spot-on.

🛡️ Level: Paranoia+

📱 Hlavní profil: jen FOSS aplikace. Čistota, minimalismus.
🛠️ Pracovní profil: WhatsApp, navigace, sportovní apky — prostě věci, které by mi hlavní profil zbytečně „zašpinily“.

💰 Bankovní profil: jen banky. Jo, mám na to celý profil. Ano, je to přesně tak extrémní, jak to zní.

A teď jen čekám, jak dlouho tohle digitální odříkání vydržím, než mě něco donutí založit čtvrtý profil… nebo to prostě prdnu všechno zpátky na hlavní. 🤣

Siempre que veo los changelogs de Apache no dejo de encontrar menciones a mod_md. Anoche busqué algo más sobre él... y parece que el readme me habla directamente a mí. Vamos a ver si podemos jubilar a certbot. github.com/icing/mod_md/blob/m…
in reply to modulux

yo también lo uso, pero creo que todo funciona automáticamente.

Es sorprendente como Apache httpd se considera como una antigualla, pero creo que mod_md llegó antes que el equivalente para nginx.

Caddy, Traefik y la última ola creo que lo traían de serie, claro.

Ahora sólo me falta esto que han anunciado de challenge por DNS perpetua, sin tener que renovar registros DNS.

¡Apache httpd siempre, muerte a la modernidad!

On the rails again… #Interrail #CrossBorderRail

Today, Wendy the DBJUNGLESKOG and I are heading off on an 11-hour 1,600km slog through France on a couple of TGV Duplexes, going, via Paris Gare de Lyon and Paris Gare de l’Est, to Karlsruhe Hbf.

Today’s Itinerary: trainlog.me/public/trip/557680…

On the way out towards Girona we pass through the new platforms at the as-yet-unopened Barcelona La Sagrera station. And there we saw some Renfe Series 103 trains parked up, as the station is currently being used as a depot for High-Speed trains. These 103s will become relevant next Thursday and Friday during the second and third day of the #ICEAgeChallenge

One of the absolute pleasures of travelling by train on this route is being able to do the section between Perpignan and Narbonne, especially on a Duplex train.

On this section, you have a whole load of marshes and salt flats as well as a couple of larger lakes that create some delightful scenery, and the train line goes right through the middle of some of these marshes. The main road is a little further to the east, and much further away from the edge of these lakes, so you get a unique view from the train.

If you catch the right time of year you will see hundreds, if not thousands, of flamingos on the lakes. This time there were only a few dozen.

Sadly, we must give up some of the nicer things in life in the name of progress, and the Ligne Nouvelle Montpellier-Perpignan is due to replace this as the main access to Spain from France, but not til the 2040s

Definitely worth going past during the daytime, or if you can swing it, during a sunset.

Another of the experiences that doesn’t get old, part of the ritual of this line that is the first I encounter on a trip, is when the train leaves Nîmes, and we hit the LGV Sud-Est, and the driver puts his hand forward and turns the speed up.

Today’s driver, Jean-Jacques, just got on the loudspeaker to wish us all a pleasant ride as we go at a leisurely 280km/h up the high speed line. Which I felt was a nice touch, as well as a bit of well-deserved bragging.

I am still amazed that I am on the top floor of a 200m long train the size of a small skyscraper on its side, that can travel at 300km/h as I listen to synthwave and tap away on a laptop. This never ceases to bring me a little joy, and it seems somewhat more real than the abstract feeling of flying point-to-point, where you can’t see anything but the land in th distance below you moving seemingly slowly.

AI slop is not only in security reports, but also in teams *handling* security reports:

‚The system owner finally relented: “to be honest, I asked ChatGPT and it said that what you said was wrong.”‘

To not waste experts any mote, let‘s fully automate this with chat AIs at both ends, leaving the humans to do something meaningful.

Tohle chcete takhle po ránu po otevření AlzaBoxu vidět...

Volám na podporu, tam místo člověka umělá demence. Po pěti minutách se konečně dostaneme k popisu problému.
Já: Otevřel jsem schránku v AlzaBoxu a je prázdná.
Alzee: Rozuměla jsem správně, že máte problém s otevřením schránky?
Já: Ne. Schránku jsem otevřel, ale je prázdná, chybí zboží.
Alzee: Rozuměla jsem správně, že máte problém s otevřením schránky?
Já: Do pr*ele už!
Alzee: Upozorňuji vás, že hovor je nahráván a tato nahrávka kolegy nepotěší.
Já: Tak mě na ně konečně spojte, ať mi můžou pomoci.

People who've done it, tell me true. Is getting married or having a baby really the happiest day of anyone's life? I mean, hopefully the day was a good one and everything went smoothly. And I can understand before it happens being very happy that it's going to happen and excitedly planning and looking forward to it, and afterwards being happy, but the actual day itself I imagine involves sweat, anxiety, and in the case of childbirth, pain.

Oh, neat. I don't think I am supposed to see this when going to amazon.com, but I do.

After all the reports and concerns about the weak offline AI model used in NVDA 64-bit, it now seems that NVAccess is preparing to label this feature as experimental for the 2026.1 release. The word “experimental” is not explicitly used in their comment, but the tone and the explanation strongly imply that this is where things are heading. At least the status is starting to line up with reality.
What still feels strange is how firmly NVAccess is holding on to the offline model idea. Yes, offline models can perform well with a strong GPU or an NPU, and the technology is improving fast. But will the majority of NVDA’s target users, now or even in the future, actually have the hardware needed to run these models properly? That part is still very uncertain.
Marking the feature as experimental is a good step forward, but the bigger question about practicality and user hardware remains unanswered.

Rolling Stone: clearly documents a 30+ year long con job. A rural county's own leadership lined their pockets by helping ag interests destroy the water supply.

Everyone who read the article apparently??: Amazon data centers did this in 2011

Now looking for Calibre alternatives or forks. I haven't got around to *setting up* Calibre so this is an easy time for me to avoid locking in to AI-infected software.

Actually wait I just thought about this and realized that the precise timing of the ACTUAL GitHub seed bank, by which I mean the Arctic Code Vault, on 2020-02-02, makes it more or less a perfect snapshot of pre-Copilot GitHub. Also precisely timed before we all got brain damage from COVID. This is the only remaining archive of source code by people with a fully working sense of smell
