Last night I finished a book I read for a reason that did not give me particularly high expectations: the author is a friend of my wife. I knew knew that she (the author) liked Babylon 5, so at least she had good taste.
To my surprise, I found myself really enjoying it. There are a couple of places where the writing is clunky but the characters were interesting and the story was engaging. Iβm very much looking forward to the sequel (due this year).
If you enjoy low-stakes science fiction mysteries, I can thoroughly recommend Artificial Selection by Marianne Pickles. I will try to avoid spoilers, but if you hate people putting machine learning in totally inappropriate places, there is a two-page rant about 3/4 of the way through that youβll enjoy (I did!).

So I finally turned a recent popular post here into a proper story.
Teen on Muskβs DOGE Team Graduated from βThe Comβ
Wired reported this week that a 19-year-old working for Elon Muskβs so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was given access to sensitive US government systems even though his past association with cybercrime communities should have precluded him from gaining the necessary security clearances to do so. As todayβs story explores, the DOGE teen is a former denizen of βThe Com,β an archipelago of Discord and Telegram chat channels that function as a kind of distributed cybercriminal social network for facilitating instant collaboration.

Running a `zpool scrub` on my mirrored NVMe SSDs. The image on the left is without heatsinks and the right is with heatsinks. Both graphs show a 50 minute time window.
Before installing heatsinks it took 15-20 minutes to scrub, and since, it's only 6 minutes. Perhaps the drives were thermal throttling?
Either way, β¬20 well-spent I'd say.
