Ah, the joys of someone new discovering Eloquence's nifty little feature of assuming everything is a state acronym. An Alaska-47 rifle, a South Dakota card... applevis.com/forum/macos-mac-a…
Hello community members I noticed an interesting behaviour of the eloquence voice introduced by Apple in iOS 16 no idea when did it become available for Mac. I am mainly using this voice on my Mac with VO.

Just found out that George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, written around 1948, describes a "versificator" that composes the words for songs "entirely by mechanical means" simonwillison.net/2025/Jul/6/n…
There was a whole chain of separate departments dealing with proletarian literature, music, drama, and entertainment generally. Here were produced rubbishy newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime and astrology, …
It's one of those rare pieces of SciFi that gets more and more believable as time passes instead of less and less.
The telescreen, the speakwrite, the versificator, invasive surveillance, editing npast newspaper issues to suppress inconvenient truths, we now have the tech to do it all.
Where most sci-fi from the 60s and 70s feels outdated now, 1984 (which was written much earlier) just feels... a little bit quaint in terms of the vocabulary used to describe modern technology, otherwise it's spot on.
As an aside, I wish we had a modern 1984 rewrite that took what we now know and have into account. Instead of telescreens and the thought police, mandatory wristbands with a speech recognition chip and an AI system that traces political dissidents via meeting location graphs. The original is out of the public domain in most places, so such a book could realistically and legally be written. There's one I know of from the 80s (which is just as spot on), but it was written by a Polish author, and, at least to my knowledge, sadly never translated to English.
"Save the world, write more efficient code!" - as if we need an excuse! But seriously, we are surrounded by sluggish systems. And this is not just irritating...

or a graph that averages the values of all other graphs by date ... damn the y axis ... and call it 'the special curl number' - we dont know what it means if it goes up or down, but it is cool right ?
Tak podruhé na urgentu 😶 po ablaci srdce se mi arytmie opět rozjela až do tachykardie. Před lety 192 TF ted pouhých 154 TF. Nyní 92. Kdy se zas vrátím na svých 56 v klidu. 3 roky byl klid, prášky zahozeny, a hle...a vrchol všeho je, že se mi to stalo v nové práci po 3 dnech. Že by to něco znamenalo? 🤔🙃
Hele já už jsem asi starej a rozhodně nejsem cílovka, ale muže mi někdo vysvětlit, k čemu má ten telefon ten "displej" na zádech a kdo si to vůbec koupí a proč? vhsky.cz/w/hf3pRQbsPoHNZqHASkQ…
@archos No právě, když pominu to, že ten telefon je za mne strašně ošklivej, ale to je samozřejmě subjektivní věc, pak ten displej je vrchol samoúčelnosti. Fakt to nechápu. 🤔

new FreeBSD bridge(4) review: “bridge: add defvlanfilter and defuntagged options" reviews.freebsd.org/D51176
this lets you do:
$ ifconfig bridge0 defvlanfilter defuntagged 1
... which causes all newly-added member interfaces to have VLAN filtering enabled and be in VLAN 1 (only).
then your VM/jail management tools (vm-bhyve, …) can continue using 'ifconfig addm' to add bridge members and don't need to know about VLAN configuration.
fun fact: this is how most people expect bridge(4) to work already, but it is not how bridge works already! in reality, all bridge members have access to all VLANs by default, and before VLAN filtering there was no way to restrict this at all.
i wonder how many systems accidentally allow jails/VMs to access their host management VLAN because of this?
for that reason (among others) i'd like to make this the default configuration of bridge(4) in a future version... 15.0 may be too early, though. but we should document this better.
For Catholics attending #ACB25 I found what may be a closer Catholic Church to the hotel. Saint Cecelia 1809 W. Davis Street English Masses are at 7:30 AM and 11:00 AM on Sunday.
Actually my mom found a much closer church within walking distance (no ride-share needed!) where we'll be attending tomorrow. stjudechapel.org It's literally about a half mile or slightly more away. Walk is only about 15 minutes. We passed it on the way to McDonald's for dessert before General Session. #ACB25 / #ACB2025
@ChrisDuffley It was wonderful meeting you at #ACB25. Thanks again for letting me know about the nearby chapel, which I did go to for 11:30 AM Mass. I didn't walk it but it was only a six-minute Lyft ride.
For every moment in time, how many vulnerabilities of different severity were present in code. We know now because these vulnerabilities have been reported and fixed since then.
The peak is at 7.41.0 on 2015-02-25 with 85 vulnerabilities present!
I think you should be able to graph how many unknown vulnerabilities there's been in curl over time, but graphing the time it takes between a vulnerability being introduced and it being reported.
Based on that, you might be able to guess how many unknown vulnerabilities there might be in curl right now.
@richardstephens it's always been about gradually and consistently trying to improve, do things better, making it harder to do mistakes. There was nothing "major" done in 2017 that I can recall
Wow, you also like Miniflux! I encountered it accidentally, it was mentioned by a podcaster I follow, a sighted guy. I use the main instance at miniflux.app for now, but probably will migrate to your one or self-host.
Awesome idea, these personalised licence plate keyrings. I’d suggest adding a personalized home address to the ring; that way, the person who “finds” your keys can drive your car straight to your home.
I'm not sure whether this presents any new attack vector. If you lose your key far from your car, the licence plate on the key will not help anyone finding the car. If you lose the key close to the car, even without such a tag, the person who finds the key can keep pressing the remote controls and find the car that is locking/unlocking.
I just heard about Archive Team Warrior, where you can donate some of your internet bandwidth to helping the Internet Archive do its work. In under half an hour, I had the container running on my home server. The documentation talks about VMs, but Docker is also an option.
Tesla's so-called "autopilot" turns off automatically a fraction of a second before a crash, so the driver can be blamed even though the driver has no time to respond. (It's been that way for more than a year since originally publicly documented by the NHTSA, this is clearly a choice someone made.)
And while Tesla management clearly just loves doing terrible things, an individual engineer implemented this.
You don't want to be that engineer:
1. It's immoral, and a dereliction of your professional duty. 2. If your action ever goes to court, there will be some very expensive lawyers trying their best to make you the scapegoat and claim you are either incompetent or malicious, but you very definitely did this on your own.
And most of the time the things you'll be asked to do aren't as bad. I know someone who was asked by their manager to put a CE mark on products that were from the non-CE factory. These devices weren't safety critical, this wasn't going to kill anyone. But it's still fraud, and the incentive was still there for the company to make this engineer the scapegoat.
The engineer said "no"... and that was the end of it. Sometimes that's all it takes to enforce standards.
If "no" isn't enough, asking for something in writing (signed and dated) is a good next step. Chances are that will be the end of it, and meanwhile you can start looking for a new job.

I'm introducing limits per test case in #curl test suite to make sure we don't unintentionally accidentally suddenly use many more allocations or much more concurrent memory than we can allow.
The idea here is to set limits per test how many allocations and maximum amount of memory it is allowed to use. This is a means to make sure the number and total size of allocations are kept in che...

Hey folks. I've noticed #DeltaChat hasn't got a page in #Wikipedia. Do you know sources which would prove its notability so we could create a page for it?
Boosts appreciated. If you don't know sources, someone else might.
Amazonian scorpion molecule wipes out breast-cancer cells in lab tests. Brazilian scientists isolated a peptide from Brotheas amazonicus venom and, using yeast ‘factories’, mass-produced it to screen against tumour lines. In vitro, the compound triggered necrosis in breast-cancer cells within 24 hours, achieving effects comparable to chemotherapy without damaging surrounding tissue. sciencealert.com/amazonian-sco… #ShareGoodNewsToo
Preliminary results presented at the FAPESP Week France health conference suggest the venom from an Amazon rainforest scorpion (Brotheas amazonicus) might be able to help treat breast cancer.
