what, uhhh, what

casually patching the kernel to send a quarter megabyte as a *single* argument oh my god i'm laughing hard
Back when 128 kB was the limit for argv+envp, Google was hitting it too because they passed all the configuration for their whole software stack on the command line as --long-option=value switches.
Their solution? Compress the command line. So every binary started by ungzipping argv[1] and parsing it to get the configuration.
The person explaining this to me saw my horrified face, and said with the perfect Hide The Pain Harold smile: "a series of individually completely rational and reasonable decisions led to this." and I have been thinking a lot about it since.

THANK YOU! WE DID IT! Just 85 days into my Sell 100 Albums in 100 Days, we have achieved our goal! Yesterday's sale at Ampwall tipped us over the threshold to 100 album sales (including full discography sales) since release day.
Check out the album that at least 100 people were willing to pay real money for!

Trump Demands Reporters Stop Talking About Him And Epstein In New White House Scrum -- Claims 'I Have Nothing To Do With The Guy!' (Tommy Christopher/Mediaite)

I don’t think I’m remotely alone in finding the pathetic and spineless response of world leaders to the war in Gaza absolutely disgusting.
How fucking hard is it to simply DO THE RIGHT THING?
Why? Why the fuck can’t they do the right thing?
Yes, there will be consequences. Yes there will be pushback. Yes there will be spurious accusations of antisemitism. But so what?
I’m so disgusted with almost all of them.

#BBCNews - Suffering in Gaza is indefensible, says Starmer https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62d2gj75droJourna.host
During WWII MANY governments knew what was going on inside Germany, but they were also engaged in a world war.
Here, there’s no excuse. Every single leader in the world KNOWS they are watching genocide (or at the very least ethnic cleansing, if they’re too squeamish for the other word).
How the fuck have they convinced themselves they can somehow tiptoe through this morally, ethically, historically.
It speaks volumes about how amoral they are, to how stupid and short sighted they are.
You know, I absolutely understand the argument that there is very little most countries (other than the US) can do to stop this. But there is something - they can call it what it is. They can stop trading with the perpetrators. They can stop pretending not to see the enormity of the atrocity.
Because this moral deficit, this failure to even be a clear-eyed witness… this is unforgivable. Historically unforgivable.

Meta to stop selling political ads in the EU from October techcrunch.com/2025/07/25/meta… The EU "mandates companies selling ads to clearly label political ads; provide information about their sponsor, the election or referendum they concern, what the ad cost, and targeting mechanisms used".
Meta is sad: “we’re seeing regulatory obligations effectively remove popular products and services from the market".
With whom is micro-targeted brainwashing popular, you shady zuckwits?
In response to the European Union's incoming regulation of political advertising, Meta said on Friday that it would stop selling and showing political ads in the EU from October 2025.Ram Iyer (TechCrunch)

If you laughed at the ReplIt guy yesterday and hit this problem today, well.
Somewhat cynically, if your build system pulls directly from NPM you have, whether you realized it or not, decided that developer convenience is simply more important than product integrity or security, which are worth zero dollars to you.
The idea that 100% uptime infrastructure is just there somehow, is unrealistic.
This is a near-best-case outcome, I think.
This PR aims to introduce daisy support into bookworm. Currently, the daisy format targeted is daisy 3. Since adding media support isn't trivial in our case, only text books will be supported. ...GitHub
How to find out that you are possibly in a country with a TT earthing system:
- you still find some unearthed sockets, especially in dry rooms,
- you will see two-pole circuit breakers everywhere, because you cannot trust that the voltage between N and earth is always safe,
- you will see RCDs everywhere because earth loop has high resistance
In the case of Spain, I see C10 circuit breakers everywhere. I wonder whether it has something to do with the code or just this place.

Mapcomplete.org ist getting better and better.
A few days ago I discovered that its possible to add manmade bird nests. I was standing near a stork's nest when I found the topic. And directly added a picture.
I also found by chance that beehives can be added. And that there are also viewpoints to add under the theme of nature.
It would be nice if there was some information and not find by chance.
something new thats still hidden under some Theme?

Kdybyste si měli vybrat nějaký online kurz (klidně placený) pro vzdělávání v oboru IT, na co byste se dívali, podle čeho byste vybírali? Vidím, že existuje Coursera, Udemy, edX, LinkedIn Learning...
Předpokládám, že kvalitativně to bude všechno +- stejné, tak jde spíš o hodnotu toho kurzu z pohledu zaměstnavatele ("Jó, Michal viděl 10 hodin videí na Khan Academy, ten bude asi dobrej!")
Prostě vítám tipy ohledně online vzdělávání. Našel jsem coursmos.com/coursera-alternat… , ale chci osobní zkušenosti.
