RIP pthread_cancel() in curl. It was an interesting adventure.

RIP pthread_cancel
I posted about adding pthread_cancel use in curl about three weeks ago, we released this in curl 8.16.0 and it blew up right in our faces. Now, with #18540 we are ripping it out again.icing's blog
I think it's reasonable to declare that pthread_cancel() is effectively broken for any nontrivial use on contemporary OSes and it is unlikely to be fixed any time soon.
(I suspect it would actually be easier to cajole libc maintainers into adding an async friendly version of GAI() than to make GAI() cancellation safe.)
If you want a cancellable thing from which you can make blocking calls, the only near-universal option is subprocesses. Unfortunately there are reasons why in some ecosystems it is impolite for a library to start a subprocess.

In world political news that went under the radar over the past few days: the government of #Nepal has been overthrown by youths following a governmental move to block social media, and accusations of corruption.
A new PM was elected over #Discord, and has been accepted by the military. They aim to hold elections within 6 months.
I repeat:
THEY ELECTED A NEW GOVERNMENT
OVER
DISCORD.
And no second ammendment was needed to rise up against against tyranny.

As for benefits over PPPoE passthrough, you'll probably notice a bit of a reduction in latency, perhaps 1 MS better. Minor, but a perk.
Certainly the fact that you're in control of everything up to the fiber connector, you can choose when firmware updaes happen, and not Bell. No more modem reboots over night, and even randomly during the day. Oh yeah, and no more incidents of pushing bad configs to a million modems causing them to be down for 8 plus hours, LOL.
I was enjoying the net all through that incident.
Also, may be a good reason to revisit some VLAN snooping to see if IPv6 can be found anywhere.
So you will note that the connector is square, and if you feel along the sides of the square that naturally face your fingers as you grip the connector, you will feel narrow slits, that should feel like they're for finger usage to loosen or unlock the connector. And this is what happens. You squeeze these tabs inward, and the lock is released. You then pull very gently, very slowly, and very straight with your entire hand, and the connector should slide off the SFP+ module, or out of the modem. The modem will likely be a bit trickier in handling, and may require some effort to unplug the connector. Do your best in gaging if you think you're overdoing something, but at the same time, the modem connector may be stubborn. Most of all, always pull or push connectors straight.
Also, never, under any circumstances that you can control, touch or point the end of the fiber connector at your face or any one elses. Touch should be absolutely limited to necessities, or purposefully destroying a connector. To plug the connector back in, ensure it is aligned with the square receptical, and push gently. If aligned, it will slide a short distance, then lock into place with a bump and a slight click.
Hope this helps some.

#serviceToot one of the mirrors at #IzzyOnDroid had a power outage, and is currently in recovery (file system repair) – the USV didn't like to be triggered 3 times in a row 🙈). Good thing there are multiple mirrors, so you shouldn't even notice it – unless you pinned your client to our US mirror…
You can watch the state at our monitor, and thus see when the mirror recovered:

The person arrested for Charlie Kirk's murder?
As Joyce Vance says,
"The suspect [is] a cisgender white man raised in a religious, Republican home."
So will Wall Street Journal and New York Times now apologize for promoting the lie about bullet casings left behind by the shooter that were marked with "transgender" symbols, whatever the jumping hell that means?
I doubt it.

Trump on Trials: How Our Legal System Shouldn't Work
Today, after Donald Trump announced it on Fox and Friends, law enforcement told the public it had apprehended a suspect who turned in after confessing to the murder of Charlie Kirk to his father, a former Sheriff’s Deputy and minister.Joyce Vance (Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance)
"Tyler Robinson comes from a Republican family. His father owns a business installing kitchen countertops and cabinets. His mother is a licensed social worker. His family is white, Mormon, and self-described as 'gun-toting.' There are endless photos of Tyler and his family with guns. His mother posted about him proudly."

"He even dressed as Donald Trump for Halloween. The family wasn’t shy about their culture of guns, their politics, or their worldview.
This is who the killer is. This is what we now know. And yet Trump and his cronies immediately blamed the left."

Remember that white house executive order against DEIA, “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility”?
They went out of their way to add the A for accessibility. So this is very sad but not surprising.

This shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how accessibility, and therefore " features" of accessibility work.
For one, making something #accessible for #screenReaders often requires no visual modifications at all, and requires making calls early in the development cycle to not have to rewrite your entire UI using widgets that even support #assistive #technology. Once that call has been made, making elements accessible is often a matter of, what a concept, using the widgets the way they were meant to be used.

Jde o to, že podobně „chytrého“ může napadnout udělat seznam blokovaných instancí, vytáhne je z hashtagu #fediblock a pak se to tu začne šířit.
