not all jelly beans are created equal. The Starburst jelly beans are particularly good, such that after high demand they're available year round now I think???
I want to try #FreeBSD 15.0-Alpha2 but I'm on 14.3-Release. Is there a way to easily upgrade but be able to roll back if I need to? I could take a snapshot of the ZFS root then run the installer off a usb stick?
ZFS boot environments mostly handle this for you. The freebsd-update method of generating a boot environment snapshot before upgrading is essentially this command:
bectl create $(uname -r)-$(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S)
However, if all you want is some new kernel features and don't need the updated base OS for anything* you could just boot into the new kernel, do your testing, and then boot back into the 14.3-RELEASE kernel.
* unsure of any incompatibilities between 14.3 base and 15.0 kernel right now; it happens between major releases, but rarely. Usually harmless inconveniences if they happen.
if you put all your important stuff in Jails then you can just have 14.3 jails and the host OS can be 15.0. You get the stable stuff you want in the jails, and the bleeding edge kernel, ZFS, networking stack, etc outside the jails. That makes things a lot easier to deal with too, especially when it comes to situations where the packages for the software you want might not be building correctly on 15 yet
Almost a year ago, your incredible generosity helped us raise the funds to buy the server that Altbot runs on today (locally and privately) It's been operating from my home ever since, and I'm so grateful for the support that made that possible.
But now, the situation has become unsustainable. My home network is under a sustained, targeted DDoS attack aimed at taking Altbot offline. And unfortunatly this isn't just a threat to the bot, it's a serious security and privacy concern for my family.
A lot of people are probabaly going to be asking the same question I did: "Who is doing this?" but the honest answer is: I don't know, and I likely never will. These attacks are launched through botnets and proxies designed specifically to hide the source. Figuring out the "who" is nearly impossible. The only thing I can do is focus on the "how to stop it."
Running this critical service from a residential address is no longer viable. To protect Altbot and my family, we need to move the server to a professional data center with proper, enterprise DDoS mitigation.
The Goal: $2,880 to cover 12 months of secure colocation.
This will provide a secure, stable home for Altbot with:
This isn't just about maintaining a service. It's about ensuring that an important accessibility tool remains available for everyone who depends on it, while also protecting my family's privacy and safety.
Please consider supporting if you can. If you're unable to donate, boosts are incredibly valuable for raising awareness.
Thank you for your support and for believing in Altbot's mission.
Pojížděli jsme teď se ženou trochu s koly po Brně, takže jsem měl příležitost seznámit se s hororem cyklodopravy ve městě. Trik „když dám blikačky, můžu cokoliv” už jsem znal, ale objevil jsem i nový jev „parkovacích vláčků“ – zůstali jsme stát v koloně aut na blikačkách a po chvilce jsem si všiml, že to není kolona, ale prostě desítka aut, které všechny zastavily za sebou, zůstaly stát na blikačky a vyřizují, co je potřeba. Instantní parkoviště kdekoliv! Magic! ✨
V Liberci to neni o nic lepsi. Zazil jsem mnoho kurioznich situaci naproti me oblibene kavarne ve Frydlantske (je tam par uradu a parkoviste asi 150m pod kopcem - samozrejme prazdne).
Pani prijela, zaparkovala na blikackach a pak si vsimla policisty ... 10 minut na sebe zirali, nez to policista vzdal, zrusil ocni kontakt a pani mohla vypnout motor a jit na urad.
Jednou jsem tam videl takhle auto zablokovat sanitku. Borci s nositky sebehli a s panem ten kopec zase vybehli.
I read the following from the Meta website from the Meta Ray-Ban Display Glasses FAQ. It seems that the new display glasses will have a screen reader which is very good news, although I wonder how much you'll be able to do with them beyond reading and sending messages. For instance it would be very cool if you could make shortcuts with the neural band for certain AI prompts, like tap two fingers together instead of saying "Hey Meta, what am I looking at?", and if third-party apps could be developed for them that would be amazing. Or if you could browse the web or navigate through your social media feeds.
How to use screen reader on Meta Ray-Ban Display Screen reader reads aloud important text and interactive content on your device’s display. You can control screen reader using Meta Neural Band or the glasses touchpad. - Meta Neural Band: ○ Swipe with your thumb to move between items. ○ Tap with your index finger to hear an item read aloud. ○ Double tap with your index finger to select or activate an item. - Glasses touchpad: ○ Swipe with one finger to move between items. ○ Single tap to have the item read aloud. ○ Double tap to select or activate an item.

I need some help. Anyone know any good not too expensive 13 inch laptops? Something around 500-700 eur? I know it's a hard one, but I'd be glad if someone has some ideas. Thanks Fedi! You are awesome! #Laptops #Computers #Windows I'm trying to buy for a family member, and I am not sure what is good to be honest.
Thanks! I will look them up, any recommendations for one you have? I hope the zenbooks are zen and help my family member calm down from their aggression. LOL.
See if you can get a Lenovo ThinkBook with Ryzen CPU in that budget. Design is kinda like a chunkier Macbook Air with much better connectivity. The displays aren't anything fancy, tends to make 'em cheap for what you get performance-wise.
I just bought the SenseCAP TRACKER which was cheap and seems like a perfect solution. Just Bluetooth from your phone to the device to control it, do chats, whatever.
Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.
una gran divulgadora, me encantaba verla cada que salía en algún programa, así fue como la conocí desde mi pueblito hace varias décadas de eso y aún tengo grabado en la mente el gran carisma y el amor que le tenía a la ciencia. Q.E.P.D.
RIP Apenas la vi (como espectador) en el pasado evento por el eclipse en las islas de CU. Se le va a extrañar. ¿Cómo era eso de que uno está viejo cuando las personas que admira se mueren?
You know what's very odd? To my knowledge, Lire didn't update. But after I installed iOS 26, I found that the rotor actions for articles had changed. Mark read is now two down, not one down, and share is gone completely.
Pondering what to shoot tomorrow at the VMR car show. Last week was Phoenix 200 (the old one). I have another roll of that. It's medium format 6x6 so it's 12 frames.
Expired film has been in the freezer most of its life.
Just to put into context. The Portra 160 VC cost me US$4.29 a roll. The Portra 400 was probably a bit more than that but not much. The slide film, less than US$5 a roll. The Phoenix cost me CA$17 a roll.

> The health benefits of sunlight may outweigh the risk of skin cancer
> More sun might improve your heart and immune system. Just don’t get sunburnt
Well yeah, but you can get sunburnt in like 15 minutes without protection so what exactly do you want people to do? Go outside for 15 minutes once a week? Is the goal to convince people to stop using sunblock? What is the point of this goddamn article
OR is the point that the lower cardiovascular and cancer rates is actually caused by being active outside?
@CapitalB that is patently false. Stop being fucking retarded. We have tons of proof of remedies for sunburns going back hundreds of years, probably thousands.
e.g., Noxzema was invented in 1914,
People wore hats, long shirts and pants, and used umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun.
Sure they did. Which is my point. The upper class stayed inside. E.g. many dont know that the light just after sunrise activates the natural skin "protection". Eyes register certain frequencies and the brain emits some hormone for the skin to adapt.
I dont dispute you can burn m(
Just that it is odd how it was NOT a cultural thing like frostbites e.g.
UVA making your skin age quicker is also a fact and was known, hence the umbrellas.
maybe, I dont deny this. But why was it not a cultural thing? There should be ... stuff pointing at this problem. We have all kind of weird signs, traditions and words. I expect some church freskos to have references or old medicinal books. I ask everybody. This is not personal against you ;) The theory that vegetable oils make our skin more vulnerable is a very good start. Or something else. Maybe soap? Nobody checked.
modern hygiene (like historically modern after 1500) was such a huge improvement. But what if that was a consequence? Or working indoors, manufacture, factories? All very recent.
> The theory that vegetable oils make our skin more vulnerable is a very good start.
that's an interesting theory and I don't doubt that vegetable oils are Not Good For Us in various ways, but we know for a fact that alcohol degrades your skin and alcohol consumption has massively increased over time so that seems like a more obvious place to start looking, really
@CapitalB also I don't think we have any insight into what the ozone layer was like beyond the last...60 years maybe? (would need to check, unsure)
Entirely possible the industrial revolution increased our exposure to higher levels of UV. Then again even volcanic eruptions can do plenty of damage on their own. I don't think we have any reasonable data except making estimates about certain things from core samples.
There are a lot of variables here. I do not dismiss the idea that something in our modern diet is making people more vulnerable. I don't think it's seed or vegetable oils, though.
> E.g. many dont know that the light just after sunrise activates the natural skin "protection". Eyes register certain frequencies and the brain emits some hormone for the skin to adapt.
If there was even a shred of truth to this there'd already be a device on the market you could buy that emits the correct wavelength to activate this, like a SAD lamp but for pre-outdoor activities. Or a pill that releases the hormone.
I have no choice but to assume you're just repeating what you saw on some conspiracy theory Youtube channel if you can't give me direct links to studies that have proven this to be true.
Unless the next conspiracy is that Big Sunscreen is hiding this technology from us

#dokuwiki Tak konečně mi to běží, kvůli úsporám jsem zrušil WEDOS, poskytovatel NETU mi dal k dispozici doménu 3.řádu a WWW prostor, bohužel bez databáze a se starým PHP - tam něco rozchodit je fakt opruz Tak teď postupně přepisuji své "uzly na kapesníku" z velké WiKi do DokuWiKi
@archos hele, až to přepíšu, pokud bude zájem přehodíme k tobě z 90% to jsou moje nastavení, často věcí které ven nesmí, mám tam nastavení sítě, VPN a dalších věcí a nebo nezajímavé věci já jen chtěl zjistit jak je to "složité" a funkční, a časem uvidím ...

Great work! One question out of curiosity: is it going to restore the session even with changed displays? Use case: I work from the office with one external display, save the session, move home and connect the laptop to another external display.
@sesivany App state will definitely be saved, and which apps you had running too, but IDK how Mutter plans to implement window positioning being saved/restored when monitors change. So, to be determined I suppose
