According to Nevada's report into its recent ransomware attack, a state employee "searched Google for a system administration tool to download and was instead shown a malicious advertisement that led to a fraudulent website impersonating the legitimate project."
Yeah, that happens a lot! An ad-blocker is one of your top security and privacy defenses online. If you work in an enterprise org, consider rolling out an ad-blocker to your company network!

As a Linux user starved for accessible document/ebook-reading options, I've been envious of all the Paperback chatter I've seen recently. So I threw making a Linux port at Claude Code with superpowers. Here's what it came up with so far, for anyone who uses Flatpak: nextcloud.thewordnerd.info/s/2…
flatpak install --user paperback.flatpak Haven't verified everything yet but I'm able to open a book, read it accessibly, close the book, re-open the application without specifying the book, and appear where I left off. Continuous read/paging also seems to work under Orca. You might need to set a universal ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED=1 environment variable override for all flatpaks, though I haven't explicitly tested without that.
PR including Nix packaging/development setup incoming soonish once I've looked over everything, as one should with these sorts of things. Still though, works way better than ebook-convert <whatever> .txt, opening in gnome-text-editor, and suffering.
You're welcome, thanks for your work. I'll check the diff today, but you can check out github.com/ndarilek/paperback/… in the meantime. I'll likely be squashing more commits onto that branch today if I spot any fun Claudeisms in the patch, as sometimes happens.
One thing I've noticed not working are hotkeys in the text area''specifically tested [ and ]. Both just give a terminal bell and do nothing. I know WX uses GTK3 on Linux and suspect it's using something else that's actually accessible on Windows, and there's a difference between how read-only textareas in GTK handle being typed in. Fortunately the menu items work, but we might need to add ctrl or similar to these and other hotkeys under Linux.
Also, the TOC tree is inaccessible, again likely due to GTK (though GTK tree views certainly work fine.) So it isn't a perfect port, but even so it's good to finally have something like QRead under Linux.

@hj I'm pegging the CPU at 100% compiling on this Rasbperry Pi and roc isn't stuttering, buffering, skipping, or anything. It still keeps streaming the audio with zero issues
amazing
i think you can do the same in snapcast too, its overhead is mostly encoding (FLAC i think) and synchronization (which is determined by buffer size, which also dictates the latency)
24bit is generally only matters in audio editing so 16bit for just listening is enough IMO

Django's built-in admin is powerful, but it's essentially a separate framework within Django. After attempting to modernize django-admin2, I realized we needed a fresh approach: an admin interface that works like the rest of Django, built on generic CBVs, plugins, and view factories. Meet Django Admin Deux: a proof-of-concept admin where CRUD operations are just actions, knowledge transfers both ways, and everything feels like Django.

Just wait until you hear about "uber for nurses" and other "innovative" and "disruptive" approaches to labor exploitation that is coming soon to Europe and the UK as the leaders capitulate to removing the regulations and safeguards we currently enjoy protecting us from US companies just to avoid having to temporarily deal with tariffs. Ask the average European about whether or not they would rather temporarily deal with any economic hardship the tariffs may introduce in a society that has safety nets in place and has experience with dealing with hardship vs avoiding temporary discomfort now in exchange for the inevitable stripping of any and all consumer and labor protections for you, your children, and however many generations are left before the planet bursts into flames (ironically because of the same bad actors). I don't know about you, but I'd rather deal with the former to support the greater good and keep this off our shores.

My son is in Ontario on Remembrance Day (our name for Armistice Day in Canada) for the first time and he was shocked it wasn’t a public holiday like it is in B.C.
He was disappointed to be in Ottawa, just a few minutes away from the National War Memorial by metro, but couldn’t attend because he has classes today.
I agree with him. It is very strange that this day, of all days, is not a national day.
So instead he rushed through his class so he could at least get to the small ceremony held on campus.
How sad that there is so little time and space made for it in our largest and most populous province.
Even in our nation’s capital.

🐾 Lillys Tagebuch – 11.11.2025 🐾
Also ehrlich, ständig nur lieb sein – das ist auf Dauer echt anstrengend 😼. Ich bin schließlich Katze, kein goldener Schoßengel mit Fell und Pfoten! Heute habe ich mal wieder die Nerven meiner Zweibeiner auf Belastbarkeit getestet. Ganz wissenschaftlich natürlich.
Zuerst bin ich über die Tastatur spaziert 🖥️ – man muss ja wissen, ob die Buchstaben noch alle an ihrem Platz sind. Danach ging’s über den hohen Glastisch, auf dem sich ein ganzes Technikmuseum befand: Kameras, Handy, Ladegeräte… Ich habe nichts umgeschmissen – fast nichts 😇. Dann kurz einen Abstecher auf den Bürotisch, wo Kaffeetasse ☕ und Papierstapel eine herrliche Versuchung boten. Einmal Pfote drauf – und schwupps, flog ein Zettel wie ein Schmetterling durchs Zimmer. Wunderschön!
Mein persönliches Highlight 🎯: der Kühlschrank! Ein magischer Ort mit Licht, Düften und unendlichen Möglichkeiten. Ich bin einfach reingehuscht – und ehrlich gesagt: Ich hatte nicht vor, so schnell wieder rauszukommen. Es war gemütlich! Leider war mein Aufenthalt nur kurz… Mecker, Mecker, Tür zu.
Und als wäre mein Arbeitstag nicht schon aufregend genug, stehen hier neuerdings komische Geräte herum, die heiß pusten oder sogar offenes Feuer haben 🔥. Angeblich, weil „die Heizung immer noch nicht funktioniert“. Tsss. Ich finde, mir hätte man das zuerst sagen müssen! Schließlich bin ich hier die wichtigste Person im Haus 👑🐾.
Na gut, ich geb’s zu – vielleicht habe ich heute ein bisschen übertrieben. Aber wenn meine Zweibeiner mich dann anschauen, seufzen und sagen: „Ach Lilly…“, dann weiß ich: Sie lieben mich trotzdem. Hoffe ich zumindest. 😺💛
Bis morgen, meine treuen Fans –
Eure Lilly 🐾✨

While `zpool replace` does not allow you to use a smaller drives, `zpool add` does.

How would you move the zroot zpool from a #ZFS mirror of 2x 450GB to 2x 128GB devices? Ideally, I'd use `zpool replace` but that can't go to smaller devices.BSD Network
new ZFS has the ability to let you remove a single disk or mirror if you made a mistake; it will move the data to other disks for you.
You can't do this with a RAIDZ though. But you can now *grow* a RAIDZ
Das Zentrum für Disability Studies in Hamburg wird geschlossen, was katastrophal ist. Das Drumherum finde ich allerdings noch schlimmer, ein Thread (wird lang, sorry - wobei ne, eigentlich nicht):
1. Die Info ist nicht neu, die Schließung ist seit August bekannt, die Professur seit Oktober nicht mehr finanziert. Beispielsweise berichtete die taz: taz.de/Sparpolitik-in-Hamburg/…
Warum das Thema kein größerer Aufschrei war? Sind wir ehrlich: Weil es niemanden juckt. Ja es juckt dich, es juckt mich, aber politisch, gesamtgesellschaftlich, wissenschaftlich? Das Einstampfen von Critical Studies wie den Disability Studies passt in den Zeitgeist des aufstrebenden Faschismus. Vielmehr noch: Critical Studies werden schon immer unter dem angeblichen Verdacht der Pseudowissenschaft "kritisiert". Warum? Weil sie bestehende Wissenssysteme in Frage stellen. Weil sie grundlegendere Fragen stellen und die Universalität von Wissen in Frage stellen. Weil sie Fragen wie: "Wer spricht, wer forscht, wer veröffentlicht, wer wird gehört" in den Fokus rücken. Critical Studies sind und waren immer auch ein Kampf darum, welche Fragen gestellt werden dürfen, welche Fragen wissenschaftlich ernst genommen werden, welche Personen ernst genommen werden, welches WISSEN zählt. Das Einstampfen von Critical Studies ist nicht nur epistemische Gewalt, sondern eine Niederlage für aktivistische, emanzipatorische Kämpfe - das ist fatal.
2. Der Hamburger Senat schützt sich selbst damit, dass sie ja weiter ganz doll tolle Inklusion machen, sie ja das super Projekt der Bildungsfachkräfte nach dem Vorbild der CAU Kiel etabliert hätten. Direkt vorweg: Das Projekt an sich ist nicht das allerschlechteste, darum geht es auch nicht. Es geht vielmehr darum, dass dieses Projekt dafür genutzt wird, die ausbleibende Weiterfinanzierung der Disability Studies zu rechtfertigen. In dem Projekt werden 8(!!!!) Personen mit "intellektuellen Beeinträchtigungen" qualifiziert, die bisher in WfbM arbeiteten ODER den Anspruch gehabt hätten.
Mit der Erforschung von Behindertenrechten war Hamburg vor 20 Jahren Vorreiter. Jetzt hat die Stadt kein Geld mehr dafür. 150 Forschende protestieren.Kaija Kutter (taz)
