We’ve only had about a week of winter weather and I’ve already had enough! Not even snow, just cold. Yes, I’m a wimp. But spring can’t come soon enough for me.
@kl1964 I hope it warms up there a little. I don't understand what human beings are doing up in these northern latitudes. We belong in the tropics. I'm thinking about moving back up north for family-related reasons, but I hate the weather up there.
Tomorrow night join @Liz, from 6 P.M. eastern (US time), for Mellow Vibes. It’s two hours of Acoustic, mellow, and unplugged music. So tune in tomorrow night, and start the weekend relaxed. HKCRadio.com
Anyone know of a way I can test my RAM on my laptop as a blind person? Or at least something that would, say, wrrite a log file or something I can review after the fact?

I suck horribly at gaming, but occasionally dabble. ioquake3 is actually a good small program to test our exploit mitigations and security hardening techniques. So, let's play (with cheats!) Signed-off-by:...
it's not a lie! They got the blessing from Epic, it's planned to do full net install and be compatible with all the mods etc and mean to work with all old and new servers
The great news is that the blueberry butterfly iBook G3 has survived the travel after 6 months in a box in a container (3 of them blocked due to strikes in Spain) !
I never noticed before that back then the logo on the back was upside down when opened. Feels kinda weird nowadays.
Anyway this looks great for upcoming #Marchintosh and #GlobalTalk in 2026 (or 2027, if you know how I am).

You should actually want to hang out with your friends. This seems like a ridiculously simple concept, but as social creatures, we tend to hold onto relationships even when they’re harming us.
Odin’s advice is that if you have to force yourself to hang out with someone, if you dread their texts, if you have to prepare yourself for their phone call, then that person is bad for you. A friend should be someone you actually want to spend time with because they’re fun, and they make you feel good. Yeah, we all have days where we just don’t want to leave the house, but there’s a difference between wanting to stay home because you’re tired and actively dreading someone’s company.
thank you for this post, may gods keep you safe from evil. I feel it in my heart especially because it seems, we found some friends to hangout with after long years when we had only each other. I mean, to have a good wife is already the most precious gift from gods in my life, but as you said, we are social animals and sometimes need larger company.
You ever found yourself trying to do something really simple, like show a username on a web page, but you can't because there's too much "architecture"? This...
ok this is manageable. The FreeBSD port only provides a single service and that's not very useful in this scenario. It really should offer separate service files for master, filer, and volume roles.
I am now running a master with -volume=false so I can run a separate volume service where I can pass -max=0 so there is no max number of volumes and they're created on demand, and now things are working well.
It's ugly as hell but as long as it's fast and works that's fine with me because the "weed shell" for managing things is pretty nice and the s3 configuration is easy.

Happy birthday @haveibeenpwned! 12 years ago today, I pushed out a blog post launching a little data breach search tool, and life changed forever. Reading the post again now, did I get it right? 😎 troyhunt.com/introducing-have-…
I often write up analyses of the passwords disclosed in website breaches. For
example, there was A brief Sony password analysis

I know #Tidal isn't perfect (and buying physical media or band merch is better, but hey, that is situational, I will only buy an album after I already like it), but this sort of thing makes me feel vindicated in choosing not to use #Spotify.
“If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period.
One thing about "AI" is with the technology OpenAI has (large neural network plus manual tagging) you could've made the best search engine ever. There could be a Copilot where you describe what you wanted and it finds an example of it in the corpus of open source software. You could go from a fuzzy image description to a stock image. These would be better than buggy code and fucked up images. But they wouldn't do that because the *service* OpenAI provides is obscuring that the content is stolen.
One of my AI use cases is "tip of the tongue" searches, things like "find me a movie where the dog dies, shortly followed by...." or "find me that comment from Hackernews on a story about Google buying some fitness startup that linked to books about x"
Das Besondere an Berlin war einst, dass die Stadt von einer freiheitlichen Grundhaltung durchdrungen war. Das ist mit diesem historischen Tag heute vorbei. Die schwarz-rote Landesregierung hat ein Polizeigesetz verabschiedet, das heftigste Überwachungsbefugnisse mit sich bringt: Verhaltensscanner, Gesichtersuche, Palantir-artige Datenanalyse und Staatstrojaner, beispielsweise. Ich habe dieser Ungeheuerlichkeit einen Kommentar gewidmet. netzpolitik.org/2025/neues-pol…
Heute wurde in Berlin eine Novelle des Polizeigesetzes verabschiedet. Sie erlaubt so ziemlich alles, was an digitaler Überwachung möglich ist: Verhaltensscanner, Gesichtersuche, Palantir-artige Datenanalysen, Staatstrojaner. Ein Kommentar.

Hey, folks. I hate doing this, but my family and I need help with money for food & gas. This is unfortunately going to be a regular request until I can get a new job. (See my pinned posts for my resume.)
We average about $35/day for food (2 adults, 2 kids) and $10/day for gas, if we are being cheap. Dog food is $22/week. So we need around $335-$340 to make it through the week, making sure everyone is fed and gets to school. Any help, however small, is deeply appreciated.
Please boost for reach! And remember, you can unboost and boost again to keep it visible.
Venmo is a digital wallet that lets you make and share payments with friends. You can easily split the bill, cab fare, or much more. Download the iOS or Android app or sign up on Venmo.com today.
I could really use a reboost of this, please. We are pretty tight today, only ~$25 left and attempting to figure out dinner. Please consider unboosting/reboosting so it pops up in people's timelines. Thank you all for helping us out!
