OpenZL https://openzl.org/ looks like baby steps towards a generic "compress data into code that generates the data" system.

First, fuck Apple. Second, put these apps on the web where they can’t be blocked by tech CEO sycophants.

@simple_sabotage does this manual try to sabotage the saboteur? Have you ever tried catching a dozen moths when you actually need a moth!?

There are five browser cores:
- webkit
- chromium
- gecko
- servo
- youtube-dl, which ended up implementing a full-fledged browser in python to keep successfully downloading videos

My wife's leaving note said I had "the worst case of LinkedIn brain" she'd ever seen.

Here's what that taught me about B2B sales...

@jlecour I use the zfs-dkms package, and I don't use zfs for /

Sometimes it looks like people really want to demonize raidz2 in favour of using sets of mirrors when you have 4 or 6 disks. At home I use raidz2 on my machines because I care a bit more about any 2 disks being able to fail rather than it being Russian Roulette after the first disk fails, and I haven't ran into any performance issues whatsoever, even when moving large amounts of data around, installing to multiple VMs on those filesystems or deleting huge amounts of files.

@mirabilos @freexian So, that means you got around another ~3 years of trixie for your armel devices? That's not too terrible.

@mirabilos @freexian Even rpi 3+4 is something often sent to e-waste... if you rescue one of them and upgrade to arm64 then at least you're e-waste neutral. Then again it's small fry compared to the massive amount of Windows 10 hardware that's about the become "obsolete" soon. I do think it makes sense to stop supporting really old architectures which don't have any fast method to build packages for them. Those hold us back and I think do more harm than good.

@mirabilos @freexian NetBSD is probably also still a good option if someone has those boards and really want to make use of them?

@foone Would've been such a nice easter egg if it was a fibonacci sequence

"The AI bubble is the only thing keeping the US economy together, Deutsche Bank warns
When the bubble bursts, reality will hit far harder than anyone expects"

Some of us have been warning of this all year, but no doubt when it hits "no one could have seen it coming" will be the refrain.

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."

📰 "'Just kissing the US’s ass behind the scenes seems to be not enough anymore,' said Max Schrems. The Irish Data Protection Commission has appointed Niamh Sweeney, an ex-WhatsApp, Facebook and Stripe lobbyist, as third commissioner to lead its work."

Absolutely horrific.

Israel continues to murder journalists in all directions with complete impunity, including this latest attack in which it killed 31 journalists in Yemen.

This marks the deadliest single attack on the press in 16 years, per CPJ.

Netherlands (Dutch parliament) voted in favor to declare Antifa a ‘terrorist organization’

Antifa are the same people who fought against Hitler and Mussolini in WWII. They are anti-fascists!
