@revk They set it up so well for a reboot, and it's a show that deserves one!

What happened to Renee Nicole Good is not an anomaly or a rare phenomenon.

The only unusual factor is that she was white.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot & killed by ICE on New Year’s Eve.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. She survived but has a hole in her arm forever.

Silverio Villegas González was shot dead in Franklin Park Illinois when he panicked and tried to run.

Then there’s the more than 30 people who’ve died in the camps.

No accountability. No punishment.

Keep speaking out. Let’s make sure this officer is held responsible.

@gamingonlinux I tried the beta. I think they made the right choice to delay it.

Working on partitioning tools on my main desktop. What could possibly go wrong?

How can it be 2026 and there's *still* no Signal client in Debian. (BTW Happy new year!)

Lmao. This is funny.

A screenshot of a social media thread from Threaeds where user adambarta asks, "Why is Wikipedia still a thing? Doesn’t ChatGPT just render it completely irrelevant?" Below it, user bridget.clinch replies to that user, "You're the people in the floaty chairs at the start of Wall E."

It's a good day to have air conditioning that runs from solar power!

I just created a new account on a website. I don't know how long it's been since I last did this, but it feels like years.

I will ask chat GPT
I will boil the last of our drinking water
Salt the soil of the scrub-lands
Tear the pages from books and feed them to my fire

I will ask copilot
I will scramble your library
reanimate and puppet the faces of your dead ancestors
I will bury you in poor copies of your dreams

I will ask grok
I will fall silent and never speak to you
I will talk only to myself lost in a maze of my own fantasies
I will forget all who cannot compliment me
I will decouple my soul from this world.

@mbbrutman I had one blow on my XT motherboard a few weeks back. Fortunately it just works fine without it.

@brouhaha @Lydie I'm kind of amazed how long some older SSDs retain their memory. I have some early SSDs that haven't been turned on in 10-20 years and they still have all their data. And from my understanding after 10 years of not having them powered up, you shouldn't be surprised if they are dead.

@hetzner Which will also be available to existing clients, right? Right?

@gamingonlinux gnome-web is kind of cool though

@olasd @luj 100% DNS will be blamed despite the facts

@juliank I'm up for a rewatch too after a discussion with a friend last weekend on whether Breaking Bad or Sons of Anarchy was better.

I don't understand why, but at my old age there's still a small child in me that wants to throw a tantrum because I can't get a Steam Machine *right now*. Which is especially odd since it's just another Linux machine, which I already have more than a 100 of and some I haven't had a chance to properly play with or set up for its intended purpose.

@KimPerales Somehow it feels like a good time to experiment with shorting stocks

@polygonalhorse So as always, fuck Instagram!

While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973

Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition

We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum

An old reel to reel magnetic tape. It has a label, in Jay Lepreau's handwriting, proclaiming it to be "UNIX Original from Bell Labs v4 (see manual for fmt)"
