@whitequark You awaken in an unfamiliar bed, alone. You jolt upright, but "you" are not you; searching for the restroom, you face the mirror and see an unfamiliar face.

Your momentary panic is interrupted by a long beep from "your" bedroom. Cautiously, you return to find an IBM PC, its monochrome green CRT reading:

It is 1985 JANUARY 17 0643
You are CLYDE JOHNSON in ONTARIO
Execution of your program will resume here
Transfer complete; longjmp2() returned successfully.

I think, that maybe, we should, in theory, liquidate all the million/billionaires and their assets and use the former for fertilizer and the latter for social programs, infrastructure improvements, and clean energy initiatives,

Maybe, might be a good idea, just sayin'

Director of engineering at Canonical blogs about how their hiring process, contrary to public opinion, is very excellent, requires no changes but does seemingly need fifty thousand words justifying it. And notably does not discuss the part where Mark Shuttleworth rudely interviews you at the end.

Polizeigewalt

Und wieder haben die Bullen einen Menschen ermordet. Ein 18 jähriger, der vor der Polizei geflohen ist, war wohl wieder eine so große Bedrohung für die Schießwütigen, dass sie ihn ermordet haben. Alles unter der üblichen Ausrede er habe angegriffen. Bullen sind eben 99% schwarze Schafe. Das restliche 1% sind Mitläufer.
Und der Kretschmann deckt die Mörder.

Week 25, 26 and 27 progress on 2 packaging for : no progress as I was kept busy with other life demands and priorities, and I'm on holiday this week. Hopefully resuming work next week at .

Welly it only took half a year, but my blog at people.debian.org/~werdahias is now up and running. Expect some posts to come

Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon charts on four U.K. rankings this week, rising to #72 on the Official Albums Sales chart, #75 on the Physical Albums chart, and #13 on the Rock & Metal Albums chart, while reentering the Album Downloads chart at #83.

I present: tree-sitter-asm support for nvim 0.11, soon™ in Debian

People fundamentally misread history if they think anti-semitism was the driving factor of fascism in 1920’s/1930’s Europe.

That was the propaganda. That was the front. The populist message.

But what really motivated the founders and strategists of these movements was fear of socialism. Fear of losing privilege, fear of left-wing politics spreading.

That’s why they were funded by the rich.

Snakes On A Plane

The cartoon is a humorous visual pun based on the title of the 2006 action thriller film Snakes on a Plane. 

The film Snakes on a Plane is an action thriller where a crate of venomous snakes is released on a passenger plane to kill a witness. 

The image humorously reinterprets the title by showing snakes on a 2D Cartesian plane, defined by the X and Y axes, with a Z-axis indicating a 3D space. 

@veer66 yes, the wrapper mentioned on the wiki page works for .so files too. You can take a look at the glycin package in Debian. If you have any questions feel free to ask

Buying a pressure cooker that can also do vegetables and rice was such a good life decision. Just chuck $things + water in there - > press start and enjoy the cooked $things 15 mins later. 60€ well spent

wheeee! I've successfully made a glass PCB! 0.1mm copper foil laminated onto a microscope slide using two component epoxy and a hot roller laminator, coated with cheap aliexpress dry film photo resist and etched in copper chloride.

turns out that most of my struggles during etching came from my bad exposure setup. The light source was way too diffuse and I way over exposed the photo resist. Going from 7.5 minute exposures down to 20 seconds really helped and switching from a very diffuse UV exposure box to a UV spot light mounted around 50cm away finally got me to an acceptable result.

Of course the one that ended up working was on my ugliest piece of copper on glass laminate but whatever. It finally works!

Three tiny copper on glass PCBs made on microscope slides, getting more crisp, less blobby and less oxidized going from left to right. The one on the left has tons of bridges between traces, most of them are just kinda melted together. The middle one is a little better and the right most one is a perfectly serviceable PCB. It's got some flaws from bubbles under the photo resist, but nothing that would keep it from working Closeup of the right most PCB. It's got some small flaws but looks totally serviceable. The lamination job on this one wasn't to great, so the epoxy between the traces looks a little lumpy and the copper is slightly pitted. It look… rustic?

@pietervdvn pretty likely. Get a multimeter and measure its capacitance and then try to replace it by a new one with similar ratings, to be on the safe side.

@veer66 you'll want to check https://wiki.debian.org/Gnome/Rust_Packaging to package a standalone Rust program. You can check e. g. tex-fmt for a simple example. Feel free to ask on the #debian-rust IRC channel in case you have any questions

Hot take: If a manpage does not include at least one example on how to use the program it's garbage.
