policy makers need to be informed to make smart policy, how else would we trust a bunch of polisci majors to implement climate and tech and ag policies? this is unfortunately too easy to game by hiring people to go put your thoughts in ears.

also, it's important to remember that there are lobbyists on all sides of an argument (some with much more paid time on their hands than others, but) its not hard to be one for an issue you want to impact if youre a subject matter expert.

i dont think we should or could be eliminating lobbying but tightly controlling how money/gifts/time are allocated to people who are speaking to politicians and policy makers about a particular issue

I've been labeled a weirdo my entire life, this does not scare me.

Godspeed, you!

was it mostly about the targets the xz actor was interested in than some security property inherent to openbsd that would prevent that sort of dynamic linking vulnerability?

Damn I guess we shouldn't do any small step to improve society somewhat unless we can overhaul systems entirely all at once!

Personally, I'd prefer to see us fight for successively smaller and smaller blast radii than simply hoping and praying the blasts disappeared entirely.

The KO in Koreader was originally for Kobo though ofc now it can run elsewhere. :)

I started Using it on a Kobo Aura but now I use a Boox Onyx which just runs the Android version of Koreader installed via f-droid or side loaded APK.

I'm not sure that list should be used any more. I tracked down a pihole issue a while ago to find this "The list you referenced was used in our legacy products. It is not maintained, has not been updated, and is not actively distributed us."

If you're ever looking at tea shops that sell specialty Japanese teas you can find this style of tea, made from plants grown from seed pollinated by other nearby bushes as opposed to cuttings from a known cultivar, it's refered to as zairai or 在来.

They are often interesting and much more "rough" teas with varying but generally mellow flavors and often processed to contain more hard materials like stems and veins as they would have been when it was still hand rolled. It definitely helps one imagine how tea must have been in those eras, though they still simmered the leaves with the water until the 1700s

yep! i've got a k5 kicking around on my desk, a proper dac is good stuff. they've still gotta make one we can cram 60W through though!

ed: i guess i should add that i just use a pair of bluetooth cans or even bone-conducting set when i am listening to stuff from my phone 'cause it's just podcasts and youtube videos

People up-thread were talking about high end IEMs not general purpose devices.

i've been looking forward to seeing this come together for a while now, very cool!

Yeah I bet that 9$ widget definitely won't induce audio quality issues while you pump 60W through it...

It's not being individually priced, people at higher risks are being forced out of their insurance options leaving only low-risk individuals priced in! Non-renewal isn't just some rate adjustment

The CEO of Hyundai hasn't bought a media company to put his mistaken beliefs and bad habits in front of millions of people.

Then this isn't for them

:) When I made the joke I was thinking about energy levels and theoretical physicists'/string theorists insistence that we're just a bit more energy away from evidence of the grand unified theory

just one more accelerator bro. just one slightly larger accelerator than the one we just got online. we can revolutinize physics with just one more accelerator bro

That was a review of someone else's work? https://github.com/tukaani-project/xz/pull/86

It's in a box wrapped up in your peer-reviewed scientific papers

> as a software engineer I know enough to install NixOS and Jellyfin and I even get some kind of masochistic enjoyment from fixing things when they inevitably break, but I cannot imagine my mom going through anything like this, so for her the media landscape has gotten only worse.

Jellyfin supports multiple users, she can mail you some disks ;)

I set this up today, it's very nice, thank you! It indexed more than a decade of photos in a couple of hours and gave me geocoding and "on this date" back more than a decade. I didn't realize I could per-generate thumbnails on my server, too, your docs helped me out a bit there. Have you looked at how much in common the EXIF data elements can be shared with a desktop DAM like Digikam?

I'm looking forward to the Android app being available in an F-Droid repository!

So what are the patents being claimed? I didn't see this in the article.

I've been looking forward to going out there this summer. The guy who sold me my subie told me about camping out there with the subie and a full spare gas can to get back to a gas station

Doing it before night fall and setting up camp :)

Oh come on, Baker was around since the Netscape days. You just don't like her cause she was a Suit, and that's fine. But except for a bunch of engineers Netscape had a bunch of Suits. It's not some conspiracy that a Suit is still running things.

I've got two OLPC XO and one of the mainboards, they're such neat little machines. Never got one of the crank chargers though.

when i was in high school i did an internship at a family friend's ASP.NET shop; we used VSS and I once got a call from an irate coworker who shouted me down for minutes for keeping a file locked after I wasn't using it until I started crying. I wasn't the one who had left the file locked this time; i'd done it in the past and he assumed it was my fault again.

sure do wish someone had checked those boxes for him!

sometimes it's still a surprise to me that I decided this is the career i still wanted to pursue after that experience but i haven't been shouted at like that since then.

And here we are, discovering errors!

Yeah it should be something serious like The Face Book or Twitter or Tumblr or Orkut or X or something!!

I use https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android which has an option to run only every X minutes of each hour, as a decent tradeoff.

This version also ships and Android Quick Settings tile that will start Syncthing for those X minutes and stop it outside of that schedule, so I'll hit the button as I'm putting on shoes to go out after making a shopping list on my phone or what have you
