Man, that took forever, actually
@jenniferplusplus lol, 205lbs -> 220.5lbs in about one month sounds turbo fast to me!
Curious, are you mostly hitting leg stuff or all over? I'm mostly even, with probably some disproportionate focus on my upper back because getting to chinup/pullup territory feels very compelling to me.

Wow. In GB gibt es gerade eine große Medienkampagne, die sich gegen #Autismus und #ADHS richtet und bei der den Menschen ihre Diagnosen abgesprochen wird.
Kurz: Wer sprechen kann und keine 24-h-Betreuung braucht, kann kein*e Autist*in sein und wer auf Regelschulen gehen kann, ist kein*e ADHSler*in.
Ein hasserfüllter, reaktionärer Backlash gegen alles, was nicht in die reaktionäre Vorstellung von "Normal" passt.

Since the upcoming #hacktoberfest seems to become #sloptoberfest (see https://hacktoberfest.com), I had an idea: what if there was a community organized counter point from the @Codeberg users? It could be called #hacktoberg or something like that.
Good morning from Samara Oblast, Russia, where both the refinery in Novokuybyshevsk (1), and the Ozon e-commerce warehouse in Chapaevsk (2) are wondering if war with Ukraine was a good idea…
Because it is coming home.

Have an excellent day in the free world. 🌞

In related news, Russians grew less optimistic about the war over summer

Ich kann ab heute die @bhlounge nicht nur von hören-sagen empfehlen, sondern auch persönlich. War dort alleine hingegangen und hatte keine Ahnung von nix. Srsly. Als trans habe ich mich sehr wohl aufgehoben gefühlt. Die Beratung war nett, beruhigend und die Nervosität wurde mir genommen. Viel liebe dafür.

The kernel is able to generate random numbers that, as far as anybody knows, are not predictable, but doing so takes time — more time than the network stack is willing to wait.
this is the whole problem with the linux monolithic model. if you need to generate a new random port number on demand you should do that securely and in advance
@dlakelan cc @voltagex i found this paper from dobrushin on the fallacy of shannon's model of entropy to be enlightening https://projecteuclid.org/ebooks/berkeley-symposium-on-mathematical-statistics-and-probability/Proceedings-of-the-Fourth-Berkeley-Symposium-on-Mathematical-Statistics-and/chapter/Mathematical-Problems-in-the-Shannon-Theory-of-Optimal-Coding-of/bsmsp/1200512168.pdf

As I am missing a few followers in my instance move, it is with an actual purpose that I say:
It's my birthday, give me boosts.
@rimu Thanks. Since FEP-1a11 documents PieFed behaviour and only addresses Likes/Dislikes/Undo in FEP-1b12 Groups, I figured a new FEP would be useful. This one is for any activity to any actor(s)

BREAKING: After losing Florida’s Senate primary to Angie Nixon, Alex Vindman is putting his powerful fundraising network behind her campaign.
Nixon defeated him despite being outraised roughly 17 to 1. Now, instead of nursing wounds, Vindman is helping her take on Republican Sen. Ashley Moody.
The message he’s sending is no bitterness. No division. Country and party before ego.

this is the guy who brags about being part of the conspiracy that assassinated Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin.
this is the guy who was found guilty of #terrorism by #Israel and served prison time for it.
this is the guy who may still be in USA’s no-entry terrorism lists.
this is the guy who was empowered by the corporatist fascists of the #DemocraticParty; who, like #JoeBiden, called themselves “christian zionists” while accusing #GenZ of #antisemitism for protesting Palestinian #genocide

Haaa. Check out this entry I found by accident in the Vermont State University directory: Max the Cat
Private donations don’t give a president a blank check.
Trump argues privately donated money means he doesn’t need Congress’ approval for his $400 million White House ballroom. Federal judges have disagreed, but the Supreme Court has put that judgment on hold temporarily.
Here’s why “patriotic” donations still come with legal strings attached:

@TheConversationUS
The next Democratic president should rip it down and impound Trump's property to pay for demolition and restoration of the original.
Yeah, blame Parker. Fuck that guy.
@mia freaking Parker!!!
Couldn't resist letting myself get nerd-sniped back into #emacs. I never fully left anyway.
This time around I'm determined NOT to try to fit my entire computing life into it and (mostly) just use it as an editor.
Anyway, nice to see how far it's come. So many things are usable out of the box now. My `init.el` is less than 70 lines (cosmetics and bindings, some packages), but thanks to project.el, eglot, and completion-preview, you have an IMO pretty decent coding experience right away.
