So uhm has anyone here ever moved abroad by themselves? And by any chance to a much smaller town?
I feel like I'm about to commit social su*cide 🥲 #moveabroad
@Gina the hardest days are the first ones, until your get you balance, your space, your comfort zone, your happiness.
It will come, with time, for me personally I don't care were I'm at, i just need my wife, my daughters, my cats.
Miss them every day.
heck yeah, from 100% CPU usage down to just 12%. now I just need to draw the rest of the fucking owl
@slyka I'm not sure what a vector scope plot does but this is real pretty!
In my first proper job I was reported to HR for wearing a badge that was highly offensive. It was the Douglas Adams line "I know where my towel is." Apparently the lady who worked the photocopier thought it was a tampon reference.
White Nationalist Jake Lang came to Minneapolis and got fucking smacked the fuck up by a dude dressed like Spiderman.

First teacher work day of the new year is tomorrow.
Do I start the new year with riding my bike to school and setting the habit early? Or do I ease in?
Having an impromptu dinner with friends in a little bit at Cheddar’s scratch kitchen. It will cost a bit to get there and back, but we have a gift card for the restaurant itself, so it’s sort of evens out, and we are dual income, no kids, so who cares? LOL.
Big success of this week: I got all my coworkers to stop using LLMs by making a pretty good security and data protection argument.
Please clap.
Friends, have you seen the investigation on UK students, including those at Oxford and Cambridge, hiring Kenyans to write their papers and dissertations?
I assume it wasn't cross Atlantic news as the media only seems to be interested in laundering eugenics into the mainstream.
Think about the audacity of them telling Black people that we're subpar DEI hires and frauds such and these students hiring Black people to do their work for them and pass it off as their own.

If you live outside of the United States,
do you know if your country has a plan if the US government decided to cut access to Google, Microsoft, and Amazon products overnight?
What would happen to your work?
What would happen to your hospitals?
What would happen to your emergency services?
What would happen to your banks?
Imagine overnight, for all those public services and private businesses, no more Windows, no more AWS, no more Google and Microsoft office software, no more remote files storage, no more emails, no more online maps, no more videochats.
What would happen?
Is your country prepared?
@Em0nM4stodon Say it with me now:
The cloud is someone else's computer.
@trwnh I think a decent idea would be for servers to only act on follow & unfollow requests at fixed intervals.
So that when you press follow, you tell your server that you intend to follow, but the server just says "I'll put that request in the next bucket". The buckets of requests get sent every 15 mins (say), and if you click unfollow and refollow and unfollow or whatever before that bucket of requests is sent, then it just updates what it is the bucket; which is easy because its local.
Downside would be that you might miss a post of someone you just followed if they sent the post before your bucket went out.
@karadoc Maybe, but the fundamental root of the issue is that servers need to coordinate perfectly to sync follower state in the first place.
So for an optimal fix, you need to allow for fetching the latest state on the tracking server, and/or you need to put the question entirely into the hands of the tracking server.
The fact you can't verify whether a follow relationship still exists is a major flaw of the current model.
@gizmomathboy honestly I had forgotten about the framework/dhh drama. For whatever reason, my YouTube feed is full of people either talking up Omarchy or interviewing DHH, amd it’s annoying AF
When headlines say "AI" has done something cool:
1. They're probably talking about a technique/algorithm trained on a relatively small number of relevant data points, collected for this or a related task, NOT a general purpose LLM chatbot
2. If they are referring to a chatbot and claim it is doing something amazing, it's probably a lie, an exaggeration, criti-hype, or an unfalsifiable claim about the distant future
3. The equivocation between the AI's in 1 and LLM chatbots is intentional
@TheBreadmonkey I hadn't fallen madly in love with *any* artists this #greenMan2026, but then I saw Automatic singer Izzy Glaudini. Sigh.
The drummer is quite a dreamboat, too.
@substandardnerd any good photos gratefully received.

Hmm, in case it's a problem with the domain rather than the files themself, here they are in two different file sharing systems:
- The Radical Routes nextcloud: https://files.radicalroutes.org.uk/s/5W7yBAAxx4xN4G4
- Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Dn3iYa7Or3uSgOoOwJWeFi5RJD7S4sV-?usp=sharing
If you'd like the files by email, drop a note to perennial@riseup.net and I'll happily send them via that.
I was just today listening to Zack Polanski talking with William Dalrymple who gives an excoriating and masterful account of the line of UK cruelty from India to Ireland to Palestine, Kenya, back to Ireland and more https://overcast.fm/+BRTD2_D818

Bonjour, si quelqu'un veut faire #avignon tgv-#marseille ce jeudi à 15h30-16h08, je donne mon billet Ouigo.
Pas de portique en gare, pas de contrôle d'identité.
Raison : en prenant le billet je me suis trompé de mois, et impossible d'annuler/rembourser après.
@AugierLe42e @dada Il y a des GENS.
@ayoli @AugierLe42e @dada il y a des gens qui bouffent du popcorn 🤢🤢
Bill Greiman's SdFat library has become a core component of the broader field of Arduino libraries, providing a way to read/write files on a FAT-formatted SD card. It is core to Papyrix so it has somewhere to store the books you want to read, & I plan to use it to store your addressbooks & texting-history amongst other things.
This is a non-trivial task so today I'm looking at the entrypoint & splitting my study into 3 additional pieces.
1/3?
