"The Cacophony Society ... is a randomly gathered network of free spirits united in the pursuit of experiences beyond the pale of mainstream society. Or so they say. They are, in reality, a loosely-knit gang of nutballs who are devoted to having fun at the expense of conformity."

Alas, every link to chapters of the Cacophony Society is a dead end these days. But Burning Man apparently emerged from the collective

@davidgerard @henryk The main ongoing use case for nuclear that I can see is for decarbonizing shipping. The alternative zero carbon power sources are all a bit crap (synthetic fuels: energetically inefficient, ammonia: poisonous as fuck, batteries: range-limited, sails: don't scale up to ULCC size, don't work when the wind don't blow).

It has *always* been true that - in terms of bang-for-buck - smaller dev teams are usually more productive than larger teams. Fred Brooks wrote about this in 1975.

To attribute this to "AI" betrays your lack of understanding of software development fundamentals.

@CCC Wir nähern uns immer mehr dem Anarchokapitalismus wie er in UK auch um sich greift:

Kleinigkeiten werden brutalstmöglich eskaliert über jedes Maß hinaus, während man bei deutlich übleren Vergehen irgendwas macht zwischen wegschauen und Akten sehr, sehr langsam von rechts nach Links schieben.

@stancarey I had no idea. How wonderful.

@acb @cstross i've seen that one going around for a couple of years now! I think I still have my notes. Might pull it out for today's.

Be advised that hundreds of racists will be assembling at Flinders Street Station at midday before marching to parliament.

Given recent attacks on Camp Sovereignty & the fact that a little rich kid racist is assembling the troops agen this Sunday, it'd neat if lots of people attended this I reckon.

@Remittancegirl @mkoek It's £225 per dose (paying privately) in the UK, two doses 6 months apart, so £450. Which is a bit ouchie (I get it for free in another 3 years if I stick within the NHS).

⚠️ Deprecation warning

I’ve deprecated @small-tech/syswide-cas – the fork of the syswide-cas module I was maintaining as the original is unmaintained (and undeprecated) – on engines >=24.5.0 as node:tls now has a setDefaultCACertificates() method you can use natively and the module is no longer required.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@small-tech/syswide-cas

If you’re running node <24.5.0, you shouldn’t notice anything. If you’re running 24.5.0+, you should notice an unsupported engine warning. If you then upgrade to 8.0.0, you should notice a deprecation warning along with the instructions in the readme/change log of version 8.0.0 telling you how you can drop this module and migrate to the native feature.

To migrate, e.g.,

```js
import SyswideCas from '@small-tech/syswide-cas'
SyswideCas.addCAs(myCACertificateFilePath)
```

Becomes:

```js
import tls from 'node:tls'
tls.setDefaultCACertificates([...tls.getCACertificates('default'), myCACertificatePEM])
```

💡 Note that the certificate is passed in PEM format to the node:tls method.

@henryk @cstross it doesn't pump out carbon dioxide, which is a huge reason to take it seriously.

Main problem right now is that unsubsidised nuclear is *expensive*, and wind/solar are cheap down to zero.

Le @Medef c'est cette organisation extrmiste qui, à chaque soubressaut économique, demande des aides publiques pour les sauver, et qui veut en contrepartie veut supprimer les politiques sociales qui cimentent notre société et soutiennent les plus vulnérables.

@haeckerfelix Sounds like not everyone got the memo then...
