I was interested to see that there’s an unexplained dip in battery visible on the status page:

I wondered if it was due to a lot of traffic (bots/DDOS/Slashdot effect) but then I noticed it’s behind Cloudflare (cheating a bit, surely?).

Did they send back the original blade as well? I suppose they may as well since they have no use for it and it may be sentimental for the owner.

We need to avoid what I call super-spreader events.

Or what everyone else calls the Kessler syndrome.

Your argument is that a single backup is sufficient? I disagree, and I think that so would most in the selfhosted and datahoarder communities.

That’s a crazy number - 300 AQI is when you get into the final “hazardous” band. 1900 means the needle can go all the way around the dial and comfortably lap the merely hazardous level.

Spent way too long on this…

Today I was in the lucky 10000.

I wish you had made the comment instead, because they’ve deleted theirs now! Can you remember what it was?

What’s going on with the kerning?

This is a lie, unless you know something the article doesn’t mention. The quoted chat log shows the character acting horrified and arguing against it.

What work is actually involved in the Software Bill of Materials stuff? When I search for “Freebsd SBOM” I mostly get references to this news story.

There seems to be tools that generate SBoM reports automatically, is it just a case of adding plugins into the build pipeline?

The North Yorkshire power plant, which burns wood pellets imported from North America

So the trees are grown in America, processed in America and then transported across the Atlantic before getting to Yorkshire? That must use up all the carbon budget before it’s even burnt, surely?

Good, I guess.

It’s understood the same as a middle finger would be, except more Britishly.

Growing up, the story was that it came from when longbows were peak weaponry and the French were chopping the fingers off of captured English archers - the V sign was saying something like “fuck you, I can still shoot you”. There’s insult/defiance/threat in there but it’s not like throwing down the gauntlet (to be clear, we don’t do that gesture any more).

This makes sense.

Using rainfall as a(n inverse) proxy for protests is very clever. Interesting to see how the MLK violent protests actually were counterproductive and increased the republican vote share.

I’d heard this as a plumber who knocked a pipe with a spanner.
