Looking for a new laptop that runs Linux out of the box? Get a ThinkPad!

Lenovo has been offering ThinkPads with Fedora and @ubuntu preinstalled for a few years now. The more people who shop for these devices, the more attention they can give to this business!

Here's an article of someone discovering Lenovo's Linux program: https://news.itsfoss.com/lenovo-cuts-windows-tax/

When I was a kid, we did not spend time as a family watching Ron Jeremy films đŸ€· Not really part of my growth story ...

My "growth story" was more like watching pieces from my friends big brothers German VHS movie collection :---) They were actually quite scary stuff tbh.

In my opinion the title screen for the Mac release of Wizardry was very, very good.

I've done a series that adds support for AF_UNIX sockets in coredumps. Userspace provides an AF_UNIX socket path via core_pattern and the kernel connects to it, shuts down the read side and writes the coredump to the socket.

This means no more super privileged usermode helper upcalls and makes for a very nice API experience. I captured coredumps simply via socat:

https://lore.kernel.org/20250430-work-coredump-socket-v1-0-2faf027dbb47@kernel.org

The receiver can use SO_PEERPIDFD to get a stable handle on the crashed process.

If I was a dictator of this world, I would forbid cameras in phones :-) They net so much more harm than they do good.

I came across information that the original quote in Futurism which said 99% electricity use was incorrect.
https://futurism.com/google-ceo-congress-electricity-ai-superintelligence

The transcript says “3% to 9%”.
https://www.techpolicy.press/transcript-us-lawmakers-probe-ais-role-in-energy-and-climate/

The larger point remains, though. AI and data center energy and water use is surging, and we are only at the beginning of this whole thing. For years, data centers energy use stayed below 1% and we were told not to worry. In countries like Ireland, data center energy use is now already over 20%
