British Columbia passed a law that they're done with biennial DST changes starting next year and a bunch of people are fauxpset that they picked "permanent DST" as the solution instead of "permanent standard time."
As someone who, for a long time, was in charge of scheduling games for his local baseball association, let me tell you that "permanent standard time" would be a disaster for summer-time organized sports. All of your fields without lights would instantly become pretty much unusable if the sun sets at 7:30 instead of 8:30 in July.
Your circadian rhythms will be fine, you ninnies -- your young parents won't be if Jimmy can't play his favourite game any more because his local municipal budget doesn't have any money to install floodlights.

June 2023: a Google data center in France floods and they call it a “water intrusion event”
March 2026: an Amazon data center in the Middle East is literally struck by a fucking ballistic missile in a hot war and they call it “impacted by objects”

b4 review getting started documentation, with screencasts:
https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/reviewer/getting-started.html
Still requires unreleased master version -- I'm hoping for some initial tests before I release 0.15.

b4 review landed in b4 master. I'll post a bunch of stuff tomorrow announcing it, but if you want to give it an early whirl, go ahead. The docs are a bit scant, but they should get you started.
You'll need python textual framework. To start, run "b4 review enroll" in a repo where you'll be reviewing code. Then run "b4 review tui". After that, you can run "b4 review track <msgid>" to pull in a series to review.
Please poke around and break things. I'm sure that won't be too hard.

Remember how computers in the Start Trek TOS speak in a flat, monotonous machine voice? I think we should retcon that to be a deliberate policy choice implemented as a result of mass psychological trauma experienced by humanity in early eras of AI. A kind of intentional design choice similar how North American outlets present as scary frowny faces.

Here's an asciinema recording of the current state of b4 review:
https://asciinema.org/a/795683
It shows patchwork integration, reviewing series, taking series, sending thank-you notes, etc.
It's still rough around the ages, but it's doing useful things. I hope to release it as "pre-alpha" soon.

4 years of war in Ukraine
Show content
Today begins year 5 of Russia's full scale aggression against Ukraine and it will soon be 12 years since Russia first started this war by illegally occupying and then annexing Crimea.
Fuck Putin, fuck everyone who supported this invasion then, and especially fuck those who through greed, cowardice, or direct allegiance maintain Putin in power today: Kim, Fico, Orban, Xi, Trump.
Ukraine is the only power directly opposing Putin today, which is why I will continue to support it until Putin is defeated, until Russia restores the borders in their 1991 configuration and commits to pay reparations for all the grievous damage it's done and continues to do. Glory to Ukrainians and everyone fighting on their side -- may we all have their resolve and courage when it's time to take arms to defend our homes against a large and bloodthirsty neighbour who comes to pillage and kill.

girlonthenet@mastodon.socialWhen YouTube says 'this is not available in your country' it should also list the countries where it *is* available, so I know which one to set my VPN to.

Gemini, please convert this response into a politely worded email:
Hi:
Your vulnerability report is stupid. You have no idea what you're talking about, or you're hoping that nobody actually checks your findings. Unfortunately for me, I did check your findings and I will never get these 20 minutes of my life back. Everyone is dumber as a result of your report. Please do not contact us again.

Every "why is English like that" question is answered simply by stating the obvious fact: modern English is an islander creole language that layers many waves of colonizations.

The RAID6 array is rebuilding, but it will be a whiiiiiile. And, of course, there's always the chance that another drive will decide to give up the ghost while the rebuild is going ahead and we'll be up a creek.

mirrors.kernel.org is down because it threw 2 disks in a RAID-6 array and then ground itself to a halt. I'm trying to resuscitate it. Please use mirrors.edge.kernel.org (it's pointing at our only remaining server that is now up, in Amsterdam).
We need more redundancy for these systems. After exiting Equinix, we are reduced to just 2 nodes (and hence, we're now down to 1 until I rebuild the RAID array on the one that's currently offline).
If you can donate us a server with at least 70TB of space and lots of bandwidth, I'd like to hear from you, but it has to come with hosting, as we don't have any physical datacentres any more and must rely on the kindness of strangers to host them.
