Star Trek Academy is basically Harry Potter in space. They even have a Harry Potter music score.

The worst part about bazzite so far is how hard it is to install Fallout mods. Got MO2 working, but can't yet figure out how to scale the interface to 200% so it's actually legible on the 4K screen, or how to pass nexus URLs to it from Firefox.

I hope korgalore is useful for maintainers!

However, the main reason I wrote korgalore is so that I can ban people from subscribing to lkml with gmail.com addresses. 😈

If Putin could do another holodomor, he would totally do it.

I released korgalore 0.3

It's a neat little tool that lets maintainers "subscribe" to mailing lists without actually subscribing to mailing lists. Supports delivering to Gmail, IMAP, JMAP, local maildir, etc. Requires "lei" to do a lot of things, so make sure that's installed.

Lots of new features in this release, including `kgl track-subsystem` that will try to automatically set up lei queries based on the subsystem you're interested in.

Lots more testing needed of the new features, so will be happy if others try it out.

According to Tech Radar, a reason to avoid using Vivaldi web browser is "No AI-powered assistant". Yup - and we're proud of it! If you don't want slop while you shop, or scurf while you surf, give the European browser a try.

Got tired of constantly clicking "remind me later," so the gaming PC is now running Bazzite.

Greenland should follow Cuba's example and lease Americans a 45 square mile area of the island for a naval base. Call it Epstein Bay.

Google Cloud Console wanted a logo, so korgalore now has a logo.

Look, ma, I wrote my first ui. (Okay, opus wrote it for me, but I promise that I reviewed it very carefully).

Well, I just spent 2 hours of my Sunday dealing with a distributed crawler bot. It's backed off for now, but I am now definitely putting in dataset poisoning, because this is the only measure I can think of that will make the crawlers' authors think twice about abusing public services.

Geez, everyone is dumping on PGP these days.

(Okay, fine, so PGP here stands for "Parents and Grandparents Program.)

My dad, who never cursed around us when we were kids, used a funny German phrase instead when he felt like saying something spicy in a polite company: "donner wetter." I always thought it was something that he made up or read in a book (he'd studied German when he was in school).

However, now that I know that there's a definite Volga German lineage in our DNA, I'm actually curious if he'd heard it himself as a kid, as a kind of linguistic family heirloom.

Is "donner wetter" a real thing Germans say, or is it just some kind of "gosh darn" equivalent of a heftier swear?

The crawler that pretended to be b4 is now pretending to be curl. This is a little trickier, but we can still deal with it.

If you have a legitimate tool that is now suddenly returning 403s, please reach out to me.

So, the aggressive crawler that pretends to be b4 in the user-agent is back hitting lore full force, this time hitting EU instead of APAC.

Thankfully, knowing a thing or two about b4, I can easily tell fake b4 traffic from real b4 traffic. Enjoy a ton of 404's, jerk.
