@brian Annoyingly, charging is one thing Tesla did really well compared to everyone else. Hopefully, we'll soon be out of the "3 different plugs and 12 different networks operating at 5 different KW loads" morass we're currently in.

I still don't like Teslas in snowy subzero temperatures -- some of the design decisions were clearly made by people who have never lived in a cold climate and don't have to worry that there may be solid ice on the door window or door handles may be frozen shut. Our next car will probably be some other EV.

@brian As someone who has owned an EV in Canada for the past 9 years, I call bull on this story. An EV is no less likely to work in cold temperatures than an ICEV.

@gregkh separately as in "in a separate email sent 0.12 seconds later"?

@Cjust it's a great umask for that purpose, though.

@ironiridis @nivex it's probably just a Fastly misconfiguration. If you send an email to helpdesk@kernel.org, I'll try to fix that tomorrow.

@letoams

@securepaul @brauner Yes, this would call the web endpoint, which would do the actual thread retrieval and mailing.

The "watch" part is a bit more involved, because that would require monitoring a thread for updates, but to just send out a thread to an address would be easy.

@brauner @securepaul Stupidly, Gmail doesn't make it easy to put things into your inbox using the API. If I wanted to write a script that would upload a thread from lore into your Gmail inbox, I would need to first get a developer API token (in my name, or in LF's name), then you as a user of my script would need to OAuth, during which Google will say "do you allow Konstantin full write access to your mailbox," the only sensible answer to which is "heck no."

@securepaul @brauner I did consider adding "b4 watch <msgid>" that would email you the full thread and all updates to it.

@yura yes, I enjoyed it. Doesn't take very long, but it was a very relaxing weekend afternoon.

@plaimbock openarc, nothing fancy.

@torvalds I believe that tree is in a detached state.

Still nothing compared to the bajillion X-MS-* headers set by outlook.

Pardon the header bloat -- we've added ARC signing to all our mailing list messages in order to appease Gmail's new requirements.

Day four of no power and no Internet. This big tree is the reason. One among hundreds in the area, but this is the one that took out *our* power and Internet.

PGE (Portland General Electric) claims we should get power back by 10pm today, but the ice storm arrives today, so we'll see.

Edit: well, it looks like PGE fixed the outage by just removing me from the outage database, not by actually reconnecting power. That was the second time that happened, so I re-re-reported the outage. Not that I was hugely optimistic about the 10pm timeframe, but it looks even less likely now.

I love this soundtrack -- it's been my work music for the past few weeks.

Try the game, too, it's great. Super relaxing (if you don't have a thing against great heights).

The U.S. is a “fat buffalo trying to take a nap” as hungry wolves approach, the European ambassador mused.

“I can hear those Champagne bottle corks popping in Moscow — like it’s Christmas every fucking day.”

As voters cast ballots in the Iowa caucuses Monday, many in the United States see this year’s presidential election as a test of American democracy.
But, in a series of conversations with a dozen current and former diplomats, I sensed that to many of our friends abroad, the U.S. is already failing that test.

The diplomats are aghast that so many U.S. leaders let their zeal for partisan politics prevent the basic functions of government.
It’s a major topic of conversations at their private dinners and gatherings.
Many of those I talked to were granted anonymity to be as candid with me as they are with each other.

Parker Molloy on #Threads screen recorded a Twitter search that appears to show dozens of bots responding to tweets with a boilerplate #OpenAI message.

One user commented:

"The bot activity is coming from inside the house (…) it appears these are stale accounts that were taken back over by XTwitter, turned into Blue Checkmarks and use AI to keep DAU/MAU and other activity metrics higher than they actually are."

None of these ... https://micro.fromjason.xyz/2024/01/09/parker-molloy-on.html

Report: Pastor testifies on the reason evangelicals support Republicans: We “made a deal with the devil”
"That deal was, we would support everything on the conservative agenda," says Robert Schenck and they would give us Roe. Taking rights away from half the population.

In that meeting that I participated in, the conversation went something like this: 'You guys want Roe v. Wade overturned, we can do that for you, but you take the whole enchilada, you take the whole thing,"' he said. "You take everything else that comes with it. Because if you want Roe gone, you have to work with us."

"From that point on that community that I had served, and still do, made a deal with the devil," he said. "That deal was, we would support everything on the conservative agenda, whether or not we had conscientious conflict with them.

The definition of evil, immoral and unethical.

boost, please.
