The "alien spaceship" display at the Canada Science and Technology Museum has a screen that's just a bunch of htop, ping sessions, and matrix screensavers and I'm legit curious if it's sourcing them from those "your vnc port is open" sites.

Geez, don't send me a "friendly reminder" to fill out your voluntary customer survey. It's the business speak equivalent of ending your request with "or suffer the consequences."

@LWN kernel.org is equally moving much sooner than we'd expected.

@brauner With b4-0.14 -- yes, for sure. It will automatically set dependencies, too, I believe.

I am so amused by the whining from the data scraping tech bros about (GASP) the data scraping being done by other people...
https://www.404media.co/openai-furious-deepseek-might-have-stolen-all-the-data-openai-stole-from-us/

Of course we'll go from vilification, to banning, to public subsidy of the domestic tech bros in order to protect our "lead" in... whatever it is that the current type of garbage GenAI is good for.

Oh, wait, we already jumped to the last part

Somehow people think that when you switch from Linux to BSD, it makes us upset.

BSDs are nice! Totally go try them out! Monocultures are bad regardless of your platform of choice, so as long as we can still all interoperate on the network level, you're making the world a more resilient place.

Tesla's gesture recognition is getting really good. If you do the nazi salute while autopilot is engaged, the car will automatically merge into the far right lane.

How good is public-inbox? I just realized last weekend that I messed up after the last reinstall, so every lore node was running a single public-inbox-httpd worker (as opposed to 8 of them). The fact that it still worked and just occasionally got slow is really quite impressive, considering how much crawlers hit it.

Me: "the Swedish Chef" is a parody. Scandinavian languages don't sound like that.
Duo: say "Vi liker ikke dyre smykker."

Remember the old adage "It isn't true until the Kremlin officially denies it"? You now can safely replace "Kremlin" with "Trump administration" and you're still right, IMHO.

I shudder to think how many mindless site crawlers $500 billion can fund.
