โ€œUnderstand what almost happened Friday night.

A foreign government attempted to acquire, by contract, control over โ€™s trade relationships, cultural protections, official languages policy, auto industry, and provincial procurement, with a unilateral-enforcement whip attached, and they tried to do it in the dark, at midnight, on a deadline they manufactured.

The 51st state thing was never a joke. It was a mission statement.
Friday was the paperwork.โ€

The first time I watched Return of the Jedi, I wondered how we were supposed to believe that a gelatinous, slimy mound of evil who could barely move around and wholly depended on sycophants to cater to his every whim could have possibly amassed such a fortune that he would inspire fear and be running things.
I get it now. - Toni McGee Causey

"How Russian propaganda works abroad, in one sentence per layer:

For the right: "Russia defends tradition." For the left: "NATO caused this." For the pacifist: "Weapons prolong war." For the cynic: "Everyone lies equally." For the tired: "It's complicated."

Five contradictory messages, one output: do nothing.

Russian propaganda doesn't need you to love Moscow. It needs you paralyzed."

How do you file a kernel bug report. Asking for a friend.

Grumble-grumble. Looks like I got driver/display problems with this random flickering magenta bar on this brand new Dell XPS.

Russia bombed a mall full of people today.

Just, you know, in case you forgot about the full scale war that's going on as a faraway background to our daily lives.

Why are top three of my feed posts about something called "disposable barbecues?" Do I even want to know?

Fellow Canadians, what is your go-to source for laptops these days? Both of my (very much grown up now) kids need one for their school and I'm past the point of getting them Chromebooks, because they are short-lived jank that upload everything to the mothership.

I've been buying System76 for work, but their laptops are expensive and I have to pay high import fees -- plus they are US-based.

My current thinking is some basic Lenovo stuff, but maybe I'm missing something great.

Please, no need to mention Framework -- not interested.

I just found out about "ujust toggle-tpm2" to set up luks and tpm2 integration on boot.

Clearly, we live in the future.

I've dropped anubis difficulty back to 5 and added more mitigations to compensate. Let's see if this helps.

TCP: request_sock_TCPv6: Possible SYN flooding on port [::]:443. Sending cookies.

It's not the cookies I want to send...

If bot attacks get bad enough, is setting up a fallback tor-only node reasonable?
41% Yes, and I like the idea
32% Fine, but I hate the idea
23% No, this is just going to be wasted effort
2% What is TOR?

In-between tweaking sysctl entries for tcp and restarting nginx, I've released b4 v0.16.0:

https://lore.kernel.org/tools/20260805-alluring-arrogant-grouse-ece17a@meerkat/T/#u

If you've tried "b4 review" in its first release and found that it annoyed you too much, it may be worth trying it again, as there was a lot of churn based on everyone's feedback.

I also added the initial "b4 bugs" support that integrates git-bug and distributed bug tracking. It's not ready to go fully yet to replace bugzilla, but we're hopefully getting there once the web submission frontend is ready to go.

E.g. b4's own bug tracking is here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/b4/b4.git/bugs/

(but you'll have to stare at the Anubis screen for a good minute to see it, sigh)
