I came here to say this. If anyone’s interested, here’s unedited footage of a bear.

Nothing more dangerous than a female haggis guarding her neeps.

No. Yes. Kind of.

My home setup is three ProLiant towers in a ProxMox cluster. One box handles all-the-time stuff like OpenWRT, file server, email, backups, and - crucially - Home Assistant and is UPS protected because of how important it’s jobs are. The other two are powered up based on energy costs; Home Assistant turns them on for the cheapest six hours of the day or when energy costs are negative and they perform intensive things like sailing the high seas, preemptive video transcoding, BOINC workloads and such. The other boxes in the photo are also on all the time basically being used as disk enclosures for the file server and they are full of mismatched hard disks that spend virtually all their time asleep. At rest the whole setup pulls about 35-40W.

RCS can be encrypted, but it’s optional. The reason is that RCS was originally designed to be run by the network operators who are generally required to be able to log all the messages they handle.

Hey. Heyhey. Heyheyhey. Have you ever noticed that your warships have giant barcodes on them? It’s so that when they return to port they can scan the navy in.

Also, st can fuck off. Just in general. It’s harder to write than it’s constituent letters.

Honestly I’m loving my FP5. I liked my previous two handsets, but between locked bootloaders and lack of support after a few years they weren’t much use to me. I’m looking forward to a another eight years or so with this one, though.

You can see what they’re smoking?

I won’t bother. Sounds like hurd work.

To add to this: you can install an open-source app called Shelter which will let you quickly set up a Work Profile for apps you want to keep isolated.

Man, wait until these people hear about the filesystem and kernel.

What a dick you are.

No-one is going to snatch your locked, trackable, account-associated, encrypted phone out of your hands. But a wallet full of cash and debit cards? A much better target.

You carry a bunch of random shit around with you? Well, some of us prefer to carry the utter minimal.

Phone crashes? What phone do you have that regularly crashes in this, the year of our Luigi 2024?

Network outage? That’s not how it works.

Dead battery? Anyone bothered by this has already got a solution.

Here’s the thing: I also don’t use my phone for payment much for same reasons as you, but I don’t feel the need act like a total cunt about it.

Without wishing to give too much away, I know a group of people who work at a public transport agency in the UK. They recently had a meeting with Google about “opening up our data” which amounted to Google wanting the agency to sign a contract that would give Google exclusive rights to realtime and scheduling data in perpetuity, then Google would decide if/when/how it would be made public. The agency didn’t say “fuck off”, but something to that effect.

Now, instead, they’re working with a group of students to create a public API with a permissable licence and a framework for other agencies to do the same.

So… maybe do hold your breath? Transit is one of those areas that attracts nerds and nerds love open source.

Bring your cars inside.

There’s a story or comic I read recently about a man who realises he is a Boltzmann Brain and had dreamt up the world around him to stave off madness.

The German Duck People made a video about it:

I have no horse in this race but anyone who has ever used a Fiat Multipla will know what a complement this is for Slackware.

Rookie. I have a shell script on my phone that SSHs into my computer and reboots.
