I run https://bitfolk.com/ and do dog sitting (https://dogsitter.services/), so you should expect too many photos and videos of greyhounds with a bit of tedious computer blah as well.
Apparently this is bridged to bluesky as grifferz.social.bitfolk.com.ap.brid.gy but I'm holding off being there in person since I fear it'll never properly decentralise.
Changes:
apt (3.3.0) unstable; urgency=medium
* Drop warning about unstable CLI interface.
A specific CLI version can now be requested using the --cli-version
flag, and old versions can be deprecated on a reasonable cadence.
Therefore, a warning is no longer necessary.
My photo album tells me it's 5 years ago today that I was first interviewed to look after Spot. Back then he was 5 years old and just a couple of months out of kennels with his new family. That day he was more interested in investigating Bedfont Lakes. These days he's an old boy and mainly likes to be upside down on the sofa.
2021, 2021, last month. 😀 I'm seeing him and Dolly again in a couple of weeks!
Homeless Sonny; Jasmine (black) and Gizmo (blue) using each other for pillows, at the Richmond May Fair last Saturday. My home file server has been broken all week so it took me a while to look at my photos!
TIL that Synology adds non-upstreamed metadata to its implementation of btrfs such that you can't mount a btrfs filesystem from a Synology device without building your own kernel.

Canada's Alberta and Northwest Territories follow British Columbia's lead and go to permanent DST; will remain on UTC-6 from 1st November instead of falling back.
Saskatchewan will probably decide to do the same.

Wow, this enclosure actually has working locator LEDs.

I hope every candidate for Prime Minister watches this.

"modprobe-wrapper is a very simple wrapper for modprobe that implements a whitelist of modules that are allowed to be auto-loaded by the linux kernel. It is mainly useful for attack surface reduction on servers with a relatively static configuration."
tridge defends AI usage in rsync development. I'm still not over his use of Discord in rsync development. 😀
I'm interested in trying out apt-cacher-ultra, because I am a long time user of apt-cacher-ng but have been having serious issues with it for years now and don't see an end to them. I'm otherwise on the verge of just using a regular caching HTTP proxy.
But their contribution policy gives me some pause. They only accept AI-assisted contributions.

I never noticed that the code on screen in The Terminator (1984) was 6502 assembly
What's going on with this Ebay listing? Title says 500G capacity by "Color" option allows to select 4TB. But the price then is about 10% of retail for the described/pictured Samsung 4TB 870 EVO SSD. And what is an "external,. Portable SSD"? Pictured is a SATA SSD.
It all screams scam, but seller has thousands of sales and 99.9% rating.
Damn, for years I have been doing:
# partprobe /dev/sda
to re-read partition tables, when all the time I could have done:
# blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sda
(blockdev is usually installed because it comes from util-linux; partprobe is from parted which isn't usually installed.)

The Bezos distraction
Bezos suggests the average worker is taxed less, INSTEAD of taxing the wealthy more. This would result in governments becoming poorer, but that won't affect the wealthy because they don't rely on public services. He's pushing the same old austerity message.
30-post and counting thread on debian-devel arguing about what the license is/should be of the file that describes what license(s) the rest of the package is under, is one of the most Debian things ever.
Not that I have any formal legal training, but I feel it is a mind trap to treat such things like collecting all the Pokémon.

As the years pass I never cease to be amazed just how much legit and important email gmail users are willing to have simply vanish, and they just consider that what email is now. There can be no greater condemnation of email as a thing we all pretend makes sense.
A customer:
"I suspect our plan is to migrate email hosting away from our own VPS - mailman3 is a bit of a disaster that I hate maintaining and I'm tired of being the only one managing our postfix, dkim, dmarc, etc and much of our email silently not being delivered to gmail anyway!"

"Legends" (Netflix) is good.
So is "Half Man" (BBC).
Surprisingly, Jenny likes Half Man more than Legends. Really not the outcome I expected.
Remember when Sophie Ellis-Bextor's kitchen discos made The Event a little more bearable?
Imagine being one of her kids. Imagine being one of the blokes who watched these videos and felt the need to comment, "great legs but can't sing for toffee". Yes Clive, we all bow to your creative endeavours and shapely legs also, while you invite us into your no doubt perfect family kitchen.
This is a nice Neil Diamond cover.
