I've updated Griode (my Launchpad-and-Raspberry-Pi-in-a-trenchcoat DIY music instrument!) so that it runs on modern Python (therefore, on modern Raspberry Pi OS).
Changes include:
- new persistence layer (settings are saved in individual YAML files instead of Python shelve databases)
- support for USB audio interfaces (better quality, higher volume, lower latency than the Pi's built-in audio)
- better hotplug support (unplugging/replugging a Launchpad should now work correctly)
If you wonder what Griode is, here are a few demo videos:

@hazelweakly this is giving me flashbacks to conversations 15 years ago, when I was running a PAAS and my boss wanted us to provide uptime figures.
"Well, do you want the availability of our API endpoint on some basic call? End to end testing that deploying a basic app works? Aggregated uptime of our customers' apps? (Why if they're down by their own fault?) Of their deployment attempts? Should we compute an average weighted by, say, the revenue for each customer?"
The worst part is that 15 years later, I don't think I'm in a better position to answer these questions 😅

@itamarst@hachyderm.io @Lana@beige.party 100% this. Fwiw i called the two companies that hold my 401k and other investments; and was able to verify that my portfolio didn't include nasdaq 100. The closest thing was an index fund but that will be recomposed in December so that gives me some time to figure out what to do.
I agree that the whole thing is a scam and that a bunch of people should go straight to jail if we weren't in an utterly corrupt country; however people *can* absolutely do something about it, even if it's definitely tedious.

I travel frequently between Berlin and Paris by train.
It takes almost 6 hours to do Berlin-Strasbourg (about 750km), and less than 2 hours to do Strasbourg-Paris (about 500km).
The effective speed on that route is therefore 125 km/h on the German section, and 250 km/h on the French section.
(This is for the express train that only stops in Frankfurt, Mannheim, Karlsruhe. If you take other trains the German section is even slower.)
That's why some people consider German trains to be slow as fuck. I hope from the bottom of my heart that it'll get better once the big infrastructure works that are currently underway are complete, and that it can bring the Berlin-Paris trip to 6 hours or less - ideally with more than a single departure per day at 7am, and more like the comparable Lille-Marseille route (1000km in less than 5 hours, with 5+ departures per day).
Oh also don't get me started on comfort in ICE trains - I'd pick 2nd class TGV over 1st class ICE any day, mostly because of the size and position of the tablets.

@NilaJones @datum same! If I hadn't heard a podcast about prions* recently, I'd have thought that was bonkers 😅
*If I understood correctly, prions (or some prions ?) have the same composition as some normal proteins but a different spatial shape. When the prion bumps into that protein, it changes the configuration of that protein to be the same as the prion. Rinse, repeat, chain reaction, and suddenly things get real bad (because of course the prion can't do whatever function that protein was supposed to do in the organism).
I received an obvious phishing/scam email, so out of curiosity, I clicked (for the first time ever) on "AI overview" in GMail to see what it'd say about it.

The first time i read a shitpost about that, i thought the same thing as you did, "haha that's a funny and brilliant way to remind us that trains exist and are great".
Then i did some research and reading and i suggest you do too; you'll learn that rail freight is already extremely developed pretty much everywhere; cheaper than road freight; and when trucks are used, it's not because some fucker wanted to burn oil for fun but because rail didn't work for that.
So yes, electric trucks are, in fact, not a dumb idea.
Sure it would be even better to engage less in our ultra consumerist society and buy less random garbage so that eventually results in less trucks on the roads - and less trains on tracks, because in the US, one of the reasons why passenger trains suck so much is because the tracks are saturated with freight trains, whose traffic has a higher priority.
You're welcome!

@susankayequinn @JessTheUnstill @InkySchwartz agreed; personal anecdotal experience, I could see a huge change in charger density (and availability) within just a few years. A while back I rented an EV for a 400km trip and remember barely making it to a charger on a few % battery (after driving past 3 ones that were out of order) ; now I own one and regularly drive it on 500+ miles trips in the US Midwest (across rather desert areas) with no problem whatsoever. Apps like ABRP are also super helpful!

In theory, yes, that sounds like a compelling argument (using LLMs for obscure stuff we don't have the time to learn).
In practice, though?
I teach docker and k8s, and whenever the time comes to write Dockerfiles, YAML manifests, and the like, I show students multiple techniques: editing examples found in the docs, generating them with tools, and now with LLMs.
The LLMs invariably generate suboptimal results. At best they add some extraneous stuff that doesn't harm too much beyond readability and maintenance of the result; at worse the outcome is just broken in ways that are not immediately obvious.
I can notice it and point it out to the students because I have a decade-ish of experience with these tools. Somebody with less experience won't know.
(And no, it's not "getting better"; at least not in a game-changing way.)
It's still useful as a stopgap (if some build pipeline needs a Dockerfile and you don't know how to write one, it might save you). Something I've been advocating for in that field is that you don't need the whole team to know the ins and outs of e.g. Dockerfiles, but you almost certainly need to have at least 1-2 people who are well versed with it. If you replace your in-house Dockerfile experts with Claude, the output will suffer, and you won't even be able to know how deep.

If I understand correctly, as soon as an AUR doesn't have a maintainer anymore (because the maintainer removes themselves), the AUR can be adopted by someone else.
It looks like it happened e.g. for stripe-cli:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/stripe-cli
(Very short timeline between the maintainer removing themselves and the package being adopted + malwarized.)
Note: the hostile commits were already removed from the AUR git repo for that package.

Are there some reliable metrics on the safety of various social networks for different populations? (I feel like this is a hard question because I don't even know where to start if I were to measure that. Number of hateful messages received per N messages seen? Sent? Per unit of time? Which population categories should we consider? How do we determine what constitutes a hateful message?)

@lzg I suppose that you meant "they had their backups in the same cloud account, and the credentials they were using had delete permission on said backups, and they didn't know about or didn't set up a safety net with lifecycle rules or whatever", which amounts to the same but is alas a mistake that's much easier to make (I'd bet that a huge majority of folks out there, when provisioning infra, use credentials that also have permission to destroy backups!)

@arichtman @lina@vt.social
Yeah if memory serves me well, if you reconfigure the logger to output container logs to journald, it's pretty swell; except you have to use journalctl to consume these logs then.
In an ideal scenario, the Docker "logging drivers" would not only have a sink (where should logs go?) but also a query interface, so that "docker logs" (and the Docker API) lets you access them; but... many logging systems don't support real-time streaming with a low enough latency; so I think that discouraged people from tackling this issue.
Back to @lina's point, though, she's right that the status quo sucks; I hope this can and will be changed eventually, like many other quirks of Docker (e.g. the "version:" field in Compose files, the way Compose used to handle env vars, ... just a couple of examples off the top of my head)
@lina@vt.social that's because some folks have containers that don't output much logs but run for a long time, so that would be annoying for them. And auto rotating after e.g. 100MB would also be annoying for the folks who expect to be able to access multiple gigs of logs at once. And auto rotating on, say, X% of disk usage would lead to rather impredictible situations, which also sucks.
It's not great, but if you want to run docker in production, you're expected to take care of a few things - the same way that if you want to run prod stuff on, say, a Linux machine, you're expected to set up backups, log shipping, perform regular upgrades, etc. - these things are essential and if you don't do them, sooner or later stiff will break.

@R1Rail@pouet.chapril.org @avrona@masto.bike tu peux entraîner un tout petit modèle capable de reconnaître juste ces phonèmes là pour pas cher* - un peu comme un chien est capable de reconnaître quand on appelle son nom mais pas de comprendre s'il fera beau ou pas en écoutant la météo.
*Reconnaître juste ces phonèmes d'activation ça peut se faire avec une petite fraction de la puissance d'un rasp pi par exemple ; tandis que transcrire une conversation avec une qualité correcte ça va facilement consommer un GPU grand public quasiment à pleine balle.
Je ne défends pas l'idée originale hein, mais ce qui m'inquiète c'est davantage une fuite de données (qui finira bien par arriver tant qu'il n'y aura pas, par exemple, des sanctions beaucoup plus fortes pour défaut de sécurisation) que le risque de surveillance (qui existe mais concerne amha pas grand monde dans le cadre d'appels téléphoniques en 2026).

@nileane@nileane.fr ça doit vachement dépendre des endroits.
Il y a quelques années j'étais à un barbec chez un pote et le tour de France passait devant chez lui. Ok la rue était bloquée quelques heures, et il y a eu un peu de bruit au moment du passage du tour mais ça a vraiment pas duré longtemps et le reste du temps on aurait pu oublier que c'était là.
Par contraste en 98 dans la banlieue calme où j'habitais ça a été le bordel pendant toute la soirée après un certain match de coupe du monde. Sachant que j'habitais pas près d'un stade, de bars, d'un lieu de vie quelconque, ni dans une rue connectant quoi que ce soit, donc j'avais vraiment l'impression que des pélos avaient décidé de fêter ça en sortant en caisse et en klaxonnant pendant des heures.
Je te passe aussi l'effet "pas ce soir, y a un match" quand tu veux sortir boire un verre avec des potes ou un·e date et que tu sais que ça va être impossible d'avoir une conversation dans un bar à cause des téloches avec le son à donf et les gens en train de gueuler.
Je suis pas fan de cyclisme (et encore moins du tour), et je trouve ça cool que les gens se retrouvent dans des tiers lieux pour faire société autour d'un événement, mais dire que le tour dérange davantage que la coupe du monde, ça correspond pas du tout à mon expérience vécue 🤔

La conversation est déjà « écoutée », afin de détecter les DTMF (par exemple, pour les fonctionalités de double appel).
Bien sûr, la détection de DTMF c'est encore plus facile que la détection de phonèmes d'activation (et heureusement :)) mais le signal audio de nos conversations téléphoniques passe déjà dans des outils d'analyse de signal.
Par contre, oui, 100% d'accord sur le fait que si il y a *enregistrement*, c'est vite la porte ouverte à toutes les fenêtres ... Principalement pour les raisons évoquées plus haut dans le thread - données mal protégées, fuite, etc.
Okay #berlin friends, we're doing this again !
