I recently saw @pluralistic write about "the Zuckermuskian media" and I thought about how most of us are lucky if we get to coin just one successful neologism in our lifetime and to this guy it's just "Tuesday".

Just for fun, Cory, could you use “slopware” in an article? I think it’s a fine dysphemism for today’s “generative” (read: plagiarative) AI.

When I worked in marketing and we had an older manual or human-intensive digital process nobody wanted to update I'd say in meetings "If we don't get more efficient, someone hungrier than us is going to come along and eat our lunch."

My hunch is that ChatGPT was so busy gorging on the buffet of free money that nobody in the room was willing to step up and say "stop making it bigger and start making it more efficient." Meanwhile, startups in China were either hungrier or lying, but the result is the same.

Western media has omitted history from you. The Red Army liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp 80 years ago today on January 27, 1945. You will likely never hear a Western media source mention this fact, leaving this fact out knowing that people will fill in the blanks themselves and assume that America liberated Auschwitz, not directly lying to you, but lying by omission.

I'm VERY disappointed to see the Amazon Echo Dot at the top of CNN's "29 best WFH products our editors swear by" article.

Most corporations that have a clue warn their work from home employees that #smart voice assistants are dangerous in that they're always listening - to your customer conference calls, your private musings, and other potentially confidential mutterings.

Make sure you've read your company's policies in this regard.

OMG, this is sooo important. Our company is FCA-regulated for example, and at the start of lockdown when most staff began to WFH, there were some serious emails went round from our compliance dude about exactly this. The requirement was basically, "turn those devices off, AND physically move them to another room, while you are engaged in company business - no exceptions".


I'm moving from my bridged fed account to bsky.app/profile/camilabrun.co… at Bsky.

Despite loving the bridge idea I don't have enough control over the account to feel comfortable, and I'd rather get it with a full account than nag devs with a wishlist.

Mastodon remains my main social media though. 😉

@amxmln Fear not, I have no intention of leaving. 😆

It's just some things unfortunately can only be found at Bsky. I'm not very keen on it either, it feels like accidentally wading into the open ocean, and has the issues of being currently centralized, etc.

I was never on Twitter. Not a fan of the general culture of pointless fighting and hot takes.

in reply to Camila Brun

yeah that’s the only reason I made an account over there when I got rid of Twitter. 😅 It’s just always so sad when people I loved interacting with and felt like they were pretty established in the Fedi left for Bsky without a note and abandoned their accounts here.

Glad you’re firmly staying though. 😊

Is there any benefit of using wireguard-client on my router compared to my FreeBSD VM?

also - should I jail it?

Questa voce è stata modificata (3 settimane fa)
in reply to mms +

it depends: do you want to segment the network before reaching your FreeBSD VM or inside it?
Generally speaking, if I'm not configuring it at router level, I'm using wireguard inside the (vnet) jails that will need it.

Two razorbills cuddling at the start of 2024's breeding season.

Razorbills are socially monogamous, like most seabirds, and return to the same nesting spot with the same partner each year. They mate for life, but divorces do happen, for example if one of them proves to be a bad parent, and they re-pair after their partner dies.

Let's hope these had a productive spring and summer, and that their cuddling lead to chicks 🤞🏻

Razorbills in Norway are vulnerable to extinction (red-listed), having seen. population reduction of over 30-50% the past 3 generations. Their biggest threats are overfishing and climate change, and since they spend the majority of their life at sea, only coming on land to breed, they're also easily affected by oil spills.

Descriptions of USB hubs are not helping me.

I have before me an old Macbook Air M1 with two USB-C ports and no dedicated charging port. One of the ports is dead, so I can either charge the computer or use USB to transfer data. I wish to do both at the same time.

Is there a USB hub that will let me send power into the computer while at the same time supporting a USB-to-Ethernet dongle so that I can have a fast route from the laptop to my NAS?

in reply to Brian Marick

I use a Corsair Thunderbolt dock which plugs my (intel Mac) laptop to ethernet, hdmi, and usb. It does data transfer and charging.


I started checking how useful the new well-designed Tallinn–Vilnius timetable actually is for travel to for instance Northern Italy.

Day 1: Leave Helsinki 07:30, reach Vilnius at 21:05. Overnight there.

Day 2: Train to Polish border at 12:35, reach Warszawa at 20:05.

Day 3: Leave at 07:00, reach Zürich at 22:00.

Day 4: No problem reaching Milano, Torino, or Venezia in the afternoon.

Compare to the normal route via Stockholm and Hamburg in follow-up. #Interrail #BahnBubble

The normal route to Central and Southern Europe, using a ship Turku–Stockholm:

Evening of day 1: Leave Helsinki 17:35, ship from Turku, reach Stockholm at 06:10.

Day 2: Leave Stockholm 07:24, reach Hamburg at 19:00, overnight there.

Day 3: Leave Hamburg 06:18, reach Torino in the evening.

I.e. clearly faster. But sure, I have travelled the Stockholm–Hamburg route back and forth many times a year and it can thus seem a bit boring. Decisions, decisions.

As it happens, I travelled Helsinki–Torino this way:

Evening of Wednesday last week: Leave Helsinki 16:35, TallinkSilja ship from Turku 20:15, reach Stockholm 06:10.

Thursday: Leave Stockholm 07:24, reach Hamburg 19:00, night train to Basel 21:52 (from Hamburg-Altona).

Friday: Arrive in Basel 08:10, continue to Lugano 09:03, change there and in Milano, reach Torino 15:10.

(I actually intentionally took a slower "scenic" route from Bellinzona to Torino,)

I'm proud of my deft non-confrontational solution to the student I suspected of using AI for a bunch of club stuff (since it's not an "assignment" my options to use school policy were limited & I didn't want to make the kid feel singled out/exposed)
"For all images on our material it's important to credit the artist or say if it's from a clip art library-- some students have worked hard to design logos, give them credit! All images should have a source!"

Magically all the AI slop has vanished.

in reply to myrmepropagandist

Good to know how well that worked. Once I told the students they didn't need to worry too much about the (formatting) style guidelines, and they took that to mean they could lift other people's texts without attribution.

Don't get me wrong, the American #AI's are also lying and making mistakes. But I have to admit that #ChatGPT is not so obvious lying as Deepseek. Although that can change. 👀

Imagine a future were AI tools from various power blocks are fighting each-other who is the greatest historical revisionist. All that lying costs of course immense energy, making the climate crisis a climate apocalypse, and destroying all human culture and knowledge. All for who has the best lie.

@fringemagnet I played through everything old when a new game came out. So ME1, ME1+2, ME1–3, ME1–3 + Andromeda. Plus another one or two playthroughs of the original series. 😅

When I was revisiting to prepare for a new release, I'd usually play on easy with very little side-questing, so yeah, ME1 usually didn't take that long. It was simply lucky enough to be the first one. 😀

in reply to Sven 🛌

I came to the series *relatively* late, so I played ME1 and ME2 back to back, then when ME3 was getting released I played them again. I think it really adds to the experience having the story fresh, because a ton of things and choices are interconnected throughout the trilogy.
