It may not be snowing in Seattle (yet), but that didn't stop me from 3D printing The Kit Kiln's new, free Snowspeeder model with PolyMaker PLA live on twitch.tv/MakerDeck this week. I entertained my neighbors by making "schwzzzzz" and "yeaaaarnnmmmm" sounds as I took this photo.

So I have a IBM POWER S822 server that needs to find a new home.
It has:
1 TB RAM
6x 300GB 15k SAS drives
12 fiber channel Ethernet jacks
8 RJ45 Ethernet jacks
SAS expander card
Note in advance: it uses 240V power. It will not run on 120V.
I'm asking $700 for it. Local pickup in the Seattle suburbs.
I am willing to ship it, but it'll cost you $200 in shipping (it's large and heavy)
The video begins with a view of a small, corrugated metal structure with a blue sign displaying Chinese characters, positioned on a dirt path. The structure is surrounded by dry vegetation and two large, empty wooden buckets are placed on the ground near it. The background features a hillside with brown, dry plants. A small white truck with an orange rear bumper approaches from the right side of the frame, stops near the structure, and a person exits the vehicle. The person, dressed in dark clothing, opens the truck's rear door and appears to be unloading or loading items. The scene remains static with the truck and the person near the structure.
The video continues with the same small, corrugated metal structure and the blue sign with Chinese characters. The white truck with the orange rear bumper is now parked near the structure, and the person in dark clothing is seen near the truck, handling the large wooden buckets. The person appears to be engaged in an activity involving the buckets, possibly filling or emptying them. The background remains consistent with dry vegetation and a hillside. The scene remains static with the person and the truck near the structure.

FPF filed a FOIA request to find out if the Trump administration had a legal rationale for killing 11 people in an attack on a Venezuelan boat.
Our fight, even if successful, will take months.
It shouldn’t be this hard to find out 1) what the government believes the law is, and 2) how it intends to apply it.

Blogparade: Bar oder unbar
blog.sengotta.net/blogparade-b…
Mein erster Beitrag zur Blogparade von Erik und Jürgen, allein schon weil das Thema ganz gut zu meinem Blogpost Digitale Souveränität – Paypal ist nicht unser einziges Problem passt, und zeigt das ich natürlich auch nicht von diesem System frei bin.
Ja wie zahlen wir also vornehmlich in unserer Familie? Die Antwort ist wirklich einfach: sicher zu 95% unbar. Schöne Wortschöpfung übrigens. Dabei sind meine Frau und ich jetzt Anfang 40, also keine digital Natives. Wir haben die Zeit noch mitgekriegt wo so gut wie nix in Deutschland ohne Bargeld ging. Und wir sind echt froh das sich das seit Covid 19 sehr geändert hat.
Der Wocheneinkauf, zum Beispiel, wird uns geliefert. Lange ist bei uns schon die Zeit vorbei wo ich Freitags nach der Arbeit losgefahren bin um verschiedene Discounter und Supermärkte abzuklappern. Mindestens zwei Stunden gingen dabei verloren, unzähliges Überflüssiges landete im Wagen, die Waren gingen zig mal durch meine Hände und am Ende musste ich alles in den dritten Stock schleppen. Heute wird es geliefert und die Bezahlung erfolgt per Lastschrift.
Muss ich doch mal lokal Besorgungen machen zahle ich digital, in der Regel via Apple Pay. Zwei Klicks auf der Smartwatch, ans Lesegerät gehalten und es ist bezahlt. Oftmals geht das schneller als das lästige: ich hab es passend. Ganz ehrlich: wie hasse ich das wenn Leute erst einmal zwei Minuten nach Ihrem Bargeld kramen müssen.
Selbst der türkische Bäcker gegenüber hat ein SumUp Terminal. Ich sehe auch keinen Grund warum ich hier Bargeld vorhalten und Ständig mit mir rumschleppen sollte. Auch Geldscheine haben Seriennummern so das es mit der anonymität dort auch nicht soweit her zu sein scheint, und die Profilbildung im Supermarkt geschieht doch eher über deren Rabattprogramme. Hemmungen auch Kleinstbeträge damit zu zahlen habe ich nicht. Schließlich müssen Geschäfte auch das Bargeldhandling bezahlen.
Online wird überwiegend mit Paypal bezahlt. Wird so ziemlich überall akzeptiert und ist bequem. Bei manchen Marktplätzen sind auch Kreditkarten hinterlegt, einfach weil es geht und man nicht alles bei Paypal konzentrieren möchte. Großartige Alternative gibt es ja nicht. Klarna ist mindestens genauso schlimm was das Tracking angeht wie Paypal. Wero will zwar demnächst auch Händler anbinden, das ändert aber nichts daran das meine Bank es nicht anbietet. Und beliebige Konten kann man dort halt nicht hinterlegen.
Wo ich mir auch die Frage stelle: kann man online denn bar bezahlen? Und ja das kann man. Ich könnte zum Beispiel dem VPN Anbieter Mullvad auch Bargeld per Post schicken. Es gibt auch das System Barzahlen wo man Geld an der Supermarktkasse einzahlt und damit seinen Online Einkauf bezahlt. Aber naja das sind alle Nieschen.
Und doch haben wir in geringen Mengen immer Bargeld im Haus. Der Einsatz beschränkt sich jedoch größtenteils auf das herausgeben von Trinkgeldern für die netten Leute die hier Zeugs in den dritten Stock schleppen. Oder mal eben nen Zwanni für die Geburtstagskarte eines guten Freunden. Oder halt mal für Mensamarken für unsere Große. Oder wenn die Zwillinge, die noch keine Bankkarte haben mal was vom Supermarkt oder Bäcker holen sollen. Oder einfach falls die Welt untergeht und elektronischen Zahlungen nicht mehr möglich sind. Aber na gut dann haben wir eh wahrscheinlich größere Probleme.
Dies ist mein Beitrag zur Blogparade: Bar oder unbar von Jürgen und Erik.

The Xbox ROG Ally launches October 16.
The base model is pegged at $550, while the premium configuration climbs to $900. That puts it well above most handheld competitors.
On the plus side, the display is earning early praise, and the ergonomics are said to be excellent. This is a machine designed to feel good in your hands for long sessions.
Still, many doubt whether sharp visuals and comfort can truly offset a price tag this steep. And that’s the real question—whether the experience justifies the investment.

Not many people know that back in the 1900s, a fedora hat was something completely different from what we consider a fedora today. More like a loose term. In the US, even a Homburg might have been called a fedora.
I’m not sure if we can trust it, but I came across an opinion that the modern understanding of the fedora solidified a bit later on.
Here’s an old catalogue — have a look at the fedora hat section.
The image is a page from a catalog titled "HATS AND CAPS" from the Fall and Winter Catalogue (No. 43), 1899-1900. It features a grid layout with illustrations and descriptions of various men's hats. The page is divided into three main sections: "Men's Silk and Stiff Hats," "Men's Modern Hats," and "Men's Fedora Hats." Each section contains several hat styles, numbered from A331 to A348, with detailed descriptions of materials, colors, and prices. The hats are depicted in black and white, showcasing different styles such as top hats, bowler hats, and fedoras. The text provides information about the quality, materials, and price of each hat, reflecting the fashion trends of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

sometimes randomly I remember my college, which in various ways, were paid over $100,000 for my attendance, that when it came to graduation time they sent out a notice of where we could BUY our graduation gowns that were required to participate for $80.
You couldn't even supply the GRADUATION GOWNS? $100 per student was too rich for your blood huh?!
I did not participate lol.

in reply to Luigi.🇵🇸🇱🇧🇮🇷🇵🇷🇻🇪 • • •The video showcases a serene and picturesque landscape featuring a tranquil lake surrounded by lush greenery and dense forests. The lake, with its calm and reflective surface, is nestled in a valley, bordered by vibrant green grassy slopes and towering mountains covered in dense coniferous trees. The sky above is partly cloudy, with patches of blue peeking through, adding to the overall tranquility of the scene. The foreground includes rocky outcrops and patches of low-lying vegetation, enhancing the natural beauty of the setting. Throughout the video, the scene remains consistent, with no significant changes in the environment or camera movement, emphasizing the peaceful and untouched nature of the landscape.
