Well that’s not the kind of debugging I was planning on doing this afternoon but then something tripped the fusebox. Apparently it was the residual current device (RCD; which, unless it just saved you from being electrocuted to death, likely means something is wet that shouldn’t be, or so the Interwebs tell me).
Anyway, so we try turning it back on and it trips again. Bugger! And this time, one of the fuses for the switches trips too. So we go around and unplug everything. Flip the RCD. Trips. OK, let’s turn off all the fuses, try each one in turn to make sure we’ve isolated where… ah, it’s one of the switches in the kitchen. And no, we hadn’t unplugged everything… dishwasher and washing machine are still plugged in.
Long story short, it turns out to be the dishwasher.
A few online searches later, I find that other folks with the same model have had the same issue and one guy narrowed it down to the lower door seal being damaged and thus steam getting into the door and up to the electronics in the control panel embedded there. Sounds plausible… so I check the lower door seal and voila, isn’t that just the loveliest hole right there in the middle of it?
So I’ve got a new door seal ordered and on the way and I’ll test the wet cotrol panel theory tomorrow once it’s had a chance to dry.
All riveting stuff, really.
We now return to the more traditional kind of debugging…

I think this article offers a good lesson that movements (eg:biodynamics) and intents of their proponents are distinct . They must be treated as such. The individuals promoting a movement and the virtues or defects of a policy need to be given each their own consideration.

Nope. H100s were prohibited by the chip ban, but not H800s. Everyone assumed that training leading edge models required more interchip memory bandwidth, but that is exactly what DeepSeek optimized both their model structure and infrastructure around.❞

Depuis les années 2010, des grèves féministes massives ont eu lieu en Amérique latine, en Pologne, en Espagne ou encore en Suisse. Reliant la question des violences sexistes et sexuelles à d’autres types de violence, économique notamment, et mettant en évidence l’importance du travail domestique et de soin pour faire tenir la société, la grève féministe est une stratégie révolutionnaire.

Das Bild zeigt eine Gedenkveranstaltung, die in einer großen Halle stattfindet, vor dem Hintergrund eines Nachbaus des Eingangs des Konzentrationslagers Auschwitz. Die Halle ist mit zahlreichen Menschen gefüllt, die in Reihen sitzen und stehen. Im Vordergrund ist ein Sarg zu sehen, um den herum mehrere Personen stehen. Die Atmosphäre wirkt würdevoll und still. Die Architektur des Nachbaus des Konzentrationslagers ist deutlich erkennbar und bildet einen düsteren Hintergrund für die Veranstaltung. Große Bildschirme sind an den Seiten der Halle angebracht. Das gesamte Bild vermittelt einen Eindruck von Trauer und Erinnerung.

If Elon Musk wants to cut $2t from the US federal budget, there's a pretty straightforward way to get there - just eliminate all the beltway bandits who overcharge Uncle Sucker for everything from pharmaceuticals to roadworks to (of course) rockets, and then make the rich pay their taxes.

Facebook and Twitter censor Linux-related content
According to the DistroWatch newsletter they have received multiple reports of Facebook users having their accounts suspended for talking about Linux.
I predict that this is just the beginning of a US government crack-down on people who want to break away from the corporate-controlled propaganda, and the surveillance technology built-in to Apple, Microsoft, Google (Alphabet), Facebook (Meta), and Amazon products, or who want to run their own federated web services. It is only a matter of time before ActivityPub is classified as “terrorism.” TikTok was only the beginning.
Starting on 2025-01-19 Sun Facebook’s internal policy makers decided that Linux is malware and labelled groups associated with Linux as being “cybersecurity threats”. Any posts mentioning DistroWatch and multiple groups associated with Linux and Linux discussions have either been shut down or had many of their posts removed.We’ve been hearing all week from readers who say they can no longer post about Linux on Facebook or share links to DistroWatch. Some people have reported their accounts have been locked or limited for posting about Linux.
The sad irony here is that Facebook runs much of its infrastructure on Linux and often posts job ads looking for Linux developers.
Unfortunately, there isn’t anything we can do about this, apart from advising people to get their Linux-related information from sources other than Facebook. I’ve tried to appeal the ban and was told the next day that Linux-related material is staying on the cybersecurity filter. My Facebook account was also locked for my efforts.
We went through a similar experience when Twitter changed its name to X - suddenly accounts which had been re-posting news from our RSS feeds were no longer able to share links. This sort of censorship is an unpleasant side-effect of centralized communication platforms such as X, Facebook, Google+, and so on.
In an effort to continue to make it possible for people to talk about Linux (and DistroWatch), as well as share their views and links, we are providing two options. We have RSS news feeds which get updates whenever we post new announcements, stories, and our weekly newsletters. We also now have a Mastodon account where I will start to post updates - at least for new distributions and notice of our weekly newsletter. Over time we may also add news stories and updates about releases. Links for the feeds and the Mastodon account can be found on our contact page.

it was great to discover that everyone, overnight, suddenly realised that everyone else is a human being deserving of exactly the same respect, love, dignity and meeting of basic needs as themselves.
That if we worked together we could save this near-broken planet and make it a place where no-one is born into war, hate, poverty and suffering. That we could have rich, engaging lives full of love and creativity. That people can put whatever they want on pizza.

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz.
It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.
It started with intolerance and hate speech.
It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.

Schämt Euch! Was seid Ihr für doch für ein erbärmlicher Haufen. Der AfD-Verbotsantrag könnte ja schiefgehen? Was bitte würde das am Ist-Zustand ändern? Erst war die Partei zu klein, nun ist sie zu groß?

Sogar im unwahrscheinlichen Fall, dass der Verbotsantrag der AfD nicht zum Verbot führen würde, hätte das Verfahren entscheidende Vorteile.
Die Partei müsste sich öffentlich zu ihren Zielen bekennen und könnte im Anschluss an den Verfahrensprotokollen gemessen werden.
Abgesehen davon ginge es endlich mal um die Partei und ihre Menschen verachtenden Ziele, anstatt andauernd mit FakeNews über die angeblichen Fehler der anderen Parteien.
Here is a description of the video:
The video opens with a close-up of a red Ferrari racing jumpsuit. The logos of several sponsors are visible, including HP, IBM, Shell, and the Ferrari logo.
The camera then pans to two silhouetted figures standing back-to-back against a red background.
Next, the video shows various shots of Charles LeClerc and Lewis Hamilton, both wearing Ferrari racing suits. The video intersperses close-ups of their faces with shots of their suits, and other shots of them in what appears to be a photoshoot.
The names “LECLERC” and “HAMILTON” are visible on the backs of their respective suits.
The video includes several quick cuts and transitions, with some shots having a slightly distorted or glitchy effect.
The video ends with both LeClerc and Hamilton standing side-by-side, arms crossed, in their Ferrari racing suits. No audio is present in the video.
