Cleaned up all the pads on my A4000 (ignore debris in photo, its been removed). Couldn't do a perfect job as some of these pads are ready to peel off and I had to be gentle, but it's much better and soldering will be fine. There are some exposed traces that got eaten very close to the pads, so I need to do some solder mask repair next, probably tomorrow. Caps should get here this week too!

Reading this history made me feel like Labor Day in the US is important and even more important now. These people who had to advocate at such peril shows what I consider Real Americans. I noted that then, as now, suppression of journalists is a key element of those in power.

The image features a man dressed in a black suit and shirt, sitting in a car. He has dark hair, a beard, and a serious expression. The man is wearing a black belt with a silver buckle and a wristwatch on his left wrist. The background is dark, with a hint of a car's interior visible. The text at the top of the image reads, "10 year old me after the hotel staff called me sir."

expanding an xcode .xip file on an Intel machine. it's taking ten minutes and the fans are screaming.

is this what you all had to deal with before computers got good??? this is terrible

in reply to sam henri gold

This is what drove some of us to build hackintosh towers during that era. The sheer force of a 2.2lb heatsink and 6 fans (4 case, 2 heatsink) on a desktop CPU without power constraints smoothed the experience out quite a lot. Tasks like XIP expansion would take a third or fourth as long as on an Intel MBP and the fans wouldnโ€™t even spin up while doing it.

Today, chamber music from Fort Worth: #Schumann and #Brahms Piano Quartets worldconcerthall.com/en/scheduโ€ฆ #wch


Today in Labor History September 1, 1880: The utopian communistic Oneida Community ended after 32 years. The Community was founded by John Humphrey Noyes and his followers in 1848 near Oneida, New York. They believed that Jesus had already returned in AD 70, allowing them to bring about Jesus's millennial kingdom themselves. The Community practiced communalism (holding all property and possessions in common). They also practiced complex marriage, where 3 or more people could enter into the same marriage, and male sexual continence, where the maleโ€™s goal was to not ejaculate during sex. They were also one of the first groups in the U.S. to practice mutual criticism, to root out bad characteristics in people, something adopted by many later cults, and even by Cesar Chavez and the UFW under his leadership.

The Oneida Community has been portrayed in numerous works of fiction such as โ€œSilken Strands,โ€ by Rebecca May Hope (2019). โ€œAssassination Vacation,โ€ by Sarah Vowell (2005) and โ€œPagan House,โ€ by David Flusfeder (2007).

Fรผr Metas Chat-Bot gibt es ein 200 Seiten starkes Handbuch, worin steht, was die #KI darf und was nicht. Ist durchgesickert und bei #Reuters gelandet, die Echtheit wurde von Meta bestรคtigt.
Beim Lesen wird klar: rechtliche Vorgaben (z.B. zu Beleidigungen) lagen diesem Handbuch nicht zugrunde. Und selbst wenn man argumentiert, dass es fรผr KI eben noch zu wenig klare juristische Regeln gibt, zeigt #Meta wieder einmal klar, dass ihnen moralisch, ethisch und auch sonst einfach nicht zu trauen ist.

As soon as I finish reorganising my workspace so I can reach that unused ATX power supply, I'm going to build my new home server/living-room PC for my media collection. This will be my first time using ZFS for a pool with RAID-Z, wish me luck.

in reply to Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC

You probably don't need it but you may find blog.firedrake.org/archive/201โ€ฆ helpful. In short, raidz2 has worked very well for me for 10+ years now.
in reply to Roger BW ๐Ÿ˜ท

@RogerBW I'm going to use RAID-Z1, only one redundancy disk out of three 12TB HDDs. One 250GB SDD for OS and software, it's probably going to be Debian or some Debian derivative since I really like apt. And it's going to run Kodi so I can watch it all on my living-room TV without the need of any further hardware, but there will also be Apache with some streaming stuff installed so I can watch all the video and listen to all the music from any computer in the house, and an FTP server so I can do some old-fashioned filesharing with a few friends of mine. Not sure about which FTP server I'm going to use, my last one was proftpd.
in reply to Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC

@RogerBW It's not simply just an NAS, although I will probably be running Samba and NFS on it; it's supposed to be a multi-media device hosting a website (only accessible with a password, not for more than two or three users simultaneously) with a couple of Wikis and some video/audio streaming thingy. And, as I mentioned in the last toot, Kodi, because it will be in the living-room connected to the telly via HDMI. I'll probably also connect a couple of external USB drives to make them available on the LAN, and some only temporarily for backups, of course.
in reply to Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC

All seems reasonable to me. I don't have a TV so I just serve video files over ssh and SMB. Small extras like mpd for the audio collection, and a search engine for the ebooks, make life easier.
in reply to Roger BW ๐Ÿ˜ท

@RogerBW I just want my video, audio, and ebook, collections to be available on every computer in every room in this house and also on smartphones, tablets, and laptops, in the garden. And I want a few Wikis for projects I have been working on with friends of mine. Some of it will be available on the open Internet, but only through IPv6 because I'm too lazy to deal with all that NAT stuff any longer, and only behind a login screen because I don't want my server to crash from dozens of web spiders trying to suck up all the data they can find for training the latest machine learning models.
in reply to Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC

@RogerBW I'm not going to use that whole deduplication thing, it uses far too much RAM; I need to check that old PC to see how much memory it has, but it can't be much more than 16GB.
in reply to Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC

@RogerBW Dedup actually doesnโ€™t use all that much RAM with big records, but itโ€™s still not worthwhile except in very specific cases (mostly storing a huge number of VMs which werenโ€™t built from a zvol image). Just periodically run a tool to check for duplicate files and dedup them manually.
in reply to Zimmie

Most of my duplicate files are episodes of TV shows that I accidentally put in the wrong folder, then thought they were missing, and downloaded them again.
Questa voce รจ stata modificata (2 settimane fa)
in reply to Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC

@RogerBW Exactly. Periodically scan for duplicate files using a tool which works within a filesystem, and youโ€™ll get much better results than with ZFS dedup.
in reply to Zimmie

I'm still looking for a Linux tool that is as comfortable to use as LookDisk for Windows (which actually works quite nicely with wine).

EDIT: If any non-Linuxers read this, "wine" stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator", it's an API translation layer designed to make Windows software run on Linux.

Questa voce รจ stata modificata (2 settimane fa)
in reply to Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC

@bob_zim Best I've found, and I don't love it, is rdfind.
But for me dedup is not "I accidentally duplicated files" but "I have a bunch of backups of other Debian machines, most of which are going to have a whole lot of blocks in common"
in reply to Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC

@RogerBW Keep in mind high-end spinning disks can write at about 220 MB/s. For 12,000,000 MB, thatโ€™s roughly 55k seconds to rewrite the whole thing if itโ€™s not doing anything else.

ZFS only resilvers blocks which are is in use, but reailvering the vdev while itโ€™s doing other work is likely to take over a day. raidz1 and two-member mirrors make me nervous when resilvering. As long as you back up the important data, it should be fine.

in reply to Zimmie

@bob_zim @RogerBW 55ks < 1d = 86.4ks
A little more than half a day, I'm quite used to all kinds of operations taking that long. I used to render raytraced scenes in 640x480 on my 286 back in 1990, that took about as long.
I've got backups of my audio, text, image, and database dump files, on several USB HDDs. I don't think I'll be able to find the storage needed to back up my video collection, but then again, my friends and acquaintances are my "backups" for stuff where I can't find any live torrents anymore. All the stuff I ripped from CDs, DVDs, and BDs, can be ripped again as long as those optical media are still readable. I might need a BD drive for my file server/media centre, right now it's got two DVD+-R drives, which is one more than needed.
in reply to Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC

@RogerBW Yes, Iโ€™m aware it would take under a day *if the volume is totally idle*. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Any contention for IOPS (e.g, a scheduled backup on another system writing to this storage) and the throughput drops to maybe 20% until the contention is over. Read contention is even worse, since writes are at least batched into transaction groups.

Iโ€™ve seen resilvering a 12 TB drive take over a week. That whole time, any second failure is fatal to the data being resilvered. If that data is the filesystem tree itself, it can result in losing the whole pool.

in reply to Zimmie

@bob_zim @RogerBW Well, so far I have only seen a single 12TB drive fail so far, but it was an external HDD, and it took a huge chunk of my video collection with it, which was the main reason why I'm doing this now. Nothing was lost that can't be found again, but I don't even know exactly which films and series were on that drive when it gave out; every now and then I want to watch something that should be on one of my drives, and then my search turns out empty, telling me it probably was on the broken HDD, and I need to torrent it again.
in reply to Lord Caramac the Clueless, KSC

@RogerBW On the topic of backups, if you havenโ€™t used ZFS or btrfs before, take a look at datasets (ZFS) and subvolumes (btrfs). Theyโ€™re like LVM logical volumes, but more flexible. Iโ€™d set up one for media which you could afford to lose and one for data which you canโ€™t lose. Then you can take snapshots of the important data and send them elsewhere to easily back them up.
in reply to Zimmie

@bob_zim @RogerBW When it comes to data I can't afford to lose, the copies stored in the ZFS pool will be the backup copies from my main PC and my main laptop.

We Are All Human, Or None Of Us Are.


โ€œThe rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.โ€ โ€“ John F. Kennedy

This blog post previously appeared in Common Wealโ€™s weekly newsletter. Sign up for the newsletter here.

If youโ€™d like to support my work for Common Weal or support me and this blog directly, see my donation policy page here.

The UK is slipping even further into a dark, dark place. Letโ€™s just be clear from the outset: once you declare someone, anyone, as not worthy of human rights you are declaring them to not be worthy as humans. And once you declare someone, anyone, as not being a worthy human, you might be next. Human rights apply to all of us, or to none of us.

Watching Nigel Farage spend a day of unrelenting media coverage this week to show off his latest idea of stripping migrants of their human rights and putting them in concentration camps was sicking. Worse, was seeing Keir Starmerโ€™s response which was basically โ€œweโ€™ll do it too, but betterโ€.

Then we got treated to a second day of it as former Conservative MSP Graham Simpson defected and attracted all of the airwaves to Farage again, followed for a third day by another defection in the form of former Labour Councillor Audrey Dempsey. Make no mistake. If you thought that was merely a coincidence, then you missed the deliberate strategy there.

Farageโ€™s proposal is to follow a decade-long Conservative shibboleth of declaring that those โ€œforeign courtsโ€ in Europe who safeguard our human rights via the European Convention on Human Rights are the worst kind of evil and the UK needs to withdraw from it. Heโ€™ll put in its place a โ€œBritish Bill of Rightsโ€ that will apply only to British citizens and instead of โ€œthe stateโ€ telling you what you can do, youโ€™ll have the freedom to do anything unless the state says you canโ€™t do it.

One of the things he wants to do is to round up Afghan nationals who collaborated with the British armed forces during the invasion and occupation of that country. Many of these people now live under the threat of torture and execution by the Taliban since the latter reconquered the country and took back control. Many of these people had their personal details of their involvement with British forces leaked due to the UKโ€™s appalling data security. Some received emergency evacuation. Some, it seems, did not.

Not surprisingly, the Taliban themselves appear to be quite happy to โ€œreceiveโ€ these people if Farage gets to implement his plans. When asked about whether heโ€™d do it too Keir Starmer, a former human rights lawyer, said, effectively, โ€˜weโ€™re not taking that option off the tableโ€™.

Removing the UK from the ECHR is not going to be as easy as waving a legislative wand. The rights bill is baked into the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement and can only be amended with the agreement of Ireland. Farageโ€™s entire plan can be vetoed with a single memo containing the word โ€œNoโ€.

Or Northern Ireland could leave the UK, which would considerably smooth the passage of his plan. Thereโ€™s still a complication in that ECHR is also baked into the Scotland Act and thus any attempt to disapply it to devolved areas in Scotland would require a legislative consent motion. But as Brexit has shown, this can simply be overridden by a Farage (or Starmer) Government. Or they could unilaterally amend the Scotland Act directly. Devolution will be no protection for Scotland in the way that it is for Northern Ireland.

โ€œMy partner is a migrant and is not a UK citizen nor likely to become one. Whenever someone says โ€œprioritising British citizensโ€, they mean deprioritising and delegitimising my family.โ€

Even if the โ€œBritish Bill of Rightsโ€ contains a carbon copy of the ECHR and it remains applying to everyone in general (i.e. Farage isnโ€™t allowed to disapply it to Irish, Commonwealth, EU or non-EU citizens as heโ€™s hinted) then we still have to remember that the actual purpose of doing this is to disapply it to specific people in specific instances whenever they become a nuisance to The State.

Weโ€™ve long been fed lines of the โ€œbad personโ€ who is โ€œabusing human rights lawโ€ to avoid deportation for flimsy reasons like their cat is sick or theyโ€™d miss chicken nuggets (the actual stories behind those propaganda lines are far more nuanced). The point is that if such a person existed, these radicalised factions within the UK want to declare them less-than-human and to punish them for it.

This all matters because, sooner or later, it may well affect you. Itโ€™s certainly already affecting me. My partner is a migrant and is not a UK citizen nor likely to become one. Whenever someone says โ€œprioritising British citizensโ€, they mean deprioritising and delegitimising my family. We also have to remember that I donโ€™t just support Scottish independence, I work for an activist organisation that advocates for it. I am paid to agitate against the State in support of secession. In some countries, thatโ€™s not a job โ€“ itโ€™s a death penalty offence. It might be me they strip citizenship from and declare to be unworthy of human rights.

Which, of course, means it might be you too. Or it might be Nigel Farage. Because even he is only a lost election and a charge of โ€œcollaboration with the previous regimeโ€ away from seeing his human rights abused too. As the famous line from the play A Man for All Seasons goes: โ€œIf you cut down the laws, and youโ€™re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then?โ€

Human rights must apply to all of us or they apply to none of us. So I would ask Farage (and Starmer, and any other MP tempted to support this idea) a question: Please look through the rights guaranteed by the ECHR. Which rights do you wish would no longer apply to you, personally?

Because if he gets his way, one day they might not.

Watched August in the Water (1995), directed by Gakuryลซ Ishii, last night with a group of friends.

It's a coming of age story of sorts, that follows a high school girl who suffers from a mysterious illness and begins to unlock the secrets of the universe.

With the back drop of climate crises and the early days of emerging internet technologies in Japan.

Beautiful and dreamy.

Back to school is coming fast!

Drop-off + pick-up at our kids' elementary school in #Montreal used to be a dangerous rodeo.

This year, we got approval for a rue-รฉcole (school-street).

Closed to carsโ€”open to people.

You'd figure convincing people to keep kids safe and active would be easy. In #Paris, there are 300 school-streets; London has 500.

But this was an uphill battleโ€”and it's still only a pilot-project.

This year #Quebec's CAQ government slashed $18 million from a fund intended for safe school zones. (Of course they did, they're awful.)
