My cousin sent me some negatives from the 1960s. I quickly rigged up an ad hoc scanner and converted the negatives to positives. I only recognize my cousin Dorothy (family nickname "Dabby) in these shots -- everyone else is a mystery to me.

Prediction: if OpenAI IPOs with a $1Tn market cap, that will absolutely be the high water mark of the AI bubble and will trigger the subsequent collapse (they're losing $11.5Bn a quarter and have revenue around $20Bn/year). Such an IPO would allow the main investors to cash out. A valuation of 50x annual revenue is just bonkers.

So, I get to build some ZFS file servers for $dayJorb. These will be hosting VM images. Does anyone have any thoughts on disk types and layout? I'm hoping for about 30 TB of usable space each. The last time I got to build this big, we did it with spinning rust because we were cost constrained. I am being lead to believe I have significant funding this time.

I was asked the other day why I reply on my family so much and the answer is Who else would I reply on.
Other blind people? fair weather friends?
This might sound a bit harsh but the one thing I've seen in the western culture is that most people have a bad relationship with their families and while I don't think being very close to your family is all well and good and it does have it's downsides, most families that reply on each other will never leave each other in the cold.
I live far from my parents but yet I know I can make mistakes.
I know that I always have a home to go back to should something happen and My family is where they are because of hard work and sticking together even when times were hard.
So all this hate just comes from people who wish they had the same thing.
And at the end of the day, all I can do is have empathy for them.
If you take a look at the people who are saying that she depends on her family to much are the same people that wish they were doing better in life.
Correct me if I'm wrong here but for someone who according to people, depends on her family to much, she's doing pretty well for herself.
She's also just moved in with her boyfriend so I don't know about you but if depending on my family a little more empowers me to have a better life such as that, I think we can all use this as food for thought.

@stefano how big is bsd.cafe's storage?
this seems... small? I was expecting north of TB. But this is good news.
Btw, have you documented publicly the design of bsd.cafe servers? Most people would simply attach aws s3.
Maybe I could post about how to use Mastodon with your own S3 storage (using SeaweedFS at the moment)
I also have the ZFS backups of the entire dataset.
Having those media synced here also means I'm not downloading them from the original server, when using Mastodon. Which would be fine, but hey....this way is more fascinating 😂

DoD strips job protections from civilian employees, directs managers to fire with ‘speed and conviction’
The Defense Department is stripping away job protections from its civilian employees and directing managers to “act with speed and conviction” to fire employees performing “unsuccessfully.”
A new Sept. 30 memo titled “Separation of Employees with Unacceptable Performance,” which became public Tuesday, also warned that managers will be held accountable if they fail to remove poor performers.
Pentagon’s Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata, who signed the memo, suspended the department’s requirement that managers attempt to rehabilitate underperforming employees — clearing the way for supervisors to fire workers whose performance is deemed “unacceptable” more quickly.
“They are trying to cloak it in legalistic language and make it sound legitimate, but the reality is they’re stripping due process significantly and making it easier for arbitrary terminations, similar and functional to private sector employment,” Sean Timmons, managing partner at Tully Rinckey PLLC, told Federal News Network.

@MakersHour Q5 I collect stuff that could be making related (winches). What do you get carried away with collecting?
Schoolbags. If it wasn't for me and some others having such an extensive knowledge and an enthusiasm to collect we would have never been able to set up the schoolbag museum.
SO many people come find us because they miss their old bags.
Don't get me started or I'll still be talking tomorrow.
The bags in this 1987 commercial are what we're talking about: youtube.com/watch?v=M17WLYlku_…

It is! I could publish volumes with the stories people have told us about their bags. Our particular generation could grow very attached and especially the Scout bags (from the commercial) could really shape your identity and who was friend (fellow Scout kids of course) or foe (that lot with the [insert f-word here] Amigo bags). The phenomenon was even called the Scout vs. Amigo Wars in the media.
I myself got in the crossfire when I (Scout girl) made friends with Dani (Amigo girl).

I collect stuff that could be making related (winches). What do you get carried away with collecting?
A5: I think there must be a collecting gene I have from my paternal side, which added to my Autism means that when I find a consumable thing, food for example, I really like I will keep adding to a rolling stock faster than I can consume. I have a few of my favourite drinking mug (a Denby Langley Lucerne 1 pint jug), lots of the same trousers and hoodies, winches (of course), hydraulic jacks, spokeshaves, ratcheting cable crimpers, Huckle dolls…..
I think you can see the issue.

in reply to Dmytri • • •The true etymology of "woke" was explained to me by a Black man from the west side of Chicago:
Every Black child remembers this moment of transition: they've heard about race prejudice, the race line. But it's an abstraction until that first time some white bigot treats them poorly because they're black.
"Who? Me? Is this bigot singling me out because I'm black?" It's the sound of a thousand doors slamming shut, that thud of recognition - he hates me because I'm black.
That child is now Woke.
The phrase was "Stay woke". Stay aware of prejudice, don't accept it, even if it is a fact of life. Yes, you are different, stay woke to its meaning.
