Let's talk about Natives on this Trans Day of Visibility, like Kauxuma Nupika (c.1780-1837), an Indigenous AFAB Kutenai who divorced his Canadian husband and then declared himself male. As a trans Native, Nupika became both a warrior and prophet, predicting the arrivals of Europeans to Kutenai lands and trying to forge peace between nations like the Salish and the Blackfeet

For this year's trans day of visibility, I am a very achey blanket lump because I spent most of the day cleaning after my easter dinner plans fell through due to family illness

the lesson *I'm* choosing to take from xz, as an oss maintainer, is that anyone trying to pressure or guilt me into doing something should immediately be told no, for security reasons

@Zennistrad Honestly I wonder if I should go back and do that for the other fics too, but I feel like that's taking away some of the fun :'D

@Zennistrad Hyyyyyyype!

Someone was asking if I could post Yuka's descrambled dialogue for the past chapter, would you be okay with that?

After a two month delay, the new chapter of my Iji/Undertale/Deltarune crossover fic "Null Driver" is up!

@Jo if rumours of them being a state actor turn out true, being exposed like that might just mean it for them

Nasa are currently working to fix a computer error aboard Voyager 1. The probe's computer system runs at around 8000 instructions per second and has about 68kB of memory. Due to the interplanetary distances involved, even at light speed it takes 45 hours to send a signal and get a response. When asked about the unique challenges this poses, an engineer said "that's actually about average for a modern CI system".

I think at a baseline, we shouldn't be building critical official packages for distribution from release tarballs. A huge part of this was the tarball didn't match the repo and since we're talking a compression library, compressed archives shipped for "testing" concealed the payload.

Official builds should pull source and build/test scripts generate testing data in an auditable way rather than just trusting a tarball containing blobs.
