Concept:
Software to produce a short looping animation that can be printed on a circle of paper the size of a vinyl album
The animation is visible if you play the record at the standard speed and set a strobe light to a certain frequency and position it so that it only illuminates the bottom 1/8

My package has now been in 4 separate logistics centers over the course of 3 days and it is still not dispatched for delivery. I have never had an InPost package take this silly of a route. I actually looked through my package history and practically all the packages I've ever ordered through them would get dispatched for delivery after a maximum of 2 logistics centers within 2 working days. How do you even find 4 separate logistics centers between any 2 points in Poland?? The country isn't that big-

TfL found my lost wallet 3 months after I lost it and now I'm dealing with the hilarity of trying to get it delivered to an address in Northern Ireland and then discovering that (1) this requires a customs declaration THANKS BREXIT and (2) they can't ship credit cards and well yes I do not have an emotional attachment to my cancelled credit cards can you just take those out please but leave the other ones and oh no why is this so complicated
@filmroellchen@chaos.social FWIW, Servo is doing a lot better nowadays than it used to, since being revived - there's a non-zero amount of funding too AFAIK

Today I learned https://www.startrekdesignproject.com has high-rez versions of most of the logos to appear on Star Trek. Including some great ones from Lower Decks.
(These are printed in crappy PLA, to be clear, so I'm testing pretty much the worst case in terms of mechanical strength, relying entirely on the design)

@xgranade@wandering.shop Centrist brain, basically
So far I have 5 bins stacked on top of each other on my desk, with the topmost bin containing a few heavy boxes of screwdriver and drill bits. The tower still seems perfectly stable! And I'm not seeing any kind of wear or fatigue marks on any of the stacking nets.

I AM GONNA YELL WHAT THE FUUUUUCK
Kazakhstan’s health ministry rejects claims of ‘LGBT propaganda’ influencing teens
"According to the report, the LGBT movement does not push teenagers to change their sexual orientation. On the contrary, it helps them combat depression and bullying."
UPD: the article was taken down, suspecting an attempt to silence them. they still have it available at their IG page: kursiv.media, as far as i know.
truth will prevail.
@domo Assuming you're talking about the SUP fee, as I understand it it isn't a tax at all - places using those single-use plastics are merely required to charge customers, but do not themselves owe any kind of fee to anyone.
This seems to be driven by some neoliberal nonsense around 'economic nudging' that completely ignores how and why these plastics are actually used and selected (ie. it isn't actually customers making that choice).
Had it been an actual tax, then chances are that it wouldn't have been charged to customers at all. A lot of takeaway places were publicly lamenting how they didn't *want* to charge this fee to customers, but they legally had to.
@jornane The reason I'm asking is mostly because I don't trust myself to have a full understanding of the internal usages of the nonce.
The deterministic output is indeed what I'm trying to accomplish, but it'd suck if in the process of chasing that behaviour, I accidentally broke some other security property 🙃
The 'static nonce' point also does make sense; but I am not sure if that's *exactly* equivalent security-wise to a deterministically content-derived nonce?
@weddige The nonce in this case would be derived through a (cryptographically secure) hashing function of some kind, so different inputs would be encrypted with different nonces, but copies of the same input would use the same nonce.

This has the somewhat hilarious consequence that it is literally impossible to order from them without having baguettes added to your order, because the order minimum is the same as the threshold for free baguette
And they're not even a French company!
