Guess that's what happens when you have two decades of austerity neoliberals
@bananas Pressed cardboard fibers? :p
Lovely. Just learned that we may get planned blackouts this winter due to the electrical network being over capacity.

So, there’s much to be said about these vulnerabilities…
https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2025/privilege-escalation-vulnerabilities-2025/
First, thanks to fellow Nix and Lix hackers for sending us a heads-up, for sharing Snyk’s detailed report, and for coordinating with us. 👍
I did a little experiment today and figured out a new painting technique: using a (very wide) putty knife to paint a desktop!
The goal was to get a smooth, even layer of paint down, with no visible strokes; on top of a desktop that was already in quite poor shape, with some bits bulging out slightly.
Will have to see how it dries, of course, but so far the results are looking very promising!
#woodworking (well, barely, it's an old IKEA desktop so it's more cardboard than wood probably)

(And also it is in fact the source of the bug I was trying to track down, and it isn't the first time that a bughunt lands me at a FIXME from past-me either)
Well, dear reader, it turns out that past-me's spidey sense was on point, and it does in fact introduce race conditions

⚠️ MAJOR UPDATES TO FANSLY'S POLICIES! #swresources #swsupport #fansly #censorship #creditcardcompanies
If you're a creator on Fansly, you should have gotten the same email to the one connected to your account. This is in hopes to inform people who don't check their email often or at all.
To be clear, this is not 100% Fansly's choice! Blame evangelical organizations, like Fight The New Drug, that pressures credit card companies to not accept payments for what they deem "sinful".

End of 10
If you know someone, friend, family, colleague, etc, stuck on windows 10, and you are nearby Amsterdam, De Versterking can help you switch to Linux at their anarchist repair café!

"Support for Windows 10 is ending in October, and many older computers cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Installing Linux on your old computer can prolong its lifespan and help reduce e-waste. Bring your computer and we'll help you with the installation process."

Thinking about how everything is constantly happening so much
And we all have to have an opinion on it instantly, or we're a part of the problem
And your response to everything is broadcast worldwide, so backing down or digging in your heels after a mistake both come with costs
And even if you do land on the right side of some issue
If you get the right answer but for the wrong reasons, god help you

It never ceases to amaze me how much my mood is affected by the weather. Warm sun with a refreshing breeze is an instant +50% mood boost. It's ridiculous
@jascha Mainly StoryBundle, and occasionally also books through authors' own websites (when they are DRM-free epubs, which they usually are)
@emilyenco It's still functioning (at least until June 27), there's just a lot of noise, cherrypickers driving around platforms, travel information infrastructure in the process of being dismantled and/or installed, and a lot of yellow (temporary?) platform benches
Debugging a bug in my async streams code, and ran across this comment I left for myself a couple months ago:
"FIXME: Verify that this doesn't ever introduce race conditions"
Guess it's time to do that verification now!

It’s the same anger I feel whenever I see someone calling themselves an “entrepreneur.” To me, that word will always mean “I look for ways to exploit labor and customers, so that I can personally enrich myself at the expense of others.”
It is an anathema to everything I believe in.
