Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

Today I learned that we have an alderman of Inclusivity in my municipality

University Staff United, just won recognition for 1800 student and instructional services staff at #UMich, their first bargaining unit and about 10% of the university's staff. Their goal is to unionize all staff not covered by other campus unions. #Solidarity https://aftmichigan.org/university-of-michigan-student-and-instructional-services-staff-unionize/

675,480 requests within 48 hours, +100GB of traffic coming from 843+ IP addresses.
That's the result of a single AI crawler finding my forgejo instance for personal projects.
This specific crawler is now "banned". I'm not angry or anything, rather just disappointed that AI makers make shoddy crawlers. It made me however find the issue in my filter list that made me earlier disable certain blocking rule because it targeted legitimate traffic.

I've been trying to dig deeper into ZFS internals lately. Found some questions asked a couple years ago that looked promising, only to find out that those questions were answered back then. By me. This has happened five times now.

If anyone else wants the FLAC copy, here you go: http://temp.sh/Qcsid/filthy-kicks-flac.7z (expires in 3 days)
(I re-discovered it while going through my local music folder, which has survived through all these years, somehow)
I originally discovered this in the early 2010s while trawling Jamendo for neat stuff. I still have a FLAC copy here, grabbed from the undocumented FLAC download endpoint. Possibly the only FLAC copy in existence now?

@joepie91 That is one of the most badass pieces of album art I've ever seen.
Music recommendation: https://www.jamendo.com/album/56612/dirty-little-secret
Unfortunately they don't seem to have done anything else since that album, which is a shame!

"If you or a loved one was recently fired from the federal government during your probationary period, and the reason you were given was poor performance, please reach out to us at www.centerforemploymentjustice.com.
We have a plan and may be able to help you."
Optie B: de zaak weer nationaliseren, en retroactief alle winsten van investeerders sinds de privatisering terugvorderen. Ook een prima optie, wat mij betreft.
Ah ja, en #PostNL is weer aan het huilen dat de postbezorging niet rendabel is, en klopt aan bij de staat voor financiele steun.
Tja, jullie wilden het toch zo graag privatiseren? Dan moet je ook het bijbehorende risico dragen, en niet alleen maar zelfstandig willen zijn wanneer de zaken goed lopen...

Om het maar even heel bot te stellen: "wij moeten het grotere en sterkere leger hebben" is geen linkse politiek.

Nou, de golf met oorlogstaal van 'progressieve' en 'linkse' partijen in Nederland is begonnen, hoor. Natuurlijk op basis van "anno 2025 moeten we...".

#OnThisDay, 24 Feb 1968, Jocelyn Bell Burnell - along with her male supervisor and three other men - published a paper confirming the discovery of pulsars. She had built the array, picked up the signal and argued it was not an anomaly. Hewish received the Nobel prize for it in 1974: Bell Burnell did not.
In 2018 Bell Burnell received a £3m prize for her work. She's used it to set up a foundation to improve the diversity in STEM.

The problem with working until your brain shuts off is that you have very little brain left to toot about it once you're lying on the couch in a heap recovering.
Suffice it to say, the future library got some serious work done on the ceiling, and I have many redacted words about the quick fixes of previous inhabitants of #ThisOldClownHouse.
Also, trying to tape cracked drywall over your head is messy work.
