Worked on some more #Gentoo global #jobserver goodies today.
Firstly, Portage jobserver support patch: #PyTest jobs will also be counted towards total job count.

Attached: 1 image Ever thought of tunneling traffic over Azure Blob Storage? 🤔☁️ ProxyBlob lets you run a SOCKS5 proxy using Azure Storage as the communication channel. Useful in restrictive networks where only `*.blob.core.windows.net` is accessible. #Azure #Proxy #Networking --- Why does ProxyBlob need Azure Storage? 💡📦 It creates a clever detour: Agents in target networks poll Azure Blob for tasks, while the proxy writes requests there. This avoids direct network conne…

Der Hektoria-#Gletscher in der #Antarktis hat sich innerhalb von zwei Monaten um über acht Kilometer zurückgezogen.
Das Tempo ist möglicherweise höher als je ein anderer auf dem Meeresboden ruhender #Gletscher

Rapid Antarctic glacier retreat sparks scientific 'whodunnit'
A new study suggests that changes to Hektoria Glacier are unprecedented - but not all scientists agree.

Oh good! Someone from the @… community can weigh in on the benefits.
Oh wait…
Anyway, sooner or later the time for computable reals will come. I'm still HODLing stock in continued fractions (and teaching them every year to my first-year students).

Zeitspanne von Genehmigung bis Inbetriebnahme einer #Windkraftanlage.
Die Box (hellblau) zeigt, wo die mittleren 50 % der Anlagen von der Dauer her liegen. Der Strich in der Box ist die typische Dauer. Die Hälfte der Errichtungen war schneller, die andere langsamer. Die dünnen Linien („Antennen“) nach oben und unten zeigen, wie weit die meisten übrigen Projekte noch streuen. Die ei…
