European gas price now up 48% since Friday!
And Dutch gas storages at a very low level (10% filled).
But: no incentive at all for commercial companies to start filling up again: prices throughout the year are higher than those for next winter. If we want the storages filled, governments need to act.

Just finished "You Made A Fool of Death with Your Beauty" by Akwaeke Emezi. I liked a ton of things about it but a few other things bothered me a bit, and I kinda feel like I need to read more of Emezi's work to figure out how I feel. There's a lot of grief and a lot of joy in this book, as well as some nice deep truths about relationships and grief, but maybe also some deep-feeling not-quite truths?

Thinking about Vulkan queue allocation in ngscopeclient.
We currently use the following queues:
* Libscopehal wide: one for host/device transfers
* Drivers: one compute queue for each ThunderScope, demo, Tek, Pico, Haasoscope, or TinySA instrument active in the session
* Filter graph: one compute queue per executor thread (default 8)
* Scope deskew wizard: one compute queue
* GUI: one render/compute queue
In order to manage contention when hardware has le…

48 hour film festival's AI rule. I think it says a lot as to what is and isn't allowed. Some of it might just be pragmatic, but some of it may also reflect values of what is considered central and what more peripheral?

Sadly couldn't join myself (wife wasn't feeling good and wanted me to stay home and help parent while she napped) but my SAR team participated in a great inter-agency training this past weekend.
It's always nice to practice alongside volunteers from other teams that we work with on real incidents and get to know each other without the pressure of a real emergency.
One note: I half feel like there should be a CW on this post for mentioning law enforcement in a positiv…
