One month after the justice department’s congressionally mandated deadline to
👉release all Jeffrey Epstein investigative files went unmet,
victims’ advocatesare expressing outrage over the department’s failure to comply with federal law.
Advocates have also indicated that they are not surprised,
describing the justice department’s noncompliance with the
"Epstein Files Transparency Act"
as yet another example of US officials failing to hold wrongdo…

When you're trying to get #Google to help them fix a problem they have in relaying an email to a list (they are forwarding as if it they are originating your non-GMail email, thus incurring an SPF failure) their helpful support team to the rescue (see image attached).
FYI... the second thing they want is a screen cap of the client SMTP config.
Very temped to send a screenshot wit…

Based on a series of plays by Alan Williams, an aging hippie and rock-fanatic-turned-stand-up-comic who calls himself ‘The Captain’ (Williams), convinces a couple of novice filmmakers (Deborah Drakeford and Oliver Dennis) to help him record his ‘pure thoughts’ – a filmic testament of his experiences and observations of the past three decades.

Just finished "Kirby's Lessons for Falling (In Love)" by Laura Gao. I'd previously read her autobiographical graphic novel "Messy Roots" which was excellent, and this book continues that trend. Yet another complicated look at a Chinese-American immigrant experience, wrapped into a queer romance with a dose of spirituality in there as well. I think the background metaphor of falling is really strong, and gets used in so many senses it's beautiful.

Kender I podcasten The Europeans? Jeg har arbejdet på at erstatte min diæt af amerikanske politiske podcasts med danske eller europæiske og er blevet rigtig glad for deres nede-på-jorden men samtidig grundige gennemgang af europæiske nyheder. Og de har et udsyn jeg kan lide, se fx denne anbefaling fra dem:
“So go get your beautifully designed copies of the European Review of Books or even take out a subscription if you're feeling generous.
Because they're another independent pan-Eur…

This is in stark contrast to my brief experiences with Ansible, which gave me the feeling of “oh, this is a lot to learn, but I see where they’re going and it makes sense.”
My last Ansible investigation stalled out trying to set up a clean process for issuing Let’s Encrypt certs, and I maybe need to pick those investigations back up again.

The consequences of the 996 working hour system:
"On the Chinese internet, the country’s current predicament – slowing economic growth, a falling birthrate, a meagre social safety net, increasing isolation on the world stage – is often expressed through buzzwords. There is tangping, or “lying flat”, a term used to describe the young generation of Chinese who are choosing to chill out rather than hustle in China’s high-pressure economy. There is runxue, or “run philosophy”, which re…

The debate regarding the “Goldwater rule” has intensified
following President Trump’s recent rambling presentation in Pennsylvania
(Trump rails on affordability ‘hoax’ and flings racist attacks in rally-style speech, 10 December).
As a physician with decades of experience in health policy, I believe the current discourse misses a vital distinction:
the difference between prohibited diagnosis and legitimate observation.
The Goldwater rule was designed to prevent …
