It's not often you can describe a scientific article as an absolute banger, but I'm revisiting again the paper on ESM-snowMIP by Menard et al 2021 and it really is an absolute banger. Completely genius paper. I remain also amazed that such a candid article got through review..

Oh shit, best Nextdoor comment today:
"Stop electing Barret!"

Tom Barrett (two t's) hasn't been the Mayor of Milwaukee since December 2021.
It's hard to take people who complain about the city seriously when they don't even know who the mayor has been for the past 4 1/2 years.

Nearly all climate claims by meat and dairy firms amount to greenwashing: Study
Meat and dairy production are significant drivers of deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions.

⚡ What triggered it: GitHub rolled out a new token format for GitHub App installation tokens: ghs__. Base64url encoding uses - chars, which Composer's 2021-era regex didn't permit. Any such token would fail validation and leak.

"Eine wichtige Rolle dabei spielt die Initiative 706. Sie geht auf ein Jugendzentrum im Pekinger Universitätsviertel zurück und hat mittlerweile einige Ableger in Europa. Xiyu ist seit elf Jahren in Deutschland und hat die Gruppe in Berlin 2021 mitgegründet. Der Name leitet sich von der Hausnummer des Zentrums in Peking ab. Das 2012 gegründete Hostel dort entwickelte sich über die Jahre zum Ort des Austauschs für Studierende und Denker, um gesellschaftliche Themen zu diskutieren."

New Ansible Data Validation Module(s) « ipSpace.net blog
A few months ago I described how you could use JSON Schema to validate your automation data models, host/group variable files, or even Ansible inventory file. I had to use a weird toolchain to get it done – either ansible-inventory to build a complete data model from various inventory sources, or yq to convert YAML to JSON… and just for the giggles jsonschema CLI command requires the JSON input to reside in a file, so you have to use a temporary file to get the job done.
