With apologies to those with red/blue colour blindness here is a scatter #plot showing the age of commits mentioned by the Fixes: tag in #qemu's #git My initial takeaways are we've been getting better at…

A scatter plot showing the latency of fixes (i.e. how long ago the commit a Fix was done). It shows a general trend to fixes coming from older code and an increasing density of fixes in the last year or so.

Zum wiederholten Mal kann ich keine Verbindungs-Möglichkeiten bei der #Bahn einholen. Das ist ein stinknormaler PC, mit Linux, Firefox, und ein paar Privacy-AddOns wie z.B. uBlock Origin. Damit ist man bei der #DB dann schon im Bot-Verdacht. Es ist zum 🤮.

I have been playing with local small agents like #qwen (qwen3.5-9b-artemis) that will fit into my "tiny" 8gb GPU. I left it the task of fixing a rebase conflict which it managed. There where some questionable forward declarations which I removed but it at least had the patience to grind through the build and test. It's also helping my bread dough rise 🔅 🍞😉

I definitely feel for those mourning the loss of the #decomp communities to the relentless march of the #aiagents. However I am more than a little curious how these tools might do with some of my old demos where I've long lost the source code.

Es macht einen Unterschied. Natürlich kann der Zyniker immer (mit einigem Recht) sagen: "Seht her, Gewaltexzesse und Rachefetische sind immer noch und waren immer schon Teil unserer Kulturen trotz aller zivilisatorischen Fortschritte."
Doch es macht einen Unterschied, ob diese bedauerliche Erkenntnis mit Scham und Bestürzung korrespondiert, oder mit Stolz und Selbstverherrlichung. Vor 22 Jahren war die Folter von Kriegsgefangenen durch US-Soldaten in Abu Ghraib ein SKANDAL. D…

While waiting for the #train to London I thought I'd check with the ticket office about the eye watering cost. It turns out the delta for Paddington to Kensington Olympia is about £55 (for an off peak single). I'm pretty sure the underground gets there for under a tenner. I'm not convinced the #tfw

I often do not have people in my photos, but those two guys sitting there looking at the #mountains just made a good motive for me.
Some more space at the top would have been good... Well.. Lesson learned.
