Weird things that happen when you have a 100GbE pipe to your desk. 8 Gbps of sustained network traffic and the network monitor is like "yeah you're not using much bandwidth"
Also I think there's a 32-bit overflow or something in xfce4-netload-plugin because the rate shows 0.00 Mbps when I get above some threshold (not sure what it is exactly but it's in the 15-40 Gbps range)

JP keyboard adventures under Linux:
The keyboard is somewhere between ANSI and ISO, with a long left Shift key, and the addition of 3 extra meta keys and 2 additional character keys.

The right of the keyboard more closely resembles ISO, with a large, vertical inverted-L Enter key, plus a `ro` key after ?/ and a `yen` key after =.

- Organization of ordained ministers
This can just overlap with your "ecclesiastical government" or just your membership. There are plenty of churches, even Christian ones, where the distinction is non-existent.
There is an expectation that "ordained ministers" go through some sort of process of learning. But anyone who's familiar with Evangelicalism knows how incredibly low that bar actually is.

Yesterday evening I bought a pint for the evening TTK meeting but it was off and horribly sour on first taste (I like sours, but this was not good). So was the second pint drawn by the bar steward, so I switched to something else. The evening went OK but when I got home and tried to sleep I got what is technically known as "massive gut rot" and had to sit up a lot of the night etc. I seem largely better now, and no technicolour yawn happened.

Many seem to believe that AI is – or very soon will be – more intelligent than the average citizen.

Die Sendung International von SRF bringt immer wieder überraschende und interessante Themen, hier über die Bar Tabacs in Frankreich. Herausragend der KI-Transkript in der Apple-Postcast-App. Einerseits werden Ausschnitte auf Französisch tadellos („ouais“) transkribiert, auf der anderen Seite sind simple Worte auf Deutsch falsch, und den besuchten Ort Dieue-sur-Meuse gibt sie in drei verschiedenen Varianten, davon die eine, die man erwartet.
In early 1969 200 American servicemen and women, and I have no idea how many Vietnamese, including civilians, were dying a week. People here in the US were gathering in protests by the 10s and 100s of 1000s, making a lot of noise, generally getting some credit for turning popular opinion against the war. 18 soldiers, & 1000s of civilians are dead in the last 5 months in Iran. Maybe we can lower the bar a bit, start making some noise. Get that fucker out of office.
