Today I have procrastinated by rearranging books. I have far too many for such a small house.
(Doing this reminded me of a piece by a #Palestinian academic I read recently. He has just started teaching again, but all his books have been lost or destroyed. To be without my books would be very hard for me)

Non work thinking books, a very miscallaneous collection. In front of them are a trans pride flag, my practice sword, and my longbow.
Books which are being evicted from my bedroom, roughly organised into loose piles on my bed.
The fiction bookshelf — an extraordinarily catholic collection, each volume of which I have some reason for keeping (not all of them are good!)
Mostly-work thinking books (there's also a collection of Scots politics books top right, which overflowed from somewhere else)

Rethinking sudo with object capabilities
I hate sudo with a passion. It represents everything I find offensive about the modern Unix security model: like su, it must be a SUID binary to work it is monolithic: everything sudo does runs as root, there is no privilege separation it uses a non-declarative and non-hierarchical configuration format leading to forests of complex access-control policies and user errors due to lack of concision it supports plugins to extend the policy engine which run directly in the privileged SUID process …

On Monday, Trump said
neither bidding party
“are friends of mine.”
He added that he had not spoken to his son- in-law Jared Kushner about the Paramount bid.
Netflix’s bid has already drawn sharp criticism from bipartisan lawmakers and Hollywood unions
over concerns that it could lead to job cuts as well as higher prices for consumers.
“While it is perhaps a sad commentary on the US that Paramount thinks its closeness to the occupant of the Oval Office wil…

"IBM owns Red Hat which in turn runs Fedora, the popular desktop Linux distribution. Sadly, shit rolls downhill, so we’re starting to see some worrying signs that Fedora is going to be used a means to push “AI”."

A morning of Swedish jollification in the village shop here in Galloway, Scotland, in honour of Sankta Lucia.

Three singers in finery, mother, grandmother, and daughter. Mother wears a shawl of tinsel and a crown of candles; daughter wears a crown of tinsel.
The three singers seen across a very crowded shop, with many people sitting at tables enjoying pepparkake.
The three singers have moved into the doorway of the shop in order to dance. Bunting is strung across the ceiling of the shop, above the happy audience.
