Me and my new #yubikey5 part 2:
Now we get to the nitty-gritty parts. I'm using #mbsync to sync multiple #imap accounts to local

So, been wondering why my mic audio has been absolutely wretched over the last few videos and such. Come to find out, if you accidentally wreck almost all of the settings on the compressor/gate then things are going to go very, very poorly. Did a quick test run in OBS and everything sounded so much better.
Current setup for the microphone: Earthworks Audio Ethos -> Universal Audio SOLO/610 -> dbx 286s -> [insert generic audio interface] -> Linux rig

Mandei a impressora fazer 8 cópias de um certo documento. Fui grampeš-los e ele imprimiu muito mais do que 8 cópias. Desconfio que eu mandei ele fazer a impressão, esqueci que jš havia feito isso e em seguida repeti a operação. Esse final de período não estš me fazendo bem não, eu realmente estou no meu limite. Ainda bem que estš no fim, hoje deve ser a última noite precisando chegar do trabalho e continuar trabalhando até altas madrugadas.

The world is heading to add 57 superhot days a year, but study indicates it could have been worse
The world is on track to add nearly two months of dangerous superhot days each year by the end of the century, with poorer small nations hit far more often than the biggest carbon-polluting countries, a study released Thursday found.

Beyond Pass@1: Self-Play with Variational Problem Synthesis Sustains RLVR
Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards (RLVR) has recently emerged as a key paradigm for post-training Large Language Models (LLMs), particularly for complex reasoning tasks. However, vanilla RLVR training has been shown to improve Pass@1 performance at the expense of policy entropy, leading to reduced generation diversity and limiting the Pass@k performance, which typically represents the upper bound of LLM reasoning capability. In this paper, we systematically analyze the policy's gen…

I don't disagree with suggestions that the UK public sector should have less reliance on the big-three (American) cloud providers. But this has been a concern for more than a decade, and people should at least be aware of both the "GOV.UK PaaS" and UKCloud.

Migrating our data from GOV.UK Platform as a Service (PaaS) to Amazon Web Services (AWS) – MHCLG Digital
After learning that GOV.UK’s hosting platform PaaS is being decommissioned, the Energy Performance of Buildings Register team decided to migrate all their hosting to AWS. In this post, Barry, Developer, explains what they did.

To solve marine plastic pollution, experts say production and consumption patterns must change fundamentally
Many measures have been initiated to reduce plastic pollution in Norway. Only a few of them will lead to extensive change and cleanup, a new study shows.

Zufällig hab ich mitbekommen, dass gerade das #bcki um ist, und zwar hier auf #mastodon. Die Bilder zu sehen hat mich direkt nostalgisch gemacht und es ist toll zu sehen dass auch so viele bekannte Gesichter noch dabei sind. Ich bin ja leider schon lange (jetzt schon über 10 Jahre! Wie die Zeit…

North Pacific waters are acidifying more rapidly below the surface, research reveals
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean at the surface and has been increasing the acidity of Pacific waters since the beginning of the industrial revolution over 200 years ago. A new study, led by University of Hawai'i at Mānoa oceanographers, revealed that the ocean is acidifying even more rapidly below the surface in the open waters of the North Pacific near Hawai'i.
