In the last ~6 months someone linked to their blog about using JS-free custom elements for page structure and style in place of a methodology like BEM, e.g. using `<my-element>`/`my-element {}` instead of `<div class="my-element">`/`.my-element {}`. Might have referenced [HUG CSS](https://

According to the US copyright office, copyright doesn't extend to purely AI-generated material.
I'm not sure if vibe coding can count as 'purely AI-generated', but it's an annoying thought that e.g. GPL code can be turned into uncopyrightable code via the AI meat grinder.
I also keep returning to the question also of whether vibe-coded edits to GPLd free software projects counts as 'source code'. If it's unreadable to both the vibe-coder and origina…

Sometimes it is handy to use archives formats that do not confuse our windows friends. Or perhaps you want a quick listing, or to update files without reading and writing the entire thing (i.e. non-solid archives).
Zip or 7z can be handy. The problem is that with their Windows hertitage they do not (reliably) retain certain UNIX-y 'things'. Be that permissions or symlinks.
Here is an example symlink workaround. Permissions left as an exercise for the reader:

A simple shell‑based workaround for archiving projects with symlinks in formats that don’t preserve them (e.g. .7z or certain .zip files). It generates a script that records all symlinks, excludes them from the archive, and later recreates them after extraction.

Good to see more free/open source projects move off the proprietary ai-scraping microsoft github platform to codeberg etc.
I think it's fair to say that projects left behind there aren't really free/open source.. Many aren't able to contribute to projects there for ethical reasons (e.g. microsoft's association with genocide, epstein, extractive LLMs, Trump, ICE etc), and github now exists to strip software of free/open source licenses.

Is there some actual study on the "life expectancy" of magnetic media such as cassette tapes or floppy disks?
E.g. I have a pre-recorded compact cassette that is 50 years old and works just fine (and sounds great!), and floppy disks from the early 80s that read with no problems.
Yet when I search for this topic everyone always claims "10–20 years" is what to expect from magnetic media.

I suspect that my VS Code is completely "borken" as I cannot imagine how so many people are productive using it.

3. Frequently used functionality (e.g. stage changes) has no shortcuts.
I am sure this is will be unpopular opinion.

Today is proving to me the edge that old-school system analysis will always have over rote or LLM-generated helpers.
I’m not even a Windows guy, but I quickly diagnosed a problem that was stumping the Windows Guys who kept looking at a disk & devising insanities (e.g. use a local SSD in the VM rather than the spiffy NFS server.) I looked at the disk & was impressed by its ability to handle 7k pgs/sec, albeit slowly.
I expect adding RAM will fix the real issue.

STM32MP2 update: I have logging on the A35 cores via the UART on the M33!
It took a bit of work to get the IPC channels up and running (using the IPCC to handshake a buffer in SRAM2) but now you can just log by invoking g_log("foo") like you could anywhere else in my platform and it a) goes to the right place and b) is tagged with the core ID.

Another pile of records sorted through; quite a range, some of those are the well known one, but I'd not heard of Wout Steenhuis before but it looks like he used to be well known; the odd one in there is a promotional classical record for pharmacies.

"In Phrack Magazine, this author learned at the end of the 1990s the subtle art of smashing the stack, an exploit that would become the starting point of many a computer security book afterward.
There is one magazine that has been around for a decade: the “International Journal of Proof-of-Concept or Get The Fuck Out”, or “PoC||GTFO”.
(I should have probably warned readers about the profanity in the title, but nah, I assume them to be adults at this point.)"

Pastor Manul Laphroaig, T.G. S.B.
Paraphrasing a well-known software mogul who shall remain nameless in the pages of this magazine, insecure software is eating the world. The reasons of such sad state of things are varied and range from social to economic; the technological aspect is usually the one that concerns me the least. In this sea of unusable things and insecure networks, there is a “subculture” (a horrible word, but bear with me) of highly skilled individuals who teach each other how broken those things are. And ye…

What @… says is what a lot of us have been lamenting since the ICE invasion started. Shouldn’t local police protect citizens from ICE?? Why this hasn’t happened is a really good question. Factors to consider:
- “Obstructing a federal agent” is illegal, and local police / politicians feel constrained by that (even if the agents themselves don’t seem constrained by the actual law at all, only by what they think they can get away with)
- Police can in theory cite federal agents for e.g. traffic violations or illegal plate swapping after the fact, as long as they’re not “obstructing” the agents — but how do you cite a masked person with fake plates who refuses to give ID?
- Some police are visibly supportive of ICE, chumming it up with them and giving literal fist bumps; a nontrivial subset are outright closet Nazis. A lot of people don’t really see any need to go past “ACAB” as a full explanation for all of this — and certainly The ACAB Hypothesis is…um, not really being proved false right now in Minneapolis.
- I think some police quietly resent ICE for stepping on their turf, but that does not seem to have boiled up into actual confrontation in MSP. One police leader here painted it in early Dec as “some people want to instigate a confrontation between Minneapolis Police, and that’s not going to happen.” Police culture says that police should be a neutral party in a dispute between ICE and residents, and actually protecting residents would be taking sides. (Duh, yes, taking sides that way is your literal job, you dumbasses…but I digress.)
- Some police (especially leadership) really want to get on the community’s good side after the murder of George Floyd, and see this as an opportunity, but unfortunately this has materialized entirely as non-interventionist support: “We responded to a 911 call and help a distressed resident after her husband was abducted!” “We transported children left parentless on the streets by ICE safely back to their home!” “Our officers volunteered at the food shelf!” OK, nice, good for you buddy.
So yeah, I’m wondering this too, and am bitter about it. https://tilde.zone/@n1xnx/115928447564126393

of legally selling it at auction. GM didn't care enough to claim ownership.

A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

The whole thing is optimized for scams, deception and other criminal behavior:
- user interface that deceptively pretends it's a human you're talking to
- claims from companies highly exaggerate capabilities
companies and "experts" constantly hype "AGI" which they (funnily enough) do to both make investors greedier and spread fear and as a distraction because these algorithms can't actually do what they keep promising
- large-scale accounting and financial fraud (e.g. what Nvidia is doing with circular selling)
- biggest case of copyright infringement in history
Note: I think the underlying technology is really cool, and definitely has use cases and can be used for actually good things. But: some technology just has more downsides than upsides, and some should only be used by experts in controlled environments. Leaded gasoline, asbestos and chlorofluorocarbon are also all really cool technology.
In this case perhaps the techology itself doesn't do anything inherently bad, however the people making it are lying about what it can do, the people selling it are motivated purely by greed and the people using it (often forced to do so) are being deceived.

As usual, STMicro makes silicon I mostly like, but I don't like their packages.

All IO power (except dedicated PHY rails) is magenta regardless of which bank(s) it's for.

@… In Play on the AppleTV I can’t seem to get Nebula videos to open the Nebula app. Nothing happens when I press a video. Works fine on macOS and iOS. Is this something you can fix or is this a Nebula issue (e.g. no URL scheme on the TV?).

So I think about one of the central thesis of Joseph Weizenbaum a lot.
It’s essentially an extension of “there’s no technical solutions to social problems”; it posits that computers are widely used to immortalize and amplify social problems while preventing reforms.
And it has gotten much worse since he wrote about this in the 1970s.
Two of the examples he gives are nation/world-wide stock exchanges and automated trading (lead to wealth concentration and gambling), as well as highly complex but wasteful, punishing and unfair welfare systems (instead of e.g. UBI).

This is why @… made the Gaza Verified Archive (e.g., see

I'm not sure I should be surprised, sad, or just bemused at how often the literal wildcard, e.g. '*.domain.example' shows up in queries at my auth servers. Something(s) out of Hetzner seems to love doing this a lot.

While I maybe a Linux Penguin, It's worth pointing out there are plenty of other free OSs which share many of the user space parts (e.g. the desktop) - and some very different; So, give FreeBSD a go once in a while, Then there are things like FreeDOS, embedded OSs, and ReactOS which can run Windows software, or lots of other things to play with. Give some a go:

The FreeBSD Project
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms.

The way he’s threading the needle of talking about the ICE / local police interactions is fascinating: his line is that Mpls Police being called to deal with ICE (e.g. “there’s an abductee’s abandoned car” or 911 call “omg ICE is at my door”) is an unlawful federal commandeering of local police resources.
I say fascinating because that line of argument has legs regardless of whether police helped ICE or pushed back against ICE, whether the police did the right thing or the wrong thing in any given encounter.

I think the technology could be used responsibly for narrow use cases (e.g. writing code is a narrow use case), with the very important caveat that the training data needs to be properly licensed and authors properly compensated (unless they licensed stuff free for commercial use); as well as companies offering it being transparent and honest about what LLMs actually do.
Anyway, even if that’s the case (and that’s a big if and certainly not the case today) I have serious doubts concerning the long-term financial sustainability of companies like idk Anthropic.
