Been playing with #gokrazy this weekend, testing it out as a base for a container os idea I'm playing with. As part of that I've made it run with podman 5, and also implemented a pure go shim for the nft command that's sufficient for netavark to create pod forwards and such https://code.bas.es/marcus/nft-shim - Not sure if strictly necessary as I was able to build static binaries for nft using nixpkgs pkgsStatic target, but was a fun weekend project to hack on anyways. I quite like the idea behind gokrazy.

Back in 2018, I took the Maglev between Longyang Road and Pudong Airport. The route was so short that the train was only able to get to it's top speed for something like a minute before it had to start slowing down again. The new Chuo Shinkansen is supposed to go from Tokyo to Osaka and be faster than the Shanghai Maglev. I think that's really cool.

How an errand for a 12-year-old immigrant became an underground operation - NPR https://apple.news/AMNFM2TWzRbat565-CXf2yg

How an errand for a 12-year-old immigrant in Minneapolis became an underground operation — NPR
Some immigrants in Minneapolis have said they're scared to go out because of ICE agents across the city. When one 12-year-old needed to run an errand, it triggered a network of underground volunteers.

@… Hey, it is me again 😅
Just to let you know that I receive some 400 Bad Request errors from some DoH servers (dns.quad9.net and ns0.fdn.fr for instance) while some others accept my queries (dns.google and Cloudflare 1.1.1.1).
I am not sure yet if the error is on my use of the library or within the library itself.

Strikes run on pizza.
Turns out they also can begin to end on them.
Several pies, in fact, arrived on North Shore Drive on the brisk Tuesday that was Oct. 18, 2022,
when the strikers first walked out of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newsroom

The workers said they would not go back to their jobs until their employer followed the rules.
They had no idea it would take three years

Pittsburgh journalists vote to end country's longest strike and notify the PG they are returning to work - Pittsburgh Union Progress
The Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh’s most momentous gathering since the formation of a strike picket line more than three years ago began last week in the manner of all big strike meetings — with the arrival of a half dozen boxes of pizza. Pepperoni, plain and a vegetarian option. Strikes run on pizza. Turns out […]

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:

Well, today was the day I'd prepared to do my monthly run to the local recycling centre, twelve miles away, on the big cargo bike. The bike is all loaded up and ready to go. But the weather forecast, which last night was saying grey but dry, is now suggesting snow all day; so I think I may change my plans.
Bother.

Microsoft VibeVoice does a really good job in TTS (Even on a CPU). Yet I won't be able to run it on my Minipc 🙁 But at least I was able to make it run on my PC.
If I really want to make my own website-reader, it seems like elevenlabs is the way to go.

Daniel Jeremiah 2026 NFL mock draft 2.0: Giants one of six teams to pick WR; Chiefs go RB https://www.nfl.com/news/daniel-jeremiah-2026-nfl-mock-draft-2-0

#MarshallAllen interview (2024):
“the space age is here to stay,
there’s no place you can run away.
Run to the rock to hide your face,
rock cried out ‘no hiding place.’

So I’ve got a new gig of sorts. I’ll be a volunteer photographer for the city parks system. The task will be to take pics of folks participating in various programs in the parks and natural areas run by other volunteers, to try and capture that attendees are having fun, especially the kids. The difficulty level is that I’ve never liked photographing people. Go out of my way to keep them out of shots. I’ve done a couple events now, and still just feel intrusive. Hope it gets easier.

It's also probably worth pointing out that humans willing to take small actions are more likely to take larger actions in the future. If you want to go from people too afraid to resist to people fighting in the streets, the path goes though little things like this.
This is the anarchist calisthenics equivalent of walking 10 paces a day before you try to prepare to run a marathon.

As if wombats couldn't get any cuter - “A female will go and bite the bum of a male and then run off, and he has to chase her. Or the male will bite her rump, which will cause her to run and he will chase her ... It’s very much a part of the ritual.”

Soo I went for my morning run on the treadmill and forgot I had left ngscopeclient running on my Ethernet benchmark test. I didn't realize until I walked back into the office and wondered why my GPU fan was a little louder than I expected.
It was still happily crunching away eating 8 Gbps of data nonstop.
In that time, it ingested over half a trillion ADC samples, almost 150 billion UIs. The bathtub curves go down to e-10 range without any dual dirac extrapolation or anything…

Sam Altman says the Anthropic Super Bowl ads are funny but "dishonest", and Anthropic serves a "product to rich people" while OpenAI is committed to free access (Sam Altman/@sama)

First, the good part of the Anthropic ads: they are funny, and I laughed. But I wonder why Anthropic would go for something so clearly dishonest. Our most important principle for ads says that we won’t do exactly this; we would obviously never run ads in the way Anthropic

Q: I run Ubuntu 25.10 and use filen.io to mount a cloud service to sync files between computers (limited to a specific folder). But it doesn't work to autostart it as it is out of sandbox - is there any way to go around that limitation? It has worked before and I trus filen.io so I have no issues to use some kind of fix to cirkumvent the settings for that specific app. #linux

I've played a bunch of roguelites and they are often fun, but I keep dropping off of them after a few hours usually. There's often somewhat interesting storytelling but at some point I'd prefer to just not go through the motions of "another run" and just not keep on playing. Happened with Hades and ond two and a bunch of others.

Deadly storm sparks floods in Spain, raises calls to postpone Portugal vote
A deadly storm that triggered floods and thousands of evacuations in the Iberian Peninsula sparked calls on Thursday for Portugal's presidential run-off to be postponed, but electoral officials insisted it would go ahead.

Have made these kinds of commands with Puppet Resource layer - but just “require ‘puppet’” can take a second let alone all the other startup costs.
Seeing the same pattern but very fast is a whole different experience. Long way to go but feeling pretty good.

This is a totally sensible policy for video editing. The marketing term "AI" is absolutely misplaced for modern features like matte creation (image segmentation, background removal) or motion tracking (and pose estimation) and even speech-to-text transcription. These things have existed for a long time - just not as good - and they run locally in an open-source NLE (non-linear editor).

Fuck. I was wondering what was going on with my computer since it was so slow, but I assumed it was topaz AI working in the background. Then I got this alert.
Had just updated the BRAW Toolbox plug-in, and when I ran activity monitor I watched that plug-in go from single digit gigabytes of memory to over 80. Meanwhile I was wondering what on earth was causing my MacBook Pro to literally /run down the battery/ while plugged into mains power...
Seems that plugin is dodgy...

Office confession number 2 for today - if we run out of something in our break room, I always go to the executives break room. Weirdly, their kitchen area is always stocked up to the brim. Strange.
Sometimes I steal their supply and bring it up to our break room. I'm not ashamed of it either.

Consistent with the United States’ continued slide into an economy powered almost entirely by LLM slop, financialization, and ever-pervasive exploitative gambling,
“prediction market app” Kalshi “entered into an official partnership” with CNN this week
to bring their “data to CNN’s journalism across its television, digital and social channels.”
Soon, CNN will run live odds on world events
where its viewers can gamble on them in real time on their smart phones.

The network will integrate betting odds for life-and-death issues into its coverage. What could possibly go wrong?

Raiders Make Huge Pete Carroll Call Before Chiefs Game: Report https://heavy.com/sports/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/pete-carroll-decision-before-chiefs-game/

Giving stuff away feels good. Love seeing a clean room after a thrift store run. Maybe this year is the year of letting things go to a new home.

EVs are surprisingly powerful. This is not an endorsement to drive badly, but here's a relevant anecdote.
Yesterday, I was moving along our local freeway just above the posted 110kph limit when I started to get boxed in by some silly drivers doing silly things and acting erractically.
In order to avoid any possibility of a bad situation, I moved into the passing lane and accelerated quickly to go around someone and separate myself from the crowd.
I stepped on the “gas” and easily went around the person in a few seconds… then I looked down and realized I was doing 150kph.
Whoa horsey!🐎
I pulled back into the travelling lane and slowed down to 115kph.
That kind of acceleration, especially at that already high cruising speed, just wasn’t possible in any other car I've ever owned.
EVs are great, but they are still vehicles that can reach dangerously high speeds.
Here's another anecdote: Last week my daughter was very nearly run over by a truck as she was walking in a crosswalk. She was halfway across the street when an (oversized) pickup truck turned left across her, completely on a red light. She is relatively small in stature, her head would have barely been above the hood of the truck.
She saw it at the last second and jumped back... the truck missed by inches. Another car at the intersection honked at the truck. It stopped in the crosswalk, the driver gave HER a dirty look, and zoomed off. The car driver who honked leaned out the window and kindly asked if she was ok. She was.
Driving is the most dangerous thing we do on a daily basis.. for ourselves, and everyone around us. Take care out there friends.

In the statement he made to investors and media today, Sarandos said, “I’d say right now, you should count on everything that is planned on going to the theater through Warner Bros. will continue to go to the theaters through Warner Bros.” He added, “But our primary goal is to bring first-run movies to our members, because that’s what they’re looking for.” Not exactly a ringing declaration of loyalty to the religion of cinema.
