"I had gone to take a walk on a fine Sabbath afternoon. I had entered the Green by the gate at the foot of Charlotte Street – had passed the old washing-house. I was thinking about the engine at the time and had gone as far as the Herd’s house when the idea came into my mind, that as steam was an elastic body it would rush into a vacuum, and if a communication was made between the cyl…

I am guessing no one here can confirm or deny this #java #JVM crash-on-keystore-decrypt which, if true, is a VERY SERIOUS BUG that could not be trusted in a production environment, and then has gone unfixed for decades? That does not seem very likely, does it?
As it is, keytool says there is nothing wrong with my keystore or its password, and watching the process launch I see after the init, it sits, idle, a few seconds later its Time value in top only increments the millisecs, and within a minute, it is gone, voom, not a trace in any logs as to why.
I do, truly, LOATH this technology. It is so fucking fragile; a life-sentence for the sr developers and sysadmins in production systems (that's why they often don't get holidays)

ICE hasn’t gone; they’re just finding ways to operate that are less visible, finding targets with fewer eyes watching:

Don’t forget the people ICE is targeting. Don’t let them become invisible.

I was lucky enough to be given an M&S voucher by my employer on Friday. I bought a lovely black top that arrived today and works exactly as I'd hoped with my new trousers. I've gone mad and bought a cream one of a similar shape but slightly different design. What's the betting it fits *completely* differently and I hate it?

Surely this is the most confusing metaphor they could have gone with?

So much of the ICE invasion’s harm here in Minneapolis is going to be diffuse, long-term, things that faded away quietly, things that •didn’t• happen, injuries barely seen and never tallied.
Long after the media spotlight is gone, we’re going to be repairing, rebuilding, trying to catch back up, trying to heal, trying to fill the holes these months left. It’s like a whole second pandemic for us.

Veganism, a thread 🧵:
Having gone vegan, I genuinely struggle now to square vegetarians' love of animals with the realities of the dairy and egg industries. For context, I grew up vegetarian and went vegan about 5 years ago now, but I realized the inherent moral tension back in college (I just wanted to do some research to ensure I wasn't losing nutrition and stuff, more on that later).

Sonnet 081 - LXXXI
Or I shall live your epitaph to make,
Or you survive when I in earth am rotten,
From hence your memory death cannot take,
Although in me each part will be forgotten.
Your name from hence immortal life shall have,
Though I, once gone, to all the world must die:
The earth can yield me but a common grave,
When you entombed in men's eyes shall lie.
Your monument shall be my gentle verse,
Which eyes not yet created…

Something has gone structurally wrong in Canada, and the evidence is no longer ambiguous. In 2024, 16,499 Canadians died through the country's Medical Assistance in Dying program, accounting for 5.1 percent of…

Maybe that’s alarming to you, but you think we can still coast through it, wait it out. OK. Fine.
Maybe your red line is US troops gunning down civilians. Like Tiananmen Square. Like Iran this past week. That has not happened under the Trump regime yet. That is a horrifying red line — but maybe it is •your• red line.
Wherever it is, I am asking you now, from my home in Minneapolis, to think: what is •your• red line, the place where you think, “This is too much. Normal is gone. Life as I knew it has to stop until this ends.”

It's one of my usual hikes but clouds or fog always make it so special as the usual background is gone and I see the motives in a complete different way.

I understand the reason for two-factor authentication, but for rarely used services, it's just painful when authentication with the last iPhone is gone for years.

In tender embassy of love to thee,
My life, being made of four, with two alone
Sinks down to death, oppress'd with melancholy;
Until life's composition be recured

Renee Good is a crisis for the Trump regime: not because they care about her life, but because ICE murdering her makes ICE look bad. They’ve been telling all these stories about all the imaginary violence ICE officers face. In their minds, it’s the people on the streets who were supposed to lose their cool first. Now they’re falling over themselves to make that happen.
We just want ICE gone, but their bosses want them dead. And no, I’m sure they do not understand this.
