@cyrevolt@mastodon.socialGhost in the friendly and interactive shell (fish):
I removed a `set -x VARNAME ...` line from my fish config.
Spawning a new shell still had that variable.
I ran `set -e VARNAME`. For the current shell, it's gone.
Spawning a new shell again, I got it back. What..?
Okay, so I closed _all the fish instances_.
And the damn env var came back *again*!?!
Looks like that's because it's my login shell.
A fresh login session no longer had it.

@bird@birdbox.partyIn the past few weeks there has been a bot farm hammering small Mastodon instances with requests for what looks like emoji-related assets and the hashtag API.
More specifically, it appears this bot farm has now come for my Mastodon instance, because the number of requests has doubled in the last 24 hours, with a lot of the requests being API requests for a single JSON file.
Even more specifically, looking at data provided by my CDN provider, a lot of the bots appear to be using IP addresses associated with Tencent Singapore.

@davidaugust@mastodon.onlineLikely violating the UN Charter (article 2(4), article 51) and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (article 88, article 90), and possibly the Geneva Conventions, Additional Protocol I as well, the United States killed 87 Iranian sailors over 1,000 miles from Iran.
Unclear if the United States even attempted to rescue any of the 32 survivors rescued by the Sri Lankan Navy and Air Force.

arXiv:2602.01104v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We study beyond worst case analysis for the $k$-means problem where the goal is to model typical instances of $k$-means arising in practice. Existing theoretical approaches provide guarantees under certain assumptions on the optimal solutions to $k$-means, making them difficult to validate in practice. We propose the manifold hypothesis, where data obtained in ambient dimension $D$ concentrates around a low dimensional manifold of intrinsic dimension $d$, as a reasonable assumption to model real world clustering instances. We identify key geometric properties of datasets which have theoretically predictable scaling laws depending on the quantization exponent $\varepsilon = 2/d$ using techniques from optimum quantization theory. We show how to exploit these regularities to design a fast seeding method called $\operatorname{Qkmeans}$ which provides $O(\rho^{-2} \log k)$ approximate solutions to the $k$-means problem in time $O(nD) \widetilde{O}(\varepsilon^{1 \rho}\rho^{-1}k^{1 \gamma})$; where the exponent $\gamma = \varepsilon \rho$ for an input parameter $\rho < 1$. This allows us to obtain new runtime - quality tradeoffs. We perform a large scale empirical study across various domains to validate our theoretical predictions and algorithm performance to bridge theory and practice for beyond worst case data clustering.

@compfu@mograph.socialThere are at least two instances of Space Battleship Yamato (anime and live-action) and they both feel kinda goofy: a ship-shaped spaceship. I thought that this was some Japanese thing -- paying homage to a heroic part of their history. I recently saw a documentary about the real battleship Yamato and oh boy... what a mess. Are there any Japanese amongst my followers who can tell me if these sci-fi versions are about paying homage? Because to me it feels a bit like historic revisionism.

@paulbusch@mstdn.caThis message is intended for Canadian #Mastodon admins who are running public instances large and small. If you are an admin, please share with your counterparts. If you are a member of a Canadian instance, please send this to your admin.
A small group of us (Note: really, really small) are in early discussions on how to encourage our government - individual politicians & federal, provincial, and municipal departments - to move their social media presence to Mastodon. This would involve an awareness campaign targeting politicians, party HQs, and departments/agencies.
We are asking for input from admins to help us create a future state vision for this project, and provide us with advice or ideas on how to bring it to a reality. I will set up a web call within the next 3 weeks and hopefully you can participate. We are not asking you to contribute beyond input. Please DM me and I will add you to the invitees.

@luana@wetdry.worldSo, with the Discord thing rn I guess teh closest we have to an alternative is like Zulip? Except it's more self-hosted focused.
So, is anyone around here hosting a Zulip (or other real, feature-complete, discord alternative that I don't know yet) instance open to (or even better, focused on) small-ish kink communities?
I have some friends on discord that I really wanted to migrate somewhere else.
I thought about hosting one in my NAS, but even if cgnat wasn't a thing actively moderating porn-focused places seems like a nightmare so I'd want something hosted by someone with a bit more experience on that such as moderating fedi servers or something. I guess some people who host fedi instances probably also host chat rooms right?
