JENNA: There it is, look. Circling every two minutes.
BLAKE: When d'you pick it up?
JENNA: Just before I called you.
BLAKE: It's circling all the time?

@pre@boing.worldBroken wrist meant I had to sit on the sofa for a month doing nothing really. I re-watched all 200 or so episodes of Buffy for the first time this decade.
What an achievement in TV production. Amazing show.
I'll watch it again next decade maybe.
Not that I read a huge amount. Hopefully more next year.
"Outland" by Dennis E Taylor, and actually also his "Not Till We Are Lost"
"Broken Money" by Lyn Alden.
Think "Severance" was the most remarkable show I watched this year, with "Trek, Strange New Worlds" also being great again.
"Pantheon" was a pretty great cartoon, haven't seen the second season yet.
@david@boles.xyzThe Great Audio Laundering: How AI Scammers are Highjacking the ACX Premium Market and Defrauding the Human Soul
The digital landscape of 2026 was supposed to be a golden age for the independent author, a time when the friction between a creative vision and a global audience finally dissolved into a seamless stream of data. We were promised a world where high-quality production was accessible to anyone with a story to tell and the capital to invest in professional…

SERVALAN: How could I? [Turns off speaker.] You have Orac.
SERVALAN: Battle Fleet Commander, You heard that.
COMMANDER: [On viewscreen] Yes.
SERVALAN: I think it's time we tested the determination of the Pyroans.

@UP8@mastodon.social🦨 Do-it-yourself ammonia production: Renewable-powered system uses calcium to reduce emissions and scale for farmers
https://phys.org/news/2026-01-ammonia-production-renewable-powered-calcium.html
@teledyn@mstdn.caI 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)

AVON: Oh, but you do. And that's the problem.
BLAKE: Up until now we've only been a minor irritation to the Federation. I think it's about time we hurt them.
JENNA: I don't like the sound of that.

@deprogrammaticaipsum@mas.to"What has not changed in 50 years is the fact we are still using centralized architectures, prone to government intrusion and privacy leaks. Maybe it is time to think about a “Post Cloud” era where information is distributed instead of centralized. Of course this raises questions of trust, cryptography, security and collaboration, but the technology to build such systems already exists. It is more of a question of policy and education than of technology."
@azonenberg@ioc.exchangeRecently picked up a "ceramic" coated frying pan for the first time and wondering what it's actually made of and how it's put on.
From the color I'm guessing alumina or maybe silica is likely? Sintered powder coating then firing? My first inclination for putting such a layer on something would be CVD but that's probably too expensive for the thicknesses and production volumes in question, but I feel like a sintered powder layer would be too porous.
@fanf@mendeddrum.orgi talked about this demo in the pub on weds and this toot just reappeared in my feed :-)

@ethanwhite@hachyderm.io"A package’s value isn’t primarily its implementation code. Anyone can rewrite curl in Rust in a weekend, as Daniel Stenberg has heard many times. What they can’t rewrite is the twenty years of bug reports, the weird edge cases someone hit in production and took the time to fix, the arguments in issue threads that eventually settled on the right behavior. That knowledge is spread across the package’s history and it grew organically. No prompt captures it."

@lpryszcz@genomic.socialimagine spinning a little jet engine capable of supersonic flight next time you prompt your favorite LLM / genAI...
naturally, there are companies producing gas turbines for data centers, but like with RAM memory and SSD, the unexpected growth of data centers caused shortages, hence repurposing of jet engines for energy production...

BLAKE: [To Jenna] Put Zen on constant scan. I want to know immediately if those Federation ships come into this system.
JENNA: Of course. [goes to teleport controls]

@pre@boing.worldHearing a lot of people saying that Trump can't profit from his raid because it takes years to build an oil extraction drilling system and refinery and mines. His term will be over! His life may already be at it's end!
But of course you can get credit based on expectation of future gains, plus the bribes don't take decades to mature to full production! The bribes start right away!
@mrysav@social.linux.pizzaHappy Everything Breaks Day! The day when all the major tech companies lift their change freezes and deploy to production for the first time in weeks.

AVON: No, but they weren't planning on coming back. All the instruments are set for landing. There's nothing for take off.
BLAKE: There'd be no point in going back. The world they left would be dead years ago.

MUTOID: Normally I wouldn't do it in the presence of an unmodified.

MUTOID: They have not had time to get far.
TRAVIS: Couple of miles at the most, and without their teleport they're earthbound now.
MUTOID: I will call security.
TRAVIS: No!

JENNA: Gan, the aliens have linked their ship to our power source. I'm getting a very heavy power loss. I'll have to disconnect. You'll be all right, won't you?
GAN: [Nods] Yes.
