Oh wow ​LLMs are just so terrible. 🤦‍♂️
I made a #systemd service watcher¹ ( :nixos: #NixOS module²³) which regularly feeds systemd status outputs into an LLM (mistral here) and sends me an email if it thinks it found real problems. Well, now I always get alarmist emails with bullshit warnings, suc…

With the 'kea' dhcp server, I'm finding it's not responsive after boot until I restart it; it might be because I've configured it to only listen on one interface and the interface existed but wasn't up yet (until I switched the one other machine it was wired to on).
Hmph.

No sign Russia is preparing to restart Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, Reuters reports: https://benborges.xyz/2025/05/29/no-sign-russia-is-preparing.html

Finally with some new help we were able to restart the "Neos monthly" initiative again and have our first post 🥳

More depressing news as governments swallow propaganda from the nuclear power lobby.
Renewables won't deliver the power currently used, and projected, but nor will nuclear, which also depends on fossil fuels, uses a scarce and diminishing resource, and leaves a toxic legacy for which there is no adequate solution.
The only solution is radical energy descent.

Iran could restart enriching uranium in months, says nuclear watchdog chief (Financial Times)

hahaha Verstappen .... the man lost it ... once he watches the replays he will realize that he lost his marbles on the restart #f1
Decent race for it being at Barcelona, Red Bull made it a bit tense there for McLaren

- Doctor, the defibrillator is broken!
- There's no time to fix it. We'll have to restart his heart with klezmer music!

A continuous-time model to interpolate between speed and function value restart in accelerated first order methods
We introduce a new restarting scheme for a continuous inertial dynamics with Hessian driven-damping, and establish a linear convergence rate for the function values along the restarted trajectories. The proposed routine is a generalization of existing speed restart schemes, and interpolates between speed and function value restarts, considerably delaying the restarting time, while preserving the function value decrease. Numerical experiments show an improvement in the convergence rates for both…

How to Restart the Grid after total collapse by The Electric Brit

Entirely reasonable.
"Hamas has responded to the latest US-proposed ceasefire with demands for a pathway to a permanent ceasefire, instead of a temporary one where the Israeli government could unilaterally restart hostilities as they did in March.
"They have also called for a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip and the resumption of aid and assistance to the besieged area."

Why Hamas is seeking to change the US-proposed Gaza ceasefire deal
Hamas claims the response was positive but with added provisions. Still, they’ve drawn criticism from the US and Israel.

Well that was an interesting one to debug... My blocky DNS service was down after a cluster restart
A given #metallb speaker won’t advertise the service if:
- the service has externalTrafficPolicy=local and there are no running endpoints on the speaker’s node
To use externalTrafficPolicy=local, the tolerations on metallb pods must match the tolerations on the destination pods…

For a few days, I drove a 2024 #Toyota. I'm afraid that all those #DriverAssist systems are a terrible cocktail.
Several times a day, the car would suddenly break for no reason. Dangerous! I turned that off, but after every restart, it was back on.
Changing lanes or overtaking w…

I have a trick for getting into a box that’s being clobbered by a crawler DDoS: set the ITerm2 profile to auto-restart and open a half-dozen duplicate sessions. Basically: put a bunch of my SYNs in the queues to compete with the bots.
Ugly as sin, but it ultimately works.
Also: fuck those guys. And fuck their ISPs for being so comatose that they don't notice.

okay. took 5 -10 tries but if you accept that's part of Expedition 33 it's not so bad.
I really want a battle restart option though because 1 wrong parry and the battle could easily be over.
