TL;DR: Node’s standalone binaries have been broken on major Linux distributions since version 25. Stay on 24 if you need them functional by default.
If you’re installing Node.js via a standalone binary package, think twice before upgrading to Node 26.
On many Linux distributions these binaries will fail unless you separately install libatomic.so.1.

#Gentoo PSA: due to my oversight, upgrading sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin to the latest versions on every branch does not result in /usr/src/linux symlink being updated. I will try to fix it in 10 hours.
A workaround is to update the symlink manually or remove it and run `emerge --config gentoo-kernel-bin`. You may need to run `@module-rebuild` afterwards.
This is a one time problem. Once the symlink is updated (or becomes invalid, e.g. through --depclean), subsequent upgrades will update it correctly.
I'm sorry for the trouble.

Some students are directing AI agents to “take” entire online courses for them,
letting the software run in the background while they focus on better uses of their time,
--like doomscrolling on their phone or gaming.
The New York Times unpacked the trend in a recent story,
and it’s a testament to how extreme AI-enabled cheating has become,
but also of the perils of getting an education in a virtual environment instead of a physical one.

For those that don't know, I help run a large women in technology chat group on Slack. It's been going for 11 years now! (ask me for an invite if you want one and that's appropriate!)
It has deeply shaped how I think about technology, especially the social side. There is so much embodied knowledge in that community, it's amazing. And it's also such a window into how much the mainstream of technology writing is dominated by men. We talk about it differently! We're much more likely to be critical, and to be critical of the _structures_ in tech. Sometimes that comes off as kneejerk "Ugh BRIAN!" to some of the bullshit men to do women in the workplace, but also embedded underneath is an understanding of rarely-mapped power structures in the field. So much advice out there is written assuming that there is no dissent, no silent frustration, no quiet abandoning the job when the pressures are unresolved. And so much of the tech world, press and on social media alike, has no insight that this attrition even happens.
Women, collectively, though, understand it. We notice the patterns of promotions. We understand the way that if we're in our 40s, we're rather likely to have a manager who is a decade younger than we are, with no particular experience. We notice when men are lauded for spending time with their family instead of work on occasion, but women are expected to be present at all times and rarely seen positively for doing the exact same things.
And yet, any given instance is always shrouded in deniability. The pattern generally holds, but is this one my fault? Do I not measure up? Or is it sexism?
That's what these structures rob from us: we never have the clarity in feedback that it is accurate, that is us that must change. When we stick to our guns, are we being obstinate, or are we correct? That information is denied to us by sexism. It only becomes clear in aggregate, and even then it is very hard to find action to take on it except to acknowledge it and move on.
I don't think people talk about that ambiguity enough: we're always looking for the clear sexism, the man speaking over the women, the trading sexual favors for advancement, the clear pattern of pet-to-threat that so many women experience as they age or gain skill in the field. But the bulk of sexism that we experience is in the structural poisoning of feedback.
Never put off till run-time what you can do at compile-time.

Starting to inventory components for the rest of the LATENTRED line card build.
Very confused as to how I ended up with a sealed tray containing *five* VSC8512 PHYs. I need six to populate the three line cards.
And I don't think I have any overstock from the initial prototyping run, at least I didn't see any in my PHY/transceivers bin or the dedicated project bin.
