The SSDs in my storage cluster that I bought for a bit under $800 a while back are now over $1300, a >50% price increase.
I'm only at 60% ish usage so hopefully I can keep my rate of data growth in check until the bubble pops. Otherwise I'm either gonna have to pay scalper prices for more NVMe or add some spinning rust back in.
At the rate things are going I've probably got a year or two before things get tight.

ooh there’s a new kensington expert mouse TB800
i used to use an expert mouse; more recently i’ve been using the slimblade instead
this new expert mouse has a lower profile like the slimblade, and apparently a much smoother scroll wheel
(with the slimblade you twist the ball to scroll which is a neat trick but a scroll wheel has better ergonomics)
the new one has more buttons and side scroll things too
weirdly i can’t find it on kensington’s webshite

Content warning: ICE & resistance
In case anyone was wondering about the relevance of #LandBack in the current moment, via CrimeThinc an article on the Minneapolis resistance states:
"""
The Whipple, a federal building in Fort Snelling on the outskirts of the Minneapolis and St. Paul, has long been a regional headquarters for ICE, having previously housed other federal agencies. The complex is located across the street from a National Guard base, down the road from a military base, and next to the preserved fort itself. The fort sits on the sacred site of the convergence of two rivers. It was one of the earliest sites of colonization in the area; at one time, it was a concentration camp holding native Dakota people.
"""
If at any point in the past you ever felt that maybe Native soverignty was a niche issue, or so far from being realized that other causes were more important or relevant, things like this are a good reminder that that cause: overturning the colonial order, is the *same* cause as any meaningful change from the fascist status quo. Things like a "return to democracy" aren't necessarily bad, but the rot runs to the root of this nation, and any intervention that doesn't go that deep is going to leave us right back in this situation again later on.
The fact that ICE is detaining Native Americans is not at all a mistake given their white supremacist aims.

One of the things that made organizing a lot easier with the GDC was a thing called "GDC in a box." It was a zip file with all kinds of resources. There was a directory structure, templates for all kinds of things like meetings and paperwork you had to file (for legal reasons) and "read me" files.
We had all kinds of support. There were people you could talk to who had been there. There were people you could call to walk through legal paperwork (taxes). Centralized orgs are vulnerable and easy to infiltrate. They're easy for states to shut down. But there are benefits to org structures.
I think it's possible to have the type of support we had with the GDC, but without the politics of an org (even the IWW). I hope this most recent essay has some of the same properties. I hope that it makes building something new, something no one has really imagined before, easier.
This whole project is something a bit different. It's a collective vision and collective project, from the ground up. Some of it has felt like a brain dump, just getting things that have been swimming around in my head down somewhere. But I hope this feels more like an invitation.
Everything thus far written is all useless unless people do things with it. Only from that point does it become a thing that lives, a thing with its own consciousness that can't be controlled by any individual human.
Tech billionaire cultists want to bring a new era of humanity with AGI. That is definitely not possible with LLMs, and may not be possible at all. But there is a super intelligence that is possible, though it's been constrained by capitalism: collective human intelligence.
The grand vision of the tech dystopians is that of the ultimate slave that can then enslave all humans on their behalf. I think we can build a humanity that can liberate itself from their grasp, crush their vision, and build for itself a world in which people will never be enslaved again. Not only do I think it's possible, I think it's necessary. I think there are only two choices: collective liberation or death.
And that's what I plan to write about next time to wrap this whole project up. Today things often feel impossible. But people talked about the Middle Ages as though they were the end of the world, and then everything changed in unimaginable ways. Everything can, and will, change again.
"The profit motive often is in conflict with the aims of art. We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings."

As I continue to listen for the first time in decades to my collection of 7 inches (mostly upper Midwestern punk and ska from the early 90s), I'm struck by two things. First, while much of it is genuinely good, a lot of it is not, so much so that even nostalgia is powerless. Second, and more importantly, even the bad stuff sounds like nothing so much as freedom to me. These groups, like my friends and I, made things they wanted, without waiting for permission. Kids can be pretty cool.

'graphviz' is a suite of programs for drawing graphs (In the nodes/edges senses, rather than upwards and to the right sense) - and it uses a file format called 'dot'. Lots of things generate dot output (such as systemd-analyze I mentioned) and it's really easy to generate from scripts and things. 'dotty' is probably the most common program in the suite.
There are some newer formats and programs - but this one is probably the most universal.

There’s a vast spectrum of schemes for fixing this, ranging from capitalist versions of “intellectual property” to Marxist “just end capitalism” notions to various versions of “easy, society should just be different.” I find them all lacking, both in theory and in practice. This is a problem that’s existed for millennia, not decades, and I’m not convinced we have a clear solution.

VRCX is a way better tool than I ever imagined. Back when I heard about it for the first time, it just sounded like one of those lowkey stalker tools. But it's actually so good. Being able to see things like when I met a person and where, how much time we've been together, etc. is really helpful. I often struggle remembering stuff like this and VRCX gives me just the right amount of context I need to remember.

Uruguay just proved the skeptics wrong. In only two years, the country shifted to 98% renewable electricity—and poverty rates dropped as a result.
This wasn't some slow, painful transition. It was rapid, economically beneficial, and shows that decarbonization doesn't have to hurt. The economic case for clean energy is real, and we need to stop being afraid to make it.

In episode 207 I shared advice from six former podcast guests on what they do to improve or maintain their own mental health. Hear what Jasmine Sleigh says about sleep, and about actually doing the things that helps us rather than just aspiring to do them!

I’ll just say this: For the very most part, the systems of our society do not reward creators. They reward people who have power over what is created.
A deep part of our society’s mythology is that we reward people with great ideas, people who make great things — and therefore those who are rewarded must somehow be great.
That is false. If you see someone rewarded, the most likely explanation is that they had power to reap rewards.

It's been a rough week because so many computer things I wanted to do just were too difficult, didn't work, or I ended up spending (wasting?) too much time on them.
Some things did work though, and I learned a lot. Some of what I learned is that computers and certain companies (and people) suck, but there's always a way around things that don't work.

The flames certainly entertained that one person. Moderators might have been less amused; it …

The joys of working on an open source project that interfaces to obscure, sometimes obsolete hardware: regression testing is almost impossible.
Sure, we can catch regressions in the GUI easily. But if a big fix to a driver breaks things for a different scope supported by that driver, there's no way to test without having one of those scopes around to validate things against.
And there's way too many models of instrument out there for building any kind of CI cluster to be …

So today and all week, Minneapolis has been on edge because some J6 Nazi type staged a Saturday hate rally downtown. They were going to “march” into a neighborhood with a large East African population, but…well, things didn’t exactly go according to their plan.
I haven’t been posting a lot about it today, because I wanted to keep the response local. But I’ve been gathering reports from the ground and folks watching live video, and I think we’ve reached the point where I can share some choice excerpts.
