Annex 1 of the Anti Coercion Instrument sets out possible measures that the EU could impose, including,
"7. The imposition of restrictions on the protection of intellectual property rights or their commercial exploitation, in relation to rightholders that are nationals of the third country concerned, which may amount, as necessary, to the non-performance of applicable international obligations with respect to trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights."
Scheme, the ur programming language, is 50 years old, as Jason Hemann just reminded me.
»RSL 1.0 (Really Simple Licensing) statt robots.txt — Neuer Standard für Internet-Inhalte:
Ein neuer Standard, um Inhalte im Internet zu schützen. RSL wird von Akteuren wie Verlagen und der Werbebranche unterstützt.«
Ich erfahre davon erst jetzt - mal sehen wie weit dies nützlich ist und allgemein Webinhalte schützt oder nur wieder die kommerzielle Daten.

Finally an RGB image of comet #3IATLAS from images taken by #GeminiNorth during the 26 November #shadowTheScientists session: https://noirlab.edu/public/news/noirlab2532/ - the coma has become bluer due to more gas emission. Also published today: an X-ray image by XMM-Newton at https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2025/12/XMM-Newton_sees_comet_3I_ATLAS_in_X-ray_light with explanations in http://www.cbat.eps.harvard.edu/iau/cbet/005600/CBET005646.txt which also contains more 3I news.
Meanwhile the paper https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2515-5172/ae2915 claims an upper limit for 3I's nucleus diameter of only some 750 meters from the measured non-gravitational acceleration (NGA) parameters: that would be waaay more stringent than the 5.6 km upper limit from early Hubble observations reported in https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/adf8d8 (where also a lower limit of 440 meters is stated).
Successfully got the openSUSE Pi5 abomination booting off a WD VelociRaptor 10kRPM SATA hard drive that uses more power than the entire rest of the computer!
Things are different in openSUSE-aarch64 land compared to Raspbian:
1. videocore loads a grub executable, so it feels like a PC when it boots
2. there's no /boot/cmdline.txt (on mmcblk0p1 or elsewhere)
3. the usual `grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg` / update-grub command autodetects current root and silen…
One pattern you can always count on: if you ever explain a technology by describing how the human and social aspects matter more than the obscure technical details, a certain cohort of dudes who are inept at socialization will lash out about their insecurities by trying to condescend. Who here thinks I wrote ~5000 words on Markdown but I don’t know what plain text files are?
I built smolweb a collection of php scripts to help start building a blog and small shop front.
Features: webring, blog, rss, image resizer, shop
All data is saved and read from csv, json & txt files, no databases.
100% php ensures you can run this on cheap php shared hosting instead of a vps.

@… The most obvious candidates would be BZip2 (Method 12) or XZ (Method 95). BZip2 is pretty widespread, well supported by a range of tools and was first introduced into the Zip APPNOTE.TXT (the official Specification) in 2001. Despite being around for almost 25 years in the spec, MS be like 🤷. Indeed for a long time Apple did not even support Deflate…

this is the way.
Imagine ChatGPT but instead of predicting text it just linked you to the to 3 documents most-influential on the probabilities that would have been used to predict that text.
Could even generate some info about which parts of each would have been combined how.
There would still be issues with how training data is sourced and filtered, but these could be solved by crawling normally respecting robots.txt and by paying filterers a fair wage with a more relaxed work schedule and mental health support.
The energy issues are mainly about wild future investment and wasteful query spam, not optimized present-day per-query usage.
Is this "just search?"
Yes, but it would have some advantages for a lot of use cases, mainly in synthesizing results across multiple documents and in leveraging a language model more fully to find relevant stuff.
When we talk about the harms of current corporate LLMs, the opportunity cost of NOT building things like this is part of that.
The equivalent for art would have been so amazing too! "Here are some artists that can do what you want, with examples pulled from their portfolios."
It would be a really cool coding assistant that I'd actually encourage my students to use (with some guidelines).

On the Raspberry Pi 5, the Raspberry Pi Foundation's decision to require 5v5a and essentially mandate the use of a quite nonstandard USB-C power supply to get the rated performance out of the system is fucking dumbassed to all hell and causes the device to be extremely inflexible in any application outside the most basic maker/dabbler shit. What if I want to integrate the Pi5 with a NAS? I have to put two overrides in config.txt, and then it still moans about undervoltage even when provi…
Later, after I keyed n (to not continue), installation did continue.
This is partly understandable, because the y/n prompt was in response to a command that used
-y
Not really a bug, just slightly surprising.

19. How do you keep track of dates and events in a WIP?
20. What rôle does death (or undeath!) play in your work?
21. What is your take on the adverb debate?

19. Any WIP that needs dates and events is probably already big enough to void memorization.
