Have any of you ever flown commercially in #latex ? I have been tempted, but have concerns re: overheating or setting off someone's allergy

I know that https://www.instagram.com/tight_connection/ does so frequently. Getting a custom catsuit for where you are flying? So neat

It's nice when Microsoft has a huge huge HUGE outage and the only way it impacts me is that I can't play some minecraft when I decide to take a break. Looks like you can't even start the game to play in single-player when Azure's broken. Lovely.

(Maybe disconnecting the machine from the internet would let me start it in offline mode, but I have a whole bunch of SSH sessions open that I don't want to breakโ€ฆ ๐Ÿคท)

When it's quiet

I can hear him

The monster in my head.

Quietly

inside of me

as I lie awake in bed.

"Let me out, let me outโ€

It's all he's ever said.

I fear for what will happen

on the day I wake up dead.

Windows 10 has now reached its official end of life and will not be updated further.

It still does not work properly, but the lack of updates does at least mean it will now remain broken in a consistent way with no prospect of another update breaking yet more of Windows.

Fox mastodon (AP)

Yus, Windows 10 will keep on working just like any other older OS versions. Use a nice anti-virus [1], a decent firewall [2], a "no you cannot do this and/or that"- software [3] and do not visit websites you don't want your mother to know about. (yes, there are many more factors)

But broken? What is broken exactly? I am using my w10 install since forever and this machine is literally always on, up to 100 days at the time. It's working properly! Not an attack btw, just curious. :)

EDITS because it is super busy at work x3

@fox The whole list is quite long, but I can start with it cannot schedule for nuts. It's memory management sucks. Random boot failures that occur after the software has control of it. Its inability to schedule I/O so that the whole GUI does not hang because one device is not responding. Far too much runs in supervisor mode for no reason. Its ability to just forget it is on a network, while using that network. The deliberate breaking of agreed standards to try to force it to only interact with other versions of Windows. The Spyware, particularly when it brings down part of the OS. They way it just moves devices around at random. It determination not to process some interrupts. The need to constantly re-run sfc to get it back into a state where it will boot. It rewriting configuration files to be what it wants, not what the host machine needs. That's before I get into all the mindless and idiotic things it has done atw the user level.
@Fox
Fox mastodon (AP)
That's quite a bit! I have no knowledge of many of the stuff, but the boot issues - are you sure that's not a sneaky hardware issue?
TundraWolf mastodon (AP)
@fox Absolutely. Reproduced on 50+ machines from a mix of suppliers.
@Fox

Ooooh. So after I let it do one final update, that'll be it? I'll be free of having to have a calendar entry on my phone at all times to remind me when my laptop's current "update pause" is coming to an end and that I need to schedule a time to shut everything down to allow it to do updates and reboots before I put it on hold again and move the phone calendar entry another 6 weeks into the future and repeat the whole process againโ€ฆ Phew!

I'm personally quite happy with one stable release every two years, and
am of the opinion that trying to release more will mean we'll have to
rename the distro from "stable" to "wobbly".

Got a call with Caller ID saying it's from my Credit Union.

They told me there was an account breach. In a very Indian accent.

I asked if it was a breach or an incident.

He told me it was a breach.

I asked what of my data had been exfiltrated.

He said third parties had access to all of my personal info and that they needed to verify some of my information before resuming with the disclosures.

I told him I would call my credit union back to make sure there was a legit problem.

"Sir, you must read the caller ID, we are from your credit union!"

Yeah, Caller ID can be spoofed. Both number and name. AAMOF, I have an app I've done it with as a prank.

<click>

Just remember, folks, Caller ID name and number CAN be spoofed. Always tell someone who claims to be from a financial institution that you'll call them back.

Just a heads up to never even pick up these kinds of calls, even just picking up, they are getting you in on their scam because now they know your number is active and they sell active numbers to other scammers and phone botters

@oshy The number was actually my credit unionโ€™s, and Caller ID stated it as such. You missed that part.

Itโ€™s been 6 months since I got the phone call that changed a lot of things in my life. I might have been sent to a really low place in the aftermath but I have grown and processed past trauma and still continue to do so for my future, whether people join me or not.

Hurrah. I think I've established that the spare RAM I have sitting in a box is not compatible with the server I was planning to put it in (at least, alongside the other RAM it's already got), so that saves a job.

To be specific, the machine currently has 48GB in 6 sticks and I have another 48GB in 12 sticks, so I could have doubled its capacity without buying anything, which would be nice, but I'm pretty sure now that the current RAM is RDIMMs and the spare RAM is UDIMMs, and the machine can't have mixed DIMM types, so that's that. Someday I might grab 24ร—32GB off ebay and max this server out with 768GB total (or maybe cheap out and go to 24ร—16GB for 384GB total), butโ€ฆ not today!

โ€˜The #Greens in England and Wales have more than 100,000 members for the first time, the party has announced, a near-50% rise since Zack #Polanski took over as leader last month.

It puts them on a potential course to overtake the #Tories and comes little more than a week after the Greens announced they had moved past the #LibDems in membership numberโ€™

โ€˜The #Greensโ€™ surge has caused worries among some senior #Labour figures, who believe it could take votes and seats from the party in next Mayโ€™s local elections in England, particularly in some London boroughs.โ€™

Maybe if #Starmer actually implemented some of his manifesto promises, stood up to rightwing autocrats and tech bros rather than invite them into the heart of government and stopped creating the system architecture to enable fascism to thrive come 2029, then heโ€™d have a claim to votes.

Jna๐Ÿ’š mastodon (AP)
labour has shafted children, old people as well as telling the dissatisfied to go. Now they are worried about votes? It is a bit late. Ex labour members have found somewhere to go! The Greens have hit 105 000 members! Me, I love a bit of schadenfreude!
