Zero, the mathematician snep, carrying classic light reading for knowledge under one arm, today itโ€™s a volume on the Theory of Dimensions, Finite and Infinite.

Painting for Zero, the snow leopard.
Traditional. Acrylics.

I recorded a process video but I didn't notice the app run out of memory and it stopped recording at some point, so the video sadly is not complete, but it has most of the process of the painting, so I edited and shared it anyway. You can watch it on the first comment of this submission on my Telegram art channel: https://t.me/panda_paco

And you can find a slightly longer video as exclusive on Patreon and Ko-Fi for supporters, same as full resolution versions and more drawings that I haven't posted yet. You can check them out at supporting me on:

I had a lot of fun at MAGWest! Bay area furs are sleeping on this con.

I had lots of positive interactions in suit, people brought great energy in general, and there was lots of impromptu live music, stage shows, and a huge game room!

Someday I'm going to make a film and instead of actual sound effects, I'm going to use clips of the Foley artist speaking the intros on the SFX tapes.

Like, you'll see a guy wading in a river and getting attacked by an alligator, and he'll open his mouth, but instead of a scream you'll hear a guy saying "Man getting bit by an alligator and he screams."

@Zordrak You and me both. We gained a lot of tech, but something of value was definitely lost. And I don't know if there's really any way for us to ever get it back again.

โ€˜Hot homes are dangerous for health; cardiovascular and respiratory issues, sleep disturbance, mental health problems and heat exhaustion all correlate with high temperatures in the home.

Health risks spike when temperatures inside are above 25C, and there is a link between overheating homes and the risk of death, particularly for elderly people.โ€™

Absolutely this. UK is on the back foot on building for climate change and retrofit has been slowly gaining pace after the industry was decimated by the Tories when Cameron started spouting nonsense like โ€˜cut the green crapโ€™ to appease his austerity loving chancellor Osborne.

Would argue that climatewise south coast and East Anglia in the UK are not that dissimilar to northern France, but approaches to shade for properties very different.

as a fan of ThinkPads, it's funny to me that the machines I have once cost thousands of dollars when brand new and we're only intended for business use. Now I'm using my (25 USD each) T42 and T420 as my main Win98SE and WinXP machines, respectively.

One of the things that pisses me off most about today's "AI" hype is that I grew up loving symbolic AI. That's the kind of AI that flourished before a big "AI Winter" killed off funding and research. It was based on the idea that you could fill a computer with facts, rules about how to operate on those facts, and build expert systems that could reason about things like a human would. It was promising! But all that's out the window now, LLMs sucked all the air out of the room.

There is a new short domain name for #PuTTY!

https://putty.software/

At present, this is just a "landing page": a nice short name to remember, which will redirect you to the full PuTTY website at the same longer URL where it's always been.

But unlike putty.org or other third-party landing pages, this one is run by us, the actual PuTTY team, and it doesn't have a weird separate agenda of its own.

I intend to move the main PuTTY site over to that domain in the future, and leave just a redirector at the old location. But first I want to get the word out, so that people know which site to trust.

If anyone is still linking to putty.org, here's a place to link to instead. Please spread the word!

I wonder what Simon means by weird agenda.

*goes to putty.org

Wow, ok... at least they say not affiliated with the software but... yeah that's something special all right.

Good luck with getting the news out about https://putty.software/

Paco Panda mastodon (AP)

There was a time when portraits were reserved for nobility, a way to be remembered, to say "this is who I was"
Now, we paint fursonas. Not out of vanity, but as a quiet declaration:
"This is how I feel inside. This is the version of me that Iโ€™d like to be remembered"
Maybe! But anyway I've been enjoying a lot painting portraits with acrylics, I would like to try oil painting once again.

A small portrait of Samar the Bun.

Improving Geographical Resilience For Distributed Open Source Teams with FREON

In a recent blog post, I laid out the argument that, if you have securely implemented end-to-end encryption in your software, then the jurisdiction where your ciphertext is stored is almost irrelevant. Where jurisdiction does come into play, unfortunately, is where your software is developed and whether or not the local government will employ rubber-hose cryptanalysis to backdoor yourโ€ฆ

Something important to remember for folks that are living in areas effected by the new age verification laws in the UK, and are turning to VPN's to get around them.

Many free VPN's collect and sell data on their users. This is how they sustain their operation.

Be very careful which VPN's you use. Do your research. And remember if you're not paying for it with money, you're probably paying for it with your personal data. And that basically defeats the purpose of a VPN in the first place.

Mandrake ๐ŸŽ mastodon (AP)
I did some research into trustworthy VPNs with free plans and found two options: ProtonVPN has a free tier but you can't choose which out of the five servers it will automatically connect you to (USA, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Japan). TunnelBear offers 2GB of free data per month, but otherwise has no restrictions.

Honestly, you could have stopped with "why would I want a realistic Gaussian-splatted VR avatar of my actual body" I know I wouldn't want one of mine, and don't think I know anyone who'd want theirs either. VR is a playground so why wouldn't I play in it?
