I understand the symbolism behind turning your image black. I have to admit I look for the account with an attached image in order to determine which one is in use.

THIS is worth noting:
"Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. Itโs a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts.
"The more detainees, the more money they make. It stands to reason that these companies have no incentive to release people quickly. What I had experienced was finally starting to make sense."

shred, wipe, et al just won't work on SSDs because of how they function. the best you can do is a tool called blkdiscard which will politely ask the SSD to wipe the file. failing that, you have to wipe the entire SSD

It struck me the other day that there is probably more variation and diversity among different usersโ Emacs configurations than among the configurations of any other editor. Users are able to change almost any aspect of the way that Emacs functions, with easy access to clear documentation explaining how it works right now, and how you can change it. This means that each instance of Emacs ends up a unique shape, like an old tool with a wooden handle worn down into the shape of its ownersโ habitual grasp. That simile doesnโt quite work, because Emacs users work hard and deliberately to shape their Emacs tools to fit their needs, so it is more than just passive wear.

Saw something new at work today. Today's job was a migration from one data center to another and the client has these REALLY tall 52U racks.
Our job was to move these 8 foot racks through normal-sized doors. Which is impossible; these racks weigh over 2000 pounds, and humans aren't tipping that by hand unless you want one less human than you started with.
Our welder made a server tilt machine for the job, and it was really cool to see it in action.
