Debian turned 32 today! 🎉

💡 The Debian project was officially founded on August 16, 1993, by Ian Murdock. This day is also known as Debian Day.

The word "Debian" was formed as a portmanteau of the first names of himself and his then-girlfriend (later ex-wife) Debra Lynn.


There is a new short domain name for #PuTTY!

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!

it's not so much choose carefully in the supermarket to avoid palm oil but to try to cook fresh and eat using more local produce. It takes time to learn easy fast cooking but it can be done.

More power to them. State and local governments offer our best chance of resistance, IMO.
in reply to Joseph Teller

I've often said that the city I live in is on the front lines of the battles against Trump, and this article kinda shows it from the legal battle side of things. There also isn't a week that goes by without protests, petition drives, and passive resistance against Trump going on.

The question front and center is how long can the city keep up the funding to manage this side of the fight. I often think that the entire Trump Administration is a long con that went on too long and the authority grab is in hopes of preventing them all from getting caught as they bankrupt America into offshore accounts.

Ironic, as a bug with Steam Input on Windows that they introduced a few weeks ago (and supposedly fixed with this latest update) was what drove me to adopting Linux as a daily driver.

The rakali (Hydromys chrysogaster) is Australia's largest rodent. They eat shellfish, fish and other aquatic animals.

But they've also figured out how to eat toxic cane toads safely. They make an incision into the stomach, then remove and eat the heart and liver.

Cute, or what?

They have also just topped a poll for “Australia’s favourite underrated native animal”:

Thanks a lot! BTW it's not the first update having this issue for me. I just thought that probably many instances are updating in the first few days after release, but now it seems this is a recurring problem...

Nevertheless - many thanks for your good work, Team Nextcloud!

Watch: Every angle of largest cooling tower collapse

Landmark cooling towers at a decommissioned power station in Nottinghamshire have been demolished.

Contractors said the flattening of the eight 114m (375ft) structures at Cottam Power Station was the largest simultaneous demolition of cooling towers ever carried out.

The coal-fired complex, opened in 1968, was capable of generating enough electricity for 3.7 million homes and was originally only designed to be operational for 30 years, but its life was extended to 2019, when it closed for good.

The operation, which took place on Thursday, was the ninth demolition event at the EDF-owned site as part of a phased clearance.

This. Why aren't we legislating more computing regulations?

Cognitive warfare: why wars without bombs or bullets are a legal blind spot


"During COVID, false information led to deaths when people refused protective measures or used harmful remedies to treat it. Some narratives during the pandemic were driven as part of a geopolitical battle. While the US engaged in covert information operations, Russian and Chinese state-linked actors coordinated campaigns that used AI-generated social media personas and microtargeting to shape opinions at the level of communities and individuals..."

"The use of increasingly sophisticated tactics and technologies to manipulate cognition and emotion poses one of the most insidious threats to human autonomy in our time. Only by adapting our legal frameworks to this challenge can we foster societal resilience and equip future generations to confront the crises and conflicts of tomorrow."
