"Small" but mighty!

Inside the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy to our Milky Way, is the star cluster NGC 376.

Seen in this #HubbleFriday view, NGC 376 is made of stars that are loosely bound together by gravity: go.nasa.gov/3BmGKoN

Some day we'll set foot on Mars. I hope I'm alive to see it

Not a bad analysis of media manipulation. My only note would be he is over harsh on Wikipedia. Sometimes the information waters are muddied on that service, but they have plenty of systems in place to correct misinformation and dysinformation. They are still a reasonable first stop for finding useful resources. Just like any encyclopedia.

Wikipedia has LOTS of checks and balances these days, and I am a supporter of their work (my wife and I made our annual financial donation to them a few weeks ago to keep the servers running etc.).

Content warning: linux scheduler hate


i do not like the linux scheduler

it's apparently so much more advanced than the plan9 one

but on plan9 you could legit execute a fork bomb and things would run fairly smoothly until you run out of procs, and even then things would only partially break.

Content warning: really weird linux bug


hey i'm pretty sure linux processes aren't supposed to be cooperatively scheduled?

i've had an issue recently where if a process enters an infinite loop which doesn't perform a syscall, the whole system just grinds to a halt and i have to do a hard reboot.

when i boot i get a message about firmware bugs and TS_DEADLINE being disabled, may be related?


fedi.9til.de/@binarycat/109481โ€ฆ



is there an actual issue with the old polyam flag besides "i don't like the colors" and "why is pi there"?

yeah you wouldn't necessarily know it was a polyam flag just by looking at it, but that's the case with most pride flags.

OBSOLETE SOUNDS

Obsolete Sounds is the worldโ€™s biggest collection of disappearing sounds and sounds that have become extinct โ€“ remixed and reimagined to create a brand new form of listening.

in reply to Muse

I have some sound effect CDs which no doubt contain some now-obsolete sounds.
in reply to Muse

Ah, yes. I had an entire stash of endless cart tapes, used for telethons, with various levels of office telephone ringing cacophony.


I think I will end up with missing files, but at least the installer continues. Damn it

some guy was like "Valve better have some damn solid servers"

I did check devtools and see that it seems like akamai was handling the stream and 403ing at the moment when the errors started coming back.

Yes, I can try and help, but everything works now, and Iโ€™m not sure if this happens on your side or mine.

I have link to diode zone in my profile and it changed to tube.simple-web.org when migrated my mastodon account about a month ago. I assumed it was related to some of the upgrades you were doing.

Does simple-web.org domain belongs to you, or is it a peer tube thing?

in reply to Alex Volkov

it's not my domain and i don't know why you would be interacting with it at all
