The recent CrowdStrike outage is a wake-up call: centralized services are a single point of failure. ๐ŸŒ

For true digital resilience, we must decentralize and diversify our technology. Read Nextcloud's take on this event.

pubpub.org is a vision of the future for publishing research - half-decent multi-user editing, build-in peer review (including line-by-line commentary and conference workflow), rich text (including videos etc), archival DOIs, and no need to deal with arcane LaTeX or MS Word templates or PDFs, and notionally an open source platform. It has its quirks, but I've used it for a couple of workshops/conferences and it's worked pretty well.

Sadly it's shutting down as a free platform, but excitingly, they also say they're going to make it possible to self-host it. I really hope that's going to work out. I'd be happy never compiling a PDF, or using 'easychair' 'microsoft cmt' or 'hotcrp' again, that's for sure.

I'm surprised I didn't catch this song by Garfunkel & Oates when it first came out a number of months ago. I once even attended one of their concerts in Melbourne!

Great lyrics! Great tune!

"But as it turns out, the parents most likely to apply for these vouchers are the ones who were already sending their kids to private school or homeschooling. They use the dollars to subsidize what they were already paying for."

I really want to know why Valve even has the SteamOS page online anymore, since there isn't an official release for generic hardware version of the SteamDeck OS, this page still links to the old Debian 8 Jessie version store.steampowered.com/steamos
in reply to Brodie Robertson

all download links redirect to Steam Deck Image, So it's basically impossible for any noobs to download something completely outdated.

They definitely still should update it.

I guess the Dem elite got what they wanted. No plan, no nominee, and utter chaos. Great for news ratings, but pretty bad while weโ€™re trying to fight the other party who is absolutely united behind the fascism at our door.



#Potatoes Are the Perfect #Vegetableโ€”but Youโ€™re Eating Them Wrong
Humble #potato is a miraculous vegetable, but #Americans are eating less of them than ever before and have ditched fresh potatoes for frozen. Time to rebrand the spud?
Once this miraculous nutrient-dense vegetable was the fuel of human civilization. Now the spud is become synonymous with a garbage, industrialized food system that pours profits into a handful of companies at the expense of peopleโ€™s health.

Subsidiaries of Indonesiaโ€™s second-biggest palm oil company, PT Astra Agro Lestari (AAL), are running illegal plantations, grabbing community land, and intimidating critics, according to a new report by NGOs.

The report is a follow-up to a 2022 report by Friends of the Earth, and identifies at least 1,100 hectares(2,718 acres) of concessions that lie inside forest areas that should be off-limits to plantation activity.

"Concomitant to the unravelling of bacterial immune defence was the realisation that some antiphage systems are in fact conserved in eukaryotes [7โ€“9]. For example, cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-like enzymes, which produce cyclic dinucleotide second messengers upon pathogen detection, and viperins, which generate modified nucleotides blocking viral replication, protect bacteria and humans alike. Contrary to the conceptual framework of clade-specific immune mechanisms, a fraction of immune modules (domains or proteins involved in defence) are conserved between prokaryotes and eukaryotes."
