I did manage to get back to Malaga Cove over the weekend, and the creek has got quite a bit more water flowing through it! And presumably, someone cleared out some of the underbrush before the rains kick-started the winter greenery.

the only two I really wanted were the Last of Us games and maybe Days Gone. Hopefully they won't take them away now that they are released

We don’t overclock or overvolt or play other teen games with our hardware.


What is a “teen game”? Am I too old or too young to understand this?




The cost of data center infrastructures powering AI and the people paying the price

The Environmental Reporting Collective (ERC) supports nearly 40 journalists working on how the energy and resource constraints in traditional tech hubs are forcing companies to look beyond the U.S. and China, pushing into countries with weaker environmental regulations and less public oversight:

"...sensitive and personal footage captured by [Meta Smart Glasses]—including people going to the bathroom, getting dressed, and having sex—is being reviewed by contractors who see all of it uncensored."

has anyone seen signs posted by private business banning them in establishments yet? If not, it’s a trend I’d love to see.

There is a campaign for just that by @fight if any looking to make it easy to put up signs

Ubuntu and Fedora devs comment on California's new Digital Age Assurance Act gamingonlinux.com/2026/03/ubun…

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

It makes more sense to me for this to be done at the DE level in user space instead of at the OS level because of all the use cases that lay outside of personal use.
Containers and VMs get created and destroyed every second and it makes no sense to have to configure each and every one of them for age requirements.
And that's just one use case I can think up, I'm sure there's others like dev environments, toolboxes etc.

Please, would you consider prioritizing this issue? It has been a highly requested feature for #Nextcloud Task for around 8 years, a volunteer contributor worked on it in Jan/Feb, sent in a pull request, polished it as requested and from what I understand it needs a code review before going to alpha stage...

github.com/nextcloud/tasks/pul…

in reply to Sarah

hi there! thank you for bumping this. GitHub is already the best place to connect to our engineers about the requests. We will look into it as soon as there's capacity.

I will never understand why a single command needs a 5 minute video.

maybe you have to setup retention of the journal.


sharing a few more of these shots as I just finished up the batch. what made this special to me is that it was another shoot I pitched and got to create very close to what I had envisioned. I've got a few more ideas in my head for upcoming projects and so I'm feeling encouraged

i've been trying to optimise some code for two hours now, entirely unsuccessfully. the naïve version generates a massive pile of movs and jmps, and i assumed i could do better. no matter what i did, i could only make the code slower. the few times i managed to make one benchmark 10% faster, the others became 50% slower.

finally, i received some very wise advice from my wife. this has helped me put things into a new perspective
