One day, the Epstein files will escape into public view. When that happens, all of today's meltdown and super-stupido-distraction and looting will seem tiny in comparison. No? https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-7-2026
The first camps were all shells of industry... an Oranienburg brewery, an Osthofen paper factory, a Kemna cotton mill, a Bremen freighter. Walled, empty, cheap to hold, already idle. The "blocked" American data center fits the type exactly.
Every time someone says "but there isn't enough water and power", my mind goes to Nazi labor camps withholding water and power. And then people campaigning for the data centers say it is "for the jobs", when an actual finished data center is maybe a couple dozen dead-end roles.
Look at those falling wage share and acute shortage headlines, look at labor camps in Nazi Germany.

Haciendo un paneito en la onda corta, en la banda de 31m hay un programa que no la llegué a agarrar, pero figura en la lista. "World's Last Chance" transmitida por la WBCQ, el programa es de una misa ultra-conservadora y terraplanista aparentemente. Increíble que hasta los fachos más fantasmas de todos, puedan meter una emisión de onda corta y medios más en serio, no lo hagan o lo hayan abandonado. En la página de la radio que ofrece el servicio de transmitir el programa, https://www.wbcq.com/, dice que cobran 50 dolares por hora y salen con 500kW #terraplanistas #WCBQ #radio #ondacorta #shortwave
Friends, you may have seen this but if not, sharing:
"The LLM-generated proof hinges on a particular mathematical argument that it presented as its own but that actually first appeared in a 2016 paper by Miller and a collaborator."
For the first time, littleFedi will be shown publicly
And I have to say, this makes me very happy. :)
A pre-release build will be running on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W at Berlin FediDay, where people will be able to see it, try it, play with it, and probably abuse it a little too.
Unfortunately I won't be there in person, because I'll be at EuroBSDCon that same weekend.
But really, what better place than FediDay for the first public appearance of littleFedi?
A huge thanks to @vortex@tldr.nettime.org - Adam - for taking this on, building the demo, testing it independently, and agreeing to respect the temporary source embargo while we complete the last checks before the public release.
I'm especially curious to see how littleFedi behaves once it's in the hands of people who didn't build it.
This is exactly the kind of test I was hoping for.

The founders of both came from the Technolibertarian movement in San Francisco.

Just published "NetBSD 11 from scratch". I had a lot of fun writing it while diving into the internals of this great operating system. Hope you enjoy it and find it useful.
Happy hacking! 👇

There are now more folks over age 65 than younger folks, for the first time in history (and probably pre-history).

@arandelas@mastodon.uy Ontem choveu muito e revelou coisas sob a terra das sarjetas, alem elas várias outras, incluindo uma moeda e um pedal de motocicleta, ao todo, 600 gramas metal que vão para a coleta seletiva de recicláveis.
@alfiekohn@sciences.social That’s exactly what I remembered when I read the news about this ridiculous arc.
@glassnerves@mastodon.sdf.org I like NetBSD since I installed it on old sparc1+ Sun's ages ago. It is a great and consistent operating system.
Am I missing out on anything here ?

"The U.N. General Assembly has overwhelmingly backed a resolution aimed at changing the way Africa and other regions are represented on world maps.
The "Correct the Map" resolution, introduced by Togo on behalf of the African Group and supported by the African Union, was adopted on Friday by 164 votes to one, with 6 countries abstaining.
The United States was the only country to vote against it."

Hey kids! It's the start of the Fall semester, and I'm again teaching "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment".
The syllabus and all course materials including all code examples are available here:
