Seems I can fit almost as much on my #DIY #Bike cart, an aluminum folding ladder with wheels attached and lots of bike tubes.

Totally made it all of the way out of the parking lot... and even several miles home!

These were twelve foot and eight foot two-by-fours...

@vagrantc Nice! But, what's the frame for? Couldn't there just be the rear part that you lash to the lumber, and the hitch that you lash to the other end of the lumber?
Vagrant Cascadian mastodon (AP)

@jwb
Leveraging the #Hypotenuse keeps it shorter ... and the wheels and lumber ... started at separate locations!

A frame also allows for hauling things that would not have any hope of being self-supporting ...

Though I have strapped wheels to a canoe before as a self-supporting bike trailer...

@opny721 Why do there have to be dozens and dozens of mounts of some random kernel-provided file system, shown at the same importance as actual disks?

In this example, df could provide some sort of information architecture to separate out the cruft from the "important" mounts.

Regalo lucidatrice marca hoover

Non ho molti dettagli, il cavo elettrico sembra risalire se non a questo secolo almeno alla fine del secolo scorso, quindi credo abbia discrete probabilità di funzionare ancora (e non prendere fuoco appena la si attacca alla corrente :) ).

Ci sono anche un po' di spazzole.

Le mie ambizioni piccoloborghesi non sono al livello da voler lucidare regolarmente i pavimenti :D

Se nessuno esprime interesse, al prossimo giro finisce in discarica.

Does Logitech understand how often I wear out the actual hardware of my mouse? Do they really think they want to be in charge of maintaining that forever?

@TerryHancock Maybe. Meanwhile, I have a $200 #DasKeyboard Professional 6 that I've already had to RMA once and I can't get firmware updates on even though it "supports #Linux".

I wonder if these spiders have considered writing MIDI tunes?

I must not reply. Replying is the mind-killer. Replying is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face the bad take. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the take has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

musl libc mastodon (AP)

OpenSSH sshd on musl-based systems is not vulnerable to RCE via CVE-2024-6387 (regreSSHion).

This is because we do not use localtime in log timestamps and do not use dynamic allocation (because it could fail under memory pressure) for printf formatting.

While the sshd bug is UB (AS-unsafe syslog call from signal context), very deliberate decisions we made for other good reasons reduced the potential impact to deadlock taking a lock.

“Q: Is GPT-5 faster?
A: Its predecessors already produce hundreds or even thousands of words almost instantaneously. Now GPT-5 brings PhD writing skills to the table, meaning it can generate text at a rate of about ten words per day. (This does not include the romance novel it’s writing on the side, online searches for “ADHD self-diagnosis,” or social media posts about not wanting to write.)” mcsweeneys.net/articles/chatgp… #phd #gpt

I have just learned something very important!!!

Via @tedmielczarek @natevw I have learned that the Apple // character set is preserved in Unicode (Except not the Apple logo, which is trademarked— this is in the PUA as , but that is not Unicode. But everything else).

Which means!!! The cute little running guy in the hidden characters!! Is in!!!

🮲🮳

So, if you are on Windows 10 or a modern Apple product, above you see two boxes

But, fricking inexplicably!!!
On Linux!!!
It actually displays!!!

which shows that on my system (debian testing) that character is available in unifont and noto sans

This is an unbelievable self-own.

“Of course it’s not a bug to delete your home directory when deleting tmp files. Idiot. Moron.”

“Look someone did weird stuff with our tool, and there’s absolutely nothing we are willing to do to make that not result in catastrophic data loss.

What’s that? Oh, yeah, no, it would be trivial to stop this horrific mistake.

We just won’t.”

A friend of mine joked when this came to light the other day that we should start the timer to see how long it would be before some SystemD person came out and said that was expected behavior and you're an idiot for using it wrong. And we laughed to ourselves, wouldn't that would be funny, that really is the reputation they have now isn't it.

Well, jokes on us, because that's the first fucking comment on the bug.

You may enjoy my summary:

theregister.com/2024/06/20/sys…

The author of the "U R DOIN IT WRONG" response is the same shining wit who described systemd v256 as "now with 42% less Unix philosophy".

It was funny, but arrogant. These guys' arrogance deserves to be taken down multiple notches, IMHO. And the Wayland and Flatpak squads' too.
