Yesterday was an important anniversary that supporters of #Russia (Soviet Union) do not like to remember:
September 17, 1939 was the day when the Soviets enthusiastically joined the Second World War, on the side of their ally - Nazi Germany.
That's why in Russia they don't like to talk about the Second World War, which they helped start.They prefer to talk about the Patriotic War, that is, the events after they were betrayed and attacked by their former ally.

Also, I've been reading up on the history of the first digital computers (ENIAC, etc.). It sure seems like females had a big impact, although little credit. And yet there's Adm Hopper, who was a leader from nearly the beginning, and had great influence on the field. In her NSA lecture, she mentioned that she hired young people and told them to "try it!" instead of waiting for approval.
Why she's not more central to the history is a mystery. But a great role model.

Announcement: Firefish will enter maintenance mode
For those who have been supporting Firefish and me, I can’t thank you enough. But today, I have to make an announcement of my very difficult decision: As of today’s release, Firefish will enter maintenance mode and reach end-of-support at the end of the year. The main reasons for this are as follows.
In February, Kainoa suddenly transferred the ownership of Firefish to me. This transition came without prior notice, which took me aback. I still wish Kainoa had consulted with me in advance. At that time, some people were already saying that “Firefish is coming back”, making it challenging to address the situation. Also, since there were several hundred active Firefish servers at that point, I could not suddenly discontinue the project, so I took over the project unwillingly.
Over the past seven months, I have been maintaining Firefish alone. All other former maintainers have left, leaving me solely responsible for managing issues, reviewing merge requests, testing, and releasing new versions. This situation has had a significant impact on my personal life.
Frankly speaking, there are numerous bugs and questionable logic in the current Firefish codebase. While I attempted to fix them, balancing this work with my personal life made it clear that it would take ages, and I’ve started thinking that I can’t manage this project in the long run. Additionally, vulnerabilities have been reported approximately once a month. Addressing vulnerabilities, communicating privately with reporters, and testing fixes have proven overwhelming and unsustainable. Moreover, a certain percentage of users have made insulting comments, which have severely affected my mental well-being and made me fearful of opening social media apps.
I will do my best to refund the donations made to Firefish via OpenCollective, but that’s not guaranteed.
firefish.dev and info.firefish.dev will remain operational until the end of February 2025, after which they will return a 410 Gone status.
Server admins may downgrade Firefish to version 20240206/1.0.5-rc and migrate to another *key variant, or may fork Firefish to maintain.

These days the internet is filled with so called "money gurus" showing off their wealth on social media and trying to teach you how to become rich
But one major issue with that is..
WHY would they wanna do that. IF they are rich from forex trading or whatever, why in the world would they wanna spread the word
They are making money on people who buy their "courses" to become rich, not from trading
Please, don't fall for this bs!
You are worth so much more 
One of the most exciting aspects of the new Bus Pirate is how easy it is to create add-on modules -- which the community have started calling "planks" to go along with the Pirate theme.

<- I rather like this. I bet that behind the scenes it's nowhere near as simple as it looks, though.
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...
@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.
oh my bad I didn't know someone was in there. sorry not sorry
