Another brilliant idea!
THIS is what the great John Lewis would call “GOOD TROUBLE” — Protesters in Minneapolis have reportedly been dressing up in jeans, body armor, and masks, and then walking into groups of ICE agents and accusing one or two of them of being imposters until they all start fighting each other, and then the protesters sneak away.
And now, it’s happening nationwide!

DOJ comes out to support OpenAI’s defense against massive copyright infringement.
Meaning it’s OK to steal from others as long as you’re training LLMs. Duly noted.
If OpenAI wins, someone *please*please* use this as a defense when Hollywood sues them for torrenting a movie.

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:

Fun update. They sent the bag to Nicaragua! Even though the report clearly says to send it to her hotel in Amsterdam. Supposedly it will be sent back to Europe and arrive at the hotel tomorrow morning, just in time for the wedding. We'll see.
PSA: Apparently google trains or indexes their AI on your PRIVATE Google Drive Documents:
https://www.reddit.com/r/IndieDev/comments/1vfwuf5/a_player_found_out_the_actual_name_of_my_games/
(TLDR; Indie dev had their audience ask Google highly specific questions about future content of their game, and it spat out an exact name of an upcoming enemy type. Furthermore it listed scrapped ideas and ideas that *only* existed in their *private* Google Docs.)
@Skoop hah. Well at my old age I think using these clients is great, exactly because I'm lazy. I guess that's always been the reason why. To me they're so much easier to use than a gui client.
By any chance do I know anyone, or maybe you do, who works at Iberia airlines? I've got an issue with a lost (and was found) bag but we've heard nothing for days about it and no clue when it will be returned.
We have a wedding soon and need the bag as many items for the wedding are in thr bag. Not to mention my wife's entire wardrobe haha.
If you can help, or know someone who can, please reach out to me here or email me pjs@petersanchez.com
Please boost.

Currently traveling for 6ish weeks. I always say I'll work out to keep my gainz when I travel but I never do. Maybe some home workouts but not heavy lifting. Which means when I get home I'd have lost all my progress over the previous months. fml
i will never apologize for a post
@Skoop aerc or mutt (tried and true)
When in Spain...
@drew Excellent! Thanks to the srht team for getting this out.
Had a bug earlier this month where review requests were not being sent out to customers after their appointment. Disabled the cronjob, debugged, fixed and deployed to prod.
Yesterday my manager tells me we haven't any new reviews in weeks. Guess who forgot to re-enable the cronjob?

@dave Yea, that's my worry. I haven't heard of Mitra, I'll check it out.
What if we ban computers from using kids instead?
@dave Me too actually. I think I'm gonna go with GoToSocial but I'm hesitant. So many years with honk. And now that I've resolved my biggest gripe (which was actually my fault), I may just stay. shrugs
@dave I got tired of not being able to follow someone I really wanted to so I started tracing the code (terribly named) and finally figured it out. So I checked the flag in prod and sure enough, for whatever reason, I had dev enabled in production.
I'm a genius. I've had issues following random accounts for years on my honk. I finally figured out the issue. I had fk'n dev mode enabled in production and that breaks some signing callback (by design). Disabled dev mode and now it's working as expected.
sigh
Time to head to the Big Apple!
So that's why!
Today is a good day to finally #GiveUpGitHub!
& now there's YA reason: last week, #GitHub urged the FOSS community to *oppose* important #California legislation that places transparency and consumer rights requirements on deployment of LLM-gen-AI!
GitHub's tactic? Disinformation claiming #FOSS licenses are incompatible with Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §22757 and California #SB1000 (which seeks to amend §22757).

@mariusor but good acting. I was surprised how much I liked it. Also totally not what I expected going into it (I had no idea what the plot was about)

it's been a few hours let me check my email
120387921 new FreeBSD vuln emails
To those sites who send you an auth link or validation code to your email to login to accounts and also have a short timeout window (5-15 minutes) - I hate you. Some of us use greylisting to help fight spam (works great!) so far too often I am altering the whitelists on our greylisting daemon to let a short timeout email in quickly. Grrrrr!!!

@teleclimber I lived in Cerritos (near the college) for years. I loved it there and so many good spots tucked away. Amazing tofu houses! And of course Little India in Artesia was just a mile or so away so I stuffed myself there quite often too. Tacos in Hawaiian Gardens, Burgers in Long Beach, Tortas in Downey or Paramount, etc. etc. etc.
I don't hate on OC though. I mean it's not for me (to live) but plenty to love there too. Especially Little Saigon in Garden Grove. Though I think Pho Tasty in Cerritos is still my all time favorite (pho anyways). If you haven't been, it's a must.
Los Angeles will always be home
I get asked a lot how I could leave the US to live in Nicaragua. The decision to leave the US was easy. The (very) hard part was leaving Los Angeles.
