The UK buys most of their trains from Deutsche Bahn (German Rail) and just brands them differently.

I got an LLM to analyse all of my messages and e-mails from the launch of gmail to work out my writing style, it says I heavily favour em-dash's. I used to work in the industry of type settings and press and publishing. I even use — in HTML when I have to write it nowadays. em-dash is not a LLM thing. It's just most people don't know how to use it. It also said I'm wry. Go figure.

I'm at 18 years and ID 1653. It took them a while to gain traction.

As someone with the ID 1653, I've totally given up on the thing. I've even created my own rust based forge, ironically, hosted on github at the moment.

"shaping narratives", sounds like they follow the methodologies of a current president

If I'm paying, which I am, I want to have to opt-in, not opt-out, Mario Rodriguez / @mariorod needs to give his head a wobble.

What on earth are they thinking...

No, it uses LD_PRELOAD symbol interception, not binary patching.

This isn't the Rust Allocator in nightly. This is a drop-in replacement for the system's malloc implementation.

Think jemalloc, tcmalloc and mimalloc.

Ah the old Enterprise Service Bus...

Same can be said for people using LLM agents to complete jobs faster than humans ever possibly can. It's not like they just fluked it. They've learned how to harness the capabilities of the tech. Now companies are introducing this stuff as a normal workflow but they are clueless as to how it actually works and expecting 10x output from people.

A personal project I've been using for months to allow LLM agents to have task management.

Raft is a good example. And it seems to be in most models training data.

FFmpeg should just dual license at this point. If you're wanting shit fixed. You pay for it (based on usage) or GTFO. Should solve all of the current issues around this.

Matter turned into a cluster fuck of devices. Use you're android phone to provision a device and connect it to your setup, most people use Google Home or homeassistant, smartthings is also an option, maybe others. But it's only to onboard the device for the most part. It'll still connect to your WiFi, give you next to no visibility as to what's going on in a failure and no interface to control it should your controller go down.

It's also not very well supported in things like homeassistant, despite what they say.

A big thank you to the creator. Was one of my goto sites to debug IPv6 issues on random devices over the years.

Of course I have. It's nothing impressive and far from a 100% clone of the CEEFAX page. But its a start if someone wanted to take it further. I was more interested in trying out ratatui with Gemini.

There is kind of one now https://github.com/shift/ceefax-weather :D

Seems to be fixed now.

Sounds like Valve/Steam and the CS:GO gambling.

Probably the ruby that the spinning parts sit between and only need to be relubricated occasionally. I'm just going of what I've seen on service videos.

Surge pricing? I'm not sure if my remark is sarcasm or a prediction on the future.

The post man always bent our magazine and pushed it in the cat flap making the included disk useless (even though it was clearly marked "DO NOT BEND!"), so I remember having to type everything out and sometimes correct the typos introduced into the print version. Fun times.

RFC 4862 (IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration) RFC 3315 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6))

Auth forwarding[1] is normally the route. This allows you to basically zero auth your services. You can also use wireguard or tailscale[2]

Or the mitigation of someone running unsigned code on your product using an embedded pi.

Stop some ways supply chain attacks can happen.

Probably some other use cases I've not considered too.

Yes. If you have physical access, as this requires you to pull a GPIO pin down to enter the mode required for the setting on the one time programmable memory.

Documentation states: WARNING: Modifications to OTP are irreversible. Once revoke_devkey has been set it is not possible to unlock secure-boot mode or use a different private key.

This isn't possible. The docs[1] state once revoke_devkey has been set, you can't upgrade to a bootloader not supporting secure-boot and downgrading is disabled.

Possibly off topic,

I actually registered the org oci-base (https://github.com/oci-base), when Docker Inc. announced the registry fees.

In part as I've been annoyed with multiarch and docker/registry in the past.

Then to top it off the official registry has/is taking ages to support signing/attestation.

Plan is for it to be contributor driven, and RFC style requirements following best practices.

Not had much time to work on it lately, kids, Easter, etc.

It gets even more funky here in Europe... "In Germany, it is a period (.). Thus one thousand and twenty-five is displayed as 1,025 in the United States and 1.025 in Germany. In Sweden, the thousands separator is a space"[1]

hyperswitch[1] looks to be trying to work in this space.

I think your looking at this via your own sircumstatnce. I know of a lot of refugees here in Berlin who carry their life savings with them. They also need to travel for weeks if they lose paperwork. Normally back to Italy.
