Wow, a few of those, and you could run an AI to generate funny cat pictures. Or mine bitcoin!https://newatlas.com/energy/evinci-nuclear-microreactor/

Well now. Signal just wanted a new version installed. I didn't think too much about it, and then:

The bad one is considerably larger, and has an interesting modification date:

@tomjenningsCorrect. Got a "Signal wants to update itself, click to reload" message, clicked, authenticated, it re-launched and the OS blocked it for an invalid code signature. Went and downloaded a clean copy from the web site, and that's what the second comparison is.

More Kickstarter hijinks. This is a little like the Cards Against Humanity folks... actual previous Kickstarter successes under their belt, this is, on the one hand, ridiculous, but is also completely feasible, if people want it. And, I guess, people do:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/oceanusbrass/tankard

@afnic "This option goes by the name ADEM" Err... Not so much. That's one of many options which have been proposed, but doesn't overlap the DNSSEC/DANE implementations.

@futurebird The cable bundles are going into the top-of-rack switches, and from the top-of-rack switches into the end-of-row switches. And they look like something, so people take photos of them. But each individual server rarely has more than three (LoM and lagged data) cables going into it. So they don't look as interesting, and people don't take as many photos of them. So, observation bias.

@futurebird But, no, not going to outgrow cable bundles. That three is a magic number. What you need for out-of-band management and redundant data. And those all have to be aggregated together somewhere. And us rack-and-stackers are gonna bundle. It's in our blood.

@i Hm. The WoodyNet fedi instance is our test one, so... to some degree, follow it at your own risk. What you saw is us ingesting our archive of the outages.org mailing list and making it available through an indexed read-only fedi front-end which (intentionally) follows the WoodyNet back-end fedi server. That will give people the ability to search by keyword, as well as filter by hashtag and author, as well as the usual threaded subject-line format that you'd expect from a mailing list archive.There will be a little more tinkering, and then we'll make it available to all of the mailing lists we host, if they want to use it. Outages is probably the largest of these (in terms of subscribers) but it's relatively low-volume in terms of posts.

I see Quora has turned to the magic of AI to summarize questions. Summary above, summarized below.

@socketwench @mntmn I hadn't heard of the Reform Next, and went to check it out. I use a Framework because I need an open-source laptop... It looks like the Reform Next isn't an open-source laptop, just an open-source case design wrapped around a proprietary ARM processor. Is there a reason you aren't shipping with a RISC-V processor?

@GrapheneOS @alrs @contrapunctus I agree with @contrapunctus, this is a situation where it's better to think pragmatically about the long-term, and choose the technologically correct solution, rather than compromising in the short term, and choosing Mr. Right Now, when Mr. Right Now is a for-profit walled-garden owned by someone else, whose purpose is to monetize your users.Don't sell your users out. There's absolutely nothing you've mentioned that you want to do, for which XMPP isn't already the best technological solution. As well as the best moral solution.

I'm honestly not sure I see the use-case, beyond "because we can." It's still heavy and bulky, and it sacrifices the one really useful piece of a cargo bike: a big solid basket.https://foldride.com/en/fold-pace

Renault offers 15% retail cost cut in exchange for 10-15 year moratorium on safety requirements. Not sure what to think about that. Do we already have too many automobile safety requirements? I don't think anyone would argue that car prices are high now...but too high? And is this risk/reward sufficient?https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/renault-could-cut-prices-4-5-twingo-if-eus-e-car-class-approved

@futurebird Hm. The Photographer is definitely my favorite. And I know it's not a popular choice, but I really do like Mishima. And Passages and The Screens.

Back-story to this is that the Vietnamese government has banned new gasoline scooters as of January 1 2026, and all of them have to be off road in Hanoi by July 2026, and nationwide by 2028. That's half a million gasoline scooters to be replaced in Hanoi alone over the next half-year, so all of the Vietnamese vehicle companies are in overdrive, producing all the e-scooters and e-bikes their assembly lines can crank out. Once those assembly lines are fully up to speed and have satisfied domestic demand, they'll pose a formidable challenge to China. Which is, of course, the point.https://www.electrive.com/2025/12/08/vinfast-to-manufacture-e-scooters-and-e-buses-in-india/

This is the first time I've seen a car review which quoted the number of trillions of operations per second of computing power the car packs.Anyway, that aside, it's an excellent car at an excellent price.https://www.electrive.com/2026/01/07/xiaomi-revamps-its-debut-battery-electric-saloon-the-su7/

Not the future I voted for: the firmware for my keyboard is 266mb.EDIT: Sorry, that was the gzipped package. Unzipped it's 628mb.
