We had a police officer run down a young lady in a crosswalk while responding to a non-critical call without running lights or sirens. The officer was eventually fired but only because body camera evidence from the vice president of the officers guild surfaced where he was mocking the victim.

Ended up costing seattle taxpayers $29m.

Heaven and earth had to be moved in order to get the officer off the force.

I remember playing oregon trail while studying the westward migration, I remember sitting in the classroom during lunch fiddling with turtle graphics. Either the district or the school had a turtle robot that you could hook up via serial and it would drive around on a piece of butcher paper on the floor and draw with a sharpie.

Jeff (and the board) wonders if deliveries could be more efficient, and wants to find efficiencies to report to the board and the shareholders. However it's fucking dave, 6+ layers below jeff that is firing drivers for missing unreasonably tight delivery schedules because they had to stop to take a leak. So that dave can tell suan who can tell susan who can tell .... and finally jeff that deliveries are now 2.3% faster.

I do think that enough money and therefore a higher degree of control of your own life experiences does warp your perceptions of the world, however. I fail to understand why anyone with a billion fucking dollars in the bank just doesn't retire to a beach stocked with sex workers and cocaine and instead decides to continue torturing people through layers of unthinking bureaucracy though.

Thank fuck that someone found this bug and let them and the rest of us about it so we can protect ourselves. My forgejo instance was already running on my tailnet with no public exposure but had been considering public disclosure of it for some collaborators.

There has been a lot of talk around forgejo as an alternative to github for months now. To now understand that their security posture seems to be, 'like, yaknow, whatever...' is disturbing.

I think both parties can take this opportunity to mature. I understand that Forgejo is a community project, but community projects should have standards or very explicit disclaimers when it comes to security.

0 advertisements from openai or anthropic say this. They all sell you an omnipotent god entity.

This is because the people who promote these technologies, and the companies that sell these technologies, engage in a massive amount of puffery (aka hyperbolizing aka just straight telling lies).

These technologies are painted as the magical solution to whatever problem you have (all it costs you is a few tens of thousands of tokens, aka your water supply). There is literally nothing they CAN'T do if you will just let us build these gigantic small town destroying, noise polluting, water and electricity hungry 'AI data-centers'. So that we can use those datacenters to sell you more tokens to put into their slot machines.

My old trusty readynas should still work i think.. probalby. Supports smd for time machine and smb3 generally. If it doesn't I might finally be pushed onto a nas that isn't discontinued.
