Infinitime 1.15.0 – Ribesrubrum

Almost a year has passed since the last update!

Wolfin Core

@Some_Emo_Chick Looked at this, at the moment I’m using the GL iNet routers running their own fork of OpenWRT for my travel needs. I may consider these for an eventual replacement for my home net though (running Eeros currently).

PSA: If you're reading and parsing /proc/cpuinfo for anything, you should probably stop.

The CPU information you're probably looking for is available in structured form in /sys/devices/system/cpu, no horrible text parsing required. And unlike /proc/cpuinfo, the /sys hierarchy is standardized across architectures (as much as is practical). In particular, you will not find CPU topology info in /proc/cpuinfo on non-x86 architectures.

Signed, ARM64 users who keep seeing things like "1 cpu, 1 core, 8 threads" in software written by x86 users (I'm looking at you, GeekBench).

@marcan Indeed, many years ago I added fallback implementations of the topology functions so that the information would be available on every architecture and config

y'all have been talking about how #Firefox v133 fixes a few security vulns, but have you all seen this ADORABLE new art for the no internet connection (NS_ERROR_OFFLINE) error status page on Firefox's mobile client?

about to ruin the new art for yall: there is a small white dot above the left-front paw, resulting in a single white pixel on my device... no outline, so only visible to dark mode users

Doing some software archaeology with @jimmac today, looking at webOS on the Touchpad and Palm Pre.

It's very cool to see how far ahead of its time this was, and also how many elements from it survived in GNOME in some form! And of course, the multitasking is still unmatched by any more recent mobile platform :)

@tbernard @jimmac here’s some more prototype history: the TouchPad Go and WindsorNot. I should’ve taken a picture of them next to a normal sized TouchPad. Attached is a screenshot from a YouTuber that checked them out.

@tbernard @jimmac so smooth, even on such old hardware (and so many things Apple stole… Cupertino, start your photocopiers)! 😄

So, somebody wrote a program that converts, in-place, an #NTFS volume into #btrfs.

It even keeps an image of the original NTFS volume as a file in the resulting btrfs volume. This can be used to undo the conversion or deleted to free up space and make the conversion permanent.

That is absolutely wild.

@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org Ive wanted to like #btrfs for so long but every time i use it something goes wrong and i just go back to #zfs I think i just have bad luck ​:pepe_hands:​

doskel "doskel" d. doskel the doskteenth

@argv_minus_one also think i remember seeing a project letting windows run entirely off of btrfs, meaning you could quite possibly convert a windows system to a btrfs filesystem in-place

At this point, it's obvious that if #bsky wanted to federate they would have done so by now.
They don't

the iron man 1 meme "tony stark was able to build it in a desert out of scraps" recaptioned to "Mastodon was able to federate in 2016, with ruby on rails, on a single laptop"

@noboilerplate I think it made sense for them to focus on mimicking twitter to get as many X leavers as possible but now with this many users it will be hard to focus on federation instead of establishing a reliable income stream.

Владимир :neocat_flag_gay:

@noboilerplate imho bsky is just moneymaker and nothing more. they added support to vids only this year lol

In January 2022 I discovered that #Microsoft #Office365 Message #Encryption (OME) utilized Electronic Codebook (ECB) mode of operation. I reported this, got paid a $5000 bounty and then things fell dead silent. By autumn I tried to follow up on this, and after numerous attempts to inquire about the schedule for a fix I was told that no fix was planned.

Luckily, Microsoft seems to have changed their mind about this, and the fix was applied in late 2023, after all:

ЦБ разослал банковским учреждениям обязательную к выполнению рекомендацию в инициативным порядке «скорректировать отображаемый курс инвалют во избежание панических настроений в обществе».

На табло обменных пунктов и на сайтах банков предложено указывать «обменный курс за часть единицы инвалюты». К примеру, можно отображать, сколько рублей стоят 90 американских центов, отметив такой курс звёздочкой и по желанию разместив соответствующее пояснение.

Размер дробной части, взятой для отображения курса, предполагается корректировать в соответствии со «справедливым или прогнозируемым» курсом. По мнению экспертов, такой приём позволит «стабилизирует общественное мнение» и предотвратит панические очереди в обменниках.

У айтишников с марта 2025 не будет брони от мобилизации. Первые новости по этой теме были ещё в субботу, но я каким-то образом их не заметил. Офигеть они конечно это втихую сделали. И опять все "правила" в каких-то тайных приказах, так что никто ничего точно сказать не может.

@lyyn 🤣 Пуйлу не нужны айтишники. Требуется мясо пушечное и много. Очень много

@lyyn ее по-моему и до этого не особо было. там надо было в очень специальной конторе работать.

вся эта история какая то мутная. они в принципе и без этих изменений могут мобилизовать кого и сколько захотят. и правила могут поменять в одну ночь. зачем это все за 4 месяца публичить - неясно.

но конечно может кому то кто еще не решился свалить поможет решиться.

Григорий Клюшников

Я всё равно не понимаю, что такое эта "бронь от мобилизации", и почему она вообще как таковая всё ещё существует, если никакой мобилизации по факту нет и не предвидится.
