Sinopsis:

Bran tuvo una adolescencia complicada, y su vida adulta no es mejor. Una sucesión de pérdidas familiares, una gran cicatriz en la cara y sus circunstancias personales han forjado en ella una personalidad esquiva.

Y como si fuera una maldición añadida, la protagonista hereda y debe hacerse cargo de una casa familiar, epicentro de buena parte de las desgracias que se abatieron sobre sus seres queridos.

Una visita a la enmohecida y arruinada vivienda, ubicada en un pequeño pueblo madrileño, sumergirá a Bran en una travesía angustiante por túneles oscuros, estancias claustrofóbicas y seres terroríficos.

Article titled “The Journey to Get Llama Running on Vintage Hardware”:

The project, led by Andrej Karpathy and his team at EXO Labs, started with a Windows 98 Pentium Il machine they purchased for £118.88 on eBay. The first hurdle was making the machine work with modern peripherals. The machine had no USB ports, so they had to use PS/2 peripherals.

The first hurdle was making the machine work with modern peripherals. The machine had no USB ports, so they had to use PS/2 peripherals.

Even more challenging, the mouse and keyboard had to be connected to specific ports—mouse in port 1 and keyboard in port 2, otherwise the setup wouldn't work.
Despite these issues, the team persevered, and the machine began to take shape as a functional unit for their experiment.

It is well documented that for every minute that you exercise, you add one minute to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $5000 per month.

                  I also have an Acer Aspire One, manufactured in 2007, IIRC. A friend gave it to me, as it was getting dust in a closet. I love this little vermin. Extremely portable and cute, with a surprisingly acceptable keyboard. It's the one where I write my fiction in when I'm out there writing in parks, cafes or writer meetings.

                  I just had to replace the battery. I bought a rather bulky one, but it lasts like a million years of mostly text-only work.

                        In 1861 a guy named Semmelweis published the findings from a study he performed. He required medical students and doctors to wash their hands in chlorinated water before attending delivery of babies. The mortality rate of women cared for by these providers dropped from 18% to 2%.

                        His theory of transmissible disease carried on the hands of doctors was dismissed by colleagues. He was comitted to an asylum, beaten by the guards, and died of sepsis weeks later.

                                      These fellows are cute ones. A friend of mine, of italian origin, called it a Tarantola or Tarentola when he saw one, if I recall correctly (which surprised me, because in Spanish, a Tarántula, sounding very similarly, is a very different kind of creature).

                                      In Spanish these insectivorous geckos are called Salamanquesas or Saltarrostros (which means "jump to the face", which is an activity they are famous for not doing). It's said that they bring good luck.

                                              A few days ago my Mom and sis started getting email bounces for me. They are both on iCloud. I got a look at one of the bounce messages today - Apple is interpreting my graylist 421 temp fail status code as a permanent failure.

                                              The problem showed up now because Apple started using a new netblock. I had the old block whitelisted so graylisting didn't get invoked. Whitelisting the new block fixes it for now, until they change addresses again.

                                              But really, Apple should OBEY THE FUCKING RFC.

                                                  A Burger King is a sample of this uncertain and undescribable world we live in these days.

                                                  Me: huh, I don't remember logging out of my session on the kids' laptop…oh, right, I did a `doas sysupgrade`, it did the upgrade, rebooted into 7.7, and returned uneventfully to the login screen without requiring any additional intervention or thought.

                                                  There's something wonderful about an upgrade-process so boring that you can accidentally forget you did it.

                                                    Maybe you want a copy of all your honks sent somewhere else. Maybe another network. This is ridiculous, because what else is there, but nevertheless. There's a new user option to set a trigger URL.

                                                    When set, whenever you honk a honk, it gets POSTed in JSON to the trigger URL. It's not the ActivityPub representation, but the internal format. If you want the AP, just follow yourself. It's basically a push version of the existing API.

                                                                                              My request (the email is authentic 🙂 ) is related to the fact that, as clearly specified in the rules and as you can see from other users' posts, the spirit of the Café is positive and constructive. The objective of this instance is to bring positivity and relaxation to everyone. This doesn't mean publishing only technical and BSD-centric content, but maintaining the relaxed, positive, and welcoming spirit of a Cafe. The reason I wrote to you is that, out of 35 posts and boosts you made in the first hours after signing up, none had the slightest technical relevance. A sharing of a nice photo (appreciated!) but, for the rest, only political issues. Whether what you published is agreeable or not is not the point. There is no ideological question behind it. We have users who occasionally publish political content or content of any other kind. But if in a few hours I see 34 out of 35 contents completely off-topic from a newly registered user (therefore totally unknown to me), I have some doubts about the purpose of the account as I don't want BSD Cafe to become a political sounding board, losing the current atmosphere, peacefully maintained by 418 users.
                                                                                              Sorry for being long-winded, but I wanted to clarify. All of this is clearly defined in the rules that are presented when creating an account.
                                                                                              PS: Thanks for publishing the lyrics of one of my favorite Beatles songs!

Repository, Commit, etc. And of course updated #honk as well. So now you can follow the honk repo from within honk itself and see all the commits fly by. Still a work in progress, but it’s live now.

I also wished Tears for Fears to be up in the list, being one of my favourite bands. I even never heard the song by The Pogues before (but I'm from Spain, and I know this was from the UK top lists). And, honestly, I'm also surprised Fast Car to be that up (not bad, but fourth?).

                                                                                                                                                        Descubierto por los romanos, este pozo expulsa 300 litros de agua por segundo (y hasta 3 mil durante los días de lluvia) que han abastecido a la ciudad desde hace muchos años. Se surte de la lluvia, pero también de ríos cercanos como el Laigne, y filtraciones de la piedra. Los celtas lo consideraron una fuente sagrada, y los franceses, que no veían el misterio, como un simple lavadero, o piscina pública. En 1758 se construyó la cubierta circular que perdura hasta hoy, y que le otorga su peculiar aspecto. Y aunque se sabe que el agua proviene de cuevas subterráneas de piedra caliza, hasta hoy nadie ha podido encontrar su nacimiento. Desde los años 70 del pasado siglo se han llevado a cabo expediciones para dar con su origen, pero todos los intentos han quedado en fracaso debido a la estructura subterránea, de estrechos pasillos. Algunos buceadores han perdido incluso la vida intentando salir. Tras la última muerte en 1996, la localidad prohibió las exploraciones, por lo que solo se conocen sus primeros 370 metros de profundidad.

                                                                                                                                                        Como todo misterio que se precie, sobre el pozo pesan varias leyendas que guardan relación con basiliscos, santos, y hasta con los abismos del infierno.

                                                                                                                                                                  I humbly disagree on your view. Meta may be an unstoppable juggernaut by now, but it's "just" an enterprise. Companies come and go, usually due to mechanics that us from outside of the fence are unable to understand nor envision. When the inside powers-that-be decide that it's no longer profitable or useful for their political manipulation, money laundering and power exertion, they will shut all of it down, drop the key and never look back.

                                                                                                                                                                  And Meta is not alone: companies live in an outer existence plain, where they devour each other, bound to laws unfathomable by the plain human. We just cannot know which one will devour which one, they are like eldritch abominations, Lovecraftian beings with their own rules, that ignore even the existence of mankind.

                                                                                                                                                                  We the humans, miles below their behemoth space, can and do build different, small, interconnected worlds, where we share our little pleasures and anxieties and interests. This space, due to passion, will endure. I cannot say if this will be the Web, the Fediverse, or a totally different thing; I'm just an ignorant observer. But, in my opinion, companies will come and go, but we, the unwashed masses, will abide, sharing our little things with our beloved ones using our weak communication channels.
