Comprar LA ATALAYA RECORTADA CONTRA EL CIELO (editorial Libros del Futuro)

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.

Waiter: Good Evening sir, would you like to hear the specials?

Customer: Yes , please .

Waiter: THIS TOWN (tow-own) IS COMING LIKE A GHOST TOWN.

I'm starting a car rental business. I take cars that are parked on the street and rent them out.

Asking for consent would kill my business.

Chunda chunda. Felices matemáticas para todos.

BULO. Otra vez el BULO del ahorro fiscal "a cada madrileño".

Es mentira. Para sacar esa cifra hacen la MEDIA, sumando los 1.259 millones que se ahorran 22.185 altos patrimonios en una año (53.000€ en un solo año) y lo suman al 0,5% del IRPF que se ahorra un currito y sacan la media.

Publicidad de Ayuso a OkDiario solo en 2023: 416.602€

Buon giorno!

Higher wages

Alt...

Lefty cartoon by B Deutsch and F Young patreon.com/barry  CEO walking down the street talking on his cell phone: i’ve tried everything to find new workers. I’ve gone to job fairs. offered them T-shirts for applying. Guy on the street: did you offer higher wages? CEO continuing his phone call: I can’t fill these jobs. I even got the government to throw people off unemployment. nothing works. Woman on Bike: have you tried offering higher wages? CEO: i’m offering unpredictable schedules, minimal benefits, and nine dollars an hour and they still don’t want my jobs? Little girl playing hopscotch: you should offer higher wages  CEO as he passes two people on the street, holding signs that say higher wages:  i’ve tried everything they just don’t want to work. hello governor, can we arrest people for being unemployed? down at the very bottom of the comic the CEO says: i’d love to pay higher wages, but we don’t have the money. I had to get by on only a $38 million salary this year! 

@madamada Yes, it will be live streamed. This is my intervention and its schedule: https://indico.bsdcan.org/event/5/contributions/123/

I just learned, via a mutual, that cron, the job-scheduling command-line utility, is celebrating 50 years this month.

I used to think ChatGPT was a threat to lawyers. So far, it's been great.

I'm dealing with an opposing party who's clearly using it to answer pre-litigation emails. They're very arrogantly giving me 100% wrong legal takes to justify their actions - and all in writing!

Easiest case ever. And fun!

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.

The law only ever serves capitalism.

Hoy cuento cómo se financia el pseudomedio donde trabaja el Bertrand Ndongo.

Además he comparado lo que se lleva Periodista Digital con lo que se llevan El Salto y elDiario.es.

También he mirado cuánto supone esa inyección en su facturación.

@tux0r @samurro it is. But I can't force people to perform updates on their machines.
To be honest, this is totally protected from the lan. The only reacheable port is the 8007 (Proxmox Backup Server). btrfs performs snapshots of all the file systems at regular intervals.
While it's not great, the threat level of this (secondary) backup server is quite low.

@arosano @4somecurious Users are deleting tons of files by mistakes. I think there's a problem - I'd replace the file server with a Samba server, zfs snapshot each hour and so, but they insist on using Windows for this, so...

A group of crows are gathered and chatting. "Thanks for comic everyone! Who'd like to start? Alessandro?" "Sure!" says Alessandro "For this week's flower share I brought an apple blossom! Delicate, simple in form, modest and subtly charming". They are all admiring the flower at Alessandro's feet. "Pretty" says one. "Beautiful specimen!" continues the first crow, "One of my favourites. Thank you for sharing! Who'd like to go nex–" they are interrupted by a loud clearing of a throat. "AHEM". The group of crows looks up to see another crow, perched on a branch nearby. It swoops down, something in its talons. It lands the the middle of the group in a dramatic way, to reveal the most perfect example of a magnolia flower. The group stares in an entranced silence. The strange crow declares "I didn't prepare a speech".

@pkw copy the url of the post, put it in the search bar in your snac, it will load and you can interact with it.

Bane of the javascriptless:

Getting around anubis'd websites in (not just) links2.

If you enable the "Fake Firefox (improves privacy)" option in links2 (Setup - Network Options - HTTP options - Header options), links2 then pretends to be the tor browser, imitating the same headers and user-agent - this results in websites that use anubis to bully you and expecting the completion of some javascript challenge. If you do not enable this option, you can get around the annoying anime girl.

Presumably you could use the links2 user-agent in any other browser. I suppose this is true for lynx as well.

> Links (2.28; NetBSD 9.3 amd64; GNU C 7.5; text)

You can also use wget's user-agent, which currently lets you get past anubis as well.

> Wget/1.25.0

You can check what headers your browser is sending at https://wtfismyip.com/headers .

...

To try this in firefox - go to about:config, add `general.useragent.override' and paste in the links2 user-agent string.

silly skeleton girl who bullies ai and internet users.

Odio, detesto, me asquea recordar estas cosas. Y no puedo evitarlo. Qué rabia.

And today? The internet seems like a modern evolution of "The Game of Life." [...] The internet is now in everyone's hands, yet it belongs to no one. We no longer possess the tool; the tool (and those who control it) possesses us.

Even though I eventually edited the article to clarify that there was no organized crime involved, many comments keep insisting that, since it happened in Italy, there must be organized crime or the mafia behind it.

My workflow matches yours totally, though.

And of course, I’ve left out the worst parts of the story.

I no longer work professionally on IT, so my opinion is irrelevant here.

I even had a (known unreliable and crash-prone) RAID 6 configuration using 4 USB thumb drives that had a long life of continuous mp3 transcoding. Finally, the USB hub died, and then I decomissioned the ugly monster (it was mostly for testing).

Maybe I'm lucky (I'm not).

ZFS [...] on one hand, I saw it as a "betrayal" of the Unix philosophy, something foreign within the base system

I've watched this several times and laughed harder each time.

Have no idea what either is saying but it's hilarious!

Ad with Pinhead cenobite with the words "Hot cenobites in you area have such sights to show you."

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.

Daily Mirror posts a photo of Princess Charlotte and the text: Princess Charlotte already speaks two languages at just two-years-old. Cole Allen responds: So do most children of immigrants but | guess it's less impressive when they're poor.

@ConspiracyOfCartographers Well, sure, Blue Sky is a billionaire-owned Nazi bar, but at least you also don't get any engagement there. At least there's that.

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.

Two new books have been announced that, embarrassingly for the authors and publishers, fail spectacularly to understand what the term "vibe coding" means.

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.

I'm here right now. Around me are rioting kids with tired-looking parents, a youngster wireless-speaking cheerly while eating, lonely men rougly of my age dressed with worn-out suits and ties munching silently, a woman that looks like she's homeless (even holding a rusty supermarket cart full of bags and unrecognizable things), two well-dressed boys shouting about the problem with immigrants (probably from an expensive private school nearby) and a stunningly beautiful girl drinking a soda that looks otherwordly out of place here (like Helen when discovered on top of Troy's battlements by the greek soldier).

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' #OpenBSD 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.
