    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.

    En sólo unos días Feijóo ha dicho que:

    ✔️No subiría el Salaría Mínimo Interprofesional

    ✔️Subiría el gasto en defensa al 5% (subida de impuestos y recortes en gasto social)

    ✔️No reduciría la jornada máxima a 37,5 horas sin bajar el sueldo

      The reason Texas is part of the USA is that Mexico made slavery illegal.

      Remember the Alamo? A lot of white people don't know is that what the "brave" people in the Alamo were fighting for was slavery.

      That's also why it took two years after the civil war ended for enforcement of anti-slavery in Texas. (it wasn't because of slow communication, as is told in revisionist histories, it was because white people willfully defied the law).

      Freedom is always worth fighting for.

      WTF is wrong with all these people 🤦
      "Open Source software users are in fact consumers, so they have the right to demand"
      These morons may have the "right" to demand, but they also have the priviledge of being automatically ignored.
      "Developers who release open source must take responsibility for satisfying users, otherwise they'd better not release"
      This is even a bit funny 😆. Be responsible, or never release!

      And regarding you being new to this thing, well, fine, whatever.

          I love that cats that aren’t domesticated don’t meow when they grow up, but domesticated cats do because they learned humans don’t understand their natural communication, so they keep meowing beyond the kitten stage just for us. So basically cats made up a language just to talk to us. And that language is essentially baby talk.

                            Just had one of my beta readers told me, proudly, that they feed one of my novels in progress into a non-local LLM because they didn't understand where a scene came from. Readers, I can't believe I have to say this, but don't do this. I can't speak for every writer out there, but for me, I want my beta readers to actually *connect* with me through the imperfect, pantsy, chaos of my drafts. I'm letting you see the unedited bleeding onto the page. If you can't be bothered to read it, then why are you anyone's beta reader? If you don't understand something, ask! That's what being a beta reader is all about!

                            They justified it by saying well, giant LLM can spot plot holes in Romance novels better than I can.

                            If one of my freelance editors does this. I wouldn't know what to do. I don't want to pay someone for just shoving my work into an LLM. What am I even paying you for? But none of my editors have done this, yet. I'm just frustrated and I feel as if I've been betrayed, and like my beta readers don't take me seriously enough to engage in my messy, raw, unedited, texts.

                                  Cuando yo era pequeño, no sabía quién era. Lo que sí sabía era lo que todo el mundo me decía que debía ser: un buen niño judío que acabaría convirtiéndose en un buen hombre judío. Construí ese niño desde el barro con mis propias manos y le di la forma que los demás esperaban. Sobre su frente escribí אמת, verdad, deseando que viviera una verdad que yo no comprendía.

                                  Escribí uno de los nombres de Dios en un pedazo de papel, se lo metí en la boca y vivió. Durante 35 años caminó ocupando mi lugar, viviendo una existencia falsa, usando mi aliento.

                                  Cierto día ya no pude soportar la asfixia y necesité morir o recuperar mi respiración. En un momento de fuerza, borre el aleph de su cabeza, y este se desplomó. No murió tal y como mandaba la frase en su frente, porque en realidad nunca estuvo vivo.

                                  No me había dado cuenta de cuánto barro había acumulado a lo largo de los años. Qué profunda era la vergüenza, qué pesados eran los trozos de lodo seco. Mis manos, ahora heridas y sangrantes tras desmenuzar mi golem, finalmente encontraron el pedazo de papel, largamente olvidado.

                                  Y entonces vi que el nombre que había escrito era el mío propio.

                                          My current conspiracy theory: Now that has more or less destroyed the market for domain certificates and people are more interested in using client/user certificate, Google throws the market a lifeline by removing clientAuth from acceptable certificates in the browser context with some vague "it's about security" arm waving.

                                                      @stefano AI is tech cancer. Same as capitalism is societal cancer. It is a self propelling, accellerating decline machine.

                                                      In the case of AI, it speeds up climate catastrophe, supercharges exploitation for rare materials and will lead to mass deaths.

                                                      Capitalism is the same. It slows down inventions (who says different has no idea), increases waste, lowers empathy and will destroy this planet for us.

                                                      The planet doesnt give a rats ass about it but we will be dead.

                                                      Stop AI, stop capitalism.

                                                        It’s when the code looks fine, tests pass, vibes are good - so it goes to production. Even if it’s wide open to SQL injection.

                                                        I’ve seen it happen.
                                                        AI wrote it. Devs trusted it. Management loved it.
                                                        Nobody understood it.

                                                        We’re trading skill for speed.
                                                        And that’s how we lose our freedom.

                                                          Part of your job as a senior is to tell your juniors about your fuckups. The embarrassing cringe reckless and lazy bullshit that you did when you were new, and the various times you brought down Prod. We ALL did it sometime. And then tell them: the moment you realized you fucked up, I know, the impulse is to try and cover it up, but don't do it. Come to the seniors you trust, and they'll help you unfuck it, and fight management tooth and claw like mamma and pappa bears to defend you from any shitheads in management. Because that's what our seniors did to us.

                                                                  LinkGaslighting? - For several months now I’ve continued my project where every day I go back through my archives and clean up broken links in old posts. If something is broken and I can find it in the Wayback Machine (web.archive.org/), I replace the link. Lately I’m noticing something new and insidious. Of course there’s a lot of linkrot, where stuff is just gone. (In my archives, Yahoo News and Make’s Craftzine are the two biggest offenders.) Then there’s stuff that’s gone, but the domain has been repurposed by someone else. Sometimes it’s obvious (porn and gambling ahoy!) and other times they create a plausible looking site filled with SEO glurge. And then there’s this third dark pattern I don’t even have a name for yet, where the same entity is still in control of the domain and the link goes to a plausible looking URL, but it’s NOT the page I linked to originally.

                                                                  Here’s an example. In 2001 I wrote a post (web-goddess.org/archive/554) about Jenna Bush, saying I sympathised with her and that she was just acting like a college student. In it, I linked to a Salon.com article (salon.com/mwt/wire/2001/05/30/) about her. If you follow that link now, you are silently redirected to an article about her beliefs about safe sex (salon.com/2007/09/25/jenna_bus). If you don’t look closely, you might miss the fact that the safe sex article is from 2007. If you go to the Wayback Machine, you’ll see that the actual article I linked to was about her buying booze (web.archive.org/web/2001060509). I’ve now found several other Salon.com links to that redirect to posts about the same general topic of the post, but aren’t the actual one I linked to.

                                                                  Another example. In 2013 I linked to (web-goddess.org/archive/11354) a Serious Eats recipe for “tobacco cookies” (seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/0). If you click that link now, you’re redirected to a recipe for Chocolate Dipped Tuile “Cigarettes” (seriouseats.com/chocolate-dipp). That one gave me pause. Is that what I originally linked to? If that’s what the recipe is called, why did I call it something else? Here’s the Wayback Machine to the rescue again, confirming that there really used to be a recipe for tobacco cookies (seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/0). WTF.

                                                                  I’m not clear on why or how this is happening. Maybe some sort of custom 404 logic that picks out a keyword and sends you to a likely recent link? It’s infuriating though that they don’t give you any warning that it might not be the page you’re looking for. It makes finding broken links that much harder, because they’re actively trying to gaslight me. Links are a contract and a promise. Silently redirecting web-goddess.org/archive/77747

I knew who everyone told me to be, a good little Jewish boy who would grow up to be a good Jewish man. I built that boy out of mud with my hands and shaped him into the form others expected. On his forehead I wrote אמת, truth, hoping it would live a truth I didn’t understand.

                                                                      I wrote a name of God on a piece of paper and placed it into his mouth and he lived. For 35 years he walked in my place, living a false life with my breath.

                                                                      One day I could suffocate no longer and needed to die or take my breath back. In a moment of strength I removed the aleph from his head and he fell apart. He did not die as his forehead now read, for he was never alive.

                                                                      I didn’t realize how much mud had accumulated over the years. How deep the shame was, how heavy the long dried pieces of dirt were. My hands, now torn and bleeding from breaking my golem apart, finally found the long forgotten paper.

                                                                      I see the name I wrote was my own.

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!

I left a home, 15+ years of shared work, a dog, a cat, and a boy (well, I didn't really literaly left the boy behind, of course, he's still a part of my life). It was painful, but it also looked like a new open threshold. I want to think that I left with respect for the other part, though not everybody agrees. At least, I was sincere to myself, as my life needed a new path. Not everybody understood why I took my decision but I had no other option.

                                                                                          You've probably heard that life goes on and most changes are for the best and what not. I won't repeat that.

That coincidence doesn't have any connection to a clock's function as a tool. It's not doing the thing you think clocks do. It's not right about the time any more than a photo of a clock is. Or a description of a clock in a book. A stopped clock isn't a time keeping device. It's something else, that's merely shaped like a time keeping device.

                                                                                                                                LLMs aren't thinking. They aren't learning, understanding, or remembering. They're doing something else, that is merely shaped like thinking. They are a stopped clock, and they are always wrong.

But given that they don't even know if the in-premise system is running, I guess that they would not be able to use it to restore anything by themselves, am I right?

When you set up this kind of backup systems for your clients, do they have the ability of restoring the backups by themselves in the case of an eventual catastrophe, or should they call you for this matter?

                                                                                                                                            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)

"By realistic I mean grounded. Something that we could imagine happening in our real world. No magic (a drawing of a girl with fire powers), no supernatural elements unless you know what you're doing (a talking cat), no cure-all tech (a man is claiming a tiny piece of tech is going to solve everything).

"Well, let's see...Solarpunk isn't just an aesthetic, it's an emerging genre and artistic movement." The statement is accompanied by mandala-like drawing of several hands drawing the Solarpunk symbol.
Then there's a dualistic drawing: Cyberpunk and Solarpunk next to each other. In the Cyberpunk drawing, a man is holding a gun, and in the other he is unloading soil from a big bag into a garden bed. Three tiny people are floating next to the Solarpunk man, imagining what tasty stuff can grow from that soil.
The caption reads: "Solarpunk is also sort of CyberPunk's counterpart. While Cyberpunk concerns itself with wrecking bad old systems, Solarpunk is about building new, better ones. SolarPunk's creation was very intentional - it's for letting us imagine a tomorrow that's not a fucking shitshow."
In the corner, the artist points at a box labeled "future" and asks "If it's alive, what do you reckon it looks like?"

When it comes to technology, we can stop climate change and achieve a sustainable world right now." A whole section next to this text is filled with various sustainable technologies: perma- and polyculture, wind turbines, vernacular architecture, reforestation, libraries of everything, trains, trams, bikes, solar panels, habitat restoration, degrowth etc.
"We don't need to wait until a fancy piece of tech comes along and fixes everything." There's a rendition of that meme where people are huddling together to discuss something. A contraption called "carbon sucker 9000 appears". The group gives it a thumbs up and continues discussing their own stuff like minimizing plane travel.

"What we need is large cultural and societal change. But most people struggle to imagine anything but dystopia."
In a frame nearby, a rich guy gleefully puts his foot on a pair of scales, favoring a bag of money over the planet. However, just out of frame is a group of people with tools, ready to take the planet back.

"Solarpunk is for filling that blank space! And a grounded, though not unambitious, approach makes it feel more achievable to the average person."

A lady is reading a Solarpunk book. She exclaims: "So you're telling me people can just do stuff without a monetary incentive or the risk of hunger and homelessness? Movie number 3752 about robots enslaving humanity was much more realistic!"
"The hard part for Solarpunks is imagining what the culture and structure of this new society would look like. How would it operate?" Drawing: the author sits gloomily at a desk, mumbling "I wish I could try out this hobby but the tools are so expensive, and I don't even know if it'll be a long-term interest or not...". But then they have an epiphany. "Wait, I could literally just go to the library!"
"How does this new world think? And what do we change about ourselves to get closer to it?" The final doodle is of a man stating we must ensure economic growth until the end of time, though the woman next to him retorts: "You and what endless planetary resources?" She then suggests that we instead produce what's necessary and give it to those who need it.

                                                                                                                                                      I understand that the oversimplification "it happens in Italy, so it has to be the mafia" sounds a bit insulting, but maybe the mystery-craving in us recognize a pattern so much read and seen in movies. Your brilliant phrase "And of course, I’ve left out the worst parts of the story" also add a lot of neo-noir vibes to the story 😀

The Jewish young girl who hid in an attic and was killed by the Nazis? The emblematic person we think of when we think of victims of the Holocaust?

                                                                                                                                                            She did not die in a gas chamber or in a death camp. She died in a temporary' detention center for the mass deportations which preceded the death camps.
                                                                                                                                                            She was in that camp because a patriotic neighbor ratted her out to the German deportation force. She died, not of a bullet to the back of the head or choking on gas, but of typhus. She contracted typhus because the Nazis couldn't realistically deport people at the rate they wanted to, because before the death camps their infrastructure couldn't handle the sudden influx of ethnic minorities they had decided to imprison, and because they didn't care about the consequences of that so their deportation detention centers were unhygienic and prisoners were underfed and overcrowded.

                                                                                                                                                            And she was picked up by the deportation force not because she was an illegal citizen but because, just like the US is doing with asylum seekers, she was part of a formerly recognized class of citizens who were legally redefined to lack citizenship by a new administration.

                                                                                                                                                            Anne Frank is exactly like the children who have already died in the United State's detention camps. Exactly. Down to the very last detail. There. Is. Not. A.
                                                                                                                                                            Single. Difference.

                                                                                                                                                            So unless you want to fucking tell me that Anne goddamn Frank was not a victim of the Holocaust, y'all can shut the fuck up with that "stop making concentration camp comparisons, you're diminishing the suffering of the Holocaust" bullshit.

                                                                                                                                                            Its also worth noting that her family TRIED to flee to the US and was denied. She was in that camp partly because the US refused to let her refugee family immigrate.

It has been more than proved that ZFS is great, reliable, and flexible.

I use read-only snapshots every day and RAID 0 and 1 configurations in some places without a hassle.

                                                                                                                                                                    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).

                                                                                                                                                                    While undeniably fantastic, I've also had this problem with ZFS: its architecture and terminology have always sounded too alien for the old UNIX whitebeard in me.
