I will note that Techdirt's most vocal troll has been posting multiple comments pointing to Planter as proof that it's leftists who are Nazis and anyone who refers to maga as Nazis is just trying to deflect... So... yeah

Debate: use the docker rootless version of Gitea, build a dedicated VM, or SynoCommunity Gitea package?

The @washingtonpost.com describes the deaths of an estimated 750,000 people to date as "messy"

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were. These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War. Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35 Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42 Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39 Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

In what may be a weird problem, I have a library of a few tens of thousands mobi files, and I think I need to build a conversion pipeline to turn each one to ePub format. Normally, I’d consider doing this with Calibre, but the volume of files to bulk convert makes that seem bad.

Absolute shocker of a rights grab - academics may want to push back hard

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Pulsars are just party goths.

Why are they needed if everyone is going to be deported?

Who up Braving they New World?

I can’t believe RFKJr lied and mislead senators - about doing things he said he’d do when he campaigned for President. Weird.

I thought I had an 8am interview, grabbed a shirt, and across the front is “¡Adios Pantalones!” No regrets on the shirt, but absolutely not appropriate for a call on Zoom.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! Feb 13: Cowboys One of the most iconic parts of US culture, and most Americans aren't even taught the origin of the word "cowboys." Read the whole linked thread.

The bad news: this is pretty normal. Internally, a session cookie will end up mapped to a UUID internally. Sometimes this is to avoid sending bad info, sometimes to avoid sending the same ad too many times. Sometimes to track engagement, to build a profile.

:chef’s kiss: perfect. No notes.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! Feb 12: Shoplifting / Being bad customers It seems like Black people shoplift a lot. Is that true? And completely unrelated, why are Black people so eager to adopt new technologies? Early adopters are usually rich, and y'all are not? What gives? Read the whole thread.

My favorite “corporate” hardware remains SGI. They were not just ahead of their time, but brilliantly engineered. I love the preservation and upgrade efforts people are doing. mattst88.com/blog/2026/02...

My cinnamon tree has flowered! The flowers smell sweet and floral, not cinnamon-y at all. This makes sense as the cinnamon is a bug deterrent in the tree flesh. Flowers are a bug attractant! I’ve never seen this before. Growing plants is awesome. (Tree has flowered after 10 years growth from seed.)

I called up one of the White House's "special government employees" involved in the Fulton County FBI raid. I ended up on the phone for almost two hours hearing about the "deep state" "cabal," "Satanists," poison soda, and the "pure evil" of "gay pride." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/meet-th...

Possibly the greatest shot/chaser I’ve seen.

Fuck Russia and all its outsized influence over the IOC.

The problem here is a large number of the aid request accounts are spamming, and it’s impossible to tell the difference between a legitimate one and someone scamming. Not that donating to an aid organization will get people actual help either.

Thirty years of concern. Never enough courage.

The Epstein files have been updated; it now consists of nearly 430 GB of data and 1,500,000 files. This includes documents that have since been deleted by the Department of Justice. ddosecrets.org/article/epst... Donate to help us keep publishing: donorbox.org/ddosecrets

A couple of years ago I was in an old shopping mall in Edinburgh where one of the empty units had been turned into a "living history" exhibition for kids, full of "how your grandparents' living room/bedroom looked when they were your age". ... They'd turned my teenage years into a museum gallery.

Breaking: Tragedy at the Winter Olympics

It’s either disappointing or surprising that DinoCon is holding people more to account for their association with Epstein than the US government.

Age verification? [shows punchcard with name and ID number]

I remain shocked by how much work was done after Katrina (subj of my diss) on evacuating pets in disasters relative to evacuating people without cars, or with disabilities, or with poverty, or elderly, or, or, or

This is a great read. Didn’t watch the show, because I actually have to sleep (and was sick).

Oh good. I’m right in the megacolon.

I don't know why conservatives complain about Bad Bunny singing in Spanish. They never listen to lyrics anyway. They think "Born in the USA" is an upbeat patriotic song. They played "We will rock you" on Trump's rallies to rev up the crowd. Trump jerks off two invisible dicks to YMCA.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Good. We already know the Federal government is going to lie.

Make no mistake: It's a very short leap from "Medical care is expensive, so we're not going to provide it." to "Housing and feeding people is expensive, so we're just going to kill them."

Establishment Dems responding to the threatened annexation of Greenland by messaging about cost of living issues really don’t understand that to Europeans it looks like they either don’t see this as a crisis or are tacitly in favor of it. 1/x

Fuckity fuck fuck. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

The entire Alaskan delegation needs to be asked how they feel about the prospect of soldiers potentially being sent from JBER to Minneapolis. Also, Mary Peltola better have a strong statement on how she feels about it as well.

Fully agree. But, I suspect Russia will continue to have influence operations run through local cutouts.

I honestly don’t think these are scams anymore. I think these are ways to bypass certain laws around gifts. Institutional buyers are fully aware the “rug pull” is coming.
