My job title has the word 'director' in it. This is like a magnet for LinkedIn recruiters that seem to think I run the whole place. There's loads of us, it's like 'vice president'.
#F1 Logan Sargeant in for another year at Williams. No driver moves at all for 2024.

Hi. I am looking for my writing friends. I understand that some of you are here.
Read Doctorow's enshitification essay and it's very good. Describes so many things in tech. The latest of which is YouTube.
Sportscar racing is definitely having a sunshine period, the surge in manufacturer support due to Hypercar, the convergence of IMSA and FIA regs. But, they're fickle. They tend to walk away. Audi and Porsche in particular treat it like their plaything. LMP2/3 filled the gaps in the grid with a cost controlled formula. it's a shame to throw it away.
A superb Racecar Engineering deep dive of the Oreca 07, of LMP2 fame. Probably the most important class of endurance racing, they kept prototype racing alive while all the big manufacturers swanned in and out as they pleased. Dropped from WEC next year, they will only be at Le Mans. #FIAWEC #EnduranceRacing

I first heard this version at uni in the 90s, and thought I imagined it. A kid in the next door room had it on vinyl and I remember thinking "what the hell is this?" Then I didn't hear it again for 20 years.
The 1986 rework of 'Don't Stand So Close To Me' is such an interesting example of a distinctive and timeless composition being made very, very of it's time. It sounds like Jan Hammer. A weird time capsule of the post-Police Sting dipshittery. I still like it, for all that.

There's a cheapness in academia that sometimes gets right on my pip. They never want to pay for anything.

WARNING for Raspberry Pi 5 NAS users: If you use btrfs to set up a Raspberry Pi 5 as a NAS, your filesystem will not be mountable from almost all other machines unless you use mkfs.btrfs -s 4096.
The Raspberry Pi 5 uses 16K pages by default, and as of today this is the default block size for mkfs.btrfs upstream on such systems. btrfs does not support mounting 16K block size filesystems on x86 machines, or any machine with a 4K page size.
We knew this was going to be a problem for Asahi Linux (which also uses 16K pages), so Fedora ARM64 has long carried a patch to change the default to 4K. Unfortunately, even though we submitted it upstream a long time ago, the btrfs-progs maintainers have chosen not to apply it at this time.
If you format a btrfs filesystem on a Raspberry Pi 5 normally, it will work, but you will be setting yourself up for a terrible disaster recovery scenario: If the Pi ever stops working, you will have to find another one (or an Apple Silicon laptop) to gain access to your data again - and no replacing/upgrading the Pi with any other machine (except a Mac) without a full disk reformat.
Taylor Swift features very prominently on my #SpotifyWrapped, as well as Sepultura. My eight year old (loves him some TayTay) has a lot to answer for.
Charlie Higson absolutely losing his shit as Johnny Nice Painter while Arabella Weir tries not to corpse is just fantastic. #black

Security researchers are tracking what they say is the “mass exploitation” of a security vulnerability that makes it possible to take full control of servers running ownCloud, a widely used open-source filesharing server app.
The vulnerability, which carries the maximum severity rating of 10, makes it possible to obtain passwords and cryptographic keys allowing administrative control of a vulnerable server by sending a simple Web request to a static URL, ownCloud officials warned last week. Within four days of the November 21 disclosure, researchers at security firm Greynoise said, they began observing “mass exploitation” in their honeypot servers, which masqueraded as vulnerable ownCloud servers to track attempts to exploit the vulnerability. The number of IP addresses sending the web requests has slowly risen since then. At the time this post went live on Ars, it had reached 13.
“We're seeing hits to the specific endpoint that exposes sensitive information, which would be considered exploitation,” Glenn Thorpe, senior director of security research & detection engineering at Greynoise, said in an interview on Mastodon. “At the moment, we've seen 13 IPs that are hitting our unadvertised sensors, which indicates that they are pretty much spraying it across the internet to see what hits.”
There's a thing at Ferrari's site about it here: https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/magazine/articles/great-ferrari-innovations-the-f1-semi-automatic-gearbox
