@Jackiemauro We used to work together at CMU. Well, I worked for you, more accurately.

Trying to explain to someone that no, the web developer can't do it because they let the web developer go is not something that gives me fulfilment

@kibcol1049 Why is it called parallel parking, anyway?

Clearly, it is a serial interface, not a parallel one.

The House of Representatives is looking for a Senior IT Business and Systems Analyst to help build the institutional (non-partisan) IT systems that support Congress's operations. An excellent opportunity for the right person.

For example, fine rain falls. visibility is reduced. What you should definitely *not* do is put your full beams on. Which they all do. Congrats. now you see even worse, and opposing traffic is totally blind.

Drivers here often respond to inclement weather with a technique I like to call "losing their fucking minds"

I'm curious if the traffic signal that fell down near work was the tornado yesterday, or a man made phenomenon with 4 wheels. I may go and look at lunch.

Something has changed with the handling of Bluetooth peripherals in Sequoia 15.1.1 When coming back from standby there's quite a delay before the Magic Mouse wakes up.

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.64 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes (mostly bugfixes):

Some tweaks for better integration with https://bsky.brid.gy (the BlueSky bridge by brid.gy).

A corner case bug in the media proxying code has been fixed.

Hashtags can now include underscores.

The server now creates a pidfile inside the data directory.

Mastodon API: fixed a crash in the notification code, fixed autocapitalization in the OAuth login field (contributed by fkooman).

This release has been inspired by the song Take Me To The River by #Kaleida.

Good news! #OpenBSD -current now allows setting a separate performance policy (hw.perfpolicy) when on battery power vs. on AC power.

This is useful as a few years ago the default changed. The "auto" performance policy (hw.perfpolicy) is equivalent to "high" on when on AC power and there was no option to change this without custom kernel patches, or a userspace solution (sysutils/obsdfreqd).

jca@ modified src/sys/kern/sched_bsd.c: Let the user provide an alternative perfpolicy when on battery

The current behavior of "auto", which implies running at full speed when on AC power, does not fit all the hardware and use cases. For some people it results in more power consumption, more heat, more noise, etc.

Extend the semantics of hw.perfpolicy and provide two buttons to specify the desired behavior:

sysctl hw.perfpolicy=ac-policy,battery-policy

Keep the default behavior of "high,auto". People can opt for "auto,auto" or simply "auto" instead.

No objection from deraadt@, input and ok sobrado@ sthen@

@sullybiker btw "no one has ever seen before" includes by me. I never saw more than 1 percent of what I'm showing here in a form other than a postage-stamp sized image on a proof sheet until I started scanning the negatives.

I have a Ryobi powerpack that takes the batteries from my garden stuff. My youngest asks hopefully "Does it do Internet?"

Severe thunderstorm and tornado warning. The power is out. November. It's insane what is happening with the climate.

For all the shit algorithms get, for all the talk of the death of the album, sometimes after an album Spotify will find something I've never heard of that is absolutely brilliant.
