Can you put something like mold or env mold for better portability?

If not, I guess it’s not so bad to edit and do git update-index --assume-unchanged .cargo/config.toml but it’s a bit hacky since any further changes also get ignored.

So they’ve just decided that all devices now support HEVC (H.265) and they’ll just disable transcoding? My media centre is on a Pi 3B and that can’t play h265 smoothly. If I had a Synology I’d be pretty annoyed!

I was interested to see that there’s an unexplained dip in battery visible on the status page:

I wondered if it was due to a lot of traffic (bots/DDOS/Slashdot effect) but then I noticed it’s behind Cloudflare (cheating a bit, surely?).

edit: I’d missed the bit where he says he doesn’t use the caching:

I use Cloudflare’s DNS proxy, which handles DNS and offers basic DDoS protection. However, I do not use Cloudflare’s caching or CDN features, as that would somewhat defeat the purpose of running this website on solar power and keeping it local-first.

We need to avoid what I call super-spreader events.

Or what everyone else calls the Kessler syndrome.

Your argument is that a single backup is sufficient? I disagree, and I think that so would most in the selfhosted and datahoarder communities.

That’s a crazy number - 300 AQI is when you get into the final “hazardous” band. 1900 means the needle can go all the way around the dial and comfortably lap the merely hazardous level.

What’s going on with the kerning?

What work is actually involved in the Software Bill of Materials stuff? When I search for “Freebsd SBOM” I mostly get references to this news story.

There seems to be tools that generate SBoM reports automatically, is it just a case of adding plugins into the build pipeline?

The North Yorkshire power plant, which burns wood pellets imported from North America

So the trees are grown in America, processed in America and then transported across the Atlantic before getting to Yorkshire? That must use up all the carbon budget before it’s even burnt, surely?

Good, I guess.

It’s understood the same as a middle finger would be, except more Britishly.

Growing up, the story was that it came from when longbows were peak weaponry and the French were chopping the fingers off of captured English archers - the V sign was saying something like “fuck you, I can still shoot you”. There’s insult/defiance/threat in there but it’s not like throwing down the gauntlet (to be clear, we don’t do that gesture any more).

This makes sense.
