This election result reminds me of 2017. I remember how somber the mood was in by the end of election night. English jubilantly presuming he'd been elected PM. Not how it played out.
As CLuxon just said, it's still too close to call. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day ...
After I lost my dog Drake last year I was lost, it really affected me. Working from home lost its shine, it was so quiet and empty.
Two months later, after looking at classified ads for doggos, I found this farmer who had a bunch of purebred labrador retrievers for sale.
Messaged him Thursday, met him Friday and got to meet all the puppers.
They all came to me except one, he was a shy guy. I knew instantly he was the one ❤️
I paid him and picked him up the following Tuesday.
The trillion dollar monsters are all focusing on *finding* issues at high speed in large volumes. Hardly any of them care about *fixing* these problems with any sense of quality.

@amoroso Starting with just email and Usenet is a focused way to get online. Do you remember which provider it was?
@SinclairSpeccy Absolutely, it was Sublink Network, which I accessed from the Coherent Unix clone for PCs.

@thezoq2 I've downloaded so much RAM, it's time for me to give back.
Today's goals:
- Release Mastodon Bird UI for v5
- Go for a run outside
We need to find a better term than “gas town” syndrome for that break in reality people have when they convince themselves that having countless “agents” at their beck and call will let them perform miracles and “build” like gods
Not specific to coding either
On a related note, as I browse I keep running into newsletters and blogs I used to follow who used to be at least performatively critical of "AI" but are now all-in as true true believers.
@baldur I liked "vibe-sickness" but maybe that designates a milder version of this syndrome ?
Feel bad about hoarding RAM that could be used by Sam? No worries, I just launched https://uploadyourram.org/ so you can give your RAM to those in need

The way I moved our entire #yunohost server from one bad drive to another was a lot easier than using the Yunohost backup and restore methods.
Our server has 2 drives. 1 x Nvme of 1TB (where we store Yunohost basically and boot from it), and 2x 4TB HDD merged into a single 8TB one, where we host the data for our Peertube and Nextcloud.
The Nvme was dying.
Solution? ddrescue!
Basically I booted into a rescue system (debian) via Hetzner's dashboard. Made sure the Nvme was unmounted. Mounted the 8TB HDD. And created an image file of the entire system of the bad Nvme to the 8TB HDD. Took around 2 hours.
Then asked the Hetzner team to replace the Nvme. Now again boot into recovery mode and simply restore the image to the new Nvme.
Worked like a charm! Restored everything...partitions, databases, driver's IDs....all!
4-5h to move it all. Sure more hours in total but the image creation and restoration was not long.
Rebooted and we are back!
It was much easier than to restore 10+ applications with huge databases.
So now our TROM.tf is back with our services....Nextcloud, Peertube, Friendica, and more....
I so recommend this approach if you are in a similar situation!

Meta is in the headlines again, this time over allegations of tracking and collecting patients' sensitive medical information, including appointment and prescription details, as well as health conditions, from healthcare websites and apps. https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/meta-pixel-health-data-privacy-lawsuit-1830121
A US federal judge has certified multiple classes of Facebook users to proceed collectively via a class action lawsuit concerning claims they violated state and federal consumer protection laws.
The claimants allege that Meta Pixel - a tracking code that healthcare providers can install on their websites and apps to measure user activity and website performance, as well as improve advertising - transmitted sensitive health data to Meta.

We previously wrote about this emerging trend of pushback within the US against companies via the use of class actions as a legal route to seek redress for the exploitation of health data. https://privacyinternational.org/long-read/5711/call-class-action-how-people-are-reclaiming-control-over-their-health-data/
Health data class actions provide the means to litigate against abuses of health data and push back against companies’ profit-driven collection of health data.
