@ai6yr @Dougfir also they had to keep swapping profiles to talk to different networks
Finding 3: Multi-Jurisdictional Dispatch Consolidation Friction (Material / Administrative)
•
Dispatchers in Utah (UT-MFC, UT-UBC) were forced to repeatedly log in and out of
separate radio configuration files (.veg), WildCAD-E profiles, and IROC databases to track
resources and process orders, effectively doubling the workload for a reduced staff
My buddy just linked this on my private Discord. Gotta love how CNN was JUST reporting about the FAA's new AI management system for flights, and now all flights are grounded. What a difference three days makes...

Radio nerditry: been getting the BBC World Service on 9915 KHz quite well the last few days, transmitting from Ascension Island, one of the more remote places on our planet. Not particularly unusual or remarkable, but still a reminder that radio is magical.
@ai6yr
Used to have a special fabric-covered pad to put special fluid upon with a dropper bottle, then gently drag on the LP as it turned, to clean it. I think the fluid disabled the static.
@USelaine It sure attracts bunny fur, lol.
@cobalt123 @Laukidh No, this is another terrible, terrible loss of life in Colorado in June.

@postgresql has released a security focused set of releases (52 vulnerabilities and over 140 bugs).
This is the final release of PostgreSQL 14. PostgreSQL 14 is now end-of-life and will no longer receive security and bug fixes.
(I suspect that mastodon will upgrade the docker compose from PG14 to PG19 once it's released next week to prepare for the upcoming 5.0.0 release)

@ai6yr @Dougfir @Laukidh I know nothing about this, but from article you linked they also linked https://apnews.com/article/wildfire-wildland-firefighting-colorado-trump-administration-549b10807a4491bc50ba42d9450de9cc

L'application de remplacement proposée par Microsoft, la nouvelle version du client Outlook, nécessite depuis l'année dernière que vous vous donniez aux serveurs de Microsoft vos identifiants afin qu'ils récupèrent l'intégralité de vos mails, événements et contacts.
(Il est d'ailleurs intéressant de noter que l'application à la mode, Notion, va également proposer un service de client fonctionnant sur le même principe)
So this happened _because_ they turned something off and back on
“A failed update to the L3Harris-run network that connects US air traffic control facilities caused the nationwide outage.
The update forced the FAA's telecommunications system to reboot, and it crashed when it came back up.” - CBS News
Every word those Trump stooges said at that press conference was undermined by fawning praise of Trump. And by the way, TDM systems are not analog. For that matter, an ordinary POTS line would be more reliable than some of the garbage equipment being installed these days.
Theory: Now that Vroom Vroom has moved on to his new home, maybe we should take a little break from fostering.
Reality: Oh no, there are four sickly orphans who need some extra special attention. I'm the only one who can help them.
@bbsmooth resistance is futile they are singularities of cuteness 
“Because no operational role was assigned to continuously map personnel location against the emerging fires’ trajectories, overhead did not recognize that firefighters were positioned directly in the fire’s line of advance,” the report said.
We made a comic about the moon.
Observations:
Prompting to generate/develop prompts is more effective than I expected it to be. It's also stubborn and frustrating. Some parts it gets completely stuck on, and doesn't respond to me wanting to rewrite or remove. The constraints of the hardware make it better to write the prompt to the filesystem early, edit manually, then go back for another round.
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
