#OtD 29 Apr 1945 the body of Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini was dumped in Milan's Piazzale Loreto, where partisans were massacred by the Gestapo the previous year. His body was attacked by the crowd until it was hung up. More in our podcast: https://workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e77-80-italian-resistance/

Meanings of the smoke for the upcoming papal conclave:

Black smoke means they're burning oil, which could be a sign of piston ring or valve stem seal wear

White smoke means they're burning coolant and the papal head gasket has blown

I've created ebook versions of my hopeful climate fiction "Standing Wave" and "Running AMOC", both EPUB and PDF. You can also read them on line at https://selfedge.org.uk/fiction/

"Standing Wave" is about a team of fedizens searching for a long-lost climate model. The main actors are a Mongolian Soviet researcher and his US counterpart, some time in the 1970s.

EPUB: https://selfedge.org.uk/ebooks/Standing-Wave--Wim-Vanderbauwhede.epub
PDF: https://selfedge.org.uk/ebooks/Standing-Wave--Wim-Vanderbauwhede.pdf

"Runnning AMOC" is about the impending collapse of the Gulf stream. The protagonist is an Indonesian-Dutch woman of around fifty.

PDF: https://selfedge.org.uk/ebooks/Running-AMOC--Wim-Vanderbauwhede.pdf

BTW Yellow Magic Orchestra's "Solid State Survivor" is a great album. If I didn't know it was from 1979, I would've assumed it was made today.

"Behind the Mask" might be my favorite track, but they're all great.

I wrote a book on Linux Memory Management, published by @nostarch - it's a comprehensive 1300 page exploration of Linux 6.0's memory management code, depth-first, diving into the code and REALLY explaining how things work.

The idea is to avoid hand waving as much as possible and literally explore what the kernel _actually_ does.

It's full of diagrams and careful explanations of logic including a ton of stuff you just can't find anywhere else.

It's currently available in its entirety in draft form via early access when you pre-order.

It's available at https://nostarch.com/linux-memory-manager

It's important to learn the moves that take you into the vortex, but it's best not to study vortex itself too closely. Even grandmasters who have built up a tolerance lose the ability to play for a few hours after studying it.

The Fosstodon admins were both major disappointments today. One managed to wrote 1,600 words without a single acknowledgement of the concerns that were brought to him, let alone his choice to defend a fascist. The other called the LGBTQ+ members of Fosstodon a “vocal minority” who are ”loud” and “obnoxious” because they dared to raise an issue.

This is not OK. No one should tolerate this. Every single person plugged into this broader network deserves better.

Found some stuff to make #Rancher Desktop a smoother replacement for #Docker Desktop:

export DOCKER_HOST=unix://$HOME/.rd/docker.sock
export TESTCONTAINERS_DOCKER_SOCKET_OVERRIDE=/var/run/docker.sock
export TESTCONTAINERS_HOST_OVERRIDE=$(rdctl shell ip a show vznat | awk '/inet / {sub("/.*",""); print $2}')

With this, there is no longer a need to check the "ask for admin/sudo" access checkbox , which bugs you every time there's a restart.

(Since I guess this is how Jason and I talk to each other now, lol.)

Yes, I did. I was legally pressured into removing some posts by someone who paid an attorney to send a pretty scary demand. I chose to meet the demand right away. The intimidation worked.

Later, after my attorney had finally reviewed everything, I got the all-clear. The first amendment is still alive and well. (For now!)

I learned a lot from the experience (esp. what to do if it happens again).
