I think one ought to be able to bounce in and out of both ways of seeing the problem seamlessly.

Use brute force to verify your theory. Use theory to make better brute force.

You generally won’t see me advocate violence. What I’m saying is, screaming at ICE agents, demanding documentation, recording their voices and faces, telling them they are ruining lives and acting like Nazis — that all works. These fucks go home and take that baggage with them. You don’t need (or want) violence there usually. You want a pressure campaign to shame these shitweasels into slowing down, “accidentally” losing targets, and quitting. Friction. Slow the machine down.

I do high stress work. I watch people die. I do surgical procedures in moving vehicles and in chaotic trauma bays. I deal with violent, drunk, and high people all the time. I can tell you this — when people make my environment more dangerous, I will look chill and work through it to keep everyone safe, but I am gonna be shaking and can’t think well for a bit afterwards every time.

When citizens surround ICE guys and scream at them, that’s what is happening to ICE. Keep it up! It does matter.

If you came with a warning label, what would it be?

Mine would be “Warning: May cause temporary inflammation or irritation.”

It's been difficult to separate the new World Trade Center building from that terrible day in 2001, but we now have the benefit of just enough time that we can begin to discuss the tower as a piece of architecture and as part of the skyline, on its own terms.

It's generally simpler to capture tall skyscrapers like this from a distant vantage point; the classic photos of WTC are usually shot from Brooklyn or New Jersey. But here I wanted to show it as it's seen in the neighborhood. The foreground buildings look taller in the frame, but the (much taller) One WTC tower still stands out, given its uncrowded position in the skyline, as if its neighbors maintain a respectful distance.

This was captured with the Rodenstock 70mm/5.6 HR Digaron-W lens. A large image circle allows room for considerable movements, used here to swing to selectively focus on the WTC tower. A polarizer darkened the clear sky a bit, as well as taming some of the highlights reflected off the glass wall of the tower.

The shape of the new One WTC makes the light catch it differently throughout the day and in different weather. I made several exposures at different times before settling on this one.

QEMU is one of those pieces of software where, on the surface, it looks amazing. It emulates everything. It supports every architecture. You can boot a whole-ass operating system inside a YAML file on a toaster if you want.
But the moment you try to actually use it, it becomes immediately clear that QEMU was not written so much as it emerged, fully formed, from the darkest, deepest corner of an obsolete instruction set manual written in blood and Hungarian notation.
You want to do something simple like “boot an ISO”? Ha. Buckle the fuck up. You're about to write a command line 300 characters long, full of flags that mean nothing, do everything, or secretly contradict each other depending on the phase of the moon.
-enable-kvm -cpu host -smp 4 -m 4096 -nic user -device e1000 -drive file=wtf.img,format=raw,if=virtio,index=0 -boot d -cdrom arch.iso -vga std
That’s just the beginner tier. You want UEFI? You better find the exact OVMF blob hidden deep in some /usr/share/qemu/edk2/OVMF.fd directory that varies per distro and isn’t documented anywhere. Want secure boot? Fuck you. You’re on your own.
Need sound? No you don’t. QEMU’s audio stack is a cryptic abomination wrapped around ancient ALSA, PulseAudio, and maybe JACK if you invoke it while holding a sacrificial chicken. Half the time you get silence, the other half you get full-volume digital screaming because your sample rate was wrong by 1Hz and QEMU doesn't clamp that shit.
Want networking? Okay, now you’re really in trouble. Because QEMU supports ten different networking models and none of them are sane. There’s -nic user, which works but can’t access your LAN. There’s -netdev bridge, which requires root, two shell scripts, and a master's degree in Linux networking internals. And then there's -net tap, which may or may not work depending on what libvirt decided to vomit into /etc/qemu/bridge.conf three years ago.
You want USB passthrough? Cool. Here's how you do it:
1.
Run lsusb
2.
Pray
3.
Try -device usb-host,hostbus=3,hostport=2
4.
Watch the guest kernel panic
5.
Cry
And the documentation? HA. It’s not documentation—it’s a vague whisper of meaning. The man pages are 1,200 lines long and still manage to explain nothing. “Use -device” they say. What devices? What does virtio-scsi-pci mean? What is a ich9-usb-ehci1? No one knows. They’re not listed. They’re not described. The only way to find them is to run qemu-system-x86_64 -device help and scroll through pages of raw output, most of which are undocumented internal components that will cause instant death if you use them wrong.
QEMU is not a virtual machine manager. QEMU is a puzzle box built by cursed engineers, and your prize for solving it is maybe, maybe, getting a VM to boot without errors in the logs. Not cleanly. Not efficiently. Just... booted. That’s your win condition.
