If you have an Intel Raptor Lake system and you're in the northern hemisphere, chances are that your machine is crashing more often because of the summer heat. I know because I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash reports coming from Raptor Lake systems.

Want to talk about your science in your own podcast but don't not know how to start? Or aren't sure what's involved logistically?

FediScience e.V. is planning a "podcasting for scientists 101" workshop and we would like to see how many people might be interested and what specifically you would expect to be covered.

This will be a free online event happening around late September or early October and would be conducted by an expert in science communication.

If you are interested, please either respond to this post or send me a DM. Please include any concrete topics or questions you would like to see covered in your message.

Boosts appreciated.

💥💥 Double detonation!

For the first time, astronomers have obtained visual evidence that a star met its end by blasting twice.

This was done by studying the centuries-old remains of supernova SNR 0509-67.5 with our Very Large Telescope. Led by the Univ. of South Wales, this shows some of the most important explosions in the Universe in a new light.

What happened exactly? Keep reading.

Back in February, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News that Jeffrey Epstein's "client list" was sitting on her desk. Now, a Justice Department and FBI review says there was no "client list" or evidence of blackmail, and that the disgraced financier died by suicide while in custody in Manhattan. Here's more from @CBSNews.

Can someone explain to me what it means when "wlr-output-power-management-unstable-v1" reports a wl_output as being "failed" rather than "on" or "off"? Restarting XScreenSaver does not change it, so this bit is server-side not client-side. The screens are functioning properly with windows and such, but they just stop reporting their power state, forevermore.

Gotta say, since I switched my Testing Pi to Wayland, it sure does freeze solid and require a power-cycle a lot more often.

Like: Wayland: twice a day.
X11: every 4 months.

Oh hey! Elements of Programming is now free because their publisher decided to stop printing them.

This is exciting and if you want to get an incredible introduction to type theory from first principles it's one of my more favorite texts on the subject. It does use C++ as it's reference language but you don't really need to know very much C++ in order to appreciate the text. IIRC it introduces what you need to know as it uses various features.

In case you missed it, there is now a Fediverse alternative to Strava called Wanderer:

➡️ https://wanderer.to

There is a public server list at:

➡️ https://wanderer.to/servers

To sign up on a server, click on "Create Account", then "Login", then "Make One".

If you're running your own public Wanderer server you can add it to the list at https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer/discussions/361

Techy people can self-host using instructions at https://wanderer.to/run/installation

The U.S. now plans to treat climate change, pandemics and other natural disasters the same way we treat gun violence.

Defund and ban any research on it, avoid common sense laws and resort to thoughts and prayers after every preventable loss of life.

A society in regression.

If you have been wondering, "will fail2ban with ipset also fall over when the AI bots come a-knockin'?" the answer is "also yes".

Increase maxelem in action.d/iptables-ipset.conf

Expanding existing tables without wiping them is super easy, barely an inconvenience:

ipset save OLD_NAME > OUT
perl -pi -e 's/OLD_NAME/TMP/' OUT
perl -pi -e 's/65536/6553600/' OUT
ipset restore < OUT
ipset swap TMP OLD_NAME
ipset destroy TMP
rm OUT
