This morning for the first time in Boston since 1941 there’s just static at 1510 on the AM band. WMEX has gone off air permanently. It was a rock n’ roll pioneer and a powerhouse in its heyday. But the radio station had been in decline since the 1970s. https://wmexboston.com/

• gifv: Video of someone measuring their tabby cats head then 3d printing different hats with ear holes for the kitty to wear like a orange traffic cone, a yellow hardhat, and a firefighter hat. You see the kitty licking their lips a lot, so you know plenty of tasty bribery was involved for the video shoot.

You just know that it means that you will get less product for more money with more air added and ingredient replacements that you wouldn't even think of feeding your pets.

"Improving recipe" to me has the same connotation as the recent "price upgrade" from Hulu.

@Npars01 @tomjennings @ai6yr

the USPS just announced putting cameras in all their trucks for "neighborhood safety" too... any bets on how long after that before ICE gets that footage too?

until we abolish ICE and get federal privacy laws with teeth, it's only going to get worse.

RE: https://mastodon.com.pl/@grono/117361991910931158

Digging a bit into CVE-2026-92543, this one looks bad. A MITM can trivially get #docker to ignore TLS certificate issues when pulling content from a registry, allowing an attacker with control of the network to inject malicious container images to run on the target. Digest pinning and signature verification would prevent this attack.

of course, for us it reduces it from 0% of our storage capacity to 0%, so it's maybe a slightly questionable time investment, but hey

ireneista@irenes.space ("Irenes (many)") wrote:

that is a 48% space savings, which would be worthwhile for almost anybody

it's also a significantly better savings, as a percentage, than prior times we've done this with nixpkgs. we think something may have changed on github's end, regarding how often they do a full gc.

there was a period during the 2010s when we were sad that we could no longer tell how our computer was "feeling" by listening to the sounds of its workload, but it turned out that was just because we hadn't been giving them hard-enough workloads :D
