Last week when I wanted to plan the stream and code projects I am interested in I realized, I am already doing this for 1 year!!!! Woot. Actually one year and one month according to twitch but close enough.
Since I am not quite happy about how streaming is going It's a good time to make some changes 😀 So first of all what is it that I wanted from streaming. Originally I wanted to try it out and see what I can do with it. When you can put in a lot of work into that it works quite well but now that I have a part-time Job it got less priority than before. And now that I got some statistics I can also make some observations on what people like and what actually is worth the effort of making. And when I look at my Youtube statistics of the vods it's very clear what is going on.
So some learnings from those statistics: - My stream is to early 😀 According to twitch the Number of viewers on the English language peaks at 20:00 and thats when I stop or have already finished. So if I want to reach more viewers I definetly need to change times. - Youtube access is mostly from the algorithm and they do not like the long form stream VOD's at all. I think I even got delisted for the last one. However the short demo's and sneak peeks do very well. - Activitypub in Rust is a hot google search topic 😀 - Tutorials do well on youtube. So maybe I actually take some of my learnings and make som tutorials for people. - During events it's easy to get a couple of people to drop by and have some event fun. - SolARM streaming does well. Although I really need a Raspberry PI4 for that. Or start to bringup another Single board computer with an ARM chip.
More important for me however is: What are the types of things I like to do with Streaming and Youtube. - Collaborate and talk to people while coding - Share usefull information with people - Share my progress on my projects and generally talks about the Projects.
Looking through the community of people that I follow I can see that a lot of people also still use blog posts, as opposed to Video or Audio. But I like Audio and Video. So I'll see how I can use that to make some devlogs. However I want to use streaming differently than I am using it now. Currently I have a fixed Schedule and try to work on one topic to appease the algorithm. This is however not my preffered style of working as I like having multiple projects at once and switching between them when I get inspired to do so or when my thoughts dwell on it. Thus I will be reducing the streams to special event or purpose streams on topics of interest maybe mostly on topics I want to explore and document but not actaully start a complete project. It also allows me to talk about things people find too fringe for conferences. Maybe I'll find some people that want to stream some gaming sessions but that will probably mostly be in Swiss German as that is my native language. So even for my German speaking audience that will be a challenge to understand. But if I am curious if people would like to have some Swiss gaming content.
So to summarize: - No more fixed stream schedule - Dedicated content for videos (thus, start less projects hopefully) - More vlogs/blogs - More project schowcases - Less working on things on stream - Meh Schwitzerdütsch?

[ Santa Fe New Mexican: Hacker steals $324,000 from City of Santa Fe; recoverability unclear ] santafenewmexican.com/news/loc… So often #CyberSecurity is an after-thought for organizations when it should be front-and-center from the Board on down.
And while this may sound like I want to come out of retirement and rejoin my brothers and sisters in cybersecurity don't worry. I got my T-shirt.
I recently wiped Windows in favor of CachyOS, and it's been lovely! However, I have one outstanding issue that I can't seem to figure out.
To start, I have a Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX motherboard. I followed the guide on the Arch Wiki for my particular chipset.
I still can't seem to control my cooling fans. * I have lm_sensors installed * I installed CoolerControl * I used modprobe it87 force_id=0x8628 * I tried adding the .conf files to /etc/modprobe.d/ and /etc/modules-load.d/ * When the steps above didn't work, I installed the it87-dkms-git package
No matter what I've tried, the only time the fan sensors get detected is when I also specify acpi_enforce_resources=lax in GRUB. From what I barely understand, that's not an option you want to leave on permanently, but perhaps y'all know better or have other ideas.
If it helps: * Motherboard: Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX * Latest CachyOS kernel * Boot: GRUB
...allows the module to load without completely changing the acpi policy. I still don't know how to make it cleanly permanent or automated, but this is significant progress.
Also note that it should have been 0x8688 in my case, as revealed by sensors-detect.
Edit 2: Added
/etc/modules-load.d/it87.conf
it87
And
/etc/modprobe.d/it87.conf
options it87 force_id=0x8688 ignore_resource_conflict=1
And everything loads automatically! Thanks everyone!
Student protestors across the country are adapting their strategies to Trump’s crackdown on the pro-Palestine movement, but it’s safe to say the activism is not slowing down.
This is where the legend surrounding Kent began. It was 2007, and very few special operations personnel were willing or able to go speak to Iraqis out in the city in a low-visibility capacity. So Kent taught herself human intelligence techniques and, already fluent in the language, would go out and develop targets for the task force. Like most of ...
Kent’s career, much of her work with the Mohawks was and is classified — and it likely won’t see the light of day for at least 13 more years. But the citation for her Joint Service Commendation Medal received on that deployment notes that she “contributed directly to the capture of hundreds of enemy insurgents and severely degraded enemy combat capability.”

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.

Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.

J.

Three days later Zinoviev was confronted by one of this followers, Karev, who directly accused him. Zinoviev asked that the interrogation be stopped because he wanted to make a statement that, in the event, amounted to a full confession of organizing assassination and terror. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

I think this is the way we should communicate, when presented with the question on how to get on Mastodon:
Copy paste from the link:
How do I use Mastodon?
Download the Mastodon app from the Apple app store or Play store.
Create an account (just like Twitter or any other social media)
Follow people, and get posting.
Why do tech journalists say it’s too confusing to catch on?
I have no fucking idea.
EDIT for clarification, don't take this too seriously:
This “guide” is a bit of a joke made out of frustration. If you actually want to know more, including why I feel it has potential to free us from the dystopian hellscape that is modern social media, here is the “real” guide to Mastodon. It still uses simple language (and has lots of pictures!):
and trying to downplay potential users as stupid before they've even used a social media platform isn't going to exactly make them want to stay. or even try in the first place.
just makes mastodon look like a place where nerds reign free and normal folks won't be able to participate effectively.
if you want to make mastodon a destination and not a niche corner to be avoided, this is not the way.
i agree with you completely.
edit: I should clarify, the "guide" above is the thing insulting users. the guide is inaccurate.
When using the official Mastodon app (as suggested in the "guide") "instances" are not a factor at all (unless the user specifically goes out of their way). A new user could have never even heard of the term "instance" and the above steps would work fine.
You don’t just download the app, create an account, and go.
Actually with Mastodon this is literally how it works.
EDIT: I should say this is how it works now, it didn't always used to be this way. The official Mastodon app used to ask the user to pick an instance, but for a number of years now it defaults every new account to mastodon.social unless they opt out. There was a big brouhah about centralization but the Mastodon devs felt it made for easier on boarding.
I'm not sure, but i guess that it is replicating Twitter behaviour. I got used to that quickly.
But if you want a better experience you can easily find other front ends. I strongly suggest Phanpy that makes it really clear when a toot is part of a conversation/thread. It also does a lot of nice things like grouping boosts in horizontal carousels, collapsing long threads to avoid occpying the too many screens, and others, but it is still simple
Correct, it is mobile only. Unfortunately, I think I must be misunderstanding what you're saying about the op stuff. This is my view, The way I think about it, at least, these are all "OPs", ones with a plus sign next to the leftward arrow. Have comments.
And then if I tap, I get the op with its comments underneath it.

I'm working on a blog post and I started my research in Google as one does sometimes. It helpfully spit-out some accurate sounding bullshit (complete with sources at least).
First entry looks accurate enough and jibes well with my loose memory on the subject. So I'm thinking GREAT! This is going to save me so much time!
Second entry looks accurate too, but it's about something I know nothing about and it's strangely talking about a loosely related concept under the heading of another loosely related concept? Ok. The source is Wikipedia. This is good.
Go to Wikipedia.
Ok, the guy's name is there. Even listed under the right sub-section. But he is absolutely NOT what Google is telling me he is even if he ultimately did do what Google is telling me he did.
It's a blatant #mistake? lie? hallucination? that would cause me to lose all #credibility.
So there goes that idea.
At least Google gave me a list of #sources. That's helpful. So now I've got to go through all the sources and come up with something completely from scratch.
Which, if I'm being honest, is what I should have done originally. Also... "AI responses may include mistakes." is not worded strongly enough.
It should read, "Today's AI generates answers that are inaccurate yet sound plausible, and are not based on any facts or reality. AI responses should not be relied on for any business, academic, scholar, legal, technical, medical, scientific, financial, historical, or military purposes." But investors probably won't like that.

L’empan mnésique correspond en effet au nombre maximal d’éléments (mots, phrases, chiffres, formules ou autre) pouvant être stockés simultanément dans la mémoire à court terme. On parle de plus ou moins 7 éléments (il peut atteindre 8, voire 9 chez certaines personnes ou seulement 6 ou 5 chez d’autres, mais il est de 7 pour la grande majorité), d’où l’emprunt à l’unité de mesure des bâtisseurs du Moyen Âge.
L'empan mnésique désigne le nombre d'éléments (en général des chiffres) que l'on peut restituer immédiatement après les avoir entendus. Une expérience classique consiste à lire une liste de chiffres, à une vitesse donnée (par exemple un par seconde) puis à demander au sujet de les restituer dans l'ordre.
l’empan désignait une unité de mesure ancienne correspondant approximativement à la largeur d’une main les doigts écartés. Il couvre la distance allant de l’extrémité du pouce à celle de l’auriculaire, soit environ 7,5 pouces (20 centimètres), et était déjà utilisé par les bâtisseurs de cathédrales.
