So this old 'puter was recently upgraded to #NetBSD -current as of 2025-06-25. Turned out that someone had snuck in a new feature in the kernel that invokes the rdtsc
instruction - too bad that one only exists on Pentiums and up!
Darned snobs with their fancy, modern hardware didn't pick up on this. But, like so few times before: Larry to the rescue!
.. Well actually, the NetBSD crew on IRC to the rescue. Within no time at all I had a patched kernel running. Awesome. The 486 ain't dead!

“The ongoing offensive against Iran is a joint US-Israeli effort. Israel’s task has been to 'soften' the military targets and initiate regime change operations by 'taking down' Iran’s critical infrastructure, nuclear facilities, military and political elites, and scientific leaders. The US has fostered these goals by deceptive diplomacy, intelligence, arms transfers, and financing.
[...]
To neocon hawks, Iran is the ultimate prize, but a fragmented and balkanized Iran.”

The offensive against Iran is not about nuclear weapons. It is about Iran’s abundant oil and gas reserves. It is a joint effort to overthrow Iranian leaders to restore pre-1979 rule.Dr Dan Steinbock (TRT Global)

@chanon Telling you straight up: unless you are stocking gold and diamonds you aren't going to get hit.
No one is going to know what the fuck to do with color gems. Pawn won't give you shit for them because they can't flip it.
Anyone experienced enough to hit a store knows they need to move what they take. You don't hit a store that is going to leave you with a ton of shit you can't flip and is easily identifiable because it's exotic.

They couldn’t be blamed.
When Fru-Fru whelped a litter sired by Darling that included a blue, white, & gold puppy, the breeders were floored. The parents were champion blue and tan Yorkshire Terriers that Werner & Gertrude Biewer had bred before. No previous litters had ever produced a tricolor puppy, and this one came out of nowhere. The Biewers had no way of knowing at the time that the puppy they would name “Snowflake” was the product of two parents who carried the recessive piebald gene.
All right: This particular dog is TOO cute.
We can't have a dog right now and I WANT one of these.
Most importantly, the studies found that Biewers have healthy genetic diversity.
I love concluding with dramatic flair. The club resubmitted its application for recognition, now armed with the Mars Veterinary DNA study and additional genetic results.After reviewing the DNA evidence and the club’s revised breed history, the AKC accepted the Biewer Terrier.
The Biewer Terrier became the first to be recognized as a purebred as a result of a genetic study.

Got myself a Dell Latitude ~~E4310~~ E6410 and Thinkpad T510 for free, both with discrete Nvidia graphics soldered to the mainboard. I've installed Linux on them and just went with the nouveau driver since the proprietary Nvidia driver for such old cards is no longer in the Debian 12 repo. Not going to do anything cutting edge on them, but it does leave me wondering:
EDIT
Answering myself after going down a rabbit hole with the T510:
/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate
(I did not try to) and I suspect that this is what kneecaps 3D performance. There should be a marked difference, but I won't be doing any serious work on these machines, so I'm leaving everything as-is.
One thing to keep in mind about older versions of the nvidia proprietary drivers is that they will only work with specific kernel versions (and specific X versions—not sure about Wayland). Once the driver series your card needs stops being updated, you can't update your kernel without patching the driver. Assuming you have the skills to patch the driver, or someone who does makes their patches public.
I went through this song-and-dance with a very old laptop that had a card of the NV40 generation as its only GPU (no integrated graphics). Eventually I did install nouveau on it, and used it for several years without any issues.

I think in a truly free market where anyone can create any video game using any franchise without being restricted by IP laws, live service games would be harder to sell because they would have to compete with non-live service games of the same franchise.
Why play the online only Diablo 3 by Blizzard when someone else can create their own Diablo that is playable offline?
Granted, it wouldn't be a perfect solution. There would probably still be some games as a service and some of them will pull the plug without providing any means to play offline/with dedicated servers, but a true free market without IP laws would probably make the situation better than it is now.
@beardalaxy
>it is much easier to get the government to force companies to do right by the consumer (which is NOT EVEN THAT HARD BTW) than it is to just let them take away games that people have paid for and provide no alternate solution
Sure, but this assumes that the government cares about you, and that they care about video games. Most video game industry regulations these days only occur because a lot of aspects of the modern game industry like lootboxes can be considered "gambling". I don't know if politicians care about "preserving art".
>even going as far as putting legal on their asses when they try to do stuff like reverse engineering servers and getting money for their efforts
That's not a free market.

Is your sofa showing signs of wear? Sofa upholstery can transform it without the need for a new purchase. But reupholstering is a complex task, and DIY isn't always the best approach. Here's when to hire a professional for a quality, lasting result.
Start by inspecting your sofa's frame. If it's not creaky, wobbly, or sagging, it's a great candidate for reupholstering. A sturdy frame with fresh fabric can feel like a new sofa at a fraction of the cost.
But reupholstering requires taking the sofa apart and putting it back together, which demands tools and skill. A professional can deliver a polished, durable result.
Verdict: If the frame is solid but the fabric's worn, professional sofa upholstery is often the way to go.
Some sofas have a unique charm—maybe a retro style or a shape that fits your room perfectly. If replacing it isn't an option, reupholstering can bring it back to life.
Preserving that design requires precision. A pro can ensure even padding, tight corners, and clean lines. A DIY job might leave you with lumpy cushions or a look that doesn't match the original.
Typing "cheap sofa upholstery" into a search engine might seem like a budget-friendly move, but bargain options often mean low-quality materials or sloppy work.
Quality upholstery includes strong foam, durable springs, and precise stitching. Pros can offer cost-saving options, like letting you provide the fabric or reusing existing padding, to keep costs manageable.
Tip: Request quotes from multiple upholsterers and ask about budget-friendly packages.
Reupholstering a sofa is a big job. It involves removing old fabric, cutting and sewing new material, and handling details like zippers or button tufting. Sofas are also heavy and awkward to maneuver.
A small project like a chair seat might be manageable, but a full sofa can quickly overwhelm a DIYer. Without experience, it's easy to end up with a messy result.
Started a reupholstery project and hit a snag? Maybe the fabric's misaligned or the cushions don't fit right. Upholstery is a skilled trade, and mistakes happen.
Professionals can often salvage a partial job or start over. Don't let a frustrating DIY keep you from a great sofa.
If your sofa is in a busy spot—like a family room or rental—it needs to withstand heavy use. Professionals use high-quality materials and techniques to ensure the upholstery lasts.
A DIY job might look fine initially, but if it wears out fast, you'll spend more fixing it later. Quality sofa upholstery is a smart investment.
DIY upholstery can be fine if:
But if the sofa matters or you want a polished result, go with a pro.
Some upholstery projects are DIY-friendly, but for complex or cherished pieces, a professional is often the better choice. Don't just hunt for cheap sofa upholstery—look for quality and value that will stand the test of time.
A well-upholstered sofa can transform your space, so make the choice that delivers the best results.

War and genocide are the most brutal means in the fight for control over resources, territories, and people. They are always accompanied by the presumption to justify the mass destruction of human lives, displacement, collective traumatization, and unleashed destruction.
This presumption is at the core of the logic of war we are confronted with in our context and the increasing militarization, which is concretely expressed in Germany’s active participation in various wars – for example, as one of the largest arms exporters worldwide. It forms the basis of Germany’s “raison d’état” to support the genocide in Gaza and the inhumane politics of the Israeli state against the Palestinian population. It is also openly reflected in “Operation Prosperity Guardian” – NATO bombarding western trade routes in Yemen.
In the deadly proxy war in Sudan, where tens of thousands are dying and millions are fleeing, largely unnoticed by the “Western world”. And it is embedded in the propaganda of “military readiness” here, which has prevailed since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. We are witnessing an impressive revival of Cold War rhetoric. A propaganda that leads to military rearmament on a massive scale in a very short time and the militarization and takeover of various civilian and societal structures by the Bundeswehr.
It will eventually lead to the reinstatement of (compulsory) military service sooner or later.
Fire against Liberal Coldness! The condition for a societal climate in which all these atrocities can be accepted as inevitable, as unavoidable, is the dehumanization of those who must suffer through war, genocide, and displacement. It is not just about a psychological mechanism to prevent losing one’s mind in the face of these horrors. In the devaluation and dehumanization of a large part of the global population, the continuity of colonial thinking and actions is revealed.
This brought about, through war and subjugation, the dominance of the so-called Western world and bourgeois society. War and subjugation remain the means by which this dominance is maintained. Ignorance towards the killing and domination of people is widespread throughout German society. We are witnessing a version of “reason” that, cold and unempathic, allows human lives to be devalued as “others” and separates this from one’s own existence. In this way, the status quo of a society where the dead are walked over to secure one’s own prosperity is upheld.
The militaristic brutality is in full swing! Fire of Solidarity!
These flames are for those who fight against their dehumanization and for their survival. These flames are also for those who doubt, who cannot remain calm in the face of these circumstances, who do not want to comply, obey, and function. For those who dream and fight for a different, more solidaristic world without states, borders, and militaries.
These flames are for Maja, who has been on hunger strike since June 5th in prison in Budapest, charged for consistent antifascism – your determination and solidarity are our drive and inspiration! You are not alone!
These flames are for Daniela Klette, imprisoned and currently in court for her revolutionary history, attitude, and practice – your story is part of our shared future!
These flames are for those who escape state control and prosecution, and continue our common path – love and strength!
We are right in the middle, we are part of the heart of the beast.
And we all must continually decide what role we want to play in this bloody cycle.
We have decided to contribute to the infarction. The Bundeswehr will intervene in our lives in the coming years and become a relevant player again in the authoritarian, patriarchal shaping of society. Let’s attack it on all levels! On the night of June 5th to 6th, we set fire to 5 heavy Bundeswehr vehicles at a workshop site on Carl-Benz-Strasse in Soltau.

‘In 2019, a 28-year-old Australian terrorist live-streamed himself murdering 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch New Zealand, sending shockwaves around the world. It was the deadliest act of right-wing extremist violence committed by an Australian. As journalist Joey Watson speaks with survivors and researchers, he begins to uncover a more complex story. What, or who, led the terrorist to violence? In Secrets We Keep: Lone Actor, Joey sets out to retrace the terrorist’s trajectory in the years leading up to the attack.’
