I was listening to The Bezzle by @pluralistic in my car recently. I have to say: Will Wheaton as narrator is just great. He makes a 2 hour drive enjoyable. Quite a feat considering I usually am not very fond of driving. Well done. Great story too. Bit sad, but good. I can't wait listening to Picks and Shovels.

Quotes

  • 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.

Japanese minister resigns after saying he doesn’t buy rice because he gets it free


Japan’s agriculture minister has resigned after saying he never buys rice because he gets it free, a remark that drew public fury in a country facing soaring food prices.

Taku Etō’s resignation has added to pressure on the prime minister, Shigeru Ishiba, whose failure to rein in soaring rice prices and address a wider cost of living crisis has angered voters ahead of upper house elections in July.

“Just now I submitted my resignation to prime minister Ishiba,” Etō told reporters at the prime minister’s office.

Etō had faced calls for his resignation after claiming that he never had to buy rice, relying instead on gifts from supporters.

Etō had initially sympathised with the “hardship” felt by consumers after the government released about 300,000 tons of rice from emergency stockpiles earlier this year in the hope of bringing down prices. But speaking at a fundraiser last weekend, Etō said he had “never bought rice myself because my supporters donate so much to me that I can practically sell it”.

One year of streaming


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?

[Solved] How to get fan sensors working?


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

Edit: I have a semi-solution.

sudo modprobe it87 force_id=0x8688 ignore_resource_conflict=1

...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!

The Legend of Chief Shannon Kent

coffeeordie.com/article/shanno…

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 ...

in reply to HunDriverWidow

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.”

An EXTREMELY Simple Guide to Mastodon


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!):

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.
