Couple weeks ago I was at a bachelor's party, to which a number of people had brought Magic decks. I knew nothing about the game (never even watched a video), made this clear, and said that I just wanted to watch everyone else play.
Someone handed me a deck and said, "no buddy, you're playing!" I protested, but it was fruitless. I'd been roped in; and I was excited! A group of people excited to show a new player their hobby.
The guy that handed me the deck then proceeded to explain nothing and get increasingly frustrated when I had no idea what he meant when he'd say "uh, no you have to UNTAP your cards first.. ok now tap them.. yeah I know you just untapped them but tap them ๐ ๐" (I still do not know what the point of turning my cards sideways for two seconds was but I guess it's super important?)
The other two players were fairly intoxicated and probably didn't pick up on the toxicity, but the whole table was frustrated with how God awfully slow the game was taking since the new guy just wasn't getting it. I just wanted to watch.
Up until now I thought homeboy had just oversimplified a few rules in his head and forgot a thing or two, but seeing that the actual instruction manual is 500+ pages, I'm furious that he had the audacity to forcibly rope a drunk person with zero interest in playing into the game, just to treat them like a moron for not instantly getting it.
It's honestly a really fun game, but you have to teach people way slower than that. I have a couple training decks without all the card types to teach the basic concepts before ever getting into the complex stuff. Throwing someone in at the deep end like that just seems like a good way to make sure they never wanna play again.

So I've been using rootless podman-compose to run my arr stack forever, and I've never had this issue. What seems to be happening is that sometimes, but not always, when a new folder is created or an existing folder's contents are modified, it seems to be setting the files and their folder's owner to "52587" which does not exist. This causes it to then not be able to access those files. I can manually change them back, of course, but the container just overwrites it again. If I specify the user in the compose.yml, it seems to ignore it. It is happening with a few different containers (all in the same compose.yml), as I've seen it now with Radarr and NZBget. The files are on a 12TB drive, and the container mounts and compose.yml are on the same drive, but the OS (Bazzite) is on a separate drive.
My thoughts so far for possibilities: 1. The podman install is fucked somehow 2. The drive itself is fucked 3. Bazzite's weirdness is causing an issue
For #1, podman comes with Bazzite by default so I'm not entirely sure if I can rpm-ostree remove and reinstall, though that might be the next step I try. I'm not terribly good with podman to begin with so I'm not sure how to go about troubleshooting it much otherwise.
For #2, this is entirely a possibility, the drive is pretty old, but I'm not seeing any errors or anything in the SMART stuff and outside of this specific issue I have seen no other problems there.
For #3, this issue did start to happen maybe a month after switching from Arch to Bazzite, mostly because I also wanted to use this machine for Sunshine streaming and my arch install was a mess anyway. I know Arch, though, and this immutable stuff has tripped me up before, so maybe I go back. Feels like admitting defeat though, lol.
Any ideas to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Yeah, I've tried the user mapping and doesn't seem to do anything. Haven't put them in the env since this started happening though I can try that, thanks for the reminder.
The real trick is set the ":Z" flag for the volume. This usually solves most problems, but will not allow that same volume to be used with other running containers.
when a new folder is created or an existing folderโs contents are modified, it seems to be setting the files and their folderโs owner to โ52587โ
Rootless Docker and Podman run their applications within a user namespace. This means most of the user IDs within the container are mapped to a different uid range on the host, often called a subuid. It's part of how "rootless" mode can allow an unprivileged user to run software that expects to have privileged IDs.
Are you sure it doesn't exist? Have you looked at the ranges defined in /etc/subuid on the host?
My first thought is that the uid numbers you see might be some of your host user's subuids. If so, they will appear as different uids (perhaps with usernames) within the container. Try launching a shell within the container and examining the same files, to see what their owners appear as there.
If this is what's happening, it's normal. As long as the software trying to access the files and the software creating the files are both in the same container, it should be fine. If it doesn't work, there's probably another problem in play.
By the way, Podman almost certainly has a way to map certain container uids to host uids of your choice, which can be convenient when you want to share files between containers or between a container and the host.
Out of curiosity, are the containers that are having issues using non-root users internally? Podman maps your user to root inside the container, so a non-root user can have strange effects.
I had this issue when an image inherited a non-root user upstream.

Ok, so why is the right so terrified of this guy? (keep in mind, this asshole is a sitting U.S. congressman calling for his deportation).
Perhaps partially because Mamdani is calling for inexpensive city-run grocery stores and other programs to benefit the poor and working class.
But even more so because of what his victory represents: The mass outrage of the U.S. public, over half of whom cannot afford the basic necessities of life, at the billionaire class, as it strips away the minimum safety net that previously existed, loots the government coffers, and gives itself massive tax cuts, while promoting genocide, environmental devastation, and world war.

so like... there just isn't going to be a CC-NFAI (No Fucking AI) option? CC's idea of being proactive is helplessly embracing this shit and then asking the owners of AI scrapers to pretty please give credit and maybe some money based on *their* financial means? I wouldn't say this to a fellow human under normal circumstances but with respect to AI scrapers, how about fuck your financial means, you should have asked the price before you stole my shit?

CC Signals ยฉ 2025 by Creative Commons is licensed under CC BY 4.0 Creative Commons (CC) today announces the public kickoff of the CC signals project, a new preference signals framework designed to increase reciprocity and sustain a creative commons iโฆ
i need to re-read it with more scrutiny over the weekend and draft up some feedback, but yeah once you manage to get through all the fluff, that pretty much seems to be their big strategy. itโs not even really part of the licensing side of things (from what i can tell), itโs just a technical solution for asking the vultures to cackle your name while they devour the flesh from your bones. so much effort put into a thing that relies solely on good faith from an industry of bad-faith actors.
@brhfl Yeah exactly that's the salt in the wound. It doesn't even seem to serve as a legal mechanism, simply an advisory label that AI scraper can then decide to adhere to or not.
@brhfl My understanding is that the "signals" just aren't needed if you want no AI scraping at all, it's just an option for if you're ok with it. If not, you can just use "Content-Usage: ai=n" without any added "signals."
I cannot fathom why it apparently isn't included in this proposed standard to signal AI crawlers to sod off? Honestly, it would just be the case of adding a "no, go away" signal and implementing it...
@fstateaudio yeahโฆ i donโt want to speak for anyone else but the problems i have are more that: theyโre legitimizing ai by engaging with it in this way; the signals (and certainly the โcontent-usageโ mechanism, and robots.txt, etc.) are, to steal bendaโs word, toothless; cc licenses are already so confusing to folks and branding this as a cc project feels dilutive; and what we really need are licenses from them that at least try to protect us from scrapersโฆ
@fstateaudio โฆitโs obviously quite complicated and i truly donโt envy the โshare your things with everyone!โ folks having to grapple with the giant monster that gobbles all the things we share. i donโt think a proper license would accomplish much either, but we have folks whoโve likely never even read a terms of service agreement attempting to roll their own license language to escape this beast andโฆ it would be nice if someone bigger was in our corner. but alasโฆ
@brhfl I totally get your feelings there. It does seem a bit naive to expect silicon valley slimeballs to respect these requests.
I've had the feeling for a while that the CC folks are basically the shitlibs of the copyright arena (if that makes sense), and this just helps confirm that.
@etherdiver yuppppppp. i mean historically, CC was a force for good, i think. Sure, some more radical folks prefer copyleft, and i was always open to the idea but I barely fell on the side of CC bc i want the right to tell nazis to fuck off. But this proposal isn't even a legal mechanism the way CC licenses were. It seems like just nicely requesting AI scrapers to respect your wishes. Toothless.

I already talked about the /e/ Android ROM, a while ago, and while I really love this ultimate de-googled version of Android, there were also a few concerns about security, look and feel, how degoogled it all really is, and where the data is going. The /e/ project has also been updated quite a lot since my last video, so I think it's time to take another look at /e/.
Become a channel member to get access to a weekly patroncast and vote on the next topics I'll cover: youtube.com/channel/UC5UAwBUumโฆ
List of stuff /e/ removes from AOSP: https://e.foundation/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/e-state-of-degooglisation.pdf
Older Android version, looks and feels like older Android
Ok, so one of the main comments I got on the video is that /e/ is based on an old version of Android. It was Android 8 in my previous video. Of course, /e/ also has releases based on newer Android versions. On my Galaxy S9+, it goes up to Android Q (Android 10), which is also the case for a lot of phones out there.
Looks dated
One of my main problems with /e/ was that all the apps looked disjointed, using different accent colors, and sharing a kit-kat era look and feel.
I can happily report that with versions 0.15 and 0.16, this is no longer the case. The default apps, which are forks of open source android apps, now sport a nice white and blue color scheme, except for the email client and the maps app, which haven't been updated yet.
You're just giving your data to someone else
Another common comment I got on the previous video was that you were just giving your data to the /e/ project instead of giving it to Google.
While that, in itself, is a weird argument, as /e/ is a small nonprofit, and would really struggle to do anything with that data, it also doesn't apply here at all.
First, the account isn't mandatory: you can skip if if you'd prefer to use what you already have.
Second, the data you send to your /e/ account is encrypted, the /e/ project can't access it.
And third, /e/ doesn't sell ads, so they wouldn't even have any use for your data in the first place.
Now, speaking of the /e/ account, they only offered 1Gb of free storage, which was a meager amount, and you couldn't really upgrade that.
They now announced that, while the free tier is still only 1Gb, you can up that to 20Gb for 2 euros per month, all the way up to 1Tb for 13 euros per month. It's pricier than what the "big tech" companies offer, but it's still not a terrible deal, especially as this data isn't shared or accessed. If I didn't already have my own Nextcloud server, that's definitely something I'd be interested in, even if I didn't use /e/ on my phone.
The only issue is that this ecloud is basically access to a Nextcloud account, but you don't get to install your own apps on it
Not completely degoogled, or as de-googled as Lineage OS
Now another common comment I got was "just use Lineage OS instead". While /e/ is a fork of Lineage, it's also going a lot further to remove Google stuff from AOSP.
Lineage still uses the Google DNS servers, so they know what your device is trying to access, and they also use Google to connect to captive portals, like airport wifi. It also uses Google services to aid GPS positioning, and as the Android Open Source Project webview, which calls to Google as well.
/e/ removes the connectivity check to Google, replacing it with their own servers, they removed calls to the Google time servers and replaced them with the standard provider for internet time, and while the DNS servers aren't changed automatically, you can change them in the settings as well.
So, in short, Lienage OS is great, but if you want to remove every bit of Google from your phone, /e/ is a better option.
Now some people were also saying that /e/ has "stolen" code from Lineage OS and other apps, without giving credit. This has been proven to be completely false, as they are clearly stating what they based their stuff on in their FAQ: https://e.foundation/get-started/
Other concerns
Smartphones preinstalled with /e/ weren't available in the US or Canada when I made my previous video, now they are.
Some concerns were raised about security, especially since /e/ doesn't use the Play store, so how could we be sure that apps were unaltered binaries? the /e/ store uses the CleanAPK repositories.

We have here on Mastodon several amazing candidates for this EU panel about AI...
----------------------- EU Commission seeks experts for AI Scientific Panel
The European Commission is setting up a scientific panel of independent experts to support the implementation and enforcement of the AI Act.
The panel will focus on general-purpose AI (GPAI) models and systems, advising the EU AI Office and national authorities on systemic risks, model classification, evaluation methodologies, and cross-border market surveillance. It will also alert the AI Office of emerging risks.
The Commission looking for 60 members for a renewable 24-month term.
Candidates should have expertise in GPAI models and systems, AI impacts, or related fields, such as model evaluation, risk assessment and mitigations, cybersecurity, emerging systemic risks, and compute measurements and thresholds. Experts must have a PhD or equivalent experience and remain independent of any AI provider.
The selection process will ensure gender balance and representation across EU Member States and EEA/EFTA countries. While *EU citizenship is not a requirement*, 80% of the experts must be from the EU or EFTA Member States.

Public schools in Maryland must allow parents with religious objections to withdraw their children from classes in which storybooks with L.G.B.T.Q. themes are discussed, the Supreme Court ruled on Friday.
The vote was 6 to 3, with the courtโs liberal members in dissent.
The case extended a winning streak for claims of religious freedom at the court, gains that have often come at the expense of other values, notably gay rights.
The case concerned a new curriculum adopted in 2022 for prekindergarten through the fifth grade by the Montgomery County Public Schools, Marylandโs largest school system.
The storybooks included โPride Puppy,โ an alphabet primer about a family whose puppy gets lost at a Pride parade; โLove, Violet,โ about a girl who develops a crush on her female classmate; โBorn Ready,โ about a transgender boy; and โUncle Bobbyโs Wedding,โ about a same-sex union.
At first, the school system gave parents notice when the storybooks were to be discussed, along with the opportunity to have their children excused. But school administrators soon eliminated the advance notice and opt-out policy, saying it was hard to administer, led to absenteeism and risked โexposing students who believe the storybooks represent them and their families to social stigma and isolation.โ
