hahaha yes, I successfully triggered the iOS "your NFC secure element is too full, please delete some cards" UI!
for the unaware, Apple Wallet cards are really Java Card programs stored on an embedded Secure Element chip, separate from the main processor
this chip has limited storage! if you overfill it — say, by wasting $40 on TAP transit cards — it forces you to make room for more with this rarely-seen popup
I am amused by the thought that you might be the third human to ever see this pop up: the first being the programmer who made it, and the second a QA tester who verified it functions as described. 😀

China reported better-than-expected economic growth for the second quarter in the face of an ongoing trade war with the United States, as diversification efforts to non-US markets buoyed exports.
GDP expanded 5.2% in the second quarter from the same period a year earlier, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) at a press conference on Tuesday.

Years ago, when I lived in Washington DC, there was an incident on the metro when a train got stuck in a tunnel that was filling with smoke.
Metro authorities told everyone to stay in the train cars, even though they were filling with smoke and it’s generally a bad idea to stay in an enclosed space filling with smoke. Metro also has evacuation instructions posted by every door.
An elderly woman eventually did die from smoke inhalation. More people had to be treated for smoke inhalation.
And I recall getting into an argument in, like, the comments section of an article on Popville about how *you should not stay in an enclosed space filling with smoke because you will eventually die.*
And a number of other people chastised me for saying this, because People In Authority had told everyone to stay put and it could have been very dangerous to open the doors and evacuate. Someone might have died!
But someone literally did die from following those instructions.
I routinely think about this essay, about the sinking of the ferry Estonia in the 1990s, which made a huge impression on me and which I’ve plugged before:
“People who started early and moved fast had some chance of winning. People who started late or hesitated for any reason had no chance at all. Action paid. Contemplation did not. The mere act of getting dressed was enough to condemn people to death, and although many of those who escaped to the water succumbed to the cold, most of the ultimate winners endured the ordeal completely naked or in their underwear. The survivors all seem to have grasped the nature of this race…”
In this particular case, the disaster unfolded so quickly and dramatically that there was no real chance for people in authority to tell people to stay put. But they were also of little to no help to anyone else.
When you sense that you are in danger, listen to that sense and act to protect yourself and anyone else around you who is willing to listen. Do not wait for orders. Do not worry about appearing embarrassed about overreacting. Trust yourself and take action.
One of the worst maritime disasters in European history took place in 1994. It remains very much in the public eye. On a stormy night on the Baltic Sea, more than 850 people lost their lives when a luxurious ferry sank below the waves.
All of this came to mind when I read about the disastrous flooding at Camp Mystic in Texas on 4 July. The camp had been built in a flood plain. Its owners knew this and had deliberately sought and received zoning exemptions to build buildings that were unsafe. They had received flash flood warnings that night and waited more than an hour before taking any action to evacuate their children at the camp.
“As the water encroached, the teenage counselors, cut off from others, were left to make frantic life-and-death decisions.”
27 campers and counselors died that night, and six more are still missing. You cannot rely on systems and structures of authority to help you in an emergency. You must trust your judgment. Act and act fast.
Hierarchical authority relies on stable and predictable systems to work. They require an environment that is legible to the people in positions of authority. They require clear communication of orders down the hierarchical chain.
None of that exists in a genuine emergency, especially one that affects people in authority and their subordinates equally. And, critically, for those systems of authority to work in ways that might be useful to you, they require people in power to have better judgment than you about your own immediate circumstances, and they require people in power to care as much about you as they do about themselves.
In short, act as if no one is coming to save you or the people next to you.
For Californians- If Cal-Fire tells you to evacuate, go! They do know what they are doing, and they really hate finding burnt corpses. Your property is not worth your life.
@c_merriweather But, if they haven't told you to evacuate but you think you should and have the means to do so, it's probably a good idea to get out early before there's an order. Similarly if the government doesn't require you to wear a mask in a setting but you think there's a good chance of catching a disease or being harmed by wildfire smoke there, go ahead and wear the mask instead of worrying about who won't think you're compliant enough.
Cal-Fire issues precautionary evacuation orders far ahead of time. In rural areas, they want people out of the way and off of the roads, so they can get their equipment to the fire.
I have been in two evacuations, so far. Been there.
@c_merriweather @PedestrianError I know people who lost everything in deadly freeway-jumping, neighborhood-annihilating wildfires that moved so fast there was no time for evacuation orders to go out.
Especially now that the various emergency monitoring and response services are getting cut willy nilly, don't count on getting warnings.
It's probably worth noting that this was a conservative Christian all girls' camp. The teenage counselors were not only minors but minors who had been socialized to see themselves as second class citizens not cut out to lead or take decisive action. Training them to wait for 'God' or his representative in the form of a man to save them helped kill them and the younger children with them.
this reminds me of a concert I attended recently, where the fire alarm system went off during the start of the show... nobody was sure what was happening, the show was occurring on the 4th floor of a large building, I'd estimate only about 10% of the audience got up and reacted to the alarm (which sounded for about 15 minutes straight before authorities made a statement of false alarm)
I can't help thinking about what would have happened if it wasn't a false alarm... if there was really a fire only the people who left early would have had a chance of making it out alive, the rest likely would have just been burned up in a tall building fire because they sat around ignoring the fire alarms waiting for a statement tbh
to make this worse, most of the audience happened to be elderly people who would struggle to escape in a rush too
Note that in the Metro situation, if it is the tunnel not the train filling with smoke things get more complex. It is the tunnel from which you must either escape or move far enough within to get upwind or out of range of the smoke.
The train car itself may or may not hold off the smoke, but if you wait in it until it gets too smoky it will then be even worse in the tunnel.
The final complication is this: if the train still has 3ed rail power Metro will presumably try to back it out of the smoke. Metro really needs to tell passengers right quick in these scenarios whether that will be attempted or not. If it works, its the best way out of the smoke for everyone. If it cannot be done passengers need to know fast.
I think about this lately from a bit of a longer perspective. I'm always depressed because I think the world is ending, but I still work and pay off my mortgage and prepare to retire. I have been thinking that I might be more at peace if I stopped worrying about fiscal stuff if I really believe that we have maybe a decade before most societies collapse.
(Like in your Estonia example me worrying about my 401k is like someone worrying about putting clothes on before jumping in the water.)
No no Ben this is your story of truth. In collaboration with the CCP renowned for their willingness to share accurate data with the western world. Do tell us more Ben.
You are willing to bet your life that zero mining took place in China 2022-2023? I will take the other side of that bet. Seems highly illogical. No one has real data on China and you know this. Unless you are a moron?
Well they did. And bitcoin mining went from 70% of the world share to invisible on the graph in three years. And I explained that to you when you didn’t understand. And I invited you to supply evidence to the contrary and you declined. So if I’m the moron here I’m not sure what adjective is left for you.
No Ben the year is 2025. You couldn't supply any current data on the amount of mining in China today so you showcased a small subset of data from 22-23 and purported that the data was empirical on a nation where it is impossible do so. You are the height of intellectual dishonesty aka a fucking moron.

"Indeed, one of the strangest things about the Epstein case is that it's the rare instance in which right-wing conspiratorialists care about actual people, rather than imaginary ones."
@pluralistic Care about actual people? Not really. I hear a lot of talk about the list and who's on it, not much about the victims and making life better for them. That's true for both MAGA and anti-Trump voices.
One thing that struck me many years ago about "conservatives" is that they don't ever want the government to do anything that doesn't somehow involve hurting people. Possibly people who deserved to be hurt, but the hurting was the important bit.
@cptbutton Yea - there is (or at least was about 20 years ago), a lot of talk about "conservative morality". Jonathan Haidt et al.
There is no Conservative morality. It is just a set of rationalisations for cruelty - more often than not against their own people.
I was constantly bleating on about "You guys are demanding that the same punishments handed down by the IMF in South America in the 80s be imposed on yourself as though it's some sort of moral imperative". Well. Here we are.
@cptbutton Conservatives are fundamentally broken people.
From the very foundation of the ideology. Preserve the shitfuckery and dont move forward, to as you say, hurt people.
My observation about conservatives. As insightful as yours that I would like to share, is that, Conservatives do not look at the whole picture.
They never try to encompas the entirity of an issue, but focus on a specific, isolated aspect of it. This gives them the ability to retrofit whatever fucked up reasoning they desire onto it, to justify it.
If we survive this stage in our development. We will develop vaccines for conservativism. Identify the afflicted children at pre-school level. And cure them.
a lot of the everyday people are far more worried about the enigmatic and generic "children" affected by pedophilia instead of the actual, very real and specific people affected by it. Because by now, they are adults and it's harder to care about them.
agree. It's similar to the anti-choice stance. Nebulous voiceless children and foetuses are easy to pretend caring about. They ask nothing of you. You feel you're automatically correct.
Yet, instead of protecting any real children from real child abusers - in the home, in churches, in schools and sport - they make stuff up. Pizzagate. And then they ignore the fact that their main guy was pals with a known, actual child abuse facilitator.

Verse 1 How can you say that you're not responsible? What does it have to do with me? What is my reaction, what should it be? Confronted by this latest atrocity
Chorus Driven to tears
Verse 2 Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat My comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow meaningless party Seems that when some innocents die All we can offer them is a page in some magazine Too many cameras and not enough food 'Cause this is what we've seen
Chorus Driven to tears
Bridge Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through What's to become of our world, who knows what to do
Try telling that to almost every western country right now. Almost without exception they all believe that if that just intervene a little bit harder everything will turn around.
The west is utterly consumed by so much mind rot right now. I'm convinced that there is a huge mental hangover from COVID that no one can see.
@verita84 Are any of your proxmox servers 6th gen intel 4 core cpu? I have one with i5 6500 and the best cpu upgrade it supports is i7 7700 4c/8t. Nice boost to increase cores and average price on ebay is $50. Otherwise this pc is a bummer only having 4 cores.

I have a couple towers and micros around the house running plasma. We use them for mpd clients, watching movies, emulation, etc. I do have one tower I use as the main file server. It has 32tb in it. I have another duplicate tower that's the backup.
My kids actually use i3wm in their rooms, but plasma is easier to use when using kdeconnect to control from across the room as compared to having a keyboard in my lap.
I got a raspberry pi or three on similar duties. But my collection of obsolete yet functional junk continues to grow. I am pretty sure most of these things are pretty much space heaters, though. And raising the electric bill further is a little bit unappealing to consider. Still though...
Oh no, that's stupid. Yeah if I ever put in solar, I'm gonna have a roofer put in the rails, then maybe mount the panels myself, and just have the electrician show up and connect the wires at the junction box.
Oh fuck lol, I would put ANYONE in the trades on a roof before I'd put an electrician. My father used to be an electrician, I know electricians real well. Even asking an electrician to do electrical work is asking a lot, but if you want them to do NON-electrical work, shit's not gonna end well for you.
When I was a kid, we used to show up on jobs and you'd have like a water pump and the wire was already pulled right up to the pump, 3 wires here, 3 wires there, connect them together and turn on the breaker.
That's when the general contractor knows what he's doing. You only ask the bare minimum from the guy who gets paid 3x as much and only wants to work on when it's not too hot, not too cold, not raining, etc...
The problem is that it doesn't work in reverse. Roofers can't install solar to the extent electrical work is required.
Honestly, state policy is fucked six ways to Sunday when it comes to solar. Yard sprinkers are more tightly regulated.
Plus, I'll tell you, contracts are cheap. Real deals get done on trust and relationships, even if there's a contract in the middle. Dealing in business with someone you don't know and who doesn't have a reputation to maintain in the community is a huge risk.
> Roofers can't install solar to the extent electrical work is required.
Yeah so what you do is you have roofers install everything up to getting the wire into the attic (or outdoor junction box), then you have a *trusted* electrician come in, snake the wire to the main panel, and sign off on all of the work as his own. It's the only way it can work.
