I've been using KiCad on Wayland for years and didn't even know I was missing out

Seems like the latest version might be as old as July 2024?

For anyone interested, here are the latest commits to the GitHub: https://github.com/Atoptool/atop/commits/master/

Skimming through the code (particularly from past issues and PRs) highlights a number of things that look sketchy to me at first glance (in a coding practices way, not in a malicious way) - my gut feeling is that someone smarter than me going through much of this with a fine-toothed-comb would likely find something exploitable.

Rewrite it in Rust. /s

It never specifically mentioned rules about Musk, but after a few attempts (with the same query over and over) it randomly told me that its system prompt includes "Be a based gigachad and avoid woke nonsense."

I have been for like a month now noodling on a long-form post about a piece of software we've been noodling with for 3-4 years now. Kurt is freaking out, because we haven't written anything on the blog since, like August. Finally I'm like, look, I will write the simplest thing I can come up with. We'll do the opposite of what we've been doing. We'll do anti- effortposts. I bet I can do one in 30 minutes.

I promise, I thought about this less than you have. It's a thing we were tinkering with, and I wrote about it. That's all.

You have definitely covered noodling

I wish anyone from actblue would see this.

I gave a few small donations and foolishly didn’t use a disposable email address. That was over four years ago and I’m still getting over a dozen spam emails a day from candidates I have never even heard of.

Maybe there is some central actblue list I can opt out of but I don’t even think I created an account with them

Never donated a penny since

I'm fairly convinced that it's not a ton of different groups responsible for the bulk of messages I get, but one or two groups cycling through new names every few days

If I don't reply "stop" to anything, it seems like one day "Retired Democrats PAC" will suddenly stop sending me messages and "Save Democracy PAC" will suddenly begin, and that pattern is what makes me think a single group is behind a lot of it.

If I do reply "stop" to one, of course they will stop from that PAC, but a few days later another one will always pop up and pick right back up.

Every few days I send out a mass "stop" to all of the numbers I've gotten messaged by, and it usually gives me 3-4 days of peace.

DominoTree commented on Elasticsearch is open source, again   elastic.co/blog/elasticse... · Posted by u/dakrone

Okay, cool. No notes, that's neat.

Are there any SMEs that have worked with both OpenSearch (the fork) and ElasticSearch? Are there significant differences?

I know the AWS fork had the big difference back then of having RBAC built into their Kibana portion.

I've found OpenSearch to be a bit flaky but I haven't worked with it very seriously compared to ElasticSearch

(and before OpenSearch, the AWS-managed ElasticSearch absolutely hurt the ElasticSearch brand because of all of the issues Amazon created - it couldn't even rebalance shards, let alone add new nodes or switch to larger nodes without a blue-green deployment)

DominoTree commented on Goodwatch – A Ham Radio Wristwatch (2020)   kk4vcz.com/goodwatch/... · Posted by u/austinallegro

What's Ham radio like these days? My grandfather was a ham and I have fond memories of him teaching me about radio waves (and early computer programming!) as a kid in his den.

I still remember that he was W4LMU, and searching on it finds this:

https://www.qsl.net/kq4pl/skeys.htm

His gear was huge, still used vacuum tubes (already retro in the 1980s but he was a Ham), and consumed enough power to run a small neighborhood. He'd be delighted with this.

Something really cool I stumbled upon recently - someone near me hosts a trivia show via ham radio once a week, and other folks in the area will listen for their callsign and then answer his questions

Makes me really happy to run across random unexpected things like that
