When the exec branch says to the judicial branch, 'Too bad, I don't have to listen to you.' That's a #ConstitutionalCrisis -serious threat to our democracy.

Trump, Musk, Bannon... are accusing Boasberg & other fed judges of failing to respect Trump's exec powers -critics are countering that the fed judges have every right to block EOs they consider unconstitutional. Trump/allies are🚨threatening Judge Boasberg/family.

🚨Trump defies the court order, >3 hours late.

Nazi JD Vance said he doesn't care about the courts because the courts don't have an Army. This is what Mitch McConnell. Justice Roberts, the FBI and Merrick Garland have wrought. Along with cowardice to lock Trump's up when he was a private citizen instead of differing to him as "President" when he wasn't #FuckTrumpNaziParty

It is mob mentality.

The problem is: What are you going to do about it?

Again, I feel like I'm missing something. How, in the LSM world, is there no built-in way for a smoke detector to set off the fire alarm?

There's add on 'endpoint protection' systems that can notice log activity and react automatically, but that's an after the fact reaction by an outside program, not something built in to the kernel as an inescapable trap ready to spring shut the moment it's needed.

(Some of them are open source. The others are expensive enterpriseware. Quality ... varies.)

in reply to Chris Siebenmann

@cks That's my experience as well, that bolted-on endpoint-IDS is usually more vulnerable than a well-configured-but-stock OS and more trouble than it's worth.

*Why not just autocratically rename New York State as "Trumpsylvania"
in reply to Bruce Sterling @bruces

The current shitbags in the US #Federal government can't even define #respect.

Reminder: Washington needs New York much, much more than New York needs Washington.

in reply to Bruce Sterling @bruces

I'm confident that NY sends more federal tax dollars to Washington than it receives in federal aid. Maybe NY should just keep any federal tax revenue that offsets any cuts in federal funding?

Yet another #Tesla recall:

Tesla Recalls Cybertrucks Over Pieces of Trim Coming Loose - Bloomberg bloomberg.com/news/articles/20…

in reply to Laffy

But they just sold 8,600 vehicles nationwide, resulting in $43 million in government rebates. All reported from 3 or 4 dealerships in a 3 day period, and it’s such a good car for Canada snowy winters. It’s not like a Swasticar gets stuck in 3 inches of snow… 🤣 🤣 🤣 youtu.be/lfGDTAqteeA?si=Y_Xyby… (the vid is about the sales not the poor design btw)

This is why I favor protests at Tesla dealerships but not destroying the cars. They'll brick themselves anyway, so why bother?
in reply to Nazani

@Nazani We need to not give them an excuse to impose marshal law. Violence isn’t the solution. Plus Tesla still makes stupid money and he has even stupider money. What affects him is rejection & humiliation. @MaryAustinBooks @GottaLaff
in reply to @pineywoozle ‘s #3WordNote

@Pineywoozle @Nazani
Yes, look at this peaceful protest in NYC yesterday! People exercising their Constitutional rights- that's the image we want. Nothing more is even necessary.

The point is none of these people are *afraid*. They are harmless, ordinary folks and perfectly happy to be filmed grinning defiantly at the camera. That is kryptonite to fascists!

@MaryAustinBooks This is exactly why we need to resist everywhere every single day even if all you do is make one little tiny piece of legal sidewalk chalk graffiti! Do something every day. P.S.you don’t have to be Picasso just do it. Raise your voice. @Nazani @GottaLaff

@MaryAustinBooks @Pineywoozle @Nazani if protesting Tesla is a terrorist act, we may need to adopt some of these ideas here.


Trump is coming for the judges again by calling for impeachment of one whose order he really didn’t like. But his outburst generated some important pushback, including from the Chief Justice himself. My write-up in today’s piece: open.substack.com/pub/statusku…



loongarch 3a6000 board got

spanish import process works quite well, they just do everything for you and then you pay on delivery, no paperwork...

in my case the fee was 10€, not sure how they arrived to that number considering vat is 21% and the board was 300 euros but okay

they even gave me a pointless sata cable, how nice of them...

in reply to nina 🔜 home and eth0

Forgive my ignorance but why would you chose Loongarch over an AMD or Intel CPU ? What's the benefit ? Thanks in advance. 😉

The image depicts a person lying on the ground in a forested area at night. The individual is wearing a light blue dress with intricate silver embroidery on the sleeves and a dark brown belt with a metallic buckle. They are holding a large, ornate sword with a silver hilt and a black grip, resting it across their chest. The person's hair is dark and curly, and they are looking upwards with a contemplative expression. The background is filled with glowing, pumpkin-like orbs scattered throughout the foliage, creating a mystical atmosphere. The overall color palette is dark, with the warm orange of the glowing orbs contrasting against the cool tones of the night. The image has a fantasy or medieval theme, with elements suggesting a story or a moment of reflection.

Rogan isn't as dumb as he wants people to believe, he knows exactly what he's doing when he's asking stupid questions and what agenda he is pushing when he selects his guests. His podcast is an idea laundering operation, where he picks far right guests, lets them spout their nonsense unchallenged then goes on to parrot their claims as facts in the weeks that follows, treating them like true information he found himself. It's not idiocy, it's greed and malice.

If you are not going to have your child vaccinated, you should not have children.

In some parts of the world I hear those are called FREEDOM FRECKLES.

Yikes. I don't wish measles on anyone. Why are there so many ignorant people?

All 2024 and 2025 Tesla Cybertrucks recalled by the NHTSA which warns that an exterior panel that runs along the windshield can detach while driving, creating a dangerous road hazard for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

If one #rnode (rnodeA) run by device A, e.g #RaspberryPiZero2W , has is its own #wifi #hotpot (as shown here loramesh.org/subpages/pi_insta…) (with SSID & password),
& another rnode (rnodeB) run by another device B (any device with wifi) joins the hotspot (SSID & pwd),
& rnodeA & rnodeB both have the 'default interface' activated in their reticulum meshchat GUI,
the wifi hotspot *alone* (without radio) will enable sending messages via reticulum between A and B !
in reply to adingbatponder

This forms a high speed local link. That way one can make a perfectly fast #bridge between multiple #lora nodes in the same location e.g. different sides of a building or a #868MHz #rnode and a #433mhz and a #2decimal4ghz node. The nodes are bridged by the private #local #wlan #wifi network of the #RaspberryPiZero2W

Current repair (yesterday): guitar stand where a critical weld broke.

Edit: Not shown - strips on inner tube tightly wrapped to bind the "alligator jaws" to the semicircle headstock piece, then some baseball bat padded tape stuff (similar to cork tape for cycling bars) wrapped around that. There is also now a high-quality(TM) bungee going from prong to prong to prevent the cats from knocking the guitar off the stand.
