I've finally pushed the button and got myself a Synology NAS, let me tell you about my story and why I've chosen this as the solution to my storage problems....
I'm an ex-physicist and IMO you want a burner phone that looks exactly a generic burner phone. Any souped-up one would draw more attention which would be bad
“ #Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a 3rd term, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying ..there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”
NBC News asked about a possible scenario in which #JDVance would run for office and then pass the role to Trump. Trump responded that “that’s one” method.” nbcnews.com/politics/donald-tr…
Gotta admire his optimism in thinking that he'll live long enough to make it to a 3rd term, much less through it. He'll be an octogenarian by then, and is already so massively unhealthy that he has to bribe doctors to lie about it.
FreeCAD Telemetry addon is now available Chris Hennes developed an opt-in Telemetry addon to help the development team make good decisions and help answer questions like:

Another portrait. Two Arri tungsten lights, one at 90° with a softbox and one at 45° without, but aiming at the hair. No gels this time. There was also a reflector but I forgot to move it for this pose so it's kind of irrelevant.

Anyone will tell you that as hard as it is to create a working system, the real trick is making two systems talk to each other, especially if you created only one or none of them. That’s why …
30 March 1934 | A French Jew, Marc Ast, was born in Reims.
He arrived at #Auschwitz on 10 October 1943 in a transport of 1,000 Jews deported from Drancy. He was among the 491 people murdered in a gas chamber immediately after selection.
I'd like to do a shoutout to writer and accessibility advocate Robert Kingett, who has helped lots of Fediverse projects with accessibility including BookWyrm, GoToSocial, Fedi.Tips and others.
He has done a lot for accessibility on the Fediverse, and I'd strongly recommend sending Robert a donation if you can (I've just done so). His donation links are at:
@RobotDiver @Em0nM4stodon @Crispius These comment are so tone-deaf, considering how your friend and families CONSENTED to being a part of the military operation, whereas the Afghani people NEVER had that chance.
The discussion about Danes being good allies and not them being complicit in the suffering of the people in the global South speaks volume.
Mastodon is a cesspool of developed-world narcissist. Stop making it all about yourself, citizens of the imperial-core.
I totally agree with your assessment of this being a tone-deaf comment. This too much of a neocolonialism mentality. Make your mind! I wish we have more people on the fediverse to point that out.
That said, I sincerely empathize with the people who lost relatives on the Danes side too. This is hardly an enlightened choice from those who get engaged.
It's time for us, people, to stop believe in so called "elite" and stand for ourselves (cross-boundaries)!
Today's Low Quality Ad is for Alpha Grillers Meat Claws, on sale for 44% off. I'll be honest with you. I don't even own a grill, I'm just gonna pretend to be Wolverine with these. amazon.com/dp/B09J746BHB?ref=t…
Vegans and vegetarians can get great use out of these claws too. Assert your plant-based dominance by stabbing your fist into a watermelon and proudly raising it overhead for all to witness.
Even better idea: throw some vegetables into the air, move your clawed hands in talented quick moves through air - insta-shredded veggies. Ofc while screaming "I am Volverine" (notice the "V"!)
Today's my birthday, my 75th—impossibly old!—and I'm receiving this wonderful video of John Lithgow reading Timothy Snyder's twenty lessons in tyranny as a birthday gift. Which I now offer to readers here….
You know, I remember in my 🇲🇽 forbidding donors from corporations and rich people to any party since 30 years ago. The democratic parties (some right, some left) fight for balancing elections and zero intervention. Nowadays, today is almost like this kind of 'donors'
In developing countries like Kenya and Nigeria, presidential candidates are financed by foreign corporates and billionaires. What is the name of the system? imperialism?
The Gateway Clipper Fleet is a Pittsburgh staple since 1958. The fleet has the largest inland riverboat fleet in the US. I particularly like sunset dinner cruises with live music. backpackandsnorkel.com/USA/Pit…

Wow, 10m is hopping from eastern US to Europe this morning. My family Technician (soon-to-be General!) #HamRadio operator just logged 10 SSB DX calls in the CQ World Wide WPX Contest all in the 28.3-28.5MHz Technician band, including his longest DX yet. 🎉
@DL6PL @dc1tc Folks doing that are why he made his requisite ten contacts in his first POTA activation attempt, which was at least half park-to-park activations — of which one QSO was a first POTA activation for both operators. ❤️
Super encouraging for new hams!
I'm very very new to POTA myself. I've been planning to activate mostly CW, but maybe I should also throw out some SSB CQs on that part of 10m as a matter of course, to help the next new hams have fun. And if I'm on 15, 40, or 80m I can choose the Tech CW parts of those bands, too. 🤔
And another good thing that happened to me yesterday was that my hackers.town Ukraine fund-raiser t-shirt arrived and was waiting in my mailbox when I got home last night! So proud to wear this shirt out and about today!
An array boils down to a bounds and an element type. For multidimensional arrays the 'inner' element type is itself an array definition.
The parser for this works recursively which gives an elegantly simple solution (although the actual code is a little gnarly given the syntaxes). Parsing the bounds is parsing a type definition (of a suitable enumerable type). Parsing the element type means parsing another array definition.
Each bounds results in a new, anonymous, type definition of type SubRange. Each (Bounds, Element) pairing results in a new array definition. Inner array types are again anonymous. The images lists the types created from parsing the code in the previous toot.
All of this recursion gives tremendous flexibility. Array bounds can be any suitable enumerable type, including an enumeration declared on the fly. Similarly for the element type.
The array parsing code is less than 75 lines which can handle three syntaxes for multidimensional arrays. And a fair portion of the code which is error handling from deeper functions.
#Biotech group warns exit of top #FDA vaccine official will ‘erode scientific standards’ - theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m… "Rare admonition from a sector that has largely been silent in the face of the second #Trump administration" more like this please
so they're so awful they have to pay someone to help them find someone who will mate with them? Do I understand that correctly? Did their mothers not hug them as children?
Trump doesn’t rule out military intervention in Greenland — again
U.S. President Donald Trump hinted he could use military force to take over Greenland — in the latest sign of Washington's fixation with the autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark.
@avi Translation-at-runtime was always going to be expensive; those things were technically brilliant and absolutely on the wrong side of the commodification curve. I sometimes wonder if the will someday make sense as a software-archaeology tool, but even them emulation in software will probably be faster.

Centara Grand Island Resort & Spa in the Maldives has fantastic overwater bungalows. It was the first time for us to stay in an overwater bungalow and we loved it. Have you done this? #Maldives #resort #overwaterbungalowbackpackandsnorkel.com/Centara…
The Maldives have many great resorts and choosing the right one is difficult. Centara Grand Island Resort & Spa is one of the best and it has wonderful overwater bungalows.
Farm worker activist Alfredo Juarez Zeferino, known in his community as “Lelo,” was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Tuesday, March 25, and is being held at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma.
I hate the word “detain” in the context of ICE taking someone. The word is KIDNAPPED! KIDNAPPED is the correct word, especially if a taken person’s family doesn’t know where they were taken and if the people who took them wore masks. Some ICE wear uniforms but I’m seeing more and more that don’t.
