Ugh. The DC. Circuit has just issued an administrative stay, halting, for now, Boasberg 's plan for contempt-related proceedings against Trump regime. documentcloud.org/documents/25β¦
Gives them 5 days to submit their appeal. Looks like one of the three judges (Pillard) says they should not be even given an administrative stay because there's no legal basis for appeal.

Here is a Roman D20 carved from crystal in the 3rd century AD. These were used, historians suspect for telling fortunes. However, no one can *prove* they weren't used for some kind role playing game. Which is what getting a fortune told with a die is kind of like anyways if you ask me.

A communication error between GoDaddy Registry and Markmonitor took Zoom's services offline for almost two hours on Wednesday when GoDaddy mistakenly blocked the zoom.us domain. The outage affected all services dependent on the zoom.us domain.
part of why DNS is so... "fun"... is the number of moving parts. the domain owner usually has a registrar account (but sometimes a proxy like markmonitor or csc), the registrar puts things into the actual TLD database (registry), which then creates the needed entries in the TLD pointing to the DNS operator operating the authoritative servers that answer the questions about records in that zone and the internet uses recursive servers who ask those authoritative servers for answers, then cache them.
co-opting the registrar account credentials, miscues between hops in this chain, malicious takeovers of auth or recursive servers, all are possible breakdowns, without even considering insertion of fake/forged answers somewhere in the resolution chain.
it's kind of amazing that DNS *ever* works at all. π
"DNS mixup" is the wrong term. There is nothing DNS related as for the causes, only the consequences. The domain had status `serverHold` applied, by registry. This is designed, and hence has consequence, of stopping the DNS resolution for this domain, making it appear as non existing (but still registered).
SPD is now doing 24/7 surveillance of the CID, Aurora North, & Belltown/Downtown. The surveillance includes both people watching camera feeds and algorithms including object recognition. ALL viβ¦
Seattle's big brother camera network is being deployed along Aurora and in two very dense deployments in the Central District (CID) and a swath of Downtown.
16 on Aurora 17 in CID 30 cameras downtown
The police have self reported the locations of sixty cameras so far on the dashboard below:
As we said months ago when the city council voted for this dragnet spy network, there are now people whose entire day and life will be on these cameras.
Each of these near neighborhood-wide deployments cover critical services and in some cases enough essential services that a person might be on camera everytime they leave home for years on end.
The constitution, 4th amendment, sound crime research and public comment didn't work, concerned Seattle citizens held a noise demo at Bob Kettle's house. City council's loudest supporter of this crap, ex-SPD cop and current neighborhood watch captain of Queen Anne.
And you know what? Bob's band of sundown town vigilantes violently attacked the protesters and I was smashed in the head for holding a fucking sign.
Attached: 2 images
A lot of people don't realize Seattle contains a few sundown towns. Well tonight Queen Anne proved sundown towns are alive and well in Seattle.
So naturally Bob Kettle, city council's most excited ex-cop who wants a spy network, refused to turn over video footage of my assault directly infront of his home surveillance camera π₯΄
I guess Bob Kettle likes his privacy more than solving crimes.
Yet here we are, spying on a few thousand old asian grannies in the CID and probably helping get them in trouble with ICE.
They include a ring of HD cameras in a 360 ring. They can optionally also have an added PTZ camera with significant zoom capabilities which enabled it to track a person at distances over one mile!
The cameras come with software for everything from tracking individual people to detecting "loitering".

One of our two senior developers has been forcibly detained and conscripted to participate in a war. When they first went missing, we revoked their repository access as a precaution. We soon learned their disappearance was completely unrelated to GrapheneOS. Our priority has been keeping them safe.
We've used our available connections to try to keep them safe. There's no way to get them out of the conscription. However, they're an incredibly talented security researcher and engineer and it would be extraordinarily misguided to send them to front line combat. This seems to be understood now.
GrapheneOS development and updates have continued and will keep going. We have substantial funds available to hire more people to work on GrapheneOS. We'll need to hire multiple experienced developers to fill their big shoes. They'll hopefully be safe and when they return we'll have a bigger team.
If you're an experienced AOSP developer interested in working full time on GrapheneOS in a fully remote position, see grapheneos.org/hiring. We can pay people anywhere in the world via Wise (local bank transfers), BTC, ETH or XMR. We need people who can hit the ground running due to the current situation.
Our near term focus is going to heavily shift to Android 16 porting, maintenance and continuing to do better patching than standard Android 15 QPR2. An OEM providing us early access to Android 16 sources would help a lot and we wouldn't need to slow down new feature development nearly as much.
We felt obligated to go public about this but waited a couple weeks to make sure they were safe and that us going public wouldn't harm them. We avoided specifying the country or war to avoid involving GrapheneOS in a debate on forced conscription in an existential defensive war.
Some of the donations are very large but even some of those were done anonymously. We know who several of the large donors are including ongoing support from Vitalik Buterin as an example.
Do you have or plan to have any transparency report? I am not talking about personal data on the developers but something more akin to like breakdown of the incomes.
Like: "for this quarter we received this total, this amount was used to pay developers, this amount was used to pay infraestructure, this amount was used to buy devices, this amount was saved to safeguard against unexpected events,..." and so on.
Long shot, but are there any PDX-based makers with a CRICUT, chrome or silver metallic vinyl, and extreme precision who could apply a text logo to a handful of presentation folders by end of day Monday for a rush client meeting?!
So is Katy Perry now an astronaut, or what? It turns out the FAA now takes no role in identifying who is an astronaut. arstechnica.com/space/2025/04/β¦
I can't believe we're talking about this shit like it matters. She's a space tourist, not an astronaut. I think that the folks who are REAL astronauts must be appalled that a word that infers a great level of training, knowledge, and related experience would be applied to a pop star who has no understanding of space.
The original definition was applied to anyone who went into space. So regardless of how people feel about her, yes, she would be an astronaut.
I think that definition will need to change when we become a space fairing society (meaning when space travel becomes common travel for common folk). Since that has not yet happen, the original definition applies.
Those videos you see of the world moving below, what seems like superfast, are not sped up. The ISS, for example, which is further out, so it makes larger passes, passes the earth 16x in a day, and only takes 1 1/2 hours each pass.
@Linux this particular mission was not orbiting. The rocket is only big enough to throw the capsule at the orbital altitude and let it free fall back to Earth.
I read somewhere they did high enough to orbit, having it go once around, and come right back down. It is not hard to do, just have it circle once, and free fall back down.
They are astrotourists. They did no work, flew no rocket/capsule, and performed no experiments, they just fucked around at the edge of space for a few mins. It's akin to calling myself a pilot for merely flying in a plane.

I'd like to ease into this weekend equally peacefully, joining my friends for their Seder. May your weekend, holiday or not, be gentle.

Precious little Doctor Who could be found with this, though. Precious little Doc Martin, too. I've found a Yankee substitute for the Brit-flavoured time traveler, and that's Alfred Hitchcock. I haven't heard a jail referred to as a stir in friggin' AGES, and I heard that in an Alfred Hitchcock Presents just last night.
Sick of paying for streaming services? These films and TV series are free
From real-life stories to new comedies, ditch that $20-per-month streaming service and let us introduce to you the best of film and TV you can watch right now without paying a cent.
@George Takei π³οΈβπππ½ Another "masterstroke" was the Abraham Accords, which was the first of his accomplishments that got shot down but by his best buddy, Netanyahu.
That muddled post doesn't make any sense at all. Not only did he not "warp speed" vaccines, but if he had it wouldn't have been an "economic masterstroke". The vaccines were more about public health, and saving lives.
Even if he were responsible for warp speed, he was responsible for destroying the group in charge of pandemic preparedness so he opened the door to catastrophe, and once out of office he egged on the lunatics fighting the efforts to contain the disease. He could have saved thousands of lives but he chose instead to make it ten times worse, and the next pandemic will be nearly impossible to stop because of the damage he has done in the name of cruelty, narcissism and spite.
There is no doubt in my opinion; his parents killed any ability he may have had for original thought that did not conform to their prejudices and bigotries'.

done, but still seeing some timeouts .. debugging an issue with the nginx configuration towards the streaming server.
I think the auto config is adding the streaming server as endpoint on port 3000 even though it's on 4000. it should be transient, nginx automatically tries a different node so it shouldn't cause problems on the frontend ... but let me know if it does.
welp, sorry for the brief downtime, but hey everything should be Really Actually Fixed This Time β’οΈ (no really I checked the config and logs and there are no more errors)

when a dictator is threatened, they often begin imperialist ambitions for the "circle the wagons" effect that changes the topic and makes people reflexively support the dictator
And the Serbians didn't learn the essential insight: One of common human's properties is greed and instead of getting worked up about corruption in politics one have to get rid of (corrupt...?) politicians and learn, that there's nothing us citizens can't do, what currently only politicians do: Self-responsibility beats external responsibility (=cowardness!) _ a l w a y s _ !
