In September, British police were alerted to three suspicious vehicles driving toward the UK air force base. The police arrested a total of seven men on suspicion of a terrorist plot, but they were later released on stringent conditions after no explosives were found in the vans.

The plan involved using those vans, which were filled with fuel, as vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN.

So there was no explosives. Then they said the fuel tank is the explosive? Seriously?

The person who discovered *sshole said OpenWRT is affected, but by default, that OS uses the Dropbear package, not OpenSSH, for SSH connections (though maintainers provide instructions for installing the latter).

Disclaimer: not promoting or supporting AI usage, but adding some observations after reading.

Two points that needs more exploration.

One is briefly mentioned by the author that AI usage of a software engineer is at the very end of usage distribution. So this cannot be taken as a generalised estimate as the tiltle suggest.

Second, I don’t see any mention of energy usage for research and development of the models. This is about what happens once the model is built. Unless AI companies disclose this, these are not going to put things into perspective.

Well then there is not even a single reason for switching from VS Code for a normal dev. When I tried it in Debian with a normal laptop, it continuously caused freezing, because it kinda throttled the integrated graphics.

I really wish there is an editor that support vscode’s devcontainer like containerisation, but open source. I really don’t like doing it manually. Too much effort for something that can be autonated.

So I haven’t felt the need to go with a tiling compositors. I already use multiple munitors, and kind of have designated spots for the apps I use.

I love stability and don’t want any surprises after Windows made enough surprises. So decided to go with Debian Trixie, and KDE.

But I use Arch in my spare laptop, btw. EndeavorOS where I experiment some stuff. Maybe down the line I will give hyprland a try on my spare first.

Yeah… It is the Windows that finally pushed me the fastest to install Linux. I was very comfortable with Debian servers as part of my work, but never managed to switch my daily driver. Two weeks ago that happened. Peace…

Interesting. When the studios were able to make deals with Runway and other video generators, I didn’t see them making a fuss like this. At least after getting the deal. They are sure ByteDance is not going to make any deal with them. So it is copyright infringement. There were clear repirts showing Runway used movies to train their model without any permission. I guess, if ByteDance makes a deal with the stufios and and the union then they will simply ignore it?

I genuinely appreciate the effort. I have a few comments.

1. Some of the sources are not left wing at all.
2. In general I felt long form articles are not in focus. If you need help with sources I can give you my rss feed list.
3. App links are not working.

I was completely confused why would a dealer release a car before they got financials approved. Then I read about the yo-yo scam. In my country under no circumstances you will get the car, without prior financial approval. America is weird.

It’s all AI. You should not worry about it. In fact you should not think about it. All is going to be fine.

Angry… Expand… It has to be ego, right?

Holy hell… That was heavy. It’s a mixed bag of emotions and it is impossible to define right and wrong here, without running into contradictions. I wonder if there is any precedence for this situation.

It didn’t work like that for me. I must admit I didn’t dig deep to clearly see what is the problem. So my setup had a Windows Pc, a Raspberry Pi 5, and an Android phone, sharing a folder which had notes.

Whenever I save any changes in Windows machine, the android used gets updated without much issue, but the Raspberry Pi caused conflicts. When looked at the time stamps they were different and it looked to me like the Raspberry Pi 5 Syncthing is sending the old file as new one, because of the save time.

It read somewhere the issue is with how time is handled in Rasberry Pi. So I disabled the Raspberry Pi Syncthing and went on, because that was not really needed.

Aah my bad… I was half asleep. What I meant was use Round Sync / Syncthing to copy files to pc and then use Kopia to backup. Round Sync can do one direction copying, so source files are not corrupted.

First and foremost Syncthing is not a ‘backup’ utility. Using it for backup is not at all recommended. Especially if you are dealing with Android or Raspberry pi, because the way clock / time works in these systems are pretty weird and create sync conflicts. So don’t.

Now to the solution. For backup, use a proper backup solution like Kopia. Modern solutions support browsing the snapshots created as backups. Also creating periodic snapshots ensures better redundancy and better chance for disaster recovery.

Now if you will not use it for backup, take a look at ‘Round Sync’ available in F-Droid. It’s an application built around the execptionally good app, ‘rclone’. It is some what similar to Syncthing, but designed in a very different way. Also it is more difficult to configure to copy the files to PC.

I also wanted to mention that I have used Syncthing for many heavy lifting jobs and never faced issues with it. It is a feature complete app, with the philosophy of doing only one thing and doing it perfectly. So if you run into any issues, do reach out to forums or devs. They will definitely help you.

Try

docker run liquidtrees:micro-algae

Isn’t ‘innerHTML’ considered unsafe? Can someone with subject knowledge please explain.

As I mentioned it is to reduce dependency on CI tool. You may have to shift the tool in the future and if you use a lot of commands specific to the CI tool, that is going to be a nightmare.

Ansible is agent less and only needs SSH access. You can SSH into your local system, from the same local system. Need to add few entries in your SSH config and known_hosts. Essentially everything in Ansible are shell commands. So you are not really that much locked into Ansible.

On the question,

Does that make running it locally easier?

If you mean making it easier compared to remote, on the surface level, the answer is ‘no’. But it makes CI pipeline easier to run independent of your environment. Ansible is here to reduce dependency on a specific tool.

Bonus point is you can also create a working but basic CD system with Ansible.

Woodpecker with Ansible. Woodpecker will give container environment and using Ansible will reduce dependency on the CI tool.

Woodpecker has a alpine linux based container for Ansible. It will take some time to setup, but will make the life much easier.

Haa understood. In that perspective yes it is not simple. I would also be happy if pacman had better support for AUR.

But I have a different perspective on this. I always look for the right or the best tool available to do something. So I’m not that hesitant to use another tool for AUR. I guess it’s a personal preference after all.
