Hello

Somebody developed a Home Assistant integration for monitoring and managing sourdough starters

What timing, this came out yesterday: Louis Theroux’s 20 best documentaries: from Savile and Scientology to prisons and painkillers

I like your thought so I wondered if there is a site to help people pick a distro and found this:

https://distrochooser.de/

For a windows gamer type of person it came up with Linux Mint

…at the top of a long list of other choices. Not bad!

NY is next

New York Senate Bill S8102A goes further. It “requires manufacturers of internet-enabled devices to conduct age assurance” to check all users’ ages, and provide this info to “all websites, online services, online applications and mobile applications” – as well as app stores.

At 5mbps it should take about 1 hour for 2GB. It sounds like your actual speed is 2-3x lower. Can you take that up with your ISP? Are you certain your machine has the best connection within your control, i.e. directly wired into the router? Network equipment is not faulty? Have you tested with iperf within your network? Just in case there’s another issue beside the slow external speed…

Another thing that springs to mind is to use a backup tool like restic that will not only compress but deduplicate your data into hundreds of small files that might make upload faster. Dedup can save significant space and you can try it out locally first. Just do restic init then restic backup PATH.

Restic can use rclone as a backend also and upload straight to google: https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/030_preparing_a_new_repo.html#other-services

Finally there’s sometimes nothing faster than physically moving data. A person jogging with a 100gb drive has great bandwidth! Is there a location with better internet within reach? A library or school perhaps?

The danger being raised with the licensing is that you can’t license something if you’re not considered to be the author. There are growing examples of courts and lawmakers determining AI output to be public domain:

The US Supreme Court recently refused to reconsider Thaler v. Perlmutter, in which the plaintiff sought to overturn a lower court decision that he could not copyright an AI-generated image. This is an area of ongoing concern among the defenders of copyleft because many open source projects incorporate some level of AI assistance. It’s unclear how much AI involvement in coding would dilute the human contribution to the extent that a court would disallow a copyright claim.

This is an evolving, global situation and hard to know what to do right now. I think what you’ve got is fine though - you’ve made it clear your intention is to license with AGPL. It’s just that depending on the jurisdiction it might be public domain instead.

This is another reason to be clear about the use of AI in the README so your users can make an informed decision.

What can you do with Strudel?

• live code music: make music with code in real time
• algorithmic composition: compose music using tidal’s unique approach to pattern manipulation

Interesting, some effort required to keep it on track:

Claude can be very persistent when it really wants to do something. I’ve seen Claude run the contents of a make command when make itself is blocked, or write a Python script to edit a file it’s been told it can’t edit. But hooks at least offer better enforcement than prompting alone.

There was a moment in time where maybe it was qmail:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qmail

Ten years after the launch of qmail 1.0, and at a time when more than a million of the Internet’s SMTP servers ran either qmail or netqmail, only four known bugs had been found in the qmail 1.0 releases, and no security issues.

More on how it was accomplished:

Wow that’s bad. The original idea of standing up, I understand, was to keep the meeting short through physical discomfort and only speak of blockers to progress or ask for help. It is not meant to report status, which can make people feel like they have to continually justify themselves and their work.

nmcli to support wireguard peers, nice

Don’t encrypt the drive, encrypt the backups and put your keepassdb alongside. Use restic or similar that encrypts backups.

The contention is that Mattermost say it’s licensed under AGPL but then they add conditions which are incompatible with that license. So it seems they want to give appearance of AGPL but not give the actual rights that come with it. So therefore it’s not AGPL.

Errors in command substitution e.g. $(cat file) are ignored by ‘set -e’, one example of its confusing nature. It does not force you to all handle errors, just some errors and which ones depends on the code you write.

Presumably that can’t handle things that the app adds like run conditions for wifi/mobile data though? I realise some may not care about that as much.

Thank you for introducing me to FairScan! Great app. I have a scanner but being able to snap stuff on the go is so much quicker.

I like your infographic, how was it made?
