Who else is making a note of the authors of rah-rah-AI-everything, rah-rah-GPT articles so as not to believe anything these chumps ever write again?

@edbilodeau Interesting. Reisman stepped down as CEO last September, so this might be a way for her to get her personal project back under her control.

The CBC headline reads, "Police end occupation at Columbia".

Why were the police occupying Columbia?

1/2

The procedure to get a firmware download for an IBM-rebadged Broadcom-formerly-Brocade device is infuriatingly Kafkaesque. Any worse and I'll turn into an insect.

Search on Broadcom - nope, need login.

Login... nope, not found.

Search IBM. Found! Give me file? No, just a link to Broadcom.

Give me link? No, login.

Log in... give me now? No, enter serial number.

Finally have link.

Silly shell hack I just needed. How do you run "sleep" until a certain time of day rather than for a fixed number of seconds?

sleep $(( $(date -d 13:00 +%s) - $(date +%s) ))

djfiander,
@djfiander@code4lib.social avatar

@joat why not just use at(1)?

djfiander,
@djfiander@code4lib.social avatar

@joat Oh, in that case, shutdown(8) supports scheduling a shutdown time, and cancelling the shutdown later if you want to.

Well as the mom of a high school junior looking at colleges I guess I have some Questions to ask because I can't say I feel great about funneling $70K a year to people who send riot cops after their own students

@thatandromeda just remember what's important: the school is far more likely to receive funding and students from Israel than it is from Palestine.

I have a question from my 📚librarian colleagues who are better versed in LOC than I.

Is there any way to request a change to one's LOC VIAF record? I have one from years ago but I've since changed my surname.
