Had issues with the on my mail server again.

Was finally able to confirm it by switching the default kernel to the last known good one and everything came up again after a reboot.

Now everything is patched, but I'm still running the old kernel.

And, for anyone curious, this is the kernel that was tripping me up.

vmlinuz-6.6.13-200.fc39.x86_64

My other Fedora boxes don't seem to have an issue with it.

@majorlinux Well that's make me curious, how Fedora is performing as server distribution? I always thought about it as a desktop one.

@Yora @eeyam international law was always about prosecuting those who lost, and it was good in many cases that they were prosecuted, but it still omitted lots of cases that should be(or should omit ones that shouldn't)

Hey geeks, what are your thoughts on the use of math where we don't have good data? E.g. suppose you want to say "I think fusion reactors will be used at [rate] by [year] based on guesses from older tech adoption." Like, you can do a math model, but it doesn't seem obviously better to me than saying "it's path dependent." The math is a kind of ritual you can perform, but provides no new information.

sobkas,
@sobkas@mastodon.social avatar

@ZachWeinersmith but we could use math to check if in the past math models predicting future were accurate in actually predicting it...

    @Vittoria Answer is as long as no one knows they were baptized everything will be ok. Based on their famous policy of hiding problems rather than solving them. So no public baptism for them.

    @MrLovenstein most likely when I watch movies biggest problems I hear is that actors voices are overwhelmed by background noise so it's at the same time too loud and not loud enough. Apparently dripping water/whatever is more important to the plot than what characters are talking about...

He just seems like a generic nerd who thinks he knows everything because he doesn't care about how he dresses and didn't think Shakespeare was any good as a high school student, and can explain away being a dick with an expected value calculation. Like, he's not even a compelling fraud?

    @brunogirin I have only comparison with a small hamlet outside of Łódź(where I was growing up), but as I am living in Łódź and before when I was commuting to it, I never had problems with moving around city while not owning a car. I could walk whenever I wanted and public transport was connecting all parts of city. But some parts of it looks positively postapocaliptic and in need of revitalising, but we are slowly getting there.

    @majorlinux Starfield needs option "nah I'm good, mining is my call in life" where you don't bother with all that space nonsense and you keep working as a miner. Either it can be simple or whole new story about mining.

    Playing around with an online bitmap-to-vector that claims to be AI powered.

    So, after a full day and a lot of back and forth, a few very important things have come to light. I'll try to summarize them here because I've been posting primarily in the Bad Places® rather than the Good Places™, so that nobody's lost.

    • It looks like somebody from inside the Rust Project, but not with the consensus of all leadership, tried to downgrade my talk (or perhaps have it outright retracted) because they did not like the direction the compile-time work I was doing. (Learned from: https://www.jntrnr.com/why-i-left-rust/)
    • The decision to downgrade my talk, once it was known I was going to talk about Compile-Time Reflection in Rust, came anywhere from 4 to 8 days before I was actually told this past Friday and had to release the blog post stepping away. However, as evidenced by much of the public statements from existing, ex, and now-ex Rust Project members, the decision to unilaterally downgrade was not known to many of them until they read my post.
    • Downgrading the keynote was NEVER voted on like inviting me to do the keynote in the first place.

    All in all, this reeks of someone trying to run-around the consensus of the Rust Project because they don't like Shepherd Oasis's or my work (detailed here: https://soasis.org/posts/a-mirror-for-rust-a-plan-for-generic-compile-time-introspection-in-rust/).

    I don't know how to handle this going forward. The Rust Project has effectively ultimate commit rights to rustc and all of the projects our work would touch are under the control of the organization that did this. Even if we do the work, they could effectively unwind and undo a lot of our work, or indefinitely block it with an endless slew of "reasonable concerns" from ranking project members who seem to have problems but don't want to communicate them except by taking potshots at the status of my now-gone RustConf talk.

    I don't know what to do. I'm pretty lost, it's Sunday, and I have a shitload of things I still need to do, not including this whole trainwreck.

    @thephd after starting a job in corporation I found out how many patterns of similar behaviour are shared between it and open source world. With distinction that corporations actually pay you for something that can only be described as trench warfare while open source demands that you do it in free time for free. That's why I no longer participate in open source "fun".
