OP said die and I’m going to take him at his word 😉

So you want to die in a burning boat‽ While some countries in Europe allow for assisted suicide, I don’t think any allow for self immolation while at sea.

Now if you’re looking for a viking funeral procession after your death, I would think environmental regulations would be the biggest hurdle.

I have one like that. He’s so fluffy and soft and his fur gets everywhere.

Yeah, that was my second prescription. The first one was clobetasol propionate which you are only supposed to use two weeks on, two weeks off. It didn’t work very well.

Edit: for over the counter I use Eucerin eczema relief. I also have a jar of CeraVe, but I haven’t used that in a while. I only have to use them occasionally.

Go see a dermatologist.

A few years ago I would get patches on the back of my hand that would itch and have tiny blisters. They were persistent and over the counter ointments weren’t helping. Finally went to a dermatologist when they got unbearable. The first one I went to prescribed an ointment that sorta worked, but not that great. Ended up going to a second dermatologist when I found out the first one was an anti-vaxxer.

The second one was on top of his game. He straight up said the first ointment wasn’t a good one to use and prescribed something much better. It knocked out the spots and itchiness after a week or two. I’ve had a couple of minor flair ups since, but the ointment eliminates it pretty quick. Haven’t had any problems for at least a year.

If you can, go see a dermatologist.

That depends. Are you looking at preserving the music without loss of information? Then you need to use a lossless format like flac. Formats like aac, mp3, opus can throw away information you’re less likely to hear to achieve better compression ratios. Flac can’t, so it needs more storage space to preserve the exact waveform.

You can use a lossy format if you want. On most consumer level equipment, you probably won’t notice a difference. However, if you start to notice artifacting in songs, you’ll need to go back to the originals to re-rip and encode.

Bad bot. Bad summary.

There’s talk on the Linux kernel mailing list. The same person made recent contributions there.

Andrew (and anyone else), please do not take this code right now.

Until the backdooring of upstream xz[1] is fully understood, we should not accept any code from Jia Tan, Lasse Collin, or any other folks associated with tukaani.org. It appears the domain, or at least credentials associated with Jia Tan, have been used to create an obfuscated ssh server backdoor via the xz upstream releases since at least 5.6.0. Without extensive analysis, we should not take any associated code. It may be worth doing some retrospective analysis of past contributions as well…

There’s a handful of them. They’re all still pretty small, but [email protected] was active recently.

Given their history of hostilities. Hell has a better chance of freezing over than a secret agreement existing.

At that time Al-Qaeda and the Taliban were hiding along Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan, and from the wikipedia article:

Pakistan’s government publicly condemned these attacks. However, it also allegedly allowed the drones to operate from Shamsi Airfield in Pakistan until 21 April 2011. According to leaked diplomatic cables, Pakistan’s Army Chief Ashfaq Parvez Kayani not only tacitly agreed to the drone flights, but in 2008 requested that Americans increase them.

I doubt Iran has a secret agreement to operate drones within Pakistan.

Talk about an author with an agenda. He cherry picks data points to stir the shit. The figure he could have included in his blog post but didn’t:

Cleverly made the joke to female guests while attending a Downing Street reception earlier this month.

Yikes! The added context makes it even worse.

This is the first I’m hearing about drama with F-Droid. All I could find was a post on Hacker News which links to this github gist.

State is more concerned about US citizens in Lebanon being targeted as a form of retaliation against US support of Israel.

Time to see a vet.

One of my cats has both a food allergy and is higher anxiety. I caught her ripping her fur out a couple of days after I brought her home. We put her on a prescription diet, and I give her medication for the anxiety. She does much better now. Her anxiety will never completely go away. I know some of it comes from either neglect or abuse from her original owners.

Given that the 70’s was 50 years ago, most people don’t know the details of what happened. Other than a metric conversion was attempted.

It’s both surprising and not that it was killed by republicans. And given the current nationalist furor in the party, it doesn’t have a snow ball’s chance in hell of happening in the next decade. If it was proposed, again.

Electronics have to be designed for use in outer space. That includes hardening from radiation. Adding redundancy because there will be glitches and failures due to bit flips. Using components that can operate in a vacuum. There’s thermal considerations, both extreme heat and cold. You also need filters in the optics to protect the image sensor.

You can totally put a GoPro in space. It’s just not going to last very long before it fails.

Only the bad cat owners. The good ones can predict when there’s mischief in their eye.

This is what we are going to find out in the next three years. Someone could come up with a license, but we won’t know if it’s viable until it gets tested by the courts. There’s still debate on whether scraping from copyrighted works then using that data to train a LLM (or any other ML model) is an allowed use. Technically, that is transformative of the original works, but it uses vast numbers of copyright works. The New York Times is looking at suing OpenAI over this exact issue.

In any case, if you did come up with a license, you would also have to enforce it. With no clear legal precedents that would require filling suit against any violator.
