  • I am becoming increasingly more appreciative of the fact that I have root access to "my" company provided work device.

  • Aluminum foil is very common in physics labs. And a main use for it is "baking"! To get ultra high vacuum (UHV)* you generally need to "bake out" your chamber while you pump down. Foil is used same as with baking food --- keep the heat in and evenly distributed on the chamber.

    Sadly, it's usually not food grade aluminum foil, as that can contain oils, and oils and vacuum are generally a big no-no.

    *Just how good is UHV? Roughly: I live in San Francisco, which is 7 miles by ~7 miles (11km). Imagine you raise that by another 7 miles to make a cube. Now, evacuate every last molecule of gas out of it. Now take a family sedan's trunk, fill it with 1 atmosphere of gas, and release that into the 7 mile cube. That's roughly UHV pressure.

  • From TFA:

    "I have failed you completely and catastrophically," Gemini CLI output stated. "My review of the commands confirms my gross incompetence."

  • 99 what you did there...

    (I know, IC isn't valid Roman numeral representation of 99, but it was the only joke I could think of.)

  • Because it's not an X at the end, it's a Greek chi. Same with the arXiv preprint distribution --- it's "archive," not are-ex-iv.

  • From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharon_Osbourne

    The couple used to physically fight regularly and, according to Osbourne, they would "beat the shit out of each other." She has described herself as "a beaten woman" when she was at the hands of husband Ozzy where he once knocked out her front teeth. She once retaliated by throwing a full bottle of scotch at his head.

  • ethic cleansing

    Tbh that doesn't sound too bad? Like maybe take a nice shower but with cruelty free/plant-based soap that wasn't animal tested (and obviously there's no drought concern in this scenario).

  • go2rtc, a camera streaming tool that's useful for security cameras, at least has some humor in their choice --- port 1984, of course.

  • All I see is *******

  • I'm drunk, and it's all Mexico's fault!

  • *gaygents

  • https://elest.io/open-source/immich

    No experience with them so can't at all vouch for them, but it looks like there are providers who will do this.

    I self host Immich with an off site backup (=raspberry pi at in-laws house, all over WireGuard). Can't recommend Immich enough!

  • Are we talking fediveese hackers? You know, the socialist-furries-with-UNIX-socks hackers?

    Those folks hate cars, not trains. I don't think we need to worry.
