I love everything about this RX7. The interior? Perfection. This era RX7 is really one of the great sports cars in history. And, they were cheap enough that some of my friends had them (old and beat to hell, of course). https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1979-mazda-rx-7-84/

@icing after twenty or thirty years, the really scary stuff has probably already been found in anything popular. (Probably.)

The Linux Foundation spends 2% of its money on Linux (kernel) and twice as much on "blockchain". https://techrights.org/n/2026/05/08/Over_97_of_the_Linux_Foundation_s_Budget_Goes_Not_to_Linux.shtml

@evan there's a 10+ degree difference. I'm usually setting it to ~76 in summer and ~64 in winter.

@evan winter or summer?

@evan I'd have to get over my disbelief, first. Is there such a Republican in any upcoming election? Were there any in the previous election?

At first, I thought, "OK, this song really sucks, but at least they tried." But, no. They didn't try.

I will accept shitty music made by humans, I might even find it charming. I will not accept shitty music made by mixing 300,000 copyright violations in a blender.

Bunch of AI slop in the latest Perifractic video about the C64 Ultimate? We were promised a digital oasis...if there's AI slop in the digital oasis, I'm going to keep walking in the desert. #c64ultimate

@gemlog I chose Gitea, because it's a decent balance of easy to setup and functional. Gogs is also easy, but does less and moves slower. Savannah and Gitlab are very hard to setup, at least last time I tried either. I haven't tried Forgejo, yet.

@fasterthanlime I can mess up my entire codebase with sed all by myself. I did it mere hours ago, in fact.

@evan 100%, no question. There's a long history of recipes being in the commons. Even when written down, they're not eligible for copyright protection.

@thomasfuchs My dad and I found a huge Lisa setup at a garage sale when I was a kid in the late 80s, maybe early 90s. I think we paid about $50 for all of it. It had three external hard drives, tons of software, etc. and was in pristine condition and had all the original receipts and paperwork (it was something like $25,000 worth of stuff when new, Apple stuff was crazy expensive back then, too). We tinkered with it for a couple weeks, and sold the whole pile for, I think, $300.

@thomasfuchs I mean, a regular working Lisa sells for like $9,000, right?

I think the existence of Docker is a net-negative for opsec and devops (and not in ways a better implementation like podman can fix, though podman is a better implementation).

I keep finding containers hiding ancient buggy dependencies baked in. It's so easy for brokenness to hide in containers, they're just black boxes people pile up until things kinda sorta work. Everyone is afraid to touch the containerized stuff because they have no idea how it works or how the pieces fit together.
