i really gotta move docker off the fucking router

so we were wondering why internet access was so slow at our apartment
-> turns out IPv6 doesn't go through the router the way it should
-> turns out that is because there is an IPv6-specific iptables chain that is created for ip6 filter FORWARD with policy DROP, which supersedes my own nftables chain
-> turns out that is because docker, in the year of our lord 2024, still feels the need to create its own forward chains in the iptables system and without minding nftables, and specifically forbids ipv6 forwarding

i just want to grab a docker dev and ask them what the fuck at this point

• Three weeks ago, following EU elections where the far right won in a landslide, Macron dissolved parliament and called a snap election
• His bet was likely that the left could not unite in so little time, and he would pose as the only credible alternative against the far right
• the bet blew in his face: the left united, and the right fractured. As a result, he spent a lot of time demonizing the left and the far right
• National media, which is mostly behind the interest of a few very rich elites, spent a lot of time demonizing the left and inviting the far right
• Today, after the first round of voting, the far right got ~34% of all votes, the united left ~28%, and Macron's party 20%
• The way french legislative elections work, a lot of seats are in a triangular run-off: three candidates are left for the second round, usually from Macron's party, the far right, and the united left
• Estimations are shaky because of those triangular run-offs, but the far right could, at the very worst, graze the absolute majority in parliament. More likely, it will represent more than a third of MPs

"my son is normal" ma'am your daughter cries tears of joy thinking about being walked on a leash by one of its girlfriends

i aspire to be the nightmare of corporate research; i will devalue the economy of your lab, i will purposely sabotage its value. research should be free. the taxpayer is literally paying us, they're literally paying me and the goddamn hardware i am writing this on. my shitty Linux fork should be printed and available in every single town hall, and so should be your shitty unoptimized ML algorithm.

i went into public research because the culture and incentive of tech companies, especially those you're pushed into as a young engineering graduate, is nauseating, and frontally clashes with my personal values. in retrospect it was naive to think i could escape most of that culture by going into research (especially considering my main supervisor's attitude), but seeing the active sabotage by our neolib government of research to turn it into a patent-producing startup factory makes my blood boil even more;

there's nowhere safe from the capitalist brain; you must burn a startup company if you aspire to have any tangible impact in this world

also yes everything i make is technically under copyright for my employer (my university)
do you think that is going to stop me

(note to self for later, print article L611-7 of the intellectual property code and eat it)

if anyone in the administration of my university is reading this: hi, please do something about the heating in our building, it's embarrassingly disparate from one office to the other. thank you.

occasional fun time of this cringe-ass "enhancing the value of your research" class: scary-looking face pictograms in the slides

(media hidden for eye contact)

i am sorry i am once again forced through an online class that's teaching me how much being a phd student is like being an entrepreneur and i should really extract value out of my research and-

blows up a startup company's hq

"this is how you should protect the intellectual property that can be extracted from your research before transferring it to an economic actor" bullshit, utter bullshit, i will leak every single bit of code i write, i will slap the GPLv3 on it to make it radioactive to patent lawyers, i will leak my own papers to scihub. fight me.

we should romanticize the theft of intellectual property more than we already do

On the same day the #wikipediafr poll asking how they should deadname trans people closes, poll which saw contributors (including long time established ones) banned for "infringement of well-behaving rules" (calling out transphobia) or POV pushing (calling out transphobia), multiple edits are suddenly being made on the Wikipedia page of Elliot Page to change mentions of him as an "actor" (male noun in french) to a "celebrity" (female noun in french), allowing for multiple grammatical gender markers to be switched from male to female, despite the fact that they describe Elliot.

EDIT: some editors also attempted to add pre-transition photos of him to the article as well. This comes at an especially bad time as the official @wikipedia_fr account highlighted the article today (in what was likely a post scheduled a while back, but definitely should have been retracted considering the tension in the room)

i'm sorry, GNU imp, but what the fuck
