During my latest #zephyr presentation, I noticed that top-of-tree introduced a bug where the #lvgl demo crashes when displaying a specific widget. It also crashes with the native_sim backend, so one can easily reproduce the bug without any hardware. Unfortunately even with gdb, I can not easily see why the crash happens, as the code in question runs many times without a problem but only crashes on a specific invocation.

Unable to solve it, I at least reported it:

Kleines Gedankenspiel unter Demokraten:

Stellen wir uns vor, eine beliebige andere öffentliche Person hätte bewusst und geplant das getan, was Musk mit dem Zeigen des Hitlergrußes vollzogen hat.

Sagen wir, es war Greta Thunberg auf einer Kundgebung gegen Klimazerstörung.

Oder ein palästinensischer Arzt bei seinem Aufruf für die Souveränität Palästinas.

Oder eine schwarze Politikerin in ihrer Rede im deutschen Parlament für eine humanistische und rechtebasierte
Integrationspolitik.

Im letzten Jahr saß ich mit einem der weitsichtigsten Köpfe dieses Landes zusammen.

Er verkörpert das, was sich andere als fremden Federschmuck anlegen:

Wissen, Weitsicht und Warnung.
Integrität, kritisches Denken und ein lakonischer Humor.

@highvoltage Oh, so many choices! There is also hot egde, transforming the corner activation into an edge activation, but on all monitors:

https://github.com/jdoda/hotedge

Maybe easier to target?

@highvoltage 😂 I have to admit that I use that feature only once or twice a year, and thinking about it now, I remember that when it did not work for my second monitor, I didn't care at all. It did not even occur to me to be a "bug".

But if you like it, then It seems there is an extension that may help you:

https://github.com/G-dH/custom-hot-corners-extended

It explicitly mentions multi-monitor support, but I did not test it.

@highvoltage Clever! However, this breaks the display of windows spanning screen boundaries, right? Also moving windows across boundaries will make them jump vertically. Probably very confusing

Zitat aus dem Video:

"some of the things you know what would be the funniest thing about this is if Elon Musk actually was playing the game the entire day and he just wasn't running any of the companies [ ..] like imagine [..] the end of this is that he actually wasn't a fake gamer he was a fake CEO that's also possible"

Das überrascht mich jetzt schon. Bei all den Katastrophen, mit denen #Musk zusammenhängt, scheint es der Betrug beim Computerspielen zu sein, der die Jugend aufrüttelt. Wow, hätte ich nicht gedacht.

A chat server running on powerful hardware collapsing when handling more than 100 events per second isn't acceptable. Events scale up based on room activity from non-local users including spammers too. It's an issue for a server with 12 users too.

@pluralistic @neiman Thanks for the tip. The choice of "backing options" is very cool, so I also became a supporter 😀

Following you already for quite a long time, I'd like to seize the opportunity, and thank you for your very extremely valuable work. Your level of productivity (books, articles, etc.) is just unbelievable for me! 🙏 👍

1,75 Millionen Euro spendete der österreichische Krypto-Broker Bitpanda gerade an SPD, CDU/CSU und FDP.
Man wolle mit den Spenden zur „Stärkung der demokratischen Strukturen und des Meinungsbildungsprozesses“ beitragen, so wird Bitpanda-Gründer Eric Demuth zitiert. Also kein Problem?

Nicht ganz. Bitpanda hat nämlich zugleich handfeste Lobbyinteressen und erwartet sich dafür politische Unterstützung. Erst letzte Woche hat Bitpanda sich ins deutsche Lobbyregister eingetragen.

Die Krypto-Branche hat klare Interessen, zum Beispiel wenn es um die Besteuerung von Krypto-Gewinnen geht, möchte allgemein eine kryptofreundliche Politik. Würden z.B. Kryptowährungen Zentralbankreserven von EZB und Bundesbank, stiege die Bedeutung von Kryptowährungen stark an.

Mindestens FDP-Chef Lindner hat die Branche da bereits auf ihrer Seite. Die Grünen, die sich kritisch gegenüber Forderungen aus der Krypto-Branche positioniert hatten, erhielten keine Spenden. Von SPD, Union und FDP erwartet sich Bitpanda offenbar mehr.

Uh, das Update meines #nextcloud Servers scheint gerade im Download Step zu blockieren, also habe ich den Download mal lokal versucht und ja, da ist Luft nach oben. Keine Ahnung, ob die Nextcloud Server gerade irgendwie per #ddos angegriffen werden?

Also nur, wenn ihr euch auch wundert, normalerweise ist der Download kaum der Rede wert.

@w96k On 512 MiB RAM? Wow. I started to run firefox with systemd-run to get easier memory statistics, and it tells me it is using 5.1 G right now and the peak was at 7.5 G ...

@amszmidt I empathize with the lazy part 😀

As you point out, my problem really is that I have no good idea on how things need to be, so I am going to take some time to study the manuals. Once I know better _what_ I want to achieve, I should be in a better position to find the _how_. Currently, it feels like being in a very dense fog 😂

@amszmidt Ah cool, thanks for the offer! Indeed, my first question would be why I am not able to call up dired in Zmacs. I start Zmacs with F1-e, then do an M-x dired and then I already need to guess. I try entering "*.*.*" and then I am required to login. Attempting with my dzu id, I get a timeout that host AMS-LISPM-2 is not responding. That seems plausible as the message tells me that this host is the default host. Trying with "dzu@localhost" also fails. Can you advise?

So how cool is this. I have been reading a lot about the #lispmachine, but I never attempted to get an instance running on my GNU/Linux system. Thanks to @amszmidt this is really absolutely trivial: Clone the fossil repo and type "./m -s". And it works, I get a Y2K compliant instance! 🙏 🧙

I still need to learn how to do any non-trivial things, but there are a lot of manuals to go through, so this requires some reading, I suppose.

Also, I do not know how to update the system tape to the latest version released just a few hours ago, but again, this is probably RTFM 😀

Thanks @amszmidt for making it so trivial to get started with a LispMachine! 🙏

@ArneBab Hm, I have the feeling that I read that sentence differently. As I pointed out with my link to Peter Woits blog, I think there are many people in Theoretical Physics that believe String Theory is a failed attempt that should just be given up on instead of cheering it on. For me the quote just says "if there is something wrong, then we need to address it" and as I argued many people see that there is something wrong. I do not read the breadth of meaning into it like you do, sorry.

@ArneBab Sure, you are free to stop watching her videos, no question about it. I just wanted to point out that I do not follow your reasoning and that's also fine for me to do.

To be completely honest, I also have my own "problems" with some content of Sabines videos, but I do not expect to meet people being correct 100% all the time. The actual positive input that I received from Sabine far outweighs minor discrepancies which are totally normal (in my opinion).
