Who needs CPU benchmarks when you can just run some fuzz testing? 😆
Good job little Noctua AIO, not even breaking a sweat!
It'll be back down to ~30C when I'm done.

Why are the unions rushing to defend the triple lock?
You don't represent pensioners, they already have enough representation, you represent workers, whose public services are being cut to the bone to fund the triple lock.

Something I'm noticing, as somebody who uses NoScript, with Single Page Apps.
I'll see the full page load, then disappear again.
Why?
Because the page wanted to do a fade-in effect.
It renders the static content, hides it with CSS, loads the content over a JSON API, then fades in again.
Wat.

I've noticed _a lot_ more CloudFlare captchas since moving to Linux.
Every time, I have to "prove I'm human", can't even do it automatically.
Gotta get all those bots! (that their platform also hosts...)

> Burnham will be last Prime Minister of UK, says John Swinney
Be careful John, that's some monkey paw bullshit right there.
You'll wake up and Burnham will have staged a military coup and crowned himself king.

All this money flooding into Omarchy, why?
Where is all the money for the rest of the ecosystem? What about the projects Omarchy itself uses?
Why are they all funding this, I think is fair to say, extremist?

Recently drove an MG, which has "tiredness detection", which can detect you getting sleepy and warn you to stop and take a break.
I have a mild ptosis in my both eyes. I always look tired.
It would not shut up!

Channel 4 have serious ethics questions to answer over "The Great ADHD Myth?"
Running a trial on a child, stopping their meds during exams to "see what happens" for TV; the presenter popping an Elvanse with no titration or supervision, a psych suggesting we need to bring back "corporal punishment"

People getting worked up about AI leaving "watermarks" in the text it generates.
Maybe, if that annoys you, write the text yourself? Maybe use that millions of years worth of evolution on top of your shoulders.

This is what I've been tinkering with recently.
Trying to integrated directly with the Linux network stack.
I have basic link/address configuration working, as well as generic netlink and wireguard.
Need to focus tests, in particular, automate the integration tests.
