  So I guess I'm one day late, but: yesterday was the third anniversary of Time's... exquisite choice of a headline: "How Ukraine's Dam Collapse Could Become the Country's 'Chernobyl'" https://web.archive.org/web/20230611134807if_/https://time.com/6286309/ukraine-dam-collapse-ecological-catastrophe/

  @ansol@floss.social @d3@ciberlandia.pt Por acaso sabem se isto de o SAPO Mail gratuito deixar de permitir acesso por protocolos abertos de e-mail está a receber algum destaque algures? Também não ando propriamente a seguir notícias tecnológicas de .pt, se calhar simplesmente passou-me ao lado. https://mementomori.social/@njsg/116490598402784833 https://mementomori.social/@njsg/116490570341279155

  @SDF@social.sdf.org @SDF@social.sdfeu.org Any idea why SDFeu's gopher server has been down since (according to a bboard post) at least the end of March? #sdfeu #Gopher

  Ah, SAPO Mail trying hard to compete with 1998-era Hotmail in 2026 by creating a lower tier without POP or IMAP... https://ajuda.sapo.pt/sapo-mail-premium-99980 #SAPO #enshittification

  @gnoll110@ruby.social @dianea@lgbtqia.space Now is this an overflow or a two-element linked list? :-P

  @pmjv I'd not be surprised if the most commonly used one out there was the padlock, sometimes used to illustrate the value of "only trust the site if there's a padlock in the address bar" and similar guidelines.

  @kkarhan@infosec.space @wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe @OS1337@infosec.space IMHO ed's usefulness isn't really dependent on the kind of terminal device. I often use it with X11 terminal emulators :-)

  @ciaran@mcnulty.social @saramg@fosstodon.org It does sound unusual that they'd run ads specifically for this without some event to tie it into.

  @jgoerzen You mean now e.g. setting consoleblank=X will really just produce a black screen after X seconds? (I don't think this is related to dri and kms, at least not only that. I'd have to check but I think some of the setups of mine where the linux virtual console could trigger screen sleep with older versions were using dri and kms? I had to do a hardware change and getting this set up was one of the things I've been postponing. Maybe I should look into this soon...)

  @tante@tldr.nettime.org @glitzersachen@hachyderm.io @plup360@mastodon.social Did I miss something while reading or that article doesn't even mention the issue of ionizing radiation in computing machinery, or the possible costs of rad-hardened hardware? Might be especially relevant for something which seems to require massive computing power and which deals with massive amounts of data.

  @inthehands@hachyderm.io A challenge is when will news outlets finally stop just boasting "de-escalating" every time ICE or other Trump administration officials say it, and start using the word only when there's something tangible, verifiable, true. But if I earned a dollar (adjust for inflation) by every time a news outlet got away with misinformation or misreporting because they were using the words which were originally said by some lying party... well, I'd be in a differen...

  @pwaring@social.xk7.net But cards can have / be in more than one network. In Portugal most, if not all, banks normally issue cards with both Visa/Mastercard and SIBS Multibanco. (Although whether this suffices probably depends on the degree of independence that's desired.)

• Post #316009

  @pwaring@social.xk7.net Can't such a national/regional network just be used alongside with the international network(s)? Or what you're concerned about is merchants only accepting the national network?

  @paulasimoes@ciberlandia.pt Entretanto, numa situação que ainda tenho de perceber melhor, agora há comboios na Linha do Vouga a ficarem parados porque "já não existem no mercado" equipamentos que a CP não tem em número suficiente para o regime de exploração usado na Linha. Estas coisas põem-me sempre a perguntar-me se o principal entrave não será mesmo o desleixo de permitir tecnologia proprietária (se bem que desconheço por completo se é esse o caso do equipamento para o SISE). htt...

  @s1m0n4@ohai.social @akiran_n@onlyfranz.com I thought Maestro just worked over Mastercard's network, as did Visa Electron work over Visa's. Other than transactions themselves being handled on-line rather than off-line, is there much of a difference between Electron and other cards from Visa? #EMV

  @Li@tech.lgbt @wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe At least many years ago I recall some remark that iOS made it difficult or impossible to keep the IRC connection alive in the background, due to iOS itself. Now maybe I'm misremembering, and I've never used iOS myself.

  @wyatt@soc.megatokyo.moe *sigh* the days when adding "m." before a hostname would load a better and more compatible version of a site... Now that was a nicer era.
