    The anti-housing people sending me flyers in the mail claim one place is &quot;mostly studios; 80% luxury&quot;. I don&#39;t think I&#39;ve ever seen anything I&#39;d call a Luxury (393sqft) Studio... Also the filed plans have 8 studio, 20 one bedroom, and 6 two bedroom units. It looks decent for small apartments.

    @Brendan @TheWarOnCars So instead she&#39;s going to get a bunch of &quot;does not follow through on promises&quot; criticism?

    @SRAZKVT@tech.lgbt @argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org @ariadne@social.treehouse.systems believe it or not, Fedora is still a community distro. In any case we don&#39;t really need to speculate about all the things LF could do.

    Saw The Odyssey. Without spoiling anything, what I&#39;ll say is that if you film in 70mm and do a lot of wide open night closeup shots, you&#39;re gonna have a bunch of shots of faces that are halfway out of focus.

    It is nasty out there in Camberville. Biked two miles home and I smell like I light my house with coal.

    Dunno why this isn&#39;t what I expected ordering a spool of 100&#39; of wire from DigiKey.

    Oh, by the way, Microsoft&#39;s 2011 UEFI CA expired last week. The world did not end.

    TIL*: my retroreflective jacket is bad for photography. The &quot;are you looking through the eye hole&quot; sensor is pretty much perpetually triggered at any distance where I can reach the camera. Well, yesterday.

    Netgear is the first consumer router company to spam me about being compliant with Trump&#39;s FCC&#39;s policies. Coincidentally they&#39;re also a company I stopped buying routers from many years ago due to built-in backdoors they couldn&#39;t fix with a firmware upgrade.

    If you have anything to do with Secure Boot on a linux distro, I&#39;ve written a tool to help with the upcoming UEFI CA expiry and transition to the 2023 certificates, and I could use feedback. Here&#39;s my draft PR: https://github.com/rhboot/efivar/pull/294 . (Yes, putting it in efivar is somewhat arbitrary, but all the other options are about the same.) The idea here is that a distro will provide several of the same shim binary in their packaging, i.e. shimx64.msft2011.efi, shimx64.msft202...

    Anyone know what kind of board connector from the mid 90s has this footprint? I&#39;m pretty sure these are debug points on this board. (share with your electronics friends please?)
