@ryanc@infosec.exchange Yikes! I've been trying to get hold of those boards for half a year now with no luck. Almost all of Radxa's products are almost perpetually sold out, not sure if it's the general RAM shortage or something else. Good luck!

@juliette@mastodon.green Ed Yong’s “An Immense World” covers some of the research in this area in (IIRC) the last chapter. A quick online search so far hasn’t located a handy list of references however. I seem to remember restricting the emitted spectrum making a significant difference for insect life in particular as well however.

@eestileib@tech.lgbt @GinevraCat@toot.community @Cassandra@ottawa.place As I understand it, the infected passenger collapsed before takeoff, so the window of opportunity would have been small. Wide-body planes typically have the ventilation running on the ground too*, but if the FA got close, to check if the person was breathing, to help move them, etc. they'd be exposed to airborne pathogens. *Despite being on the ground with no pressure differential, it still tends to be 1000-1500ppm CO2, so I guess it recirculates even then.

@GinevraCat@toot.community @Cassandra@ottawa.place @peter@thepit.social So, the general advice when you come across evidence of rodent activity (droppings) is to mask up because Hantavirus goes airborne when you clean up and disturb the droppings or urine trails. I see no reason why human-to-human transmission would be anything other than airborne, and it would also readily explain transmission in the context of a cruise ship. So: absolutely mask up if you weren't already, but I doubt there's a truly novel transmission mechanism here.

@luckychronic @kkarhan @CStamp I guess I should qualify that we tend to fly with Lufthansa Group (LH, Austrian, Swiss) or if we have to, Ryanair, because they happen to fly relevant routes and minimise flight km for our location. We've also recently booked flights with various Asian airlines (inc budget) & didn't notice anything weird going on with their prices either.

@luckychronic @kkarhan @CStamp FWIW, I've never seen this happen when booking from Austria. I mean, sure, airline pricing is confusing. But there is a certain number of seats at each price, and people will buy them. And the available seats for each price tend to get recalculated/re-allocated once a week. But outside of that, the prices quoted for the same itinerary won't change. (Close to the flight date with few seats left it can of course sell out quickly.)

@jon (To be fair, it’s not *just* the French and Spanish railways trying to thwart our ambitions. Extending the Budapest/Vienna to Zürich sleepers through to Geneva would help reduce the complexity and risk. But I assume the Swiss wouldn’t want those trains potentially messing with their own beautifully crafted timetables, and the ridership to Zürich would probably already warrant running more trains anyway.)

@isaiah@mastodon.social Overall, I have no hard rules, my handling of this varies pragmatically from project to project. One consistent habit is rebasing on the main branch very regularly. I hate dealing with merge conflicts, and I hate nonlinear histories when tracing regressions. So even in projects with a policy to use merge commits, I will try to make sure the “loops” created by my merges will be as short as possible. I don’t use merge commits at all if I get to choose.

@isaiah@mastodon.social I usually switch between branches within one directory, but sometimes that is impractical. For example, when I was doing major work on QEMU, I’d have one checkout for the big feature and another for smaller things. A switch would usually trigger a significant rebuild, which took an annoyingly long time. For me, branches stay around for as long as they are unique. If its HEAD is just a commit that’s an ancestor of another branch, it can be deleted or replaced by a tag.

@isaiah@mastodon.social I‘m late to this party, but for me the answer to all of these is “it depends.” For one, it depends on the project & its processes. It also depends on the scope of the change and my overall involvement. I’ll usually create a branch if I know I’ll need to submit a PR/email patch (FOSS or team); I’ll also create a branch if I anticipate working on a feature over an extended period of time and expect to switch away from that work, e.g. for a bug; or that happens organically.

@elricofmelnibone @rolf This is a double-edged sword. There are quite a few bus stops next to playgrounds and exercise stations in Seoul, South Korea, and I lost count of the number of buses we missed because we failed to corral the kids and ourselves back to the stop in time when the bus did come.

@stsp @fellmoon @mntmn @chfkch @crowdsupply Physical DMZ and multi-WAN are why I like my router/firewall to have at least 4 ports. I’ve been looking at the Rock 5 ITX+ plus an ethernet card plugged into M.2 for this but availability has been terrible.

@MarcelNBG @piyuv @stux No, for some hotels they literally offer an “app discount” so you find the same room in the same place while logged in as the same user, and it’ll be 5% cheaper on the phone. It does only affect some specific places, and I haven’t seen it since 2024 so I’m not sure if it still exists. (It definitely saved us 5% on some bookings in Australia 2 years ago; still did the research on the computer first.)

@meena@cathode.church In medical research, you first have to show a treatment does no harm. (Or at least exhaustively enumerate and quantify the risks, then decide whether it’s ethical to proceed with proving efficacy.) I have my doubts the chatbots could clear that hurdle if such a standard were applied.

@fabienmarry Hopefully @katemorley can clarify, but my guess is that 2026 is still young and so far only has only had winter months flowing into what I assume is a mean value. I would definitely expect grid demand to be higher in winter. (Regarding the downward trend of the 2010s, I think much of the developed world has seen a similar trend thanks to efficiency improvements in lighting & domestic appliances.)

@yosh@toot.yosh.is It'll be a really big deal if it works & widely rolled out. There must be a significant population living with undiagnosed Lyme. I suspect I was probably infected in childhood or early/mid teens. There is no awareness for low-level chronic symptoms which in retrospect were definitely there. I started getting more severe symptoms aged ~29. I saw about 8 doctors with no diagnosis; my wife eventually figured it out after much research, then it still took 4-5 doctors until someone believed it.

@phoerious@mastodon.social @fishidwardrobe@mastodon.me.uk @Edent@mastodon.social These things have been permitted and widely available in Austria for 5 years or so, but only if you have a smart meter (even running in "dumb" mode) which counts outflow separately from inflow. The energy suppliers don't like meters running in reverse. If you have a feed-in contract, you'll be paid for what you feed back into the grid (typically much less than energy you buy from them); if you don't, you won't.

Replying to @teadrinker@aus.social
@teadrinker@aus.social @robotistry@mstdn.ca In my experience, it’s mainly the corn flour that makes it go hard on cooling. (Microwave to soften!) Replacing corn with combinations of buckwheat, rice, chickpea, soy,… flours tends to largely solve that particular problem. The different flours all have their own characteristics, so finding the right combo for each type of bake can be tricky. Being more specific about the way it goes wrong may help with getting better suggestions here. Keep at it!

@_elena It’s probably been wintering in a crack around a window frame or similar. If your room wasn’t heated before and now it is because you’re staying there, it’ll have woken up from its hibernation due to the sudden rise in temperature. Probably best to transfer it somewhere it can find a resting spot where it’s neither unnaturally warm nor too cold until other insects (food) come out in the Spring. Somewhere like a garden shed.

@europeanspodcast@mastodon.social In addition to the issues already mentioned, I also miss the ability to check in or cheaply send luggage. (The latter is possible with Yamato/Ta-Q-Bin in Japan & Taiwan for example.) Dragging your bags around is OK if you‘re all able-bodied adults. But it becomes a major pain with kids or mobility-challenged people. Every year I look whether the family trip to visit my in-laws is doable by train, but it’s just too painful.

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange @baldur@toot.cafe Yeah, and more specifically, the EU's CRA hasn't really shown its teeth yet, for example. A bit like the DSA took a while before it really showed any effect. (And while we've seen some effects, I'm hesitant to call the current stalemate a benefit yet.) But in theory, LLM-generated software ought to be a liability powder keg in the context of the CRA.

@sinbad I don't think it's just maintenance or quality that's going to come crashing down. From what I see, this stuff is messing with people's brains big time. I don't want to land anywhere on the spectrum between burnout and psychosis, so I'm going to sit this one out while people volunteer or are put forward as guinea pigs by their employers… My sanity is more important to me than staying relevant. I've sat out plenty of other shiny new things and somehow I still find ways to get paid.

@NeoFox@furry.engineer @kwf@social.afront.org I assume that’s why that last prism is so big? Presumably a cascade of prisms or something like thin film optics internally to pry those wavelengths apart? I mean if you think about how little say the red and yellow in white light diverge after going through a prism, and there’s about 150nm or 20% wavelength difference there - single digit nm deltas in 1000nm-ish light (<1%) must be pretty tricky to separate.
