That cactus on the right just adds to the confusing picture - my brain wanted to see a tail.

Or they're if cheaper because of subsidies, for example China's cars.

I think I've seen other nvidia users have this issue, and it turned out to be a problem with the driver not preserving font bitmaps. Does the corruption go away or change if you zoom in/out (i.e. change the font size)?

Translation of the article:

Yayoi Kusama, the world-renowned avant-garde artist and recipient of the Order of Culture known for her colorful polka dots, net patterns, and pumpkin sculptures, died of multi-organ failure at a hospital in Tokyo on the 14th. She was 97. A native of Nagano Prefecture, her funeral was held by close relatives. A memorial service is planned for a later date.

She moved to the United States in 1957 and was based primarily in New York until her return to Japan in 1973. She gained attention for her street performances protesting the Vietnam War, such as painting polka dots on naked men and women, earning her the nickname "The Queen of Happenings."

Her trademark countless polka dots and nets originated from hallucinations she had suffered from since childhood. She began drawing them as a way to escape her fear and anxiety. In addition to paintings and prints, she produced a wide variety of works, including "soft sculptures" made of stuffed fabric and the "Pumpkin" sculpture installed on Naoshima Island in Kagawa Prefecture.

Her international and domestic reputation soared from the 1990s onward; she represented Japan at the 1993 Venice Biennale and had a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York in 1998. Between 2011 and 2012, major museums across Europe and the United States held large-scale retrospectives of her work.

I'm so glad it's not another announcement that Voyager has left the solar system.

Yup, it's called Pad Kee Mao in Thai. Vietnam isn't known for its spicy food (there's a lot of French influence to their cuisine), whereas Thailand very much is the home of hot food.

Interesting, how come you've used it enough to have experience of two versions?

Ted retired last year so there's a bit more on him out there, but I didn't have luck searching for the word "stripes" in them - possibility a proper search would have more luck.

Good trivia, and I just learnt* that initially Ted Price, CEO of Insomniac Games, answered "over my dead body" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxsZXVtTIuU

* I'm not 100% sure it's true, but it's widely reported

A little late; amiga-news.de broke the news on the 11th, but the linked Register article covers his work well (and broke the news to me).

His most widely experienced work was a key component of the original Commodore Amiga's operating system. His port of Cambridge University's TRIPOS OS to the Motorola 68000 CPU became AmigaDOS. His rapid work getting it running on prototype Amiga hardware helped Commodore launch the machine in 1985 after its in-house OS project failed to deliver. As he put it himself: "As a result I have the distinction of having written software used by over 2 million users."

The article includes this interview with him from five years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pm-szurM5VY

It also points at the comments on Hacker News and Reddit.

I missed it last year, but not this time.

There's about 33 hours left of the sale at the time of this post.

Edit: it's finished now, but they have it every year in July/August. I watched their mastodon for the announcement.

The next release normalizes every ID in the database into a single format. It runs a one-time migration on first start. The PR with this change will be merged this weekend: https://github.com/navidrome/navidrome/pull/5824

If you run develop or auto-update, this lands soon (this weekend) and without warning. Make a backup of navidrome.db now. The migration is one-way, so rolling back (if needed) means restoring that backup.

The short version:

  • Takes ~30s to ~1m20s on my 96k-track library (QNAP Celeron). Scales with library size.
  • Everyone gets logged out once. Web UI and clients using the Navidrome API need to log in again. Subsonic clients authenticate per request, so they are unaffected.
  • Song IDs change, album and artist IDs do not. Clients that cache song IDs (offline downloads, cached playlists) may need a re-sync.
  • Cover art gets re-fetched, so the first browse after upgrading is slower.
  • Share links keep working.
  • Nothing is lost: favorites, ratings, play counts, bookmarks, play queues, scrobble history and Last.fm / ListenBrainz links all survive. No rescan needed.
  • One manual fix: .nsp smart playlists using inPlaylist or notInPlaylist keep the old playlist ID on disk and need updating by hand.

Full write-up: https://gist.github.com/deluan/917ebc243c8b486101de857ffae6739b

If you can, please test it with your favourite client once it is merged, and reply here (or on our Discord) if anything looks off.

EDIT: For app/client developers: I'll merge the topSongsByArtistId PR at the same time as this ID migration. This means that you'll be able to detect if a server is migrated by checking the getOpenSubsonicExtensions response and looking for the topSongsByArtistId extension.

This is good fun, as always, but I've gone afk and am not enjoying the mobile experience as much as desktop because I keep having to click through the welcome modal and/or deal with a screen covered in duplicate (and superseded) errors. Sometimes it's more errors than fit on the screen so I get it multiple times.

Please only one of each error.

I'm a little late with this news, but it's a good write-up.

The unread file was src/_probe/never_read_canary.txt, planted with a unique marker. Cloning the captured bundle recovered it verbatim along with the repo's full commit history, and the same test replicated on a second, unrelated repo.

The Linux kernel has recently been facing a series of discovered privilege escalation vulnerabilities, starting with the Copy Fail vulnerability and followed by subsequent vulnerabilities in the same spirit (Dirty Frag, Fragnesia). This development is part of a general trend where vulnerabilities are being found - and disclosed - faster than before. We expect it to continue, at least for the short-term.

The Gentoo Linux Kernel and Distribution Kernel teams are doing their best to keep Gentoo kernels secure. This includes both packaging the latest upstream releases as soon as possible, and backporting additional vulnerability fixes or mitigations whenever they become available. As example, while upstream kernel releases are still vulnerable to Fragnesia, the respective Gentoo kernels feature fixes from day one. At the time of writing, all supported Gentoo kernels feature the latest Fragnesia v5 patch. Please expect more updates. We recommend exploring ways to automate upgrading your kernel.

Please note that only sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel, sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-bin and sys-kernel/gentoo-sources packages are security-supported. The vanilla kernel packages are vulnerable at the moment. Other kernel packages may carry fixes, but they usually are slower to be updated. Additionally, we recommend running the latest kernel version (~arch or latest stable LTS), as upstream does not reliably backport security fixes to older versions.

My first thought was that Benn Jordan did a great bit of video journalism on this, but it's already linked from the article, although without any other mention of it.

CPUID has since confirmed the breach, pinning it on a compromised backend component rather than tampering with its software builds.

"Investigations are still ongoing, but it appears that a secondary feature (basically a side API) was compromised for approximately six hours between April 9 and April 10, causing the main website to randomly display malicious links (our signed original files were not compromised)," one of the site's owners said in a post on X. "The breach was found and has since been fixed."

I love Doom Bar and I'm not alone since it's among the bestselling cask ales in the UK, but it seems that the US owners are going for a quick payout by closing and asset stripping what's left.

I wonder how long until they start building houses or an industrial park on the old site?

A severed mosquito proboscis can be turned into an extremely fine nozzle for 3D printing, and this could help create replacement tissues and organs for transplants.

I've linked to a decent write-up on Tom's Hardware, but New Scientist covered it last week too.
