If you’re being fediverse-specific you could set up your own instance, federate with everything, and have it save only the content you’ve interacted with. It’s a pretty narrow archive so it wouldn’t be too resource intensive. And if you’re techy it wouldn’t be too hard* to write a native activitypub client that did only this if you were active on eg lemmy and mastodon and pixelfed

Voting for Trump helped me reduce my holiday food bill. It also helped me clean out my Facebook friends list free of charge. 🇺🇲

A tortoise? What’s that?

 

By swapping a game binary for a modified one that gives access to the desktop he was able to trick the system into thinking he was playing authorized material, and even got local AI models to run on the 48GB VRAM a6000 card that powers the system. I can't imagine this hole will go unpatched for long though.

The data is all still there. They were using a subcontractor (who went under) that stored the data at Iron Mountain. Since the subcontractor was the customer and not PBS, PBS needs a judge to declare that they own the data so they can retrieve it from Iron Mountain.

Still, 3,2,1, folks.

Probably not. My kids are all monotonic.

Well yeah, otherwise they’d be called judgegullos.

The data is all there, the vendor they were using to manage the storage just went OOB, and they’re not yet being allowed to retrieve it from the vendor’s storage vendor, Iron Mountain:

The lawsuit filed in Denver District Court alleges that the station’s cloud-storage vendor, Open Source Storage, abruptly cut off access to Nine PBS’ data earlier this year without warning. It states OSS, which had a separate relationship with Iron Mountain to provide data storage, went “defunct,” leaving Nine PBS’ archives in a data center operated by Iron Mountain.

It’s a shame. Everyone looks good in pink.

Listen, I love biscuits n’ gravy, but if they come for my avocado toast they’ll have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands.

Sapiens is so heavily overfitted that I almost couldn't finish it the first time I read it through. You could say the same about Dawn of Everything , except that Dawn 's purpose was to show that there were not just counterexamples for many generally accepted things, but in some cases new evidence that totally overturns some of that "common knowledge."

 

A short, accessible explanation of how you can squish a (low-fidelity) image into a QR code and still have it be scannable. More retro than those fancy AI-generated ones, but nicer IMO.

One of my favorite books. Though I have to read it with 10 Wikipedia tabs opened.

I don’t like this headline. A human from 60,000 years ago would be anatomically identical to a modern human, brain included, so of course they mind would be able to produce sophisticated ideas. A better headline would have been about there are few examples of abstract mathematics from that long ago.

 

The Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN) has published the first global map of mycorrhizal networks: vast underground fungal filaments that connect with plant roots, exchange nutrients for plant-made carbon, and may channel a significant share of carbon into soils. The map estimates roughly 110 quadrillion kilometers of these networks worldwide and is intended to help scientists and policymakers include fungi in conservation, restoration, climate agendas, and carbon models.
