Jesus christ, Vermont DCF, what the fuck?
I'm not sure I can express how horrified I am at their actions here.
They surveilled a woman through her pregnancy, used information she provided to counselors to determine before her child had been born that she should lose custody (on false pretenses, claiming in an affidavit that the child had already been born), and tried to use court action to compel her to get a C-section (which she eventually did voluntarily), then took custody of the baby before she could hold it, and kept custody of the baby for 9 months in foster care before being forced to return the baby to the mother as they had no grounds to separate the baby in the first place.
And this is a state that has reproductive rights protected in both its constitution and laws.

Spent a while trying to debug why I could run a DHCP server one ethernet port on a NUC, but not the other one.
After banging our heads and finding that everything else worked other than running a DHCP server on that port, finally figure it out: vPro/AMT/whatever it's called intercepts DHCPOFFER packets sent on one interface, as it interprets them as control packets for AMT. You need to disable AMT in the BIOS in order to be able to run a DHCP server on that port.

Hey folks on Bluesky! This account is bridged from an ActivityPub (Mastodon) server.
I see that some people have replied to my bridged account, but I can't see those replies unless you also opt-in to bridging your posts to ActivityPub.
For your replies to come back to me, you have to follow @ap.brid.gy on Bluesky; that will set up the bridge to allow your posts to be visible on ActivityPub servers.
So please, if you want me to be able to see your replies, follow @ap.brid.gy. Unfortunately there's no way to make that linkify properly, you'll just have to search for it.
See here for details: https://fed.brid.gy/

So, my partner and I are both on the market for new Linux laptops.
In the past I've gone mostly with Lenovo, as they have a good range and fairly good linux compat, but I haven't been terribly thrilled about the longevity of them, so if there are other good options to look at I'd be interested.
I'm looking for something with a decently large screen (15-17") and reasonably powerful/lots of RAM. Not too concerned about graphics/gaming, but HiDPI preferred. Also reasonably cool running preferred; I actually use my laptop on my lap, and my work Dell laptop gets too hot for that to be comfortable, I need to stack a book in between.
My partner prefers something smaller/lighter (12-15" screen), and a Wacom screen for art.
Are Lenovo still the best place to be looking, or is there anything else I should be looking at? Framework certainly looks interesting from a repair/upgrade angle. System76 has long been a Linux laptop manufacturer, so I'd like to support them, but in the past their laptops have been kind of bulky and uncompetitive on price/performance. I don't think either Framework or System76 has laptops with a pen display for my partner.
Anyhow, open for suggestions from anyone who's had good or bad experiences buying Linux laptops in the last few years.

Oh, that's neat. The Mastodon translation feature applies to alt text as well, which helps me with translating memes.

Disaster prep tip: if possible, have a bicycle available for evacuation.
Folks evacuating from the Pacific Palisades fire in cars got stuck in gridlock, fled their vehicles without leaving their keys in, leaving the fire department to have to bulldoze the abandoned cars out of the way in order to get to the fire to continue fighting it.
A bicycle isn't an option for everyone, but the roads aren't designed for everyone to flee by car at once. If even substantial fraction of people evacuate by bicycle instead, it would cut down congestion considerably. In that kind of traffic, you're going to be able to move faster by bike anyhow.
Other great options would be a motorcycle, or a bus. The latter relies on government or disaster management organization prep and training, but it would also vastly reduce the congestion when trying to evacuate.
In a sudden evacuation emergency, a car can become more of a liability than an asset.

This language actually syntax highlights its "transpose" operator with the trans pride flag colors?
Also the "both" operator with bi flag colors.
Wow. I guess the things you get to do when you write your own web-based editor and execution environment.

A little bit disappointed that their final recipe is just "make a starch slurry with corn or potato starch, and then blend the cheese in", which kind of feels like cheating.
A good cacio e pepe recipe should tell you how to properly get the right starch concentration just from the cooking water of the pasta itself, an extra step to prepare a starch slurry with a different starch seems like it defeats the pure simplicity of what cacio e pepe is supposed to be.

You know a paper is going to be good when they mention in the introduction other papers that have won the Ig Nobel Prize.

My partner has been exploring their Italian heritage recently, so trying an Italian New Year's dinner tradition: lentils and sausage. The sausage is zampet, which is a variety that only appears to be available in Barre, VT, brought over from Swiss Italians along with granite carvers, though seems to be related to zampone, one of the traditional sausages for New Year's meals. The lentils and slices of sausage represent coins, as a good luck charm for prosperity in the new year.
