04:10 schestowitz__[TR]; <p>With multicore systems now common, the project has shifted toward scalability and reliability. The project's website claims that the system can handle up to at least a million user processes or threads. It's possible to run an entire kernel in user mode on DragonFly BSD.</p>
04:10 schestowitz__[TR]; <p>The system also uses its own filesystem, HAMMER. It can recover from crashes without running fsck on reboot and supports up to an exabyte in storage.</p></blockquote></li>

04:11 Techrights-sec2; the part about the host names. it is possible (with changes) to have
04:11 Techrights-sec2; techrights.org go to different machines depending on which protocol
04:11 Techrights-sec2; is requested. But the method of hostnames would have to be very different
04:11 Techrights-sec2; it works with A names
04:11 Techrights-sec2; not CNAMES
04:14 schestowitz-TR2; I pressed CRTL+S in the wrong windows AND machine
04:14 schestowitz-TR2; That seems to have stopped the ytalk session
04:14 Techrights-sec2; np
04:17 schestowitz-TR2; last line I for was "not CNAMES"
04:17 schestowitz-TR2; yes, I knowq this is in theory possible
04:17 schestowitz-TR2; but I never looked into it
04:19 Techrights-sec2; It'd require some changes. A names would have to be used differently.
04:19 Techrights-sec2; The question is how and where would it save time or effort.
04:20 schestowitz-TR2; btw, I've just almost emptied the fridge. freezer also quite vacant, by intention, as ws we plan to haul overe tons of discounted items this morning
04:23 schestowitz-TR2; the key idea is, plan time and place (small, quiet)
04:23 schestowitz-TR2; and reduce number of visits. when "everything must go" to time is optimal
04:24 Techrights-sec2; excellent. avoid crowds though.
04:25 Techrights-sec2; freezers are great for food storage, highly underrated
04:25 Techrights-sec2; some of the stores here have crowds at those hours nowadays :(
04:25 schestowitz-TR2; yes, we thought about buying more freezers, but considering the cost of keeping them connected and cost of purchase we were not sure it's economic
04:25 schestowitz-TR2; also, the priority this past week was to mostly empty the greezer
04:26 schestowitz-TR2; *freezer
04:28 Techrights-sec2; food banks are seeing growing needs
04:28 Techrights-sec2; dumpter divers were doing it for fun but some are not doing it only for fun
04:28 Techrights-sec2; now stores hid and/or lock their dumpsters
04:28 Techrights-sec2; https://freegan.info/what-is-a-freegan/freegan-practices/urban-foraging/
04:28 Techrights-sec2; the markdowns at the end of the day at the stores is not much of a discount
04:28 Techrights-sec2; here any more.

In this submission, we urge the TPSB to centre precaution, substantive equality, human rights, privacy protections, transparency, and accountability in its policy on the use of AI technology by the
05:20 schestowitz__[TR]; Toronto Police Services (TPS). Further, we implore the Board to continue to seek out the guidance and expertise of AI and technology scholars and advocates; equality and human rights experts; affected communities and their members, including historically marginalized communities; and other relevant stakeholders when developing and implementing policies related to the adoption and use of AI by the TPS today, and into the future. Finally, we
05:20 schestowitz__[TR]; recommend that the TPSB place an immediate moratorium on law enforcement use of algorithmic policing technologies that do not meet minimum prerequisite conditions of reliability, necessity, and proportionality.1 We appreciate and recognize that our comments will be shared publicly.</p></blockquote></li>

05:41 schestowitz__[TR]; <p>When I present my arguments on the subject, the most frequent argument I hear in response is something like the following: artists have to eat, too. The answer to this argument is so mind-bogglingly obvious that, in the absence of understanding, it starkly illuminates just how successful capitalism has been in corrupting a broad human understanding of empathy. So, I will spell the answer out: why do we have
05:42 schestowitz__[TR]; a system which will, for any reason, deny someone access to food? How unbelievably cruel is a system which will let someone starve because they cannot be productive within the terms of capitalism?</p></blockquote></li>

15:39 schestowitz-TR2; if I believed in publishing books (dying form of literature; young gen too lazy),
15:39 schestowitz-TR2; I would maybe have written something in long form about what I learned
15:39 schestowitz-TR2; about boycotts (BN), censorship on the Net (or Web), among other things
15:39 schestowitz-TR2; if the aim is reach and impact, then routine publication works better

15:39 schestowitz-TR2; "who reads them?"
15:39 schestowitz-TR2; [silence, no comment]
15:44 Techrights-sec2; yes, young are too lazy and unterained to read long form material at all
15:44 Techrights-sec2; let alone books; they're too busing flicking their thumbs at Facebook
15:44 Techrights-sec2; realestate
15:44 Techrights-sec2; and the attention spans and ability to concentrate are /completely// lacking

16:09 schestowitz-TR2; We bought 3 mice of a brand we found durable, GXT
16:11 Techrights-sec2; very good. it is hard to find strong mice that are comfortable.
16:11 Techrights-sec2; it's very difficult to find any wired mice for that matter
16:11 schestowitz-TR2; yes, but they exist and some can be good. took ages to find, now I am a loyal customer
16:12 schestowitz-TR2; they cost 10 to 15 pounds and last years, despite many falls
16:14 Techrights-sec2; i notice that the companies which make mice change the models too much
16:14 Techrights-sec2; ^w often
16:14 Techrights-sec2; so if you find a good one, it is a discondinuted model by the time it proves
16:14 Techrights-sec2; itself
16:14 schestowitz-TR2; same as cars
