So I use castget gratuitously to the point of madness. But my biggest problem with it is that sometimes people completely garbage out their RSS feed and it detects as all new.
This isn't CastGet's fault - and this isn't a complaint.
I just downloaded The Exploding Helicopter Podcast to the start of history and am sad
A knight is, at their core, a student, a lifelong learner undergoing a journey of many phases, however it isn't until they achieve a certain understanding of gallantry that they can take the final step to knighthood
This final act of knighthood is formally known as the Dub Step

So we have to do a bunch of security trainings again in August or whatever - and I know I hate all of the security trainings - but I was wondering about fairly seriously suggesting doing an Engineering Wide "Watch the training and mock it" session
The actual goal being to have people discuss the modules and what we think is good and bad about it - and why we think things are bad/irrelevant in a productive way, with an informal feel - in order to get real security awareness training done but without making it feel as bad
How do you feel about that?
Well, I just made this suggestion to my other half in management and see if I can get this to be formal policy
We don't *make* security training
We make FUN of them
I feel bad for the security training companies - they're impossible to do a good video for, it's an impossible job, and I'm sorry this is my best solution to make it engaging

Ok - so full disclosure - I hate American Gods - it's a Bad Book (imo)
But I read up to the end of the City of Glass issue yesterday, and I feel like Neil Gaiman's Sandman is just... trying to shock me repeatedly, and its calls to empathy refuse to not try to make me feel bad for my empathy by revealing a secret that the person I was empathizing with *suuuuuucked* retroactively. "You think this woman is bad?! Well she's a lesbian! HA! You empathized with her for being a lesbian! BUT SHE'S PHYSICALLY ABUSIVE HA!", and like, that's bad empathy, and bad storytelling, and it's not *fun*.
And uh- question - Morpheus definitely is implied to have forced himself on Nada? Right? That's what the closing paragraph says? I'm supposed to like this shitty person? Or like, at least think he's worth following?

I am running a Cyberpunk game where a corporate has their headquarters outside a city, but few onsite apartments, so the people who are *in power* all do what is known locally as The Commute, a two hour traffic jam.
The world is making it clear that there's off-road public transit available, and there's an economy of people doing bike food deliveries, prostitution, and busking along the track for the four hours a day people are spending in traffic.
All for the right to drive to work in their own car.
And - Cyberpunk hurts me

Hey #OpenBSD people - are you getting perl errors after upgrade to 7.3?
I've upgraded 3 servers successfully so far, but bringing up my webserver gives me:
web$ sudo sysmerge
doas (silverwizard@web.obscuritus.ca) password:
web$ sudo pkg_add -u
Zlib.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got first handshake key 0xec00000, needed 0xeb80000)
web$ CPAN and CPANm both give me the same kind of errors. perl-migrate-modules gives a similar error. I rolled back the update and pkg_add work, and I ran perl-migrate-modules to try to get XS versions and things correct, and then I ran the upgrade again, with same issue.
web$ env

web$ My env is pretty empty, and I've tried deleting my perl5 directory, and other site packages (pkg_add explicitly no_libs them but you know).
Anyone else seeing this?

@Andrew Hewus Fresh yeah, Perl migrate modules is for migrating your installed modules to a new Perl binary apparently, but yeah
Yeah, I nuked my perl5 dir and it definitely no_libbed
It definitely is weird because Zlib wasn't there but I've installed three servers successfully from this install73.iso (but used the http mirror to get the files... On all servers), and it's persistent on this server and only this one...
It's super odd

@Andreas vom Zwenkauer See I have a hard time taking these sets with a very low price per part seriously, in part because they're standing on the shoulders of the elephant in the room. For example, I sold today a couple of LEGO sets that were released in 1993, so 30 years ago, and not only the parts I found for these sets in the bin I sorted were in great condition (albeit a little dirty), I was able to replace most missing parts seamlessly with much newer parts. These for me are proofs of an ongoing quality commitment dating back at least 30 years that none of the newer LEGO-compatible brick ventures, however well-intentioned, can ever claim to match.
One of the reasons the LEGO second-hand market has always been very strong is the normalization LEGO introduced in the 70s (!). As a result, LEGO parts always have been a known quantity, and you can build a business based on trading genuine LEGO parts because of this ongoing trust in the product itself. Is LEGO overcharging for new sets? With such an incredible engineering legacy for what was considered like mere children toys until very recently, they damn well can, and I'm absolutely not ready to quit this field because of outlandish price-per-part claims.
Let's talk about the BlueBrixx second-hand market in 30 years, shall we? 😄

The fact that I was in BitCoin in like 2009 (it was before I started dating my wife, and that was May 2010, which leave a very thin window), and did AI stuff even before that, makes brinigng me into Crypto and AI chats incredibly weird.

As AI art gets better and better at photorealistic art, it gets worse at *art* and better at *deception*. But of course, as it gets worse, it gets worse at *art* and better at *making garbage*.
There is an obvious solution to this dilemma.
@mike No I agree
I was thinking about this image I saw of someone next to a TV with a person in the TV coming out to hug them.
If an AI made it, it would look bad and dumb
If a human made it, it means something weird and personal
Kind of like how sometimes who the artist is matters. The context of a work’s creation changes its meaning. But, a human still made potentially thousands of creative choices in the creation of an AI generated image, in much the same way a photographer or director does. An AI didn’t decide that out of it’s quasi-infinite potential outputs, a certain one should be circulated on social media with a certain presentation.
