<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>

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>

the part about the host names. it is possible (with changes) to have

Techrights-sec2

techrights.org go to different machines depending on which protocol

Techrights-sec2

is requested. But the method of hostnames would have to be very different

Techrights-sec2

it works with A names

Techrights-sec2

not CNAMES

schestowitz-TR2

I pressed CRTL+S in the wrong windows AND machine

Dec 24 04:14

schestowitz-TR2

That seems to have stopped the ytalk session

Dec 24 04:14

Techrights-sec2

Dec 24 04:14

schestowitz-TR2

last line I for was "not CNAMES"

Dec 24 04:17

schestowitz-TR2

yes, I knowq this is in theory possible

Dec 24 04:17

schestowitz-TR2

but I never looked into it

Dec 24 04:17

Techrights-sec2

It'd require some changes. A names would have to be used differently.

Dec 24 04:19

Techrights-sec2

The question is how and where would it save time or effort.

Dec 24 04:19

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

Dec 24 04:20

schestowitz-TR2

the key idea is, plan time and place (small, quiet)

Dec 24 04:23

schestowitz-TR2

and reduce number of visits. when "everything must go" to time is optimal

Dec 24 04:23

Techrights-sec2

excellent. avoid crowds though.

Dec 24 04:24

Techrights-sec2

freezers are great for food storage, highly underrated

Techrights-sec2

some of the stores here have crowds at those hours nowadays :(

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

schestowitz-TR2

also, the priority this past week was to mostly empty the greezer

Dec 24 04:26

Techrights-sec2

food banks are seeing growing needs

Techrights-sec2

dumpter divers were doing it for fun but some are not doing it only for fun

Techrights-sec2

now stores hid and/or lock their dumpsters

https://freegan.info/what-is-a-freegan/freegan-practices/urban-foraging/

Techrights-sec2

Techrights-sec2

the markdowns at the end of the day at the stores is not much of a discount

Techrights-sec2

here any more.

this is why you must learn which stores and when. there are patterns

schestowitz__[TR]

<p>We commend the Toronto Police Services Board (TPSB) for engaging in this public consultation and welcome this opportunity to submit comments on the TPSB’s Use of Artificial Intelligence Technologies Policy (AI Policy). 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

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

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>

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

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>

schestowitz-TR2

if I believed in publishing books (dying form of literature; young gen too lazy),

schestowitz-TR2

I would maybe have written something in long form about what I learned

schestowitz-TR2

about boycotts (BN), censorship on the Net (or Web), among other things

schestowitz-TR2

if the aim is reach and impact, then routine publication works better

schestowitz-TR2

books are a stupid old vanity

schestowitz-TR2

"yes, maaaaa dear, I DO PUBLISH BOOKS!!"

schestowitz-TR2

"who reads them?"

schestowitz-TR2

[silence, no comment]

Techrights-sec2

yes, young are too lazy and unterained to read long form material at all

Techrights-sec2

let alone books; they're too busing flicking their thumbs at Facebook

Techrights-sec2

realestate

Techrights-sec2

and the attention spans and ability to concentrate are /completely// lacking

Techrights-sec2

in mnost AFAIK

We bought 3 mice of a brand we found durable, GXT

Dec 24 16:09

Techrights-sec2

very good. it is hard to find strong mice that are comfortable.

Dec 24 16:11

Techrights-sec2

it's very difficult to find any wired mice for that matter

Dec 24 16:11

schestowitz-TR2

yes, but they exist and some can be good. took ages to find, now I am a loyal customer

Dec 24 16:11

schestowitz-TR2

they cost 10 to 15 pounds and last years, despite many falls

Dec 24 16:12

Techrights-sec2

i notice that the companies which make mice change the models too much

Techrights-sec2

^w often

Techrights-sec2

so if you find a good one, it is a discondinuted model by the time it proves

Techrights-sec2

itself

schestowitz-TR2

same as cars
