You should too before you post anything because they're going to lock this down. Just lots of good proof that they know him and were close enough to hangout with him during the destination Italian wedding. Maybe do a WGet if Flickr allows it. [03:12] schestowitz[TR2] It's funny Stephanie liked him enough to take pictures with. He didn't seem to like her and said she "makes art nouveau her entire personality." I like the dress, but it's kind of a dead giveaway that it's true. [03:12] schestowitz[TR2] I have more of an issue with all the National Geographic-style poverty tourism photos. I can say with a great deal of certainty because I was a photography major in college at this exact moment in 2009. I was aware and critical of how demeaning that style of photography is and was quite vocal about it with people I knew that went on "mission trips" and came back with photos like that.

[11:23] schestowitz[TR2][11:23] schestowitz[TR2]Uber, like many other U.S. tech firms, transfers information it collects about international users to stateside data centers. In July 2020, the European Unions top court struck down the framework over concerns about U.S. surveillance.
[11:23] schestowitz[TR2]Following the ruling, companies had to use a legal tool known as Standard Contractual Clauses, or SCCs, if they wished to transfer user data to the U.S. SCCs can only be used if certain conditions are met. Notably, tech firms must ensure that consumers will receive the same level of privacy as in the EU once their data leaves the bloc.

[15:07] schestowitz[TR2][15:07] schestowitz[TR2]iostat is a command-line tool used in Linux to monitor system input/output (I/O) device loading by observing the time devices are active with their average transfer rates. Primarily part of the sysstat package, iostat is invaluable for diagnosing performance issues related to disk usage, identifying bottlenecks, and monitoring the overall health of storage subsystems. On Debian Linux, iost [15:07] schestowitz[TR2] at can provide detailed statistics about CPU utilization, device utilization, and throughput, making it an essential tool for system administrators who need to manage and optimize disk I/O performance.

[16:27] schestowitz[TR2][16:27] schestowitz[TR2]A while ago a colleague of mine asked about our crash infrastructure in Plasma and whether I could give some overview on it. This seems very useful to others as well, I thought. Here I am, telling you all about it!
[16:27] schestowitz[TR2]Our crash infrastructure is comprised of a number of different components.

[16:28] schestowitz[TR2][16:28] schestowitz[TR2]The organization, which has been at the helm of supporting and advancing the FreeBSD operating system, will manage the investment. Scheduled to commence this August and extend through 2025, the initiative will focus on several critical areas:
[16:28] schestowitz[TR2]Zero Trust Builds: Upgrading tooling and processes to bolster security.
[16:28] schestowitz[TR2]CI/CD Automation: Streamlining software delivery and operations to enhance efficiency.
[16:28] schestowitz[TR2]Reducing Technical Debt: Introducing tools to maintain low technical debt.
[16:28] schestowitz[TR2]Security Controls: Updating and broadening security frameworks to aid regulatory compliance.
[16:28] schestowitz[TR2]SBOM Enhancements: Improving tools and processes related to the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM).

[16:31] schestowitz[TR2][16:31] schestowitz[TR2]Linus Torvalds announced the fifth release candidate (RC5) of the Linux Kernel version 6.11. This release contains a variety of relatively small changes, primarily focused on drivers, particularly for networking and GPUs.
[16:31] schestowitz[TR2]Other updates include improvements to filesystems like bcachefs, erofs, and smb, along with core networking enhancements and architecture updates.

[16:34] schestowitz[TR2]The Positron V3.2 has its origins in this design by K R A L Y N 3D, and the V3.2 version was turned into a kit by LDO Motors and Positron3D. There's also a reprap-style alternative that's slightly taller and a bit cheaper called Positron LT.
