Le même chat vu de plus près en trois quart semble sourire. Le bout de son museau tend vers le beige-brun

So-called "technology transfer" at universities is a disease for [open] science. Episode #1451.

A student of mine asked the authors of a security paper, involving LLMs and cyberattacks, details about their experimental setting, which were crucial for reproducibility (and reviewability…).

Answer (from tech. transfer staff): « To receive the code and the prompts, [university] would need to enter into a license agreement (with strong confidentiality clauses and a $30,000 onetime fee) »

The new apt text UI feels so nice in daily use! Like a very modern tool, but modern in the best way possible, with all information easily accessible and some quality-of-life changes that are very minor, but still matter. Colors in the terminal can be a huge help for readability!
Since I use the APT cli tools a lot, this is super nice, thanks @juliank 😃

Two days before #Ubuntu 24.04 LTS releases, and the upgrade process seems quite badly broken. If you're an adventurous person, I'd wait for quite some time before upgrading...

Edit: With some brutal hardcore apt and dpkg, I fixed it.

I just put up some documentation, which I worked with @juliank on, for the new Ubuntu Snapshot Service. There are lots of interesting things I can guess people will use this for, but I'm excited to hear about all the things that I didn't think of:

Update on the optional systemd integration into postmarketOS :postmarketos:

The build infrastructure has been adjusted to be able to bootstrap pmOS with systemd (and usr merge) from regular Alpine.

Today the bootstrap binary packages have been built in an intermediate staging repository for x86_64/aarch64/armv7! 🚀

For users who attempted to run this earlier, now you don't need to do "pmbootstrap repo_bootstrap" yourself anymore. Advanced users can give it a try:

Apparently inefficient regular
expression complexity warrants a CVE.

Description states that "Affected is an unknown function".

And in "no shit, Sherlock" news: "Contrary to the belief that RTO boosts company value, the analysis revealed that RTO mandates are more likely in firms with poor recent stock performance and have had no significant impacts on firm profitability or stock-returns. Moreover, a notable drop in employee job satisfaction was observed, further questioning the efficacy of these mandates."

Did you know you can easily search through your own Mastodon posts?

Just include from:me in the search field.

Instead of this, you can include in:library to show posts you have interacted with or written yourself.

If you want to search through posts of a specific user, include from:username (the full username, including the instance)

If it doesn't work, have a look at this:

Maybe you've heard that people can be nonverbal or nonspeaking. But did you know there are many ways to be semi-speaking? I'll list some I just learned about below. Sing out if any of these resonate with you! @autisticadvocacy

With https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/d30e51aa7b1f6fa7dd78d4598d1e4c047fcc3fb9 #SLAB is now gone from the #Linux #kernel. SLUB thus is now the one and only, as SLOB was removed a few moons ago already. Congrats to @vbabka for these successful shrinking efforts!

The merge commit linked above also brought "SLUB: delayed freezing of CPU partial slabs", which can improve the performance in certain benchmarks. #LinuxKernel

Oh ffs, I can't deal with this constant backup bullying anymore.

It's been one month and my backup size has grown by 10% and exceeded its quota again.

I'm so tired of having to hunt down files, rewrite all my backups with potential data loss risk or just pay 10% more each month or two.

“Welcome to the joy of coding, a new show based on the classic Bob Ross series, the joy of painting. Ok let’s get started with some code…

So I’m starting off by opening up my IDE and, oh wait, just got a slack message, better respond to that.

Ok, that’s taken care of so in the IDE, oh wait pager is going off, one sec.

Ok, so anyway - the joy of coding. So let’s get started by, oh now it’s time for standup.”

I'm afraid to say I have not been tracking the state of the Ukraine war the past 3 months or so. Does anyone have a summary to get me up to speed?

I got lost in travel and sickness and work a bit.

In Case you were wondering: Yes, ICE trains are cheaper than regional trains on my main route.

I'm actually paying 49€ for the flatrate Germany-wide regional public transport ticket ("Deutschlandticket"), though.

I've tried and often bounced off of Mastodon in the past, but I'm here again to give the site another shake and see if I can finally make it work. New instance, new desire to find people and find a place for the site as a social media alternative.

A quick intro in lieu of a proper pinned post that I'll make in time: I'm an entertainment journalist covering games, film, anime and others with a center on the Japanese industry, alongside making games

Social media has been something I've always used, for a long time on Twitter but spent much of the last year primarily on Bluesky, which I plan to continue to use. That being said, I want to use Mastodon too, which requires finding the right people to follow and building a space that works for using it.

Want to meet new people, find new people, and enjoy some time here, hopefully!
