I am just banning large swaths of IPs. Banning most of Asia and the middle east reduced the amount of bad traffic by something like 98%.

Reading this, I am so happy that my first language was a scheme where I could see the result of the first optimization passes. This helped me quickly develop a sense for how code is optimized and what code is eventually executed.

I think it is. These people need to know we find them ridiculous. We should not, however, understate the danger of what they are doing.

Can I use podman desktop to manage my quadlets on a server over ssh? That would be awesome.

Even worse: the Swedish translation is lacking, so I use English. But my emails are often in Swedish. Making åäö and aao equal is never what I have ever wanted. Not as bad as gnome which - in addition - has not let me reliably set things li

(in Sweden) I would say that 90% of people driving off the road where my parents live (based on people I have talked to or helped) have friction tyres. I tell people "if you ever plan to leave the city, get studs". Even in towns,

IKEA has, at least in Sweden, started publishing how much their lights flicker. I found that it is actually an upper limit for their lights. The dimmable ones flicker less for most of their dimmable range for example. Now, I only measured t

We have heard that housing shortage in Sweden will be solved by the market. The housing prices have increased by 300% in 25 years, yet we are building even fewer housing units today than back then.

There are already a couple of mutter bug reports regarding cursor stuttering. Mine is bound to be related to one of those. Anyway, I realized I really don't like gnome. I used it for 13 months and installed all different extensions to

My main screen does not have VRR. It runs at 60hz.

I wonder if this will also fix the problem i have with my mouse cursor only drawing at what seems like 24 fps. It is noticeably laggier than in KDE. It has something to do with drawing, because over some surfaces it doesn't happen, but

I think the idea of no expectation of privacy in public places crashes with the ever increasing capabilities of law enforcement and companies to register your activities and views. What is now registered with digital dragnets that can be qu

I am pretty sure this would be a crime in my home country. There are court cases cementing that anything except superficial photography/filming by law enforcement lacks any kind of support in law. There are even laws restricting use o

Mostly because they didnt consider the AOT compilation mature enough.

BSS ("keep Sweden Swedish") were Nazis. I am old enough to remember them heiling in the streets (real proper heiling, not the kind you accidentally do at a presidential inauguration. Twice). He never really managed to distance him

I realized just this month I miss the days of being able to crash my computer completely with a typo. Such a weird feeling. I was debugging some pcie passthrough issues this week and the feeling that the computer could go dark whenever I st

Chez scheme is still around and is a pretty stellar piece of software. I have found that finding bugs in smaller language implementations is uncommon, but not rare. At least once you leave the happy path. I have written well over 100k lines

What are you talking about? The sentiment towards USA has been positive, pretty much worldwide apart from the places you would expect (Russia, china, greater middle east, parts of the Balkans). In Europe it was pretty stellar until the Iraq

Trump is really showing the world that any kind of dependence on USA on any level is a liability. I wonder how long it will take for the US to rebuild the political goodwill he is burning.

I also believe there is a difference of expectations. The legacy system is often written to work with all edge cases that pop up, and in government software also to conform to the law. If you don't know the requirements you are bound t

Writing a program where a jit version is faster than the aot version is just an exercise in knowing the limitations of AOT. People have been doing runtime code generation for a very long time for exactly this reason. A general implementatio

A minor nitpick: ICs don't give that much benefit in monomorphic languages like scheme.

I intended to move my home server (an am4 system in an old fractal case) to a rack, but it just never happened. Instead I found that it lies perfectly at the bottom of the rack. I am probably never going to move that system over. I can stil

A war-time president? The UK and Canada postponed elections during WW2, but no one is calling Churchill a dictator. Using millennia-old definitions does nothing to further discussions.

Yup. I have spent enough time on the internet to instantly start thinking about how to get Sweden (or why not all Nordic countries?) banned. The guy seems pretty tragic though. It seems like all problems are someone else's fault, whil

Don't be silly. Have a look at all the waste that is being claimed and you will notice that the things that are questionable (apart from the irrigation in Afghanistan, which had some unfortunate effects) all sin up to less than a half

That is not how the EU does these kinds of things. These loans are without any expectations of payback.

Postponing elections during a war is nothing new, even in liberal democracies.

We are not angry at the US for defending the democratic world order. We are angry at the US for things like Gitmo, withdrawing from the Rome statute, supporting an alleged genocide in Gaza etc. What they are doing now is saying might makes
