After updating the kernel under #Debian, the file
/var/run/reboot-required
is no longer created.
I was wondering why my ansible playbook doesn't reboot the machine anymore

Some years ago, my son said, "Let's play Minecraft!"

Then he watched me open a terminal on #Linux and type:

He asked what on earth I was doing.

I still wonder sometimes.

…we can’t address climate breakdown because we have the wrong incentives.

Caring more about something we’ve made up (money) than what we’re made of will go down in history as the biggest collective mind fk in history.

In parallel to antibiotics that once worked which are now becoming redundant (also in the news this morning), the worth of the vast pools of capital ‘looking for a return’ will evaporate mastodon.social/@urlyman/11204…

Will falling oil prices hurt #Russia?

The Central Bank of Russia has very limited liquid reserves. It could not do much itself to support the ruble if export earnings collapse, but it could try to tap Russia's "shadow reserves".

One of the many interesting puzzles of Russia’s new post-sanctions economic reality is where Russia’s trade surpluses have gone over the past 2-3 years.

Micropayments via GiveSendGo financed the convoy blockades that cost the Canadian economy billions in losses in 2022.

Using AI, small sums can be sent automatically at scale & remain under the reporting threshold.

It's why the IRS wanted the threshold for reporting to be changed to $600.

Threat funding of far right movements.

Threat funding using PayPal & GoFundMe has already happened. Cryptocurrency is the next one to scale up.

People ask if AI will make us devs obsolete. Maybe someday, but today’s LLMs? Nah. The AI bubble will burst, and only a few legit uses will survive. Until then, keep your keyboards handy! 🚀👨‍💻 #TechHumor #AI

in reply to Democrats Abroad

I'm in Australia and we have compulsory voting. I think it does offer a level of protection from extremism. For one thing the parties don't obsess over voter supression and turn out, they just compete over votes. People grumble, but voting is bit like going to a school fete, most of the voting stations are in schools, it takes minutes and you get a sausage sandwich and a cake, and the school raises some money. They even call the sandwiches "democracy sausages."
