#OTD in 1844.

The first three of many theatrical adaptations of A Christmas Carol open in London.

An early theatrical production was A Christmas Carol: Or, the Miser's Warning!, a two-act adaptation of A Christmas Carol by C. Z. Barnett, first produced at the Surrey Theatre on 5 February 1844, just weeks after the publication of the novella.

The last time a bunch of Nazi's took over a coastal strip in order to construct a holiday resort we ended up with The Colossus of Prora.

@liaizon good idea, it will require a bit of work, but I'll add it to my todo list!


Want to help preserve data and information that's being removed from US government websites? Got a spare computer and some bandwidth?

Run an instance of the Archive Team Warrior VM and you'll contribute to the distributed downloading and preservation of stuff to the Internet Archive:

reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comme…

It's (relatively) simple to get up and running, and you don't need to have a ton of your own storage space to contribute.

I've started going through all the submissions for #foss-north. Lots of them, and lots of good ones. Setting the schedule will be a challenge!

Interesting. DuckDuckGo (the privacy search engine folk) has an AI Chat offering. Actually it's four chat apps accessed through one portal (duck.ai of course), ChatGPT, Claude, Llama, and Mistral.

Looks like we're going to be drowning in AI tools soon.

A #NixOS question:

Signal desktop runs at version x and newer version y is available in Nix.

I did "nix flake update" and "nh os switch --ask". No error.

(nh is: github.com/viperML/nh )

Then I closed Signal desktop and re-started the app again. Still running in version x.

I assumed that with the above procedure, when starting a tool it automatically opens up the most current version.

Where am I wrong?

in reply to Karl Voit

I'm not a nix expert, but how are you running it? If you're clicking an icon, it will be via .desktop file which will have the path to the binary hardcoded in it (I expect.) So if your desktop environment caches that..?
in reply to Steven Reed

@srtcd424 Yes, you're right.

I'm using xfce and the desktop file has the absolute path. When will that be updated?

in reply to Karl Voit

did the Nixpkgs update actually pull in the version of Signal that you expect? You can try e.g. `realpath $(which signal-desktop)`. Or I guess `nh` should have printed out version differences when you switched.


BREAKING NEWS 🚨

The US Treasury has brought in at least two people connected to the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, according to people familiar with the matter: Tom Krause, the chief executive of Cloud Software Group Inc. and Marko Elez, an engineer who has worked for SpaceX and social-media platform X.

Is it really an agenda item of Project 2025 to stop the social security of 72 million people in the US? Let the elderly, disabled and especially women slowly but surely die in poverty?

What I don’t get is why nobody called the police when Musk’s goons turned up and started dismantling the security of the US Treasury.

Hopefully all other departments are preparing their defences - fortifying physical and digital security.

However, people are taking on considerable personal risk by refusing to acknowledge the legitimate chain of command.

The only solution is to bring the fight to the people authorizing this criminality. That won’t be easy, but it’s necessary.

in reply to Justin Derrick

@JustinDerrick
Faced with a coup, if you find yourself in a position to prevent it, one would hope that at least some would be brave enough to disregard personal risk.
