Pushing to Live Soon

oday we are one week away from September and I will soon ‘push to live’ the new version of “Today in Techrights” and “Over at Tux Machines…”

Reaping What They Sow

he insensitive behaviour of Brett Wilson LLP last year [1, 2, 3] was a self-inflicted wound, as it was not the first time, far from it, but this time it was more blatant and likely intentional (they like to attack people during holidays, they effectively weaponise religion). In this particular case it was a mistake as they know that in this sector being seen as antisemitic is career suicide and, to make matters worse, their biggest client is alleged to be profoundly antisemitic. Freedom fighters don’t massacre dogs and civilians.

22-Year Record

oday I published 13 posts here, which probably is an all-time high for this blog or “Weblog” that began in 2004. That’s despite the fact we were out for Rianne’s birthday, so at least the day of this record will be a memorable one (the date).

More Activity Than Originally Expected

Personal stuff isolated:

Very Good Day Out

oday we travelled to 3 places (quite distant from one another). One of them had a beach-like feel to it, but Manchester has no beaches, the closest one can get to that are the reservoirs, the boat canal, or the port-like structures in Salford Quays. They’re not too far from central stations, the weather was perfect (blue sky, but not too hot), so we made the most out of it and everything went smoothly for Rianne’s birthday.

Evri Customer Services Seems to be a Bot and It’s Not Functioning

wrote to Evri today, early in the morning to be more specific, opening a second ticket after they had made an error by automation. Finally, after a week, I received a reply. Only after opening two tickets and further chasing the first (unhandled) one.

Ukraine’s Independence Day

he 24th of August is Ukraine’s Independence Day, not just Rianne’s birthday. She happens to know someone born on the same day (same year, too, so literally hours apart) and she sometimes sees her.

Outcomes Where Both Parties Lose

wrote something yesterday and it is something that seems to have attracted attention. My point was, sometimes the court says “you won”, but in reality it’s a bit like poker face (crossposted for emphasis with another title). Sometimes the judge knows upfront no money will be paid, as it simply cannot be paid, but then follows the procedures to set the records right for the court, not for parties. That’s just how the system works.

Time to Boycott Evri

ne week ago I wrote about Evri going really rogue, run by bots, and getting very basic things very wrong.

Thinking About Gemini Capsule for Schestowitz.com

adopted Gemini Protocol 6 years ago, a year after it was conceived. It has since then worked OK and several of our team nowadays manage capsules. The community has grown and people who read Geminispace have joined IRC (which is also nowadays managed by several of us; it is a neat little project of ours).

Happy 35th Birthday, Linux!

It was on August 25th, 1991, that the 21-year-old Finnish student Linus Benedict Torvalds made his now-famous announcement on the comp.os.minix newsgroup that he was working on a free operating system for 386 (486) AT clones, just as a “hobby”.

Shelly 3.1 Package Manager Is Out with Support for Building Arch Linux Packages

It writes makepkg-compatible entries and produces archives that pacman and other Arch Linux tools understand.

mesa 23.3.0-rc2

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 01, 2023

Hello everyone,


I'm happy to announce the second release candidate, 23.3.0-rc2.


As always, if you find any issues please report them here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/new


Any issue that should block the release of 23.3.0 final, thus adding
more 23.3.0-rc* release candidates, must be added to this milestone:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/milestones/44


The next release candidate is expected in one week, on November 8th.


Cheers,
  Eric
