  2. Big Picture Science for Dec. 22, 2025: Movie Mayhem

    Science fiction movies force us to face a multitude of end-of-the-world scenarios. Whether the final curtain is dropped by rampaging aliens, killer rocks from space, or virus-infected zombies, these big screen glimpses of a dystopian future are as tantalizing as they are frightening. But one American city seems to be a favorite backdrop for stories of mass destruction. We speak with a cultural critic about why New York City is often the chosen setting for disaster films, and what dystopian fiction reveals about our shifting anxieties about humanity’s future no matter where we live.

    Movies discussed include Deep Impact, Escape from New York, Planet of the Apes, King Kong, Cloverfield, Deluge, Failsafe, The Day After Tomorrow, AI: Artificial Intelligence, Contagion, I Am Legend, and Seth’s very own short film: The Turkey that Ate St. Louis

  3. @fefe_interim

    "selbstblockierende Taxis" wäre wohl die angemessenere Bezeichnung 😄

    Es sollte doch bei so viel Technik eigentlich nicht so schwer sein, im Falle einer Störung noch einen #failsafe einzubauen, der irgendwie versucht, das Fahrzeug graceful aus dem Verkehr zu ziehen nicht als Hindernis herumstehen zu lassen... sollte man denken.

    Menschliche Fahrer würden satte Bußgelder kassieren. Eventuell könnte das in diesem Fall ja auch motivierend wirken.

    Thanks. I'll add it to my watch list & cross my fingers I don't giggle during the serious moments!

    This is from the same book as Dr Strangelove, right? Can a Strangelove fan watch this with a straight face?

  6. Failsafe rm, chmod & chown

    Don't let a tiny typo ruin your system!
    Put these aliases into bashrc/zshrc before you experience an accidental chmod 777 / by yourself.

    For GNU coreutils:

    alias rm='rm --preserve-root -v'
    alias chmod='chmod --preserve-root -v'
    alias chown='chown --preserve-root -v'
    

    For Busybox that doesn't support this flag:

    # /etc/bash/bashrc or ~/.bashrc
    
    real_rm=$(which rm)
    real_chmod=$(which chmod)
    real_chown=$(which chown)
    
    _preserve_root () {
    	for i in "$@"; do
    		# remove meaningless cwd dots and double slashes
    		i=$(echo -n "$i" | sed -E -e 's#/\.(/|$)#/#' -e 's#/{2,}#/#')
    		# if arg does not point to root, go on
    		[ "$i" = "/" ] || continue
    		# otherwise return error
    		echo 'Operation not permitted on root' >&2
    		return 1
    	done
    	return 0
    }
    
    rm () {
    	_preserve_root "$@" || return 1
    	"$real_rm" "$@"
    }
    chmod () {
    	_preserve_root "$@" || return 1
    	"$real_chmod" "$@"
    }
    chown () {
    	_preserve_root "$@" || return 1
    	"$real_chown" "$@"
    }

    Solang unsere Städte keine failsafe Infrastruktur haben und man diese Verkehrsgetöteten achselzuckend als Preis für unsere automobile fReIHeiT abtut, werden wir in täglicher Regelmäßigkeit solche Meldungen lesen müssen in denen dann noch oft die Schuld dafür nicht den Verursachern sondern den Opfern zugeschrieben wird.

    #People as the non-automated #failsafe catch to stop the crap before it gets too big to hit the fan.

    #Heureka Ich erinnerte mich an die alte Anleitung auf unserer #Freifunk-Seite freifunk-badoeynhausen.de/2015 zum Nutzen des #Failsafe-Modus.

    Das hat dann auch tatsächlich funktioniert. Bei einem Knoten nicht auf dem ersten gelben Port, sondern auf dem zweiten, aber es klappte. Meine 1043 sind alle wieder funktional. #TPLINK
