@tubetime @FunkyBob

That was a great video. Thanks @Tube🍂Time! I found myself continually unforgivably, dismissively muttering, "So what? So what? So what?" (Recalling that I still have 3 tube testing machines) until you got to the ESD and especially EMP - one might wonder why much of our defense industries settled entirely on LSI, then VLSI, etc., etc., instead of backup primary systems incorporating this "In between" manufacturing technology that you pointed out, which would certainly have benefited from advances in microminiaturization just the same - mostly, anyway.

But then there's that dialog that for some reason just came to me from "White Squall" where the Captain of the Cuban warship smashes the binnacle compass with his rifle butt and Jeff Bridges exclaims in Spanish, "Real sailors need only the stars overhead to navigate".

That was a really kewl project you built. How do you source the parts nowadays for things like nuvistors? There's very few Electronics surplus/liquidator type stores out there anymore.

I'm still trying to suss out whether Chister the Molister in the pic below is a villainous deer in the headlights of having his superspy cover blown, or if he's the inspiration for that other cartoon character of scandalous nature.

16.0 Alpha 1 has arrived...

People ask me how come I often don't know these things... It's simple really. I'm on kernel-generic-7.2.4-x86_64-1 running #Slackware -current and don't actually bother to look up from the work I'm doing cause 16 is just a distro's version number, but 7.2.4 is a kernel. Officially, Slackware 16.0 Alpha is available w/the Linux huge 6.18.x kernel while 7.2.4 is in /testing.

Me, I'm just rolling along in production as I have been for close to 30 years now w/ Slackware - current looking back on the next upcoming release like it's something from yesterday lolz.

I do the same thing on #Debian (14/Testing/Forky) I just upgraded my kernel to 7.1.12+deb14-amd64 - so I'm not running that far behind the ultra-bleeding edge of Slackware, or what Arch and Gentoo users are either.

Anyway, you're going to hear more about the upcoming Slackware 16 release as the weeks go on and if there's one thing I can advise you of it's don't get caught up in the guessing game bullshit - Patrick will release it matter-of-factly w/o any fanfare and pretty much all bets will be wrong. The most you can do is to ask, "Is it soup yet?".

So here's the thread, and Patrick's response to the OP (who's running 7.3-RC1)

First discovered in 2002, paleontologist draw comparisons of #Dinocephalosaurus_orientalis with other aquatic species having no modern day analogs - why did the entire family of #Tanystropheidae or the genera exhibiting these morphological functionalities not continue?

Perhaps just as interesting is the convergent evolution (especially with respect to their necks) between that of Dinocephalosaurus and members of the Tanystropheus genus. A close resemblance on the surface, yet Dinocephalosaurus orientalis was strictly an aquatic species.

I've included an artists reconstructive rendition of Tanystropheus longobardicus for comparison between the two, but note that Dinocephalosaurus had four flipper-like feet of the same size, and unable to exist, or at least thrive in a terrestrial environment, where Tanystropheus exhibited larger feet in the rear - not unlike your hands being smaller than your feet.

And yes, as Yuki (@youronlyone) offers up as a contemplative inference, the whole "Dragon" and "Loch Ness Monster" corollaries are uncanny, raising questions as to why would pre-industrial societies actually have such fables, or in the case of the latter, claims of sightings, if not rooted in some previous observation by humans?

Dinocephalosaurus was extant from the late #Paleozoic (late Permian period) through the early #Mesozoic (early Triassic period) eras.

Reprinted from the Fediverse-City Matrix room, with permission from the author (myself):

I was just participating in another discussion elsewhere on the connotations and perceptions relating to a global feed of the entire known Fediverse, as it pertains to what various platforms call it (in their selector tabs).

Lots of suggestions, and every platform uses a different nomenclature. Some use 'global', some use 'live', and there's a few others as well that try to convey that type of extremely busy feed.

But then I touched on the subject of Local feeds - not all Fediverse platforms utilize this type of concatenated feed. I related that the Hometown fork of mastopub was [at least one of] the first to incorporate this as both a feed, and a type of post that is localized to only that particular instance.

I also, because I've read his contention, included the Dev's reasoning on having such a utility as a feature - because he intended Hometown to be a Fediverse platform that could encourage a Highly localized "community".

So you can select the other various, common types of scope for a post when making a post, as well as posting something that is only viewable to other users on your local instance - thereby supporting the 'local community only' aspect that has eluded and mostly deluded users on other platforms.

Why "deluded", because having a Fediverse account in the minds of most folks coming from the deprecated, monolithic silo space is something that has been heavily promoted by Fedizens as one of the reasons why it's better to use the Fediverse instead of those impersonal deprecated silo systems.

And that's simply not true.

Take me, for example. I have several accounts and interact using them with different circles of people (I won't get into the power of recursive circles as they were implemented in gplus). So I'mma just use mastodon.social, one of the biggest monolithic-like silo instances in the Fediverse, as an example here.

People there, most often n00bs from the November Rain or later) talk about the sense of "community" they have there, when they're really only speaking of the connections they have by following and being followed by not just people on that instance, but across the entire Fediverse.

The sense of community that almost everyone in the Fediverse perceives is mostly a compilation of the follows and followers that they each have, and is unique to themselves alone.

For example, I prolly know 4 or 5 people on each instance I have an account on. My community is comprised almost entirely of the direct connections I have made with others across the Fediverse at large, and yes, people on platforms with 'local-only' feeds to see my posts, know them to be local, but so do folks on other instances watching their 'global feeds' (or home feeds where someone they follow includes a follow of my account).

So to me, in my experience, my community is comprised of those who I've made connections with and the people they are connected to, with very little traffic from the local instance I am on at any given time.

To think that you're going to have a community on mastodon.social consisting of people primarily from that instance is a bit naive, IMO, coz your default feed grows exponentially with foreign user's posts the more you connect with anyone - not just the people you follow that are local to your instance. You see something, you interact because it's interesting, pertinent, or relevant to you - you don't do that because you've discerned that you will only interact with local accounts... that just ain't natural, human tendency.

So the creator of the Hometown fork realized that one type of vehicle in the feature set to mark this kind of delineation was that of the ability to post and see in your feed, local only posts, with the overt assertion that Hometown is a fork that in part, is a platform that can facilitate the social diaspora consisting of a 'mostly local' community.

Even entire instances, named or stated as localized geographically or topically, as having publicly open registrations miss this mark in a big way - people for whatever reason, want a Fediverse account, pick a host/instance, by whatever criteria, and then inadvertently end up creating their own diaspora of social connections across the entire Fediverse anyway.

nostr, Bluesky (when it eventually fully supports other instances), Threads (yeah, I know, it's a bastard, lolz), Minds, and other, bigger instances or monoliths, don't try to capitalize on this notion of "Your instance is your community" because overwhelmingly, it just isn't the case in reality.

I'm not saying that there aren't Fediverse instances are successful in cultivating small communities consisting of connections with others on those particular instances, but the most successful of those are the instances that have actually disabled Federation on those instances, lolz.... There's lots of examples of that, which is kewl - to each their own.

But the tendency of everyone to follow the Ew! Shiny! paradigm of simply liking and following what you like irrespective of whether it's on your local instance or not is the lions share of how people interact with each other.

Your thoughts, observations?

OMFG! I was still in high school then and his untimely death was such a shock!

I dunno who #Bruno_Gerussi is/was, but if he was prominent it is quite likely that there's some semblance of a collection in the #wayback_machine at https://archive.org :)

Well my friend, you know I'm a foodie so if you find more than the #Galloping Gourmet and other contemporaries do hit me back, okay?

@ChrisWellens

The short answer is that, "It's not about the air purifier - it's about getting you to install something that tracks and quantifies you, and data mines your privacy."

In this case, you're not getting something for free - like Faceplant or InstaSPAM, you're actually paying money for the exclusive privilege of making yourself the product.

On another note, I feel your pain. I was almost incinerated in the #August_Complex fires in #Humboldt.

Here's s lolz moment...

Just watched a #Techlore video at #Odyssee on yesterday's events concerning "Linus Tech Tips" channels getting pwn3d.

I didn't realize there were a few million followers. I stumbled upon that YouTube Chan a few months ago when they held a, "Use a Linux distro exclusively for a month" challenge, and from install to completion of assignment those #Bozo's continued to hard fail all over the place for the entire duration... We're talking serious #boneheads!

Not a good thing for #FOSS and #Linux Advocacy considering their massive viewership... which made me think...

Are they really that freaking stupid?

Remember, stupid goes all the way to the 🦴 bone!

Well... Apparently they are! They've been pwn3d - hard fail boiz, hard fail lolz.

NOTE: They were #pwn3d through a simple #SIM_Swap #MFA (SMS) exploit. From what I understand, All of their videos were replaced with #CryptoBruh phishing videos.

@cwebber @spritelyinst

After a few years of following your invaluable input, I have to ask whether you've participated in the https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep community which addresses these very issues?

If not, then why not?

If so, what have been your personally most significant contributions to this #DeSoc and #legacy_silo_averting free namespsce?

Kindest regards,
