@olives Some anime OP/ED feature foreign bands, such as _Ergo Proxy_ (Radiohead), _Gunslinger Girl_ (The Delgados) and _Higashi no Eden_ (Oasis).

@thankfulmachine As Douglas Adams put it: “Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”

Dear @freemo, meet my friend @Computer:

@camelliakyoto Did they close Kiyomizu-dera for you? I was there in 2019 and it wasn't nearly as empty. Much the opposite, actually.

Would people from fedi be down to play on an F-Zero 99 lobby? Maybe there's enough players here to actually fill a decent chunk of it?

@eSheep I'd be down on the weekends, even though I have never, ever played multiplayer games (or F-Zero 99 in particular).

@sullybiker I'm in a similar situation, so I can relate. Even when you don't get the short end of the stick, it's still tiresome. I had to get the whole month as vacation last December for the same reason (i.e., I had so many appointments that it sort of made sense to skip work altogether instead of mixing things up).

Still, I'm very lucky with how everything's being turning out.

My company has just announced that there will be a round of layoffs soon. They just laid off a bunch of C-levels. They're giving us the opportunity to "opt in" to "workforce reduction" with a promise of three months severance.

It's been pretty tumultuous here, lately, to be honest, and I'm considering it.

But, I've got a wife and four kids to take care of, and I've never willingly left a job when I didn't have another one already lined up. And we've got good benefits (healthcare and dental) right now, so I really don't want to give that up.

Maybe if I had something lined up with similar pay and benefits, I could do it.

So, I'm looking for any recommendations. I'm a #PHP developer (of roughly twenty years), who has been doing a lot of #golang for the past year, and I've gotten very proficient at that as well.

I'm looking for a US-based company, and a Principal/Staff/Senior Developer role.

Anybody have any good leads? My website is at https://danielrayjones.com, and I can be emailed at dan@danielrayjones.com.

👣THE PHILOSOPHER'S BLOSSOMS🌸

The Path of Philosophy runs between Nanzen-ji and Ginkaku-ji.
It came to prominence after the philosophers and Kyōto University professors Nishida Kitarō (西田幾多郎 1870-1945) and Tanabe Hajime (田辺元 1885-1962) used the trail as an exercise route.

@emenavarro Muchas gracias por recordarme esta canción, Eme. Hacía años que no la escuchaba.

@LibrosdeBabel
> Si las artes performativas como el teatro o la canción pueden considerarse literatura, ¿dónde se encuentra el límite?

La premisa es incorrecta, en mi opinión. No se le da un premio Nobel a un cantante o a un actor, sino al dramaturgo o al autor de las letras, que se pueden publicar en un libro de calidad equivalente a una novela o a una antología poética.

Dicho lo cual, un autor de videojuegos podría ganar el Premio Nobel también... siempre y cuando escribiera ficción interactiva.

@Miaourt Let me get this straight: Redis was relicensed from BSD (i.e., controlled opposition) to SSPL, whch seems to be even more consumer-friendly and pro-worker than AGPL, and people were upset about it?

So, what is the problem with Redis now anyway? I didn't really follow the news about it.

I can't seem to follow (or even find) accounts on shitposter.world, so, if we were mutuals while you were on SPC, please follow me and I'll follow back if I'm able.

Sorry and thanks.

@sullybiker Yeah, mine too. And you're right: Thewlis has never been better.

@sullybiker The movie's great too, even though I find it pretty cruel (like most in his filmography).

@jeremy_pm Unrelated to your post, but I'm curious: Are you or your parents fans of _The Three Investigators_ novels?

So, openssh backdoor through a path applied by some to make it work with systemd, which is vulnerable because of a compromise of the LZMA / xz code.

Quick test on a #Slackware 15 machine:

$ xz --version
xz (XZ Utils) 5.2.5
liblzma 5.2.5

$ sudo /usr/bin/ldd /usr/sbin/sshd | grep -ic lzma
0

And of course no systemd to be found.

I am having a bit of fun trying to (ahem) 'improve' the test script posted on some mailing lists, but I think Slackware is not vulnerable.
