It's not for fun, or any sense of community.
It's just trying to dull the pain.

I have friends everywhere.

FYI, more pictures of the naughty monkey boy.

1. Mojo Jojo being actively tiny and sleepy
2. Breaking out of his Monster case
3. Breaking out of his water case (much healthier for cats)

I'm weeks late to this, but better late than never I guess.

Please pour one out for my cat, Mojo Jojo. Sixteen years old, he was a grumpy, lovable old man who spent his days howling, demanding treats, and eating Churu directly from the tube.

After a few weeks of increasing snot and decreasing weight he started to have serious breathing problems today. We took him to the emergency vet, and he had a lung tumor nearly the size of his heart. Unfortunately at sixteen that's not a survivable surgery, and we didn't want him to continue suffering on pallative care.

So please join me in celebrating the life of a cat with a giant personality. The naughty monkey, Mojo Jojo.

Jonathan Gray (jsg@) just committed to #OpenBSD -current a mitigation for the FP-DSS (Floating Point Divider State Sampling) vulnerability affecting first generation AMD "Zen" CPUs.

jsg@ modified src/sys/arch/{amd64,i386}/**: floating point state leakage can be observed on AMD Zen/Zen+ (Zen 1)

This was discovered by the Rootsec research group at the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security. Rootsec named the problem Floating Point Divider State Sampling (FP-DSS).

Do AMD's suggested mitigation, setting a chicken bit in an MSR.

District Court judge permanently enjoins the “Kennedy Declaration,” voiding the regime’s effort to heavily curtail gender-affirming care. As always nowadays, we can’t count on higher federal courts to uphold this judgment. But no matter what, we have another example of a trial court judge showing what it is to do justice in the face of fascism. 1/ https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ord.191371/gov.uscourts.ord.191371.93.0_1.pdf #LawFedi

On Friday candidate for Pennsylvania's 147th House district Margaret Burke received an endorsement from the Represent PA organization. Today she and a small group of volunteers knocked on 388 doors in Lower Salford Township to build energy for the primary election in May and efforts to turn Montgomery County's delegation fully blue and flip the state senate in 2026.

The system isn't working. It's time for a change.

Well, surfacing from another rathole, we research very early supermarket Point of Sale systems, in particular the ones from ESIS which were deployed initially in Jewel food stores in Chicago ca. 1971 just before UPC scanners came out in 1973. Finding a picture of one was really difficult, and the only one I found was from 1975 after Bunker-Ramo bought ESIS and had adopted UPC scanning. Each store required three ND-812 12 bit minicomputers to run the system.

and, like everything else, there is someone out there who collects old PoS registers.
