Zohran Mamdani hat gerade seine cost-cutting initiatives angekündigt. Wie:
- McKinsey rauswerfen
- IT-Services wieder in städtische Hand holen und Dienstleister rauswerfen
…

Also genau das Gegenteil von dem, was wir hier so machen.

„#Holzheizungen sind klimaneutral“.

Hach, dieses romantische Knistern im Kamin, schööööön. Ein tolles Motiv für Werbestrategen. Wer mit #Holz heizt, macht sich von einem #Brennstoff abhängig, der politisch als #klimafreundlich deklariert wurde. Darin stecken gleich zwei Probleme, doch es gibt noch mehr mit der #Holzverbrennung. Ein Blick auf den wachsenden Holztrend wirft viele Fragen auf.

I really can’t wait until gpu resetting on Linux will become a thing…

Many motherboards (especially reference boards from silicon vendors or laptops) allow you to enable/disable power to the slot by controlling the GPIO (SoC pincontrol).

You can spot this by looking for “rtd” in src/mainboard/* directory in coreboot tree, there are pins specified for PCIe power and reset.

Imagine being able to cut the power to something like a dedicated GPU in your system by setting PCIE_PWR pin low and decreasing your desktop power’s consumption by ~30W (or even ~80W if you happen to use first-generation Intel Arc GPU).

Then when you want to play a game, you would set the pin high, DRM would re-initialize the card, and you could either play as-is (displays connected to iGPU would cost you some performance due to DMA framebuffer copy) or press the button on (very inexpensive these days) DP/HDMI switch and play with full performance straight from dGPU.

Of course none of that would be required if board vendor would implement ASPM correctly, but vast majority of board vendors fuck up their power management/board designs, so that would be nice to have.

(One day I will go insane enough to design an open-source ATX board that would implement everything correctly and use STM32 as an Embedded Controller)

The Rust project puts out an article about how they're listening to their community https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/03/20/rust-challenges/

Except it turns out that article was drafted by an LLM https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1rz15t3/what_we_heard_about_rusts_challenges_and_how_we/obiwu24/

They claim nearly every line was rewritten by a human but I'm not sure how you could send a worse signal to your community about how much you aren't listening than having an LLM draft a post saying we're really listening, honest

Well, that's depressing. :(

#NoAI

Well, I have now been quoted calling SpaceX "fuckweasels" in a real publication by real journalists: https://au.pcmag.com/ai/116598/spacex-to-start-small-with-1-million-satellite-plan-pushes-back-on-critics

I guess I am proud of myself? (They are, indeed, fuckweasels, for their complete lack of care for the atmosphere that we all depend on, as well as not caring about Kessler Syndrome, or light pollution, or smashing people on the ground...)
