Volcano wakes up after 700,000 years, is now considered 'stirring' - The TTRPG network
>A volcano in southeastern Iran has nudged upward by about 3.5 inches (9 centimeters) in 10 months. This might sound like a small rise but it has big significance. > >A new study used satellite data to spot the change and argues that pressure is building near the summit.

Building A Steam Loco These Days Is Nothing But Hacks - The TTRPG network
>The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR)’s T1 class is famous for many reasons: being enormous, being a duplex, possibly having beaten Mallard’s speed record while no one was looking… and being in production in the 21st century. That last fact is down to the redoubtable work by the PRR T1 Steam Locomotive Trust, who continued their efforts to reproduce an example of these remarkable and lamentably unpreserved locomotives in the year 2025. > >They say that 2025 was “the year of the frame” because the frame was finally put together. We might say that for the PRR Trust, this was the year of welding. Back when the Baldwin and Altoona works were turning out the originals, the frames for steam locomotives were cast, not welded. There might not be anywhere on Earth to get a 64′ long (19.5 m), 71,000 lbs steel casting made these days. Building it up with welded steel might not be perfectly accurate, but it’s the sort of hack that’s needed to keep the project moving.

Improving the Flatpak Graphics Drivers Situation
Improving the Flatpak Graphics Drivers Situation - The TTRPG network
>Graphics drivers in Flatpak have been a bit of a pain point. The drivers have to be built against the runtime to work in the runtime. This usually isn’t much of an issue but it breaks down in two cases: > >1. If the driver depends on a specific kernel version >2. If the runtime is end-of-life (EOL) > >The first issue is what the proprietary Nvidia drivers exhibit. A specific user space driver requires a specific kernel driver. For drivers in Mesa, this isn’t an issue. In the medium term, we might get lucky here and the Mesa-provided Nova driver might become competitive with the proprietary driver. Not all hardware will be supported though, and some people might need CUDA or other proprietary features, so this problem likely won’t go away completely.
