Fuck this "you're on the wrong side of history" bullshit. How about "you're on the wrong side of now, mother fucker"?

Or how we used to say in the good ol' days, "you ain't right".

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you. It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

I've spent not-insignificant amount of time at protests in the US, looking for signs of IMSI catchers and never found anything, so when I saw this, my ears perked up:

Exclusive: Evidence of cell phone surveillance detected at anti-ICE protest

Mobile network anomalies consistent with cell phone surveillance were detected at a July 4 protest at an ICE field office in Washington state.

Litigious Company Demands Removal Of A Tweet Linking To An Article About How Litigious They Are

“Noem didn’t authorize FEMA’s deployment of Urban Search and Rescue teams until Monday, more than 72 hours after the flooding began, multiple sources told CNN.”

The conclusion has to be that ICE Barbie left people to die.

FEMA’s response to Texas flood slowed by Noem’s cost controls

As monstrous floodwaters surged across central Texas late last week, officials at the Federal Emergency Management Agency leapt into action, preparing to deploy critical search and rescue teams and life-saving resources, like they have in countless past disasters.

As a kid that grew up on a farm this needs to be said louder. AG labor not only takes real skills and knowledge but also a dedication to work long hours when the weather is right for planting/harvesting and the endurance to do it. It also can be a job with zero days off. Ask the average dairy farmer what the weekend or a vacation is and they'll look at you cross-eyed.

If we want a 100% US AG Workforce than let's create a path to citizenship for the people that want to do the work. The immigrant harvesting the fields or working a meat packing plant is not a threat to our nation but not having them is.

And while we're at it let's break up the big AG monopolies so that small family farms and small AG businesses can compete.

A 5-month-old puppy saved 67 people from a devastating landslide in India. This is Rocky. In the early hours of June 30th, he was sleeping on the ground floor of his home in Siyathi village as torrential rains poured down outside. Rocky woke up, began barking, and got the attention of his human, Lalit Kumar. “I was woken by my dog’s strange barking, as if he was trying to warn me. When I reached him, I saw a huge crack in the wall and water pouring in,” Kumar said. Thanks to Rocky’s early warning, Kumar was able to wake up the others in the village, encouraging 22 families to evacuate to safety. Soon after, nearly a dozen houses were flattened as a landslide struck the village. Rocky has only been with Kumar for three months, but he’s already an extremely valued member of his community, having helped save the lives of all of his neighbors. 15/10

FreeBSD 15 recently gained a nice feature called "exterr”, which allows syscalls to return an error message string in addition to an errno value.

that's nice for lots of things, but particularly for things like if_bridge that have a lot of error cases that return EINVAL and it's not really clear what's going on.

old behaviour:

# ifconfig bridge1 untagged epair2a 20
ifconfig: BRDGSIFPVID 20: Invalid argument

new behaviour:

# ifconfig bridge1 untagged epair2a 20
ifconfig: BRDGSIFPVID 20: Invalid argument (extended error VLAN filtering not enabled)

this only works for syscalls which have specifically added support for it, so it'll take a while for everything to get the new errors.
