Top Story

I have a local lawyer in the town I'm looking to move to checking on some things for me, and one of the things she was checking was whether there might be any council restrictions on any of the properties and yep, the house built in 1877 which is probably my preferred choice is heritage listed. So any renovations or improvements would not only have to pass by the town council but also the heritage council. Two sets of hoops and one of them on fire.

Which helps explain why such a great property has been sitting on the market for so long. For my needs it's laid out pretty well (except for the original corner fireplaces which take up a ton of space and don't even work though there is a newer combustion stove in the living room) and it has been renovated fairly recently so there's not a lot of work that needs doing. The one thing that could do with an upgrade is the bathroom and that I could probably manage.
Meanwhile far away from sensible bricks and mortar Solana-based stablecoin Cashio had a minor bug and lost 99.995% of its value overnight. (Decrupt)

Oops.

tl;dr because Cashio didn't establish a root of trust for all of the accounts it used, an attacker was able to steal approximately $50M by forging a chain of fake accounts

Tech News

Apple's brand new M1 Ultra processor has shown up in the PassMark benchmark list. (Tom's Hardware)

The top-of-the-line 20-core CPU is listed just behind - oh, that's gotta hurt - just behind AMD's new 12-core Threadripper Pro 5945WX.

Most powerful CPU ever, except for all the others.
TSMC is expanding the expansion of its 5nm and 4nm (really, they're the same thing) production lines to meet highly demanding demand. (Tom's Hardware)

Nvidia's new enterprise (Hopper) and consumer (Lovelace) graphics cards, and AMD's Zen 4 CPUs and RDNA 3 GPUs will all be heading to TSMC's 5nm and 4nm production lines this year, joining Apple and Qualcomm who have been producing mobile chips on the new nodes for some time.
Why exactly would you buy an IronWolf Pro? (Tom's Hardware)

Comparing two models of Seagate 20TB drives, the IronWolf NAS model is 20% more expensive than the Exos enterprise model, but has half the lifetime and workload ratings, with all other specs being the same. Okay, in sequential reads the IronWolf averaged 6% faster but even four of these in RAID can flood 10Gb Ethernet, so that's not likely to be an issue.
This person doesn't know what they're doing. (Spaced Out and Smiling)
Given i develop on a ARM Mac, i'd like to deploy to an ARM server.
You program in Node.js. Node.js itself is a crime against humanity, but that's not your fault. But unless you are doing something spectacularly horrible, there is no technical reason to deploy to an Arm-based server.
Russia has banned Google News for "unreliable information". (Bleeping Computer)

Sure. Okay.
Australia's NBN is opening upgrade orders for FttC customers. (ZDNet)

Starting at the end of May, by which time I will be in a new house with FttP (one way or another).
Old and busted: Don't be evil.

New hotness: Adding legal. (Ars Technica)

Like your annoying 12-year-old cousin who figured out that broken goblin berserker character build in 3.5e and is now ruining your campaign some bright spark at Google decided that if you copy one of the corporate lawyers on your internal communications everything is protected by attorney-client privilege and can't be examined by antitrust regulators which is brilliant except for the two key points that first it doesn't work that way and second that sort of bullshit is exactly what antitrust regulators are looking for.

Good work, genius. Rocks fall, everyone gets broken up.
Instagram now lets you see the posts of people you follow in the order they were posted. (Bloomberg)

A remarkable innovation.
GitHub no longer does. (The Register)

Microsoft, you idiots.
Lapsus$ might have accessed user data in their Okta hack. (The Register)

Okta, uh, handles logins for other customers. Mostly small customers. Like Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.

This could be nothing or it could be the biggest hack in recent history. We're not sure yet.
Lapsus$ might be led by some sixteen-year-old kid. (Bloomberg)

This would explain a lot. Their work so far has been technically proficient but basically pointless, and they don't really cover their tracks.

Not At All Tech News

Reuben Hick said yesterday:
I'm fascinated by the four considerations:
* Internet speed
* House Size
* Price /m²
* transportation

Nothing about aesthetics, floorplan, neighborhood, structure condition, crime rate... all of the stuff normal people consider.
Guilty as charged.

I'm moving to a mid-sized country town (about 25,000 people) so there's not that much variation in neighbourhoods and crime rates. There's basically the parts with wide streets and lots of trees, and the parts with really wide streets and really lots of trees.

Internet speed (and stability) is a key concern because I live online, and I chose this town because apart from being pretty nice - I've visited a few times and stayed overnight at least twice - the whole place has fiber internet.

As for house size, also yes. I work from home, and my job requires multiple computers, so I need a big office on top of the usual space. And all my accumulated technical junk also takes up a lot of room, so I either have to throw it out or find a place with plenty of storage.

The one with a garage the size of a small house and a house the size of two and a half small houses is probably overkill but is priced right in the middle of other places half the size. I can just tell the movers to shove everything into the truck at one end, and shove everything into the garage at the other end except for the dining table, fridge, and washing machine, which I would not want to drag up the stairs myself. And the rest I can unpack whenever.
Benzalkonium chloride kills cockroaches. Its the stuff you find in most household cleaning sprays; it's basically harmless to humans but effective on bacteria. (Not that I'd advise you to drink it.) But for some reason it is lethal to cockroaches. Spritz them with household cleaning spray instead of bug spray and they drop dead on the spot.

Party Like It's Hololive Video of the Day

I'm running low on 1982 and 1983 was a terrible year for pop culture. So I'm heading off thataway for a bit.

Now that my internet is working I'm back to watching vtubers while I work. Ah. That's better.

8 Oh, well, I tried. Good evening, Pixy. Yeah, there is always some damn catch in buying a house, it seems.

Update on Chekov the Ailing Codger Cat, for those interested: The damn cat rallied a bit last night! After his prednisolone, he actually worked his way out to the living room and lay on the floor for petting, not once but twice. He ate at least half of what I left for him last night, too. This morning he seems torpid and withdrawn again, so it was temporary. I know this can't last. But letting him go when he does something like this is the hardest decision I've had to make about a furry friend.

The vet is supposed to come tonight, but Linda will spend a good part of the day with him.

17 Good morning. Went to bed early, actually got a pretty solid nights sleep after a couple bad ones (joint pain, weather related). Turned on the tube to see live coverage of Retardo arriving at NATO HQ. He was walking past a line of flags representing member nations, and one could almost hear him saying "Look, man, this is no joke, OK. You need one of those flags for the homos. Gotta have it. It's law, for real man."

24 NATO, NPR:

"Seeing Western leaders standing side-by-side in Brussels will send a powerful message. . . . 'That family photo is going to show everyone that these guys are unified,' said Townsend, now at the Center for a New American Security think-tank. 'That family photo is one of the most important deliverables coming out of the meeting at NATO.'

We have a 7-12 school. The vapers are likely to get caught in the h.s. bathrooms, so they go to the other. Where they proceed to intimidate the younger kids if they think of tattling and even cajole them into vaping so the kids are "guilty", too.

It's a cynical ploy on my part. Most of them are low-grades/high-absenteeism teens with a lot of problems at home. Most of us don't want to kick out the kids being raised by wolves, but we teachers don't want the administrators to have a keep-'em-in-class policy because the kids figure out fast they can do anything they want.

115 Mornin' again, all,

I've arrived at work and am sitting with the under-desk heater on, despite it being only 57 F. outside. It's a damp cold. Besides, when you sit for long periods, you tend to feel the chill a bit more.

As I mentioned before, the vet is coming tonight to speed Chekov off to the Rainbow Bridge. He rallied a tiny bit last night, but this morning he was torpid and withdrawn. He ate a little and was glad to be petted -- but that has not changed in some weeks. He'll never be any better and probably will get worse. I guess this is the right thing to do.

Dammit.

If nothing else, it seems to me these doctors are opening themselves to huge medical malpractice lawsuits. Even if they have their victims sign all sorts agreements I have to believe years later there are going to be a lot of angry people not happy about their youthful decisions and looking for revenge. And there will be plenty of lawyers eager to help.

137 I went to a Taiwan Day celebration on campus as a youth. Besides the great food, they played a movie of a rural Chinese lass herding the family ducks. She did not follow her Dads advice, but the climax of the movie was her realizing her Dad was right. Lots and lots of duck extras in that movie.

140 71 Vapers are bad?
Posted by: m at March 24, 2022 06:22 AM

We have a 7-12 school. The vapers are likely to get caught in the h.s. bathrooms, so they go to the other. Where they proceed to intimidate the younger kids if they think of tattling and even cajole them into vaping so the kids are "guilty", too.

It's a cynical ploy on my part. Most of them are low-grades/high-absenteeism teens with a lot of problems at home. Most of us don't want to kick out the kids being raised by wolves, but we teachers don't want the administrators to have a keep-'em-in-class policy because the kids figure out fast they can do anything they want.

Yes, he has been tough. I've got to admire him. Well, I've admired all my cats for *something,* either brains or stubbornness or elegant looks or steady quiet friendship with me. With Chekov, I guess, it's tenacity as well as his good looks and his liking for human company.

I plan to tell my boss I'm feeling ill and leave about 2:30. The vet is to come over at 4:30. If I have the energy I'll update you this evening or tomorrow morning.

Oh, but there is. Much like Ruby before it, some Node modules contain C code to build things in machine-native binaries for performance. If your SDLC involves restoring and testing your code on a build server and then zipping up node_modules for deployment (or if you're using yarn2) then your build server arch damn well better match your deploy server arch.
