Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg said his decision to reduce his team’s weekly hours working on WordPress by 99% , from 4,000 hours to 45 hours, was designed to pressure WP Engine to drop its lawsuit against Mullenweg and Automattic

“They don’t actually make WordPress. They just resell it,” Mullenweg told Computerworld Friday evening. “If what they are reselling is no longer getting all of the free updates, they have less stuff to sell.”

“It doesn’t make sense for Automattic to pay people to work on all of these things,” he said. “We are under attack and we are circling the wagons. Our number one goal is for WP Engine to drop their expensive lawsuits against me and Automattic.”

I read this story and thought it was interesting. Essentially it's saying that Zuck's recent changes to Meta moderation are almost certainly a response to Republican pressure, despite what Zuck claims.

I noticed that they disabled the comments on this story, while most stories have comments enabled. I guess they don't want a lot of angry comments from Trump supporters.

you mirin my phisique bro?

I'm dealing with dry air, and the humidifiers I had bought before got the tiniest grits of dust or something in them and leaked their whole tank of water. Turns out they needed purified water or distilled water to function long term.

I just want to put tap water into a thing and get humidity into the air. Any suggestions?

Edit, they were indeed ultrasonic humidifiers.

For Viktor Orbán, the basis for granting asylum to fugitive Polish politician Marcin Romanowski was a mere four-page pamphlet. We have found this document: it has no author but heavily cites a platform run by the Polish ultra-conservative Ordo Iuris Institute.

Hi,

I've recompiled my kernel[^moreinfo] of my raspberry pi 4 that run under Devuan rpi

apt install build-essential libncurses-dev bison flex libssl-dev libelf-dev
mkdir /RaspKernel_6_1_y && cd /RaspKernel_6_1_y
git clone --depth=1 --branch rpi-6.1.y https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux
cd linux
cp /boot/config-6.1.93 /RaspKernel_6_1_y/linux/.config
KERNEL=kernel8
make menuconfig
time make -j$((`nproc` - 2)) Image.gz modules dtbs
make -j$((`nproc` - 2)) modules_install
cp arch/arm64/boot/Image.gz /boot/broadcom/$KERNEL.img
cp arch/arm64/boot/dts/broadcom/*.dtb /boot/broadcom/
cp arch/arm64/boot/dts/overlays/*.dtb* /boot/firmware/overlays/
cp arch/arm64/boot/dts/overlays/README /boot/firmware/overlays/
reboot
apt install cryptsetup

I'm currently following this guide LUKS on Raspberry Pi ( for context my related lemmy post )

So now that the kernel has been updated, the cryptsetup benchmark -c xchacha20,aes-adiantum-plain64 command is successful

So in order to enable luks in initramfs I'm following the preparing-linux section of this guide.

we can read:

initramfs has to be recreated

I followed the guidance and edited the initramfs-rebuild file to match my setup

#!/bin/sh -e

# Rebuild initrd.gz after kernel upgrade to include new kernel's modules.
# https://github.com/Robpol86/robpol86.com/blob/master/docs/_static/initramfs-rebuild.sh
# Save as (chmod +x): /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-rebuild

# Remove splash from cmdline.
if grep -q '\bsplash\b' /boot/cmdline.txt; then
  sed -i 's/ \?splash \?/ /' /boot/cmdline.txt
fi

# Exit if not building kernel for this Raspberry Pi's hardware version.
version="$1"
current_version="$(uname -r)"
case "${current_version}" in
  *-v7+)
    case "${version}" in
      *-v7+) ;;
      *) exit 0
    esac
  ;;
  *+)
    case "${version}" in
      *-v7+) exit 0 ;;
    esac
  ;;
esac

# Exit if rebuild cannot be performed or not needed.
[ -x /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs ] || exit 0
[ -f /boot/broadcom/initrd.gz ] || exit 0
lsinitramfs /boot/broadcom/initrd.gz |grep -q "/$version$" && exit 0  # Already in initramfs.

# Rebuild.
mkinitramfs -o /boot/broadcom/initrd.gz "$version"

grep: /boot/config-6.1.93TEST+: No such file or directory

I've did

cp /RaspKernel_6_1_y/linux/.config /boot/config-6.1.93TEST+
mkinitramfs -o /boot/broadcom/initrd.gz

and it seemed worked. I've edit the remaining files

• /boot/broadcom/cmdline.txt
• /etc/fstab
• /etc/crypttab

rebooted. Landed in the initramfs shell as expected

but benchmark -c xchacha20,aes-adiantum-plain64 is no longer successful :'(

Cipher xchacha20,aes-adiantum-plain64 (with 256 bit key) is not available

Any ideas where might lay the problem ?

Thanks.

My Wi-Fi was out today, so that knocked all multiplayer things out and for whatever reason Sackboy wouldn't load with the Wi-Fi out. So instead i booted up Breath of The Wild on Cemu and played that. After i got the Camera upgrade i went crazy taking photos of everything i could (instead of, yknow, stopping the giant evil presence that wanted to destroy the world). I didn't realize how badly the System compressed the images though so a lot of these came out crunchy.

I got the photo of the dog right outside of Dueling Peaks Stables. I had a different one saved of a dog rolling on it's back but this one turned out far better than that one because it was too dark.

I've been trying to walk everywhere to familiarize myself with the world (i also turned on the Pro Hud to help encourage me to navigate by sight too). While on my way to the Stables i blew up some fish and got a photo of them right before grabbing them to cook:

I also got this photo of beetle looking concerned. Probably because i was all up in his face and he kept turning to look away from me. I ended up selling some Gems to him afterwards to afford my horse i named Darren.

This was one of the first photos i took by myself. I went out back and this lizard was posing majestically, so i grabbed a photo of that too for the compendium.

When people say there's been an "𝑥 fold increase in such and such." They mean such and such is 𝑥 times as big.

If you get something that actually folds like a sheet of paper, the amount of layers doubles each time. One fold = twice as many layers. Two folds = four times as many layers...
