Grrrrr…eat, one of my Bessey spring clamps broke. Ripped the arm right in half. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just designed in Germany but actually made out of Chinesium. :-( I will attempt to glue it back together with two component adhesive tomorrow, but I don’t have high hopes.

Chances are the database bought wasn’t cheap at all and was aold by some scam company that probably ripped them from six figures or more for a database that’s full of rubbish. 🤣

RIP Android:

https://9to5google.com/2025/08/25/android-apps-developer-verification/

Since nobody is going to push back on this (I don’t even know if that would be possible), this is going to be a reality on every platform sooner or later.

I’d guess in 20, 30 years, there won’t be “PCs” anymore. No more home computing, no more “I just write my own software”. You won’t own devices anymore, it’ll all be rented and the landlord will tell you what you can do with it.

I hope that I’m wrong, but given where we are today, I don’t think that I will be.

Workers at top US consumer watchdog sound warning as Trump bids to gut agency
Michael Sainato,    -  The Guardian (U.K.)

_Stephan: The fascist Trumpian coup continues, and one of its main goals, to turn Americans into powerless peasants, escalates. One of its strategies, as this article in the British newspaper The Guardian describes, is that you and I will no longer have any place to turn if we are cheated or ripped off by a corporation.

Trump Just Ripped Up Federal Workers’ Union Contracts
Meagan Day,  Staff Writer  -  Reader Supported News | Jacobin

Stephan: Part of psychopath “monarch” Trump’s coup to dismantle democracy and a functioning government, is the elimination of any kind of collective action such as unions. This is the latest move to accomplish that goal.

‘Shameful’: Trump Quietly Rips Up Biden Memo Restricting Arms Sales Based on Human Rights
Julia Conley,  Staff Writer  -  Common Dreams

_Stephan: The scumminess of the Trump coup is like nothing that has ever happened in the United States since its founding. It’s not just the authoritarianism, it is the vulgarity of this nouveau riche bully and the nastiness of the people with whom he chooses to surround himself. In just over a month he h … ⌘ Read more

Editor’s Note
Stephan A Schwartz,  Editor  -  Schwartzreport

_Stephan: The coup continues. We are just 17 days into the destruction of our democracy, our economy, and poised to become involved in wars. And the effect of the coup is not just affecting Americans. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of women, children, and men in poor countries around the world have had their already meager lives ripped apart.. Tens of thousands of children in those countries are predicted to die as a result of this. Rather … ⌘ Read more

i recorded my first camcorder video!!!! it’s just me practicing guitar after sooo long of not playing it. my acoustic, to be specific (well, it’s an electric acoustic thing but i can play it without plugging it in lol, i do have a stratocaster though). it’s capped at ~30 minutes because i used one mini DVD for it and decided i wasn’t gonna use another one to extend the run time. so yeah. it was super fun! i hope i can share it soon, i’m ripping the disc with make MKV right now, then i’ll re-encode to a web friendly format, and upload to my site and hope that works well

Why Mass Deportations Would Cripple California’s Economy
Mark Kreidler,    -  The American Prospect

_Stephan: When you combine Trump’s tariffs and his deportation schemes, what you get is that you and I are, by Robert Reich’s estimate, going to face about $6,000 in additional annual expenses. It is going to particularly impact Trump working and middle-class voters in Red states. And that doesn’t even address the massive social disruption that will arise from ripping im … ⌘ Read more

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Thanks! I’ve almost come up with my own theme already 🤣 I actually don’t really want to use Hugo at all, I find it too complicated. But it is pretty popular so I thought maybe I’d rip-off a nice theme… Hmmm 🧐

In-reply-to » Hmm when I said "Wireguard is kind of cool" in this twt now I'm not so sure 😢 I can't get "stable tunnels" to freak'n stay up, survive reboots, survive random disconnections, etc. This is nuts 🤦‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net I find the L2 mode where you have one interface and multiple hosts to be tricky. Its best if you are trying to make a full mesh style. But then all hosts need to be able to see one another.

I have had more success using point-to-point connections where there are only two ends to each interface. It means you have a ton of interfaces and udp ports. but you can share the host IP across the interfaces. Add to that a simple router proto ala OSPF or RIP and you can navigate around not having a full meshnet.

I have dozens of localnet wireguard connections and many more connections to others that use bgp for route propagation.

I guess Google Hangouts is finally dead.

Why is Google such a mess at making messaging apps? This has more or less been a solved problem for decades. Google Talk worked well enough, and since it was based on XMPP and Jingle it was perfectly suited to become a large-scale text/voice/video messaging system. If they’d run with that they’d have been able to dominate that space, I think. Instead, they’ve created and shitcanned half a dozen messaging apps and platforms, flailing around copying someone else’s app (now they’re trying to copy Slack I guess).
