@frameworkcomputer We challenge AMD—and NVIDIA, Micron, Samsung, SK Hynix, and everyone else in this space—to not give up on socketed memory. The future should be upgradeable!
@sosh sounds like an excellent plan to me! :)
@klepsydra and I take it they were not attempting to establish the level of stupidity of the character ;)
@moon while it was cut very short for us, yeah, it was still good :)
@moon oh hey, that was our plate of tasty things! :D
@alissaazar the kids are, once again and still, alright

Today is the 8th anniversary of @Liberapay's launch. Coincidentally, I have an announcement to make.
I'm looking for someone to open a new chapter in the project's history by becoming its second maintainer. That doesn't mean it's a programming job, although help in that area is always welcome. You can find a bit more information in https://github.com/liberapay/salon/issues/661 and ask any questions you have there or in private.
Please boost 🙂

Dear People attending #FOSDEM
The maintainer of #XZ is still in need of true support after they were abused by someone who tried to viciously introduce a backdoor to potentially millions of servers and computers.
They opened a Liberapay account here: https://liberapay.com/Larhzu.
They only receive 5€ a week for now…
You know XZ is crucial for lots of critical systems. Please tip them generously.and boost this message!

Bookshop, the anti-amazon that gives $$ to local bookstores with every sale, now has ebooks. That’s a big deal: https://bookshop.org/info/ebooks
@tryst I... think that's who we've used for citizencon the last two years? They've been pretty decent, if it's them (booked through airbnb, though)

*KICKS DOOR DOWN*
Hey everyone! Hate AI web crawlers? Have some spare CPU cycles you want to use to punish them?
Meet Nepenthes!
https://zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes
This little guy runs nicely on low power hardware, and generates an infinite maze of what appear to be static files with no exit links. Web crawlers will merrily hop right in and just .... get stuck in there! Optional randomized delay to waste their time and conserve your CPU, optional markovbabble to poison large language models.
