that boxfish car looks good

best elixir and not expensive:

a moka pot + coffee & water+ heat

i know that some cultures used the same word for blue and green. They didn’t perceive 2 different colours but hues of, for example, glaz.

orange is linked to the fruit in many languages. that’s why i posted those 2 photographs together.

Orangutans too are orange and i’m sorry for writing this sentence :) At least they’re not striped.

The Wikipedia article where you appear to have gotten that image of a tiger from even describes them as such in the first paragraph.

you must have edited that page after i have read :)

same as zebras, which are black with white stripes

same here 🤷

look at just the burnt umber and papaya whip(?)

Funnily enough this is actually why tigers are orange.

tigers are orange?

fuck ICE, fuck tasers but then why did tasers become insufficient and they had to invent electroshock gloves?

fuck compliance too

I mean take a look at smartphones, it is what most “normal users” prefer using nowadays.

prefer? Do you know how difficult (or often impossible) it is to modify your phone’s OS?

That’s not a ‘preference’, that’s an imposition!

beep.

for my OS i want complete mutability. I’ve spent the last 2 days learning NixOS because it’s bringing something completely different to the table. It made me like Arch more :)
Most of the “fork of a fork of a fork” distributions of today will probably disappear in a couple of years. At least you’ll learn from this endeavour.

yes, he becomes mister bird when he is making music.

According to OpenAI, one of its GPT-5.6 Sol agents was being evaluated on a platform called ExploitGym, which benchmarks large language models by asking them to write proof-of-concept security exploits for known vulnerabilities. Normally, ExploitGym is designed to be a closed ecosystem for proof-of-concept testing only, and AI agents shouldn’t have access to the internet while being evaluated.

But this agent found a zero-day vulnerability in a package registry tool called Artifactory, then used it to gain access to the web. From there, the OpenAI agent gained access to Hugging Face’s company systems using publicly exposed credentials across four separate services. It went on to spend two days inside the company’s internal systems, managed to secure root access to several production servers, and even enrolled 181 attacker-controlled devices into Hugging Face’s corporate network.

Jellyfin stop working each time I close my screen.

screen of what? Laptop? Phone? Tablet?

it may just be a background permission problem

“Once installed” is operative here. Pegasus isnt a magic wand that you can swish to read all text messages on every phone. It needs to be deployed.

indeed, unless you’re a target for a state or a company that cares to spend money to spy on you, you don’t need to worry about pegasus

Aren’t decorative cabbages edible?

Whilst not a toxic vegetable in its natural state, an increase in intestinal gas can lead to the death of many small animals like rabbits due to gastrointestinal stasis.

You know sometimes that’s OK to do mate.

what is ok? thanking yourself or mistaking the button?

While the capabilities of Pegasus may vary over time due to software updates, Pegasus is generally capable of reading text messages, call snooping, collecting passwords, location tracking, accessing the target device’s microphone and camera, and harvesting information from apps.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(spyware)

Once installed, Pegasus has been reported to be able to run arbitrary code, extract contacts, call logs, messages, photos, web browsing history, settings, as well as gather information from apps including but not limited to communications apps iMessage, Gmail, Viber, Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Skype.

on a street like that, at that precise moment, who is “filming”?

are there multiple security cams for different angles and if so, why?

thought the same :)

hair needs some pompadour though
