A reminder to not buy any .io domains as the ccTLD will sunset in probably the next two years 😊(big L for itch[dot]io) as the UK hands over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, the British Indian Ocean Territory (IO) will cease to exist.

UK hands sovereignty of Chagos Islands to Mauritius

In a historic move, the UK gives up sovereignty of a strategic group of islands in the Indian Ocean.

Does the C∅C∅ Java reference library even exist? It’s supposedly open source. Was it removed from existence? https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/1093.pdf

An estimated two thirds (although probably more) of humanity have HSV-1 and most don’t even know it as it remains a latent infection in neural ganglia. Good for them. Every time my immune system gets hit from stress or travelling, they wake up and go all lytic infection on me. Cold sores are so uncomfortable I always end up researching why the hell we don’t have an actual cure for a virus over 100 million years old. It’s that damn pesky latent phase. We have to draw all of them out and kill them all. I don’t think there’s enough L-Lysine to do that…

ISP, if let me down one more time this week, I swear...

A different way to defraud: The lessons from the trial of Bitcoin's origins

Going through tax and expenses I realise I need to do a subscription audit 😟. So many little things I've just forgotten about add up! Also, I'd feel better if Wikimedia accepted lightning for donations. Would be great when bolt12 offers get upgraded with pulls too!

How does one over 1.86 m even sleep in economy? It’s just eluded me forever.

does someone know of a notifier for different channels/branches a nixpkgs PR lands in. I found a telegram bot but it is not working and seems unresponsive. basically let's you subscribe to the status of a PR for a certain channel like here: https://nixpk.gs/pr-tracker.html?pr=338621 and then sends you a notification (maybe a nostr dm) with some service, even ntfy.sh i'm sure it would be easy to build but i don't have much time for that for the next few weeks so hoping to nerd snipe / find something that already exists lol.

My root drive is full and just causing me so much trouble this morning. So much for nix-collect-garbage to do… Already had optimize automatically enabled, but forgot to automate gc and now paying the price lol
