@esoteric_programmer probably better for like 99% of cases though, good idea!
@esoteric_programmer Generally I try to use "real data" to avoid edge cases where the empty space is being compressed with "sparse files" (or whatever it was called)

My only solace in seeing the world ripped apart by greed is knowing that the profiteers will all die just like the everyone else. They're spending their life maxizing profit but it'll ultimately be for nothing as they're sitting at death's door.
Here's another #techromancy tip:
Create a 2GB "sacrificial" file for your volumes. When the disk fills up and your system locks up, kill it and run your cleanup scripts. It's helped me get out of a bind a few times now.
```bash
dd if=/dev/urandom of=sacrifice.txt bs=1M count=2048
```
```bash
rm sacrifice.txt
```

Android 從一開始就不是我們在初入 21 世紀時認知的那種 open source，不要再對這種巨頭有什麼奇怪的開放文化幻想了

My matrix server got full of crap but the admin panel only allows deleting 250 media entries at a time. Luckily I could look at the API calls the app was making in devtools as I manually performed a delete and now I have these 30k spam entries getting purged in a while loop 🥰
Reminds me of when I acidentally deleted my entire client's notion DB and made a script to restore everything one item at a time 💀

If enough people learn how to do something, it protects those that don't know how to, this is known as nerd immunity

New secret code: if you see someone irl you think might be on Mastodon, nonchalantly ask them if they know Nicole from Toronto.

Next.js dropped a CVSS 9.1 authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2025-29927) over the weekend. This flaw is trivially exploitable by sending the header `x-middleware-subrequest: true` and causes the request to skip all middleware processing, including any authentication steps.
Shodan reports over 300,000 services with the `X-Powered-By: Next.js` header alone.

No, covid did not teach me that online conferences are just not working. It taught me that 2/3rds of all conferences could be fully online (though one still needs to think about best structure for them and not just transplant them without any adaptation) - and the remaining third needs to focus even more on interaction (unconferences, small workshops, hackatons...) and not the usual talks.
I regret not bringing my computer on this trip cause this would be the perfect time for a dwarf fortress binge

Ok. #IT nerds of the fediverse. Let's do a thought experiment. It's Monday morning, the boss comes in. We need to move all out stuff off US clouds onto our own hardware. He's bought us a small data centre (or larger server room). It's empty, just a raised floor, a power panel on the wall, Aircon, and two MAN generators outside. He wants you to buy everything to make this facility work. The catch. It has to all come from European companies. Everything.
What do you buy from who?

@da_667 Are you playing xcom through steam? It may still work if you copy stuff over. Proton has been great in my experience. Also if you plan to do heavy gaming thd bazzite kernel might be useful on top of whatever else you choose. Optimized for it + steam.
