simultaneously very glad I have a tape drive and also reminding myself that it the endless whirring is definitely going to invade my dreams.
anyway it works and it works well actually (including hardware encryption) so now to write an ethics proposal for the university about my data storage wheeee

the more I think about Pluribus the more I think it could have and should have been a single-season show.

Unclear if the politician here is lying, or simply west wing brained so they think our Supreme Court is the same as the American one? Because the UK government can, in fact, simply change the law on which a judgement rests. It absolutely can do that.
Angeliki Stogia (Labour). Angeliki broadly performed well, but she felt very hemmed in by her government's record. When questioned about trans rights, for instance, she stated that the Labour Party would always stand against transphobia and that they couldn't just change the supreme court decision

was expecting the hardware compression that LTO drives do to be kinda bullshit but it's actually decent. 700GB of SSD compressed down to about 500GB. not bad!

Doesn’t matter how many billions of theoretical student debt money we’ve got in a spreadsheet ratcheted up by interest. That money never existed. Forgiving that debt doesn’t actually cost us, and the loss of potential income assumes people could ever actually pay it back in a cost of living crisis.
Pippa Crerar, "Would you write off university fees?"
Zack Polanksi, "We need to look at abolishing tuition fees and bring back maintenance grants"
"We need a conversation about debt forgiveness"

At some point, the fact that *over* 1/3 of gaming workers were laid off last year, and the fact that over half a million tech workers have been laid off over the last 3 years, will have to be reckoned with as a society, instead of being swept under the rug anildash.com/2026/01/06/5...

I like an irreverent approach at times but there's a need to know where the line should be drawn.
Being allowed to bring a plush raccoon wearing safety goggles into a dry cask storage area is one thing.
Misusing radiation hazard symbols (especially those for potential orphan sources) is another.

Let’s actually nationalise the trains, not just nationalise who gets to paint the logos on the shady offshore Cayman Island owned trains. We already own all the tracks and set the timetables.
GBR is a good move*
Pay as you Go, new online retailer with no booking fees, etc.
* but no mention of what really matters: freeing ourselves from train landlords (ROSCOs) jacking our prices by 25%, or getting HS2 back on track so we can run meaningfully more trains across the exiting network.

Transport sec Heidi Alexander says under public ownership of rail in England, passengers will deal with one unified brand, simplified ticketing through a new GBR online retailer (no booking fees), expanded Pay-As-You-Go coverage, and stronger consumer protections via a new Passenger Watchdog

genuinely the thing I want to do as a career and was unquestionably good at was science communication for the civil nuclear industry. nothing else has lit a fire in me in anything close to the same way.
but *nobody* pays for it, even though it's an utterly critical function.
