Cory Doctorow’s prescient novella about health insurance and murder: ‘They’re going to be afraid’

The parallels between the science fiction writer’s five-year-old story and present-day events are startling

Good news for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere - starting tomorrow, the days will get longer :mastodance:

The winter solstice will occur on Saturday, December 21, 2024 at 09:21 UTC (4:21 a.m. EST).

"The term “solstice” comes from the Latin words sol (Sun) and sistere (to stand still) because, during the solstice, the angle between the Sun’s rays and the plane of the Earth’s equator (called declination) appears to stand still."

Happy Winter Solstice, which occurred at 09:21 UTC this morning.

Winter Solstice celebrations on this cloudy morning at Stonehenge.

A recent paper states that the unique stone lying flat at the center of the monument, dubbed the “altar stone” — originated in Scotland, 100s of km north.

Other stones are also known to have traveled far.

“The fact that all of its stones originated from distant regions ... suggests that the stone circle may have had a political as well as a religious purpose,” said lead author Prof Pearson.

¡Feliz solsticio de invierno!

Hoy el Sol Invicto empieza a levantarse de su letargo, o lo que es lo mismo, se queda con nosotros, en el hemisferio norte, un poquito más cada día. Aunque aún queden por delante los días más fríos, en unos dos meses empezarán a brotar las precoces flores de almendros, cerezos y ciruelos para anunciarnos la primavera.

Well, that didn't last long.

Evie had a 💡 moment.

If he goes in 'that door' when the visit is over, if I go camp-out at 'that door', then maybe he will come out 'that door'.

Result: Owner dragged up driveway.

A young black lab wearing a purple plaid dog coat, sitting on the ground staring directly up at me, woo-oo-ing quietly requesting (the first of) her treat(s).

Do you use the "Please Caption" bot to remind you to add image descriptions? Some updates about it:

1) It has just changed servers, its new account is:

➡️ @PleaseCaptionBot

If your follow hasn't transferred automatically, follow it at the new address.

2) There was a problem transferring the bot's follows list. Even if you're following it at the new address, you should unfollow it and re-follow it in order to trigger the bot's follow back. Follow backs are needed for reminders to work.

I can see the attraction of NixOS now that I've tried it. If you are running some Linux distribution on more than one machine, you have a list of things you want to do to get them just right after an OS install. I've had scripts for that, but NixOS just supports the idea directly. You just add your list to the config file and update.

It can go further and manage your home directory dot files and things like that. Currently I'm thinking that piece of the puzzle is small enough to just script.

Ariel 3 weeks ago • mastodon (AP)

it provides a unified language for configuration and many, many modules which make setting up services a snap. The isolation also means you can host loads on a single server without system dependency hell

John Socks 3 weeks ago • mastodon (AP)

@arichtman I'm chipping away at the language, but it's interesting to me how useful it is with just like eight lines changed to the default configuration.

For instance adding vim is much easier than uninstalling vim tiny and installing vim regular on any other Linux.
