Salt Lake City, Utah
A little break from the high temperatures this morning. I've opened all the windows to let in some cool air. I'm not sure how fresh it is, but the sky is a pale blue, rather than a solid 'Wildfire Fire Smoke White'. The heatwave will hit close to 100Β°F today. I plan to get out and enjoy the coolness while I can.

This is the photography work of Tina Modotti. Italian. 1896-1942. She was both a model and photographer.

Judge Who Threatened to Shoot 4 Black Teens in Police Bodycam Rant Faces Possible Removal


In the footage captured by the bodycam, the teens are looking for lost car keys, while Gall can be heard yelling for them to leave and to take an Uber home.

"That’s how I roll. That’s how Mrs. G rolls. That’s how Judge Gall rolls. We’re clearing this place out," she says.

Gall called upon the responding officers to arrest the four teens, and mentioned more than once that she is a judge.

Referring to the Black teens, Gall said that they didn’t β€œlook like they're that smart. They're not going to business school, that's for sure.”

She also threatened to shoot the teenagers, who were still trying to find their lost car keys.

β€œIf they come back looking for it, I’ll call you while they’re on the property,” Gall said. β€œIf they did, they’ll be arrested, or they’ll be shot on the property. Because when they trespass, you can shoot them on the property. I’ll shoot them on the property.”

When an officer responded to requests to arrest the teens by saying he could face a civil rights lawsuit if he arrested the teens without a good reason, Gall assured them they had her support, according to the statement of facts.

β€œListen, but guess what, the good part is - the good part is I'm always on your side,” Gall said. β€œYou know I'd take anyone down for you guys. You know that. You know that. You know I am on your side.”

β€œBeim Transfer in die Gesellschaft werden β€žsoziale Innovationenβ€œ unterstΓΌtzt, etwa die gesellschaftliche Selbstorganisation im Bereich der Energiewende.”

Anhaltspunkte ΓΌber den β€œTransfer in die Gesellschaft” und die dahinter stehende Haltung des akademischen Wissenschaftsbereichs liefert ein Blick auf die CitizienScience-Bewegung. Deutlich wird, daß vom Wissenschaftsbreich β€œGesellschaft” nicht anders gedacht wird als Zulieferbetrieb fΓΌr die eigenen Vorhaben. Die BΓΌrger sind anscheinend zufrieden damit.

Und auffallend ist auch, daß die wirklich innovativen Bereiche von CitizienScience im erweiterten Sinne - OpenSorftware und maker - von den β€œErfolgsgeschichten” aus dem CitizienScience-Bereich nicht berΓΌhrt werden.

Um nicht mißverstanden zu werden: Mit dem Hinweis auf CitizienScience soll von meiner Seite nicht die fachliche Seite auf Projektebene angesprochen werden; sondern vielmehr strukturelle Charakteristiken in der Beziehung Wissenschaft - β€œGesellschaft”.

Right, FINALLY doing the SSD upgrade in this old laptop with the Extremely Cursed SATAExpress SSD. I bought a 2242 size NVMe drive to stick in the (unused) WWAN slot
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
The Old Laptop is going to be my new daily driver. I’ve been using it exclusively for a few weeks now, but I know the 256GB SSD is going to be the choke-point very soon.

Still, a decent upgrade. Old main rig is a i7-2600K with 32GB RAM, 512GB SATA SSD, and 8GB Radeon R9 290X, still VERY usable for a 10-year-old rig. Old (new) laptop is a ThinkPad T460p - i7-6820HQ, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD, and … uh … a 2GB GeForce 940MX. Yeah, the GPU sucks (and sucks much less than the built-in HD530), but I rarely play 3D games now so it’s not a great loss, and I gain portability which I didn’t have before.

I’ve even got the matching NOT-USB dock!
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
First things first, make a safe image of the existing SSD.

Next, figure out how the fuck to open an encrypted disk. Then use BTRFS to save the subvols.

Then, because I don’t trust either of those two methods to restore properly, mount the BTRFS filesystems and copy the contents out too.

Then I can safely* discard the utterly cursed SATAExpress SSD. Probably. Maybe I’ll swap a SATA SSD in instead, for even more storage space.
sortius mastodon (AP)
that's a lot of effort where you could just nuke it from orbit and start from scratch
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
@sortius I’ve got enough customization on the existing disk that I CBF repeating
sortius mastodon (AP)
aah, that sucks. I know what you mean if it's all weird shit for development, especially buggy stuff that requires installs in correct order, and odd steps between install/configs
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)

Oh wait, fuck, this is Linux NFSv4 talking to a Solaris NFS server. Of course the ownership and permissions are completely hosed.

Oh well, tar it is then
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
Speaking of Linux NFSv4, I wonder if that 100% repeatable kernel panic bug we found almost 20 years ago ever got fixed? Was reported to RedHat, but I left the org before the ticket was closed.
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
I don’t remember the exact details, but somehow it involved an absolute symlink hosted in the NFS server pointing to /dev/stdin

Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
Anyway, turns out this restore will probably be easier than I thought - the new SSD doesn’t support 4K block sizes, so I can just blat the raw image from the old SSD on, adjust the partition table, then resize.

First, verify the new SSD can actually store as many bits of data as it claims.
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
This is your regular reminder that `openssl aes-128-cbc -in /dev/zero -out /path/to/dev` is faster than `dd if=/dev/urandom of=/path/to/dev` if you want lots of random-looking incompressible data
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
Well it ate all the data it claimed it could. Slowed down a fair bit towards the end though, think the flash controller was struggling a bit and β€œonly” writing random 1MB blocks at 180MB/sec
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
… you’re fucking shitting me. After all that, the NVMe SSD is preventing power-on when it’s installed?!
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
@georgeharito the SSD was tested in another machine
I knew my meme-creating skills would fall flat
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
Well, that was an entire fucking day wasted
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
So, at this point I have 3 options:

1. Keep the cursed 256GB SATAExpress drive (or find a bigger one for approximately $0)

2. Swap with a 1TB SATA SSD (for approximately $0)

3. Make my own M.2 NVMe to SATAExpress adapter board

I think we all know where this is going…

*waves at "nuke it from orbit" sign*

The major problem with option 3 is finding the connector. Your challenge, #electronics Fedi hivemind, is to find me a SATAExpress drive-end connector I can buy
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
Ohhhhhhhh fuck, I just realised I could possibly, maybe, make it a PCIe 3.0 x1 instead of x2 just by using a β€œnormal” drive connector
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
… wait a fucken minute! Is that just a standard dual-port SAS connector?!
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
It is not: there is a slot in the key, which mates to a counter-key on the host side. I could cut that slot out of a standard SAS connector myself I guess?
sortius mastodon (AP)
I always get scared when hardware engineers start tinkering with actual computer hardware 😝
Joel Michael mastodon (AP)
Also, the REFCLK pins aren’t on a SAS connector (E1 to E3). Technically they aren’t required…
