Ok, returning to the slow-burn project of finishing an important (to me) Drupal 7 to 10 upgrade. Drupal, you don't make it easy, although, I'm increasingly convinced that it's possible. I just have tighten up my feedback loop (i.e. I have to relearn all the stuff I've forgotten since the last time I looked at this a few months ago)...

"“This is the largest data breach & the largest #IT #security breach in our country’s #history—at least that’s publicly known”...

nobody yet knows which info #DOGE has access to, or what it plans to do with it...

“I don’t think the public quite understands the level of danger.”"

Some folks have asked if I've left. Short answer is no, still here and consider this my primary social media spot. Longer answer is I'm attending to health issues and they get priority over all the other stuff, though I check in here when I can; I'm glad this community exists, and is so robust.

@ubersoft You might want to try mojeek or StartPage. I've found that Google has become unreliable. I try to avoid Bing as well, because it heavily pushes Microsoft sites.

OTOH, you might be best off to go to the mariadb repository and look in the issue logs.

History's grotesque rhymes 

"As always, Black people are caught between the proverbial rock and hard place, not wanting to ignore Trumpian antics while also being wary of any connection with the likes of #AlSharpton. The confusion about what to do is rampant and mirrors the general sense of confusion about Black political activity."

@glynmoody Linus playing Prince of Persia is probably true, but the whole "play well with other [operating systems]" sounds like some Microsoft-washing. The ability to dual boot or even play DOS/Windows games natively certainly didn't help OS/2. Linux only survived the OS Wars because it was free (libre) software.

#UK Orders Apple To Break #Encryption Worldwide While World Is Distracted - techdirt.com/2025/02/07/uk-ord "This isn’t just about privacy — it’s about the future of secure communication itself" terrible, stupid move, even for #starmer... #apple

@dcz Does that mean your python programs are running 56/60 time vs rust or C? Sounds too fast. ;-)

How much do #Python clocks progress in "60 seconds"?

CLOCK_BOOTTIME 60.6
CLOCK_MONOTONIC 60.6
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW 56.0
CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID 0.000952
CLOCK_REALTIME 60.6
CLOCK_TAI 60.6
CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID 0.000952

Only CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW is tracking the hardware #clock correctly.

So if you actually want to measure #time accurately, use that one.
