You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Alex Pretti’s last words were β€œare you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Dracula is an identifiably bad movie but... it scratches something. I'm going to be lazy and just say "but Leslie carries enough weight to bring it around to 'bad-good'"

Excerpt from the linked news article. Text reads: "A witness to Wednesday's shooting in south Minneapolis told MPR News that she saw a federal agent shoot a woman several times.
Emily Heller lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations.
Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to "get out of here."
"She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in β€” like, his midriff was on her bumper - and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times," Heller said.
Heller said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car."

After 20 years in the UC system and 16 at Berkeley Lab, I’m taking off to try out the private sector. Incredibly surreal day. I’ll miss this view and the community here a whole lot but something interesting came along and I decided I can’t pass it up.

we can +1 this experience. Over the last 2 weeks, maybe more, our node image build pipeline fails 2 or 3 out of 10 fail and just require a restart.

identically to @vsoch.bsky.social's experience, it's a rapid, successive failure to grab manifests from a couple dozen mirrors.

Years ago, I stole my wife's nose (like one does a toddler's) and hid it. It's one of the more gravely serious things in our relationship. We had some particularly spicy thai tonight and she said "my nose is running!" to which I asked "what nose?"

Reader, there was genuine anger in the "fuck you"

Upgrading to proxmox9 and run rke2 on your hypervisors? NFS CSI not working? Intel gpu driver all sorts of pissed?

set "disable_apparmor=true" under [plugins.'io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri'] in /var/lib/rancher/rke2/agent/etc/containerd/config.toml.tmpl

Obv a temp workaround. That was so fun...

gitlab runner on an emulated aarch64 vm running on x86_64 proxmox building node images for machines that don't yet exist. bonus points for going in to the lab to steal an actual aarch64 node from an disused ceph cluster to speed up the builds (and hopefully test aarch64+warewulf)

life is weird...
