@cwebber yeah, I was in Boston (UK) very recently, and was reminded of some of the history when I was there.
Springfield also surprises me, I associate it with The Simpsons, but I guess it's such a common name, it had to also be a real place.
Victory! Just try all the ports.
Turns out that using both DisplayPort outputs isn't stable, but using one , and then using the HDMI output (that I didn't really know I had) seems to work much better!!! 😁
@cwebber had to look at a map, but now I know where that is 🙂
I still find it weird how the place names overlap with the UK...
So two of my #Debian machines have been giving me trouble today, I've even given up fixing one, as it seems I've upgraded to a broken release of mutter...
However, I have discovered that the monitor I've had for years does have an audio input! So I've finally managed to hook up my speakers to my #Guix machine 🎉
The computer problem for today... logging in 🙁
https://boingboing.net/2018/06/21/digital-enclosure.html Very good blog post on the LibrePlanet 2018 closing keynote.
On "open source" as freedom for companies, and the problem this poses in getting free software out to everyone.
there is an assumption that “Open source will continue to fall from the sky like manna from heaven and that the people behind it can be abstracted away.” Show more
Cat friends 😆
There is a God after all - and his name is Tanu Kaskinen!

@david_ross interesting, thanks :)
I'm using the Extended Support Release (both through Debian's Firefox, and Guix's Icecat), so I've only got as far as version 52.
Backdoored images downloaded from DockerHub 5 million times https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/06/backdoored-images-downloaded-5-million-times-finally-removed-from-docker-hub/ https://kromtech.com/blog/security-center/cryptojacking-invades-cloud-how-modern-containerization-trend-is-exploited-by-attackers
Malware installed through DockerHub can also escape the container, so may continue to run.
Friends don't let friends install unreproducible black box container images.
@cwebber that makes sense. I guess when I think of *fully* reproducible, I think of a list like this https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_variations.html
On the reproducibility axis, I think the degree of success relates to how well the variations which are introduced are handled.
Holy shit! Mes now compiles tinycc which compiles gcc!

The fully reproducible system is nearly upon us!
@cwebber I think you might mean bootstrapable, rather than reproducible...
I _think_ I've got contexts working with #mu4e 📨 but it's still hard to tell, as I'm not quite sure what they are meant to do yet...
@catonano this does not seem to be a good development. I don't name calling in to the mix is going to help anything. 🙁
