  • Newsom Claims to Support National Tax on Billionaires While Opposing It in CA

    Jump

  • The tax proposed in California is a one-time thing. Any billionaires that end up paying it will almost certainly see their wealth increase by what they paid and then some by the time Newsom is in a position to implement a national tax (and he probably won't do it). Newsom's tax is not a reason not to go ahead with California's tax.

  • They may need to extend it even further than that if PC prices haven't started coming back down by 2028.

  • Boffin Claims Microsoft's 'Quantum Leap' Is Invalid Due To 'Basic Python Errors'

    Jump

  • No, it's a British term The Register uses a lot. From Wikipedia:

    Boffin is a British slang term for a scientist, engineer, or other person engaged in technical or scientific research and development. A "boffin" was viewed by some in the regular military or government services as odd, quirky or peculiar, though quite bright and essential to helping in the war effort through having and developing the key ideas leading to transformative military capabilities.

  • Postmaster General Confirms Plan to Hold Back Mail Ballots in States that won’t Share Voter Data

    Jump

  • Earlier this year the Supreme Court just happened to rule that USPS can't be sued for not delivering mail.

    A divided Supreme Court sided with the federal government on Tuesday in U.S. Postal Service v. Konan, a dispute over mishandled mail. Writing for a 5-4 majority, Justice Clarence Thomas explained that a law protecting the U.S. Postal Service from lawsuits over lost or miscarried mail bars lawsuits over mail that was intentionally misdelivered.

    On Tuesday, the court sided with the government, holding that an intentional failure to deliver the mail falls within the FTCA’s postal exception. The ordinary meanings of both “miscarriage” and “loss” point the court to this conclusion, wrote Thomas in the majority opinion. “Because a ‘miscarriage’ includes any failure of mail to arrive properly, a person experiences a miscarriage of mail when his mail is delivered to his neighbor, held at the post office, or returned to the sender—regardless of why it happened,” he wrote. Similarly, “[w]hen Congress enacted the FTCA, the ‘loss’ of mail ordinarily meant a deprivation of mail, regardless of how the deprivation was brought about.”

  • "Boffin" made me think the slashdot post is about a post at The Register, and sure enough, it is.

  • His primary was yesterday too, and he was unopposed. If he's getting primaried it won't be until at least 2028.

  • Trump Refuses to Sign Housing Bill Until Unpopular Voting Restrictions Pass Congress

    Jump

  • I was saying it should be used. The person I was replying to seemed to be suggesting it and I was pointing out problems.

    edit: wasn't. I wasn't saying it should be used.

  • I don't think they can use the 25th amendment unless Vance is on board. And going into midterms with Acting President Vance might not be any more appealing to the Republicans than sticking with Trump.

  • Which caddy docker builds to use?

    Jump

  • I can't help you with automation. I update my containers manually, whenever I think to do it. Nothing is accessible outside my network so I'm not worried about staying on top of security updates.

  • Which caddy docker builds to use?

    Jump

  • You could just build it yourself, there's not much to it.

    Dockerfile:

     
        
ARG VERSION=2

FROM caddy:${VERSION}-builder AS builder

RUN xcaddy build \
    --with github.com/caddy-dns/cloudflare

FROM caddy:${VERSION}

COPY --from=builder /usr/bin/caddy /usr/bin/caddy

    My Dockerfile is under dockerfile-dns and then in docker-compose.yaml instead of pointing to an image I have:

     
        
services:
  caddy:
    build: ./dockerfile-dns

    I'm not 100% sure of the right way to update it, but I think I usually use something like docker compose build --pull --no-cache.

  • Valve describes just how brutal RAM negotiations are in 2026

    Jump

  • Literally on the Steam Machine page:

    • CPU: Semi-custom AMD Zen 4 6C / 12T
    • GPU: Semi-custom AMD RDNA3 28CUs

  • Valve describes just how brutal RAM negotiations are in 2026

    Jump

  • The Steam Machine uses semi-custom processors. Changing them would have required getting AMD to design new chips, not swapping out off-the-shelf parts. AMD doesn't yet have an RDNA4 replacement for the GPU, so they would probably only go up to RDNA3.5, and that might not have been enough of a boost to even be worth the trouble.

  • UE 5.8 is supposed to include a "Lumen Lite" and some other improvements so that "games that rely on global illumination for artistic purposes can run on Nintendo Switch 2 at 60 fps". That'll probably provide a big boost on other platforms, but I dunno if anyone will patch their existing games to the new version.
