Being springtime in Melbourne, we've had a lot of rain. This sometimes leads to washed out shows. However the historic commercial vehicle show did happen this year but was vastly down in numbers because of the weather.
We loaded up Harry on the trailer, and took Roger to his first one, and set off early Sunday morning for Yarra Valley.
A Ford ute I spotted en route. They did not come with us.
🧵
We got there early, as we had display vehicles. And Harry refused to move. Somehow one wheel is locked in position and we could not get him off the trailer. Very sad. So we left him and brought Roger in as other vehicles started arriving.
There was a lot of water everywhere so a lot of tactical parking was happening.

This Purple Petrol Eater won I think best in show. Faaaabulous colour!

Wandered back to Roger to find he'd found a parking buddy.

More Bedford trucks!
It kept lightly raining on and off during the day, so the sky keeps changing in these shots.

@vwdasher we love a Buffalo bus, don't we folks? Though, if I had my druthers, a Scenicruiser has better lines.

@vwdasher Flxibles are the most collectible, I think, amongst conversion bus fanatics. Some friends bought a very rough 60s Flxible and traveled in it for a year or two.
My favorite bus, and the one I think I'd buy if I were wanting to do a conversion, is the GM PD-4103.
Flxible has the benefit (or negative, depending on your perspective) of being relatively rare, so collectors value them pretty highly. And, there are certainly some gorgeous ones.

Un riassunto completo della vicenda chatcontrol raccontata sul sito di Mullvad
Il #chatcontrol è di nuovo in discussione.. Nel Consiglio dell'UE (gli Stati membri), diversi paesi continuano a lavorare su nuove versioni del disegno di legge. L'ultima bozza, presentata nel novembre 2025, è stata presentata con un branding e una semantica diversi, ma comporterebbe sorveglianza di massa , scansione dei dati privati tramite intelligenza artificiale, obbligo di documento d'identità per l'utilizzo dei servizi di messaggistica e, con un testo legislativo vago, il rischio di una scansione obbligatoria (anche per i servizi con crittografia end-to-end) in futuro.

"Anthropic has given its AI the right to end conversations when it is “distressed.” But doing so could be akin to unintended suicide."

«Contemporary AI rests on four pillars:
1. training data,
2. computing power,
3. statistical processing algorithms that roughly simulate neural networks (deep learning),
4. results of various « manual » work such as specialized databases, knowledge graphs that categorize and structure data, live evaluation feedback that allows fine-tuning...»
