pamterrifies me almost as much assendmail.cf@JessTheUnstill in alpine, @ska tried to sandbox PAM already.
we discovered that half the PAM modules violate the API contract and just twiddle application memory, despite this being a no-no in PAM.

What to do When Your Foucault Pendulum Stops Swinging
At the Houston Museum of Natural Science they recently made a disturbing discovery: their Foucault pendulum had stopped swinging for the first time since its installation in the 1970s. (Video, embedded below.)
While some might take this as yet another sign of the end times, here it is simply a sign that the electromagnetic system that kicks the pendulum developed a fault and will need to be fixed.
Their explainer video of this Herzstein Foucault pendulum is also worth watching, as it explains both the underlying physics and this particular pendulumās construction. Every 48 hours the 81.6 kg heavy pendulum completes a full rotation, like clockwork, with pins along the circumference being tipped over one by one as the pendulum precesses.

Invented by [LĆ©on Foucault] in 1851 as an experimental demonstration of Earthās rotation using a swinging pendulum, the Foucault pendulum remains a popular physical demonstration in museums and elsewhere. Although the pendulum seems to just follow the same line, it gradually shifts its plane of oscillation, making it seem that it rotates around its attachment point.The effect differs per region of the Earth globe, making it both a fascinating experiment and a sore point for those who insist that the Earth is a flat, unmoving disc.
Not only does it measure the rotation of the Earth, but also its shape due to how the effect changes depending on the pendulumās position on the globe, with the north and south poles showing it will precess in exactly 24 hours, while at the equator the pendulum will not precess at all.
We hope that the repair of the mechanism behind the Houston museumās pendulum progresses smoothly, and would love to see a video of its innards and repair.

I had ChatGPT put together a list of NBA feeds that donāt use paywalls. Itās been running a few days and the results are impressive. Iāll do a writeup of the list in next few days.

Hooked on Beboptical Illusion by the Gaz Hughes Trio. The opening track is absolute fire! It's the perfect blend of tradition and new energy.
It's also been a great companion for staying in the flow while coding. A must-listen for any #jazz fan in the fediverse!

@evan I like your analysis, but the social media UI I'm using is not adequate to read full articles (even short ones are painful). So not only the publishers need to provide the full article to the social media UI, that UI additionally needs to be improved accordingly.
Also, sadly, many public broadcasters rely on ads.

We mostly don't have ketchup chips in the US, at least my local grocers don't carry them. But, I did find ketchup powder, so I made my own. Pretty good. BBQ is still better, though (cue "God Bless America" as a single tear falls from the eye of a bald eagle flying over the Grand Canyon).
