I heard it from another source, and then the story was that he called it tadpole, and the editor complained that it sounds too silly. So then he said “well, then I’m going to call it a spermion”, and the editor shuts up after that.

While on the subject on Feynman diagrams and names… You know the Tadpole?

In 1985 Coleman stated (perhaps as a joke) that Physical Review’s editors rejected the originally proposed name “spermion”.

bring down the average temp by ~10 to 15c.

Your cpu temp is at 15C? Is your room very cold, otherwise will you not have problems with condensation?

Edit: nvm, you mean 10-15c, I just read it wrong in my head.

It’s not important…

Is there a test to see if your cpu has deteriorated?

At least a lot of Swedish parties had an anti-China message for the EU election. Those parties are also very anti-infrastructure, so idunno, maybe?

When I was in academia, my inbox was like 40% emails like “publish your next article here”, " you are invited to conference x", “your article on x”. You get a lot of spam that is generated with text snippets from your work, so it is very targeted. You just have to start ignoring most emails. The other 60% is just work convos from known sources, so it is very easy to separate the two. Or kind of… you could still get an invitation or a review request, but you sort of know peoples names and names of joirnals. I guess its just hard to get by this.

I had the option for some compensation for my reviews. Very little, but still.

I have been the referee for two articles at an academic journal. It said in their agreement that for three or more papers per year you’d be compensated this and that much. But I guess I misunderstood because they emailed me and asked to pay me for just the two reviews. Anyhow, it basically no money. The time you put in to do a proper review is a lot more than what you are compensated for. Your uni still pays your salary, so this is just a bonus, but still, very little. This journal is hosted by a public entity, private ones may be very different.

I had a spider in a web right over the fuckin hole in the wall where all the ants enterd. This fucking guy did nothing. Just sat there watching food parade in and out all day all night. Like, come on!

Windows 98SE for me too. I wanted to escape XP hell, so I stayed on 98SE until 2005 when I switched to linux.

You should be aware that in Sweden the far right party talks about “immigrants” “replacing you” even if they are born in sweden and even if the have only one parent from abroad. They are also a bit worried about third generation immigrants so… Yeah. Citizenship means nothing to these people.

An RCE on openssh is insanenly dangerous, unless there is some additional context… This CVE only got an 8.1 in score (what redhad and ubuntu showed at least), which I would say is really low openssh RCE attack. Reading the original investigation, they needed about 10k attempts to trigger a timeout to make it work. Due to it being a timeout 10k attempts took somewhere between 3 hours and like a week (depending an version). I suppose the complexity and average time it takes to carry out the attack gave it such a low score.

I love that Sweden signed the DCA the other day so the US military can come here and do it here too.

My bank blocked “firefox” at some point on debian. Then it was because the version of firefox presented it self to be too old (because debian) to the bank so they blocked me. Firefox was up to date on security pathes, but the bank did not understand that and blocked.

Hey, the swedish far right party did the same thing basically. They played the same song at a party, singing the racist lines infront of a journalist who was recording, then tried to steal the equipment of the journalist. “It’s just a joke”.

Zizek at least got it right this time.

That’s true.

If I’m not mistaken, it seems like this is a timing attack and you need a lot of attack attempts to make it work. If you have like a fail2ban rule for ssh it should mitigate this attack to quite some degree, right? (Of course updating would still be the best).
