If you want to help the victims of the terrorist attacks in Lebanon, the Lebanese Red Cross is working pretty damn hard right now and could do with some support.

Been trying to contact a shipwright, ANY shipwright, in France, to help with my annual boat maintenance and, is it a French thing that NOBODY EVER FUCKING ANSWERS THEIR FUCKING EMAIL?
Do not make me fucking phone you. I am neurodivergent and I don't speak French.

Just replaced my old Apple TV 4K with the newer model that is also a Thread border router. I now have two: the HomePod Mini (WiFi) and the Apple TV (Ethernet).
And OMG, Thread is so much faster & more reliable!

Maybe also Elendil's daft daughter who's replaced Anarion... and possibly some of the weird sorcerer types in Rhun, who knows?
In a way I'm glad it's ripped up the canon and started again, the lore might as well be toilet paper now so it's keeping me guessing.
Any idea what we can do to mitigate remote contacts using animated GIFs for their avatars and causing zombie worker jobs because PHP canβt handle the format? It started as a small issue, but more and more people (especially on lemmy) seem to be using these avatars and itβs causing a significant administration headache where I have to find out which contact is responsible by manually searching the SQL database and then server blocking them.
If Update Contact failed gracefully it would be less of an issue, but it doesnβt. Iβm sure I canβt be the only one seeing this?
@Sarah Brown @Steffen K9 π° @Hypolite Petovan Maybe it is something Alpine Linux specific. I Am also using Alpine and I also had this error all the time. Either the one you posted (gd-webp cannot allocate..) or another one. Currently I only see this one, but very often :
Fatal Error (E_ERROR): Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 96485376 bytes)
I tried to allow more memory, up to 2048M.. it didn't help.. (now I am using 512M again) I don't know why this happens. But I understand it is not nice, having the admin log section full of it. π
What PHP version and memory_limit do you use? ( I use PHP 8.3.10 and 512M)
Been thinking about Sarahβs history of English royalty since William t he Conquerer. Let me know if I left anything important out:
Succession crisis -> civil war.
Civil war resolved, negotiated succession.
Descendant of negotiated successor pisses everyone off -> civil war.
Descendant forced to accept terms.
Stability for a bit while theyβre busy fighting other people.
Succession crisis -> civil war.
Civil war resolved violently.
Succession crisis (religion). Civil war narrowly averted.
Dynasty goes extinct. Succession negotiated.
Descendant of negotiated successor pisses everyone off -> civil war.
Civil war resolved through decapitation.
Succession crisis. Civil war averted via negotiated succession.
Succession crisis -> civil war fizzles
Dynasty goes extinct (yes, Charlie, it did. Shut up)
Parliament is finally utterly fucking sick of this lot starting civil wars, installs German puppets. The end.

BREAKING! In a move that the Liberal Democrat party hopes will finally deal with their transphobe problem, they have handed the Sudetenland to the transphobes.
In exchange, the transphobes pinky promised that they wonβt demand any further concessions, βyou know, for a bit anywayβ.

Iβm upgrading this year. My phone is 3 years old and the camera stuff is worth it for me. My step daughter is getting my old one, which she is thrilled with.

Yesterday I saw a discussion about whether you can smell in a dream.
As fate would have it, I had a lucid dream last night (I have a cold. Thatβs probably why), so I decided to test it.
Yes, you can smell in dreams.

depends if you want the correct answer. Of course it's entry, but I was being silly.
There is a really good stackoverflow that gives information about CI (cancel input) as well as CA and CK too

It's the only answer I could see.
What's the difference between 'C' and 'CE' functions on Windows calculator?
I have always seen the C and CE buttons on physical calculators just as they are displayed on the Windows Calculator, but I never really understood what the abbreviations mean and what exactly is theSuper User
vintagecalculators.com/ or stackoverflow? or is there another?

The simplest, most direct way to disabuse someone of the notion that LLMs have any kind of model of reality, even an implied emergent one, is to play a game of 20 Questions, with the LLM asking the questions.
In the real life game, the player guessing has β§nothingβ§ to go on other than their world model and logic, and it becomes obvious very, very quickly that an LLM simply stringing "typical" questions together has neither, and has no framework for extracting any kind of information from your yes/no answers.
To me, this seems much cleaner than to "trick" them with riddles or logic puzzles or ambiguous language etc., and is also not merely harder, but fundamentally impossible to patch.
