The commit it reverted has a high probability of also being generated with an LLM, though without disclosing that in the commit message.

Amusingly, the only DCFCs near me that charge by time and not kwh are run by utilities.

That PR was apparently accepted by the operator, not by the bot. Kind of weird.

Current branch without bloat is to cat .git/HEAD, and if that didn't exist, run git symbolic-ref HEAD. The first is faster and works in the common case where you're in the top of a git repo. In either case, run it through ${b

It's worth noting that a new installation of Debian will still display the same Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific menu to the user as shown in the screenshot. It just maps those to the non-deprecated names now.

I have driven 20 thousand EV miles in the past year, with 50% of my charging being at public chargers (and 50% at home). I have never needed to wait in line, and have never needed to interact with anyone regarding charging.

This reminds of of a web page that did this for Ithaca NY circa 1995. The page was a static hardcoded shade of grey.

Steve Langasek decided to work on this problem in the last few years of his life and was a significant driver of progress on it. He will be missed, and I'll always think of him when I see a 64 bit time_t.

When did you request that firefox back up the content to your profile? Bear in mind that a nontechnical user has no idea it does this, and a technical user only realizes it does this after reading the code or experiencing a crash. You &quot

Those tariffs have were entirely worked around on the Chinese side before the ink was dry. One easy dodge: Manufacture in eg India for a little bit more, sell those to the US, transport Chinese solar panels for installation in India. I boug

Tea is absolutely NOT "taking steps to remediate this problem". They are grifters and part of their grift is claiming to take steps when called out.

Since a liblzma backdoor could be used to modify compiler packages that are installed on some distributions, it gets right back to a trusting trust attack. Although initial detection via eg strace would be possible, if the backdoor was late

Not really. xz worked fine 2 years ago. Roll back to 5.3.1 and apply a fix for the 1 security hole that was fixed since that old version. (ZDI-CAN-16587) Slight oversimplification, see https://bugs.debian.org/1068024 discus
