One of those liminal spaces. Love it.

Softer running surface and better/newer shoes are the usual answers. Asphalt and especially concrete are much harder than your treadmill surface so your shins are taking more shock with each strike. If you can shift some of your run to turf or natural surfaces that will help.

The other thing is to check your shoes and change them every 300-500 miles or so. A running store employee can usually watch your gait and make suggestions about the right kind of support, padding, etc for you.

It would be ideal If the big activitypub platform stacks like mastodon, Lemmy, etc could agree on some standard like a federated OIDC or DID approach for all authx/authn functions. then fediverse users could get cross-platform and even cross-instance logins “for free”

Of the changes made last week to the license, this one stands out:

  1. None of the Work may be used in any form as part, or whole, of an integration, plugin or app that integrates with Atlassian's Confluence or Jira products.

That is a weird carve-out, so I'd guess the license revision (and technically the reason it's no longer open source) somehow has to do with Atlassian or their plugin marketplace?

Feel like the (totally impractical) fediverse end-game would be for each individual to have their own activitypub service, and federation happening on a person-by-person basis. So you retain some control over anything you publish, and your history is yours to keep.

As others have said, changing UPS batteries is required maintenance, and I agree 18-24 months is the typical service life for even high-end UPSs. However, you may want to look into LiFePO4 based UPSs, which can handle many more charge-discharge cycles and often have 5-year warranties. More expensive and potentially not as recyclable as lead acid batteries, but maybe appropriate for your use case.

Yeah I wish they'd just transcribe their youtube videos and make blog-style posts with some of the screenshots. I'm almost never going to watch a 20-minute video, it's not like they'd be losing a viewer.

Good suggestion! Though sometimes they're a little too technical for me.

With AnandTech gone and TomsHardware aside, what’s another great “deep cuts” tech news and reviews site?

Are you talking about min-maxing, or like "chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' &c" ?

Stay strong, brother.

I think they say this because they’re in their 30s now and would prefer to still be in their 20s (saying that as a 40 is the new 30 guy)

 

Though I guess "Saudi Arabia" and "dystopia" is a little redundant

 

Graphene: is there anything it can't do (aside from be manufactured at scale, anyway)

 

Some serious engineering makes for a pretty compelling voxel display. Plus the whole build saga is on Mastodon! Go Fediverse!

 

Robocalls with AI voices to be regulated under Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the agency says. I'm pretty sure this puts us on the timeline where we eventually get incredible, futuristic tech, but computers and robots still sound mechanical and fake.

 

SpaceX's laser system for Starlink is delivering over 42 petabytes of data for customers per day, an engineer revealed today. That translates into 42 million gigabytes. Each of the 9,000 lasers in the network is capable of transmitting at 100Gbps, and satellites can form ad-hoc mesh networks to complete long-haul transmissions when there are no ground towers nearby (like when they're going across oceans).

 

Doctrow argues that nascent tech unionization (which we're closer to having now than ever before) combined with bipartisan fear (and consequent regulation) either directly or via agencies like the FTC and FCC can help to curb Big Tech's power, and the enshittification that it has wrought.
