One of my favourite photos I've ever taken. Over 10yrs ago using Pentax K20D with just the kit lens if I remember correctly. This is straight out of camera no processing or fake bokeh

More from manipulator of #NZ election from his own mouth: βI would be delighted if we just carried on using MMP, just like it is. I can guarantee you right-wing government for foreseeable future.β MMP was designed to deliver proportionality, not this rort:

So when Wigramβs National candidate is asked if sheβs aware that NZ has a duty to prevent & punish countries who have engaged in genocide (e.g. Israel) she replyβs to the questioner:
βIβm not making any comments to you at all. Iβve got no time for you at all.β

The bug is like a joke.
On Alpine Linux, type 257 to 1024 characters of anything and you get root. π
βΌοΈ BREAKING: OpenSSH has rushed out a fix for a critical flaw that lets attackers log into some Linux servers without the right password.
The team learned of the bug a day earlier. OpenSSH's Damien Miller says long embargoes now mostly help attackers, because AI agents rediscover bugs, sometimes within hours.
It hits Linux systems on the musl C library with PAM off, such as Alpine Linux. Miller told admins to disable password logins or SSH itself "IMMEDIATELY".
Version 10.6p2 works around it. Systems on glibc or PAM are not affected, and Miller says the root cause sits outside OpenSSH.

Democrats will win big tonight then give their own voters the middle finger by appointing Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker and Chuck Schumer as Leader, and nothing will fundamentally change. This is how the duopoly works, which is why we need to topple the system.
