Huh. Hadn’t heard of this before now.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_Mountain_(Wyoming)

Immediately following this period of mountain-building, volcanic eruptions began to form the now extinct volcanoes of the Absaroka Range that lie to the south of the Beartooths and extend into Yellowstone National Park. Between 50 and 48 million years ago a sheet of rock about 500 square miles (1,300 square kilometers) in area detached from the plateau south of the Beartooths and slid tens of kilometers to the southeast and south into the Bighorn and Absaroka Basins.[8] This sheet, consisting of Ordovician through Mississippian carbonate rocks and overlying Absaroka volcanic rocks, was probably originally about 4 to 5 kilometers (2.5 to 3.1 mi) thick. Although the slope was less than 2 degrees, the front of the landslide traveled at least 25 miles (40 km) and the slide mass ended up covering over 1,300 square miles (3,400 km2). This is by far the largest rockslide known on land on the surface of the Earth and is comparable in scale to some of the largest known submarine landslides.[9]

Many models have been proposed to explain what caused this huge slab of rocks to start sliding and what allowed it to slide so far on such a low slope, fragmenting, thinning and extending as it went. Most geologists[who?] who have worked in the area agree that Absaroka volcanism played a role in the sliding and many suggest that a major volcanic or steam explosion initiated movement. Another model involves injection of numerous igneous dikes with the resulting heating of water within pores in rocks causing an increase in pressure which initiated sliding. Some geologists have suggested that hot pressurized water (hydrothermal fluids), derived from a volcano which sat north of Cooke City, Montana, effectively lubricated the sliding surface. Another possibility is that once the slide was moving, friction heated the limestone along the sliding surface, creating pseudotachylite,[10] which then further broke down to calcium oxide and carbon dioxide gas (or supercritical fluid).[9] The gas supported the slide in the way that air pressure supports a hovercraft, allowing the slide to move easily down the very low slope. When the rockslide stopped, the carbon dioxide cooled and recombined with calcium oxide to form the cement-like carbonate rock now found in the fault zone. The consensus favors catastrophic sliding and calculations suggest that the front of the sliding mass may have advanced at a speed of over 100 miles per hour (161 km/h), meaning that the mountain traveled to its present location in approximately 30 minutes.[11]

I scrolled down to confirm that there is no “share on Mastodon” or “share on Threadiverse” link at the end of the article.

Update (2025-01-12): Added Lemmy endpoint which has been fixed by now. Also mentioned the new nodeinfo schema version 2.1.

Well, if it’s not doing anything, I’d probably reboot. Then re-run whatever the command is that triggered the update.

Worst case, if you can’t boot up to a graphical environment, I expect that you can probably boot it into a non-graphical “rescue mode” or similar from GRUB. I dunno if Fedora shows it by default, but IIRC holding shift should stop boot at GRUB, or tapping an arrow key when it’s up. It’ll let you log in as root. When you do, just repeat whatever command was used to trigger the update.

No problem. Yeah, it’s an invaluable off-site resource that new users don’t get informed about. Indexes all of the Threadiverse instances, whereas any given instance can only search the communities that are local or at least one local user has subscribed to.

It would enable him to start fucking his daughter

I don’t think that Melania’s presence stateside has anything to do with the legality of Trump having sex with his daughter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_incest_in_the_United_States

In all but two states (and the special case of Ohio, which “targets only parental figures”),[1] incest is criminalized between consenting adults. In New Jersey and Rhode Island, incest between consenting adults (16 or over for Rhode Island, 18 or over for New Jersey) is not a criminal offense, though marriage is not allowed in either state. New Jersey also increases the severity of underage sex offenses by a degree if they are also incestuous, and also criminalizes incest with 16-17 year olds (the normal age of consent in New Jersey is 16). Ohio allows incest between consenting adults only when one party is not a parental figure (see table below) to the other.

So, that’d work in Rhode Island or New Jersey, as long as they don’t marry, but I don’t think that the public in either of those two states is too keen on Trump.

EDIT: For context, note that I’m assuming that ubergeek is referencing this:

I think that what may be going on here is that Russia has had more artillery shell manufacturing capability than NATO (or did earlier in the year; not sure what the present situation is). Mark Rutte — as Secretary General of NATO — highlighted this about halfway through 2025, while urging members to increase their production capacity:

https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/07/16/is-russia-producing-a-years-worth-of-nato-ammunition-in-three-months

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has repeatedly said that Moscow’s annual ammunition production capacity is four times greater than that of the western alliance.

In a keynote speech in London last month, the NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte repeated a warning he has made in public at least three times this year: the western alliance is severely lagging behind Moscow on ammunition production.

“In terms of ammunition, Russia produces in three months what the whole of NATO produces in a year,” Rutte said on 10 June, adding that Putin’s war machine is “speeding up, not slowing down".

Yet the Western alliance is looking to dramatically close the gap in 2025.

The European Commission has set a target to ramp up ammunition production to 2 million rounds per year in 2025, while the US is looking to hit a new target of 100,000 rounds per month by October.

As best I can tell, Russian media grabbed the quote about artillery shell manufacture and ran with it, presenting it in such a way as to convey an impression that Russia has more military-industrial capacity as a whole than NATO does. I imagine that that plays well with domestic audiences, but…

Actually, if I were Canada, I’d probably want to be selling lumber into the EU too, which would make their life a lot easier regarding the US.

The EU has gotten a lot of lumber from Russia.

Canada has had long-standing trade disputes with the US over lumber, where the US lumber industry has pushed for protectionist policy. Like, decades and decades.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada–United_States_softwood_lumber_dispute

The Canada–U.S. Softwood Lumber Dispute is one of the largest and most enduring trade disputes between both nations.[1] This conflict arose in 1982 and its effects are seen till today. British Columbia, the major Canadian exporter of softwood lumber to the United States, was most affected, reporting losses of 9,494 direct and indirect jobs between 2004 and 2009.[2]

If Canada had two very large markets, that’d probably make their life easier. And the EU does not have a lot of lumber, which is why masonry construction is more common than in the US and Canada in most of Europe.

American import taxes on softwood from Canada now total 45.16 per cent for most Canadian producers.

The U.S. Department of Commerce raised duty rates in the summer. Lumber supplies from Canada currently face an anti-dumping duty rate of 14.63 per cent and a countervailing duty rate of 20.53 per cent, equalling 35.16 per cent for most Canadian producers. That’s up sharply from duties totalling 14.4 per cent previously.

New 10-per-cent tariffs on shipments of softwood lumber from Canada and other countries took effect on Oct. 14. U.S. President Donald Trump announced the new levies in late September, citing Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, which allows him to impose tariffs on the basis of national-security concerns.

“This situation is the direct result of the protectionist economic policies advanced by President Donald Trump,” Mr. Parmar said.

Due to take effect from the end of December 2025, the EUDR is the EU’s most meaningful effort yet to end its complicity in skyrocketing levels of forest destruction and affiliated human rights abuses. It does this by regulating the trade in timber, palm oil, soy, beef and other products driving that destruction. The law would also greatly aid efforts to stem the EU’s imports of conflict plywood from Russia and Belarus.

Canada’s Energy Minister Tim Hodgson said the Toronto meeting will aim to formally launch a new initiative designed to curb China’s market influence. The Critical Minerals Production Alliance will “secure transparent, democratic, and sustainable critical mineral supply chains across the G7,” he said. Under the alliance, the governments of Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States would mobilize private investment to expand critical mineral production that bypasses China.

I’m going to guess that Canada has a bunch of said reserves and would be happy to sell them, particularly if the US is decoupling supply chains from China and the EU from Russia.

Canada to Unlock Critical Minerals Rare Earth Development in Northern Quebec and Labrador With New Funding

Investments in critical minerals infrastructure are essential for Canada to seize the enormous economic opportunity presented by the low-carbon economy and to capitalize on our rich mineral resources. Canada is well positioned to be a global leader and a first-class producer of a wide variety of critical minerals that are essential for powering the clean economy, strengthening national defense capabilities and ensuring national and economic security. By developing and expanding critical mineral value chains — from mining and processing to manufacturing and recycling — Canada can create good jobs, support economic opportunities and contribute to a resilient and secure future.

Canada’s critical minerals

What makes them critical

To be considered a critical mineral in Canada, a mineral must meet both of the following criteria:

• the supply chain is threatened

• there is a reasonable chance of the mineral being produced by Canada

It must also meet one of the following criteria:

• be essential to Canada’s economic or national security

• be required for the national transition to a sustainable low-carbon and digital economy

• position Canada as a sustainable and strategic partner within global supply chains

Yeah.

Honestly, even limiting it to, say, the WiFi network, having a default admin login is not great.

Why do people keep giving her air time?

Young Turks does progressive political advocacy. If she’s going to do probably-politically-counterproductive stuff like this on air, I suppose I’d probably give her time too.

I think a better question is why Stephen Miller has his wife off doing interviews like this.

EDIT: Man, professionally, she’s even done high-level communications, too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katie_Miller

Miller served as a deputy press secretary under U.S. President Donald Trump at the United States Department of Homeland Security from 2017 to 2019. She was the communications director for Vice President Mike Pence from 2020 to 2021 and acted as his press secretary from 2019 to 2020.

Miller was an advisor and spokesperson for the Department of Government Efficiency from January to May 2025, when she departed DOGE to work for Elon Musk in the private sector.

Maybe I’d blame Stephen less and her more.

In all seriousness, after the COVID-19 thing, the JIT manufacturing people didn’t start stockpiling this stuff or at least obtaining alternate sources?

The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) issued an urgent warning on Wednesday saying its members, which include BMW, Fiat, Peugeot and Volkswagen, were now working on “reserve stocks but supplies are dwindling”.

“Assembly line stoppages might only be days away. We urge all involved to redouble their efforts to find a diplomatic way out of this critical situation,” said its director general, Sigrid de Vries.

Another ACEA member, Mercedes, is now searching globally for alternative sources of the crucial semiconductors, according to its chief executive, Ola Källenius.

We had to face this exact problem, automakers blowing up due to lack of reliable chip supply, like five years ago and automakers went running for state support and didn’t get it hammered out then?

kagis

Looks like it’s not just European auto manufacturers, either:

https://gmauthority.com/blog/2025/10/u-s-auto-plants-could-shut-down-in-a-few-weeks-due-to-chip-shortage/

U.S. auto plants could face major production slowdowns within weeks as a deepening conflict between China and Western nations over semiconductors threatens to disrupt global supply chains. The issue first came to light earlier this month, as GM Authority reported previously.

As reported by Bloomberg, the situation stems from Beijing’s decision to block chipmaker Nexperia from exporting components from its China-based facilities following the Dutch government’s move to seize control of the Chinese-owned company. According to the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association, or MEMA, the largest vehicle supplier group in the United States, manufacturers could begin feeling “significant impacts” in as little as two to four weeks if the issue persists.

EDIT:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020–2023_global_chip_shortage

Between 2020 and 2023, there was a worldwide chip shortage affecting more than 169 industries,[1] which led to major price increases, long queues, and reselling among consumers and manufacturers for automobiles, graphics cards, video game consoles, computers, household appliances, and other consumer electronics that require integrated circuits (commonly called “chips”).[2][3][4]

I mean, come on.

You might just ask your question and see if someone can answer it, even if they don’t specifically use that combination. I don’t think that there’s any deep integration between the two.

The issue is less a shell detonated at the wrong time and more that they fired a seriously large shell over a public highway for no good reason.

Well, sure, that’s an issue, but I expect that they’re going to go look into that. But if the statement is correct that this is a very rare malfunction that we experienced right after rolling out a ton of new artillery shell production capacity for the first time in a very long time — my understanding is that the prior production capacity dated to World War II — then it might indicate a flaw that could have consequences elsewhere.

I don’t know whether the Ukrainians are reporting premature detonations back upstream.

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/10/23/no-public-warnings-marines-test-fired-live-munitions-over-busy-interstate-5-train-lines.html

The M777 howitzer is an indirect fire weapon, meaning that it’s made to loft explosive shells in an arced trajectory over friendly forces and into enemy territory. Pirek said that, until now, the weapons system used had “pretty much a 0% malfunction rate.”

So, second question: Is this a new-manufacture shell? We just ramped up our artillery shell production. Are we sending Ukraine shells that are prone to premature detonation?

The subject can enter and exit fictional worlds from media that the subject did not create, at will.

smaller than 4m^3 within 2m of them can be transported with the subject into or out of fictional worlds, either way.

It sounds like collaboration with another person would effectively nullify that constraint. Like, if I can talk to someone else, and ask them to write a paragraph-long description of a fictional world with smallish thing, then I can pretty trivially obtain thing, for pretty much any value of thing.
