Saudi Arabia's Energy Secretary appearing to have been given direct edit access to the COP statement, a privilege afforded to nobody else, and having used it to catastrophic effect compounds the absurdity.

As a one off it's bad, but the influence of undemocratic states on UN bodies and their publications is often supposed to pervert things in this way.

The UN has always had more than a little absurdity to it, but it's picked up in pace and severity these last few years and the group of states vulnerable to climate catastrophe walking out of its climate change conference might serve as a punctuation mark to the whole endeavour.

With democracy in retreat, illiberal authoritarianism and militarism in ascendency, and international institutions under constant threat, this might be a very dark day.

@analogfusion tbh the bigger deal here for me was getting 2.5Gbps ethernet going. Fewer ports than my current set-up, but super fast WiFi means I don't need as many.

A picture of the TP-Link Archer BE550 WiFi 7 router/AP next to its box on the floor.  In the background, some ethernet, audio, and HDMI cabling is visible, as well as one of my Edifier speakers and a number of my non-fiction booms on a bookshelf — including K&R C, the Django book, Sooner Safer Happier, some Carl Sagan, some books on anarchism, Barack Obama's books, and Hofstadter's Gödel Escher and Bach.

The sense of catastrophe as Storm Bert brings a multiple-hazard weather event to Britain notwithstanding, I am very glad that it's at least a bit warmer today.

I vastly prefer winter to summer, but this last week was unreasonably cold.

I really hope this marks a shift away from government being susceptible to right wing astroturfing. We had so much of it during the Johnson-onward Tory era of populism that favoured the will of small pressure groups over good governance.

May that end here, with evidence-based policy for the public good reigning supreme.

Except I'm impatient, so I'm moving to linux-next, the staging repo for the next major kernel version now: https://www. kernel.org/doc/man-pages/linux-next.html

It's also time for me to upgrade my network beyond gigabit, so I'm picking up a WiFi 7 router with 2.5Gbps ports tomorrow.

Digging around, it turns out that the RTL8125 device has a new iteration for this motherboard — RTL8125d — which isn't yet supported by r8169: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/f971d88 e-be1f-494b-b754-e992adfe6321@gmail.com/T/

So it seems I just have to wait for that driver to get mainlined, which will be very soon, when 6.13 lands: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/2024111 9161923.29062-1-pabeni@redhat.com/

I have a couple of new use cases requiring fast file transfers, and for some reason the r8125 driver periodically autonegotiates at 100Mbps. Ethtooling it to force gigabit speed prevents any connectivity. I've been fixing it by unplugging/replugging repeatedly until it negotiated gigabit speed correctly — after confirming it wasn't my switch at fault.

Some #Linux fun:

My new x870 motherboard has an RTL8125 ethernet controller. RTL8125 devices are supported through the kernel's r8169 module, but that doesn't work for me (more on this later).

Realtek release their own open source drivers, which don't get mainlined directly due to them working with the network stack in a weird way. Regardless, I used their r8125 module up until now — until encountering a bug recently...

Also, it is kinda funny that Israel could've killed the ICC's case simply by starting their own investigation.

The ICC is considered a court of last resort and operates on a complementarity principle — meaning it can only act when other national courts fail to act.

Had Israel started an investigation into whether crimes against humanity were being committed, the ICC case would've necessarily stopped.

My view on such things is, "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall."

I'm not sure the disgraced prosecutor was wise in pursuing this case, but even so the law must be applied, the case answered, and justice done.

I am also dead sure none of those things will be done.
