a] with a systemd service on a headless device , it may be preferable to start it on boot and keep it running rather than only running during an interactive login session. Among other things, this helps prevent a *race condition* that may occur when socket activation fails to initialize audio devices in time for their first use, leading to one-time errors after reboots
b] til tmux is managed by systemd even if its a user service

when is a job or service or user session supposed to linger is matter of how a service depends on the other *or not*
moreover some of these may have their own user accounts like rootless containers , with their own namespaces , which need be mapped to other services like
one can always check it with systemctl --user or linctl
so has this runRoot directory: "/run/user/1000/containers" graphRoot directory

Confirmed: Salmon are spawning in Arctic rivers
[the_ad id="30587"]

Researchers have confirmed that salmon are spawning in an Arctic Ocean watershed, suggesting that at least some salmon species could be expanding to new territory as climate change reshapes their habitat.

The University of Alaska Fairbanks-led project found about 100 chum salmon in the...

In early summer, I had the pleasure of portraying the six partners of Spawning – the people behind the opt-out website Have I been Trained, with whom I had been in contact since I found my work in LAION’s dataset and asked if I could opt out my entire site – for their new website!

Visited Inglis Falls at the weekend. A little downriver, we stumbled across a place where the #salmon were jumping the rapids to get their #spawning ground. It's quite an incredible thing to witness!
I didn't get good video of them in the rapids, but here they are navigating a calmer section of the river...

Looking at how to tell #AI scrapers not to use my #website. Is there any actual documentation for #Spawning's ai.txt format? Between the generator's output and their mention of robots.txt, it seems likely that one could expect a two line file like this to work:

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /

But I can't find anything that would confirm or refute this, just a bunch of stuff about why they think people should adopt ai.txt and how to use their generator.

...global ocean temperature had risen by 0.8°C
The temperature rise in the #BalticSea, in contrast, had increased by 2 to 3 °C in the same period.

The adverse effects had been: extreme growth of #jellyfish, #AlgalGrowth, fish 🐟 getting confused regarding the #spawning period and the strong endangerment of species.

E.g. the once ubiquitous #cod had become so rare that even #fishermen were calling for a a catch moratorium; there is...

As I explained a few days ago here https://masto.ai/@cybeardjm/110441686417732106 the sites I manage were all scanned multiple times for an AI.TXT file (resulting in 404 errors).
A few companies/orgs have decided to create a "standard" like robots.txt or ads.txt but for
#AI crawling of websites.
Read more on
#Spawning https://spawning.substack.com/p/aitxt-a-new-way-for-websites-to-set

They offer a "generator" to create your own ai.txt that's supposed to be placed at the root of sites:
https://site.spawning.ai/spawning-ai-txt
And they even created a special plugin for
#WordPress on #Github https://github.com/Spawning-Inc/spawning-wp-plugin

Mainly, the file contains "disallow" instructions on file types and some garbage ASCII design in a few comment lines.

There are a few problems here IMHO:
* is it safe to put such a "new" file at the root of any website?
* will it be respected, as so far just a handful of companies/orgs are supposed to have joined the org.

So far, I decided not to add the file, and instead used a "noai, noimageai" to inform robots in the header of pages, which might not be followed by crawlers...
And, I redirect all calls to ai.txt to 127.0.0.1 (for fun)...

Your thoughts?

Here's three tools for #artists to help protect their work from being used by #ArtificialIntelligence:

1. #Glaze: Software that causes #AI to make unrecognisable, glitched images when transformed by AI: glaze.cs.uchicago.edu

2. #Spawning.ai: Opt in / out of having your #artwork used in AI datasets: spawning.ai

3. #HaveIBeenTrained: Search the #LAION5B and #LAION400M datasets to see if your #art appears in it: haveibeentrained.com

Along coastlines around the world, at the time of the spring tide (that is, #NewMoon and #FullMoon), thousands of #PufferFish, gather at the water's edge and perform a writhing motion as they spawn. These fish are known as "semilunar spawners."
