I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

The good folks at #Gentoo are looking for new infrastructure sponsors. They're mostly looking for rack-space, power and connectivity and they'll provide the hardware. Preferably outside the US, but not necessarily.

This is a good reminder that if you buy a used CPU (or entire computer) one of the things you should be doing right away is wiping the TPM. For CPUs it's because of the rise of so-called firmware TPMs on board and it's usually always safe to do so, given you're essentially making a new build. But for PCs it's something that carries consequences. For example you'll want to suspend BitLocker encryption first if it has Windows pre-installed, or you'll lock yourself out of it.
