So this was not only about FSFE and payments for them but a general audit of their (Nexi's) customers ?

It seems unlikely that the FSFE is the first customer they have asked for this information.

Nexi’s mid-2025 statement notes that they’re finalizing imposition of a ‘one process, all subsidiaries’ auditing costs reduction program across all of their subsidiary banks. The FSFE was likely being (incorrectly) audited under business-provides-services rules imposed by the parent megacorp, rather than as whatever human-led interpretation the bank had used formally, or as whatever charities or PACs are called in the EU. Ironically, had they switched exclusively to freedom-restricted passkeys, they could have structured their credentials store to divulge no private information and no usable credentials while formally complying with the bank’s efforts to find cause to fire them as a customer. But I think the bank would still have just found another way to fire them regardless.

Yeah, using the word "cancelled" that way in the title is... hyperbolic, even if it is technically true that the contract was cancelled.

That’s how I read the linked post as well, yes.

I read Finnish version of Hobbit that had Tove's art about 40 years ago.

Finnish public broadcasting company YLE has same rule. Even if they do cleanups of still images, they need to mark that article has AI generated content.

Do they find that fewer people read articles that were written by humans but have that label slapped on for the photo vs a baseline?

If not: I suspect fewer people may care and so what's the point of the label?

If so: why would they continue to use Ai solely to clean up photos?

I was under impression that Oxide rack does not currently ship with GPU's - at least with buildin. . Has this changed recently ?

In finnish, if you google for "spotti", first hit leads to "MTV SPOTTI". MTV is local tv channel and "spotti" is their advertisement portal to purchase their ad services. Second hit leads to "crossword puzzle" site that lists the word "spotti" with multiple explanations that refers to advertisement. Of course spotti has other meanings but its a term used for ads.. I do not know the etymology of that word in finnish but Finland and Sweden do share a lot of words , specifically when spoken.

So, while "spotify" meaning to add ads, might be fun theory, it does make a lot of sense from nordics point of view..

Finnish and Swedish are totally different languages. They are not even in the same language group.

Swedish is Scandinavian/Germanic, close to Norwegian, etc (Finland is Nordic, but is not Scandinavian). Finnish is Finno-Ugric, close to Estonian and Hungarian (yes).

> when did people forget how to run a baremetal server ?

My opinion on this: docker sort of changed the game here. It sort of enabled a lot of people to get a "new and fresh" level of abstraction to not bother about bare metal.

As an example, I work in company where most consultants are doing DevOps and k8 is big part of that.

What made me consider that? I've been told multiple times that "you know your stuff" when I mention some kernel or userland feature that container approach provides.

I wonder if this could be done with PythonBPF that was on HN about week ago ?

I know few modules that can take seconds to import but would have been nice to hear how much they actually gained?

Also maybe, if this approach could yield stats on if some import was needed or not ?

Git also ships bash for windows and doesn't require WSL. Can be even set as a default shell for OpenSSH so you can just ssh into windows bash...

Without actually knowing, i'd guess that would generate bytecode's that could be modified later by patching the resulting binary ?

I remember few buddies using similar pattern in ASM that just added n NOP's into code to allow patching and thus eliminating possible recompilation..

I suspect that’s it.

There was a lot of self-modification, going on, in those days. Old machine language stuff had very limited resources, so we often modified code, or reused code space.
