man and it calls home to see if I'm allowed to do that.
Because OP twtxt seems to be a cross-post from the Fediverse, I am bringing some context here. It refers to this GitHub issue. This comment explains why the issue described is happening:
This is usually due to notarization checks. E.g. the binaries are checked by the notarization service (‘XProtect’) which phones home to Apple. Depending on your network environment, this can take a long time. Once the executable has been run the results are usually cached, so any subsequent startup should be fast.
OP network must be running on 1,200 Baud modem, or less. 🤭 I have never, ever, experienced any distinguishable delays.
Bringing trains back: Rail’s surprising role in a sustainable future
Chelsea Haney, Staff Writer - New Atlas
_Stephan: While China, Europe, and Japan have developed very sophisticated high speed-passenger rail, in fiscal year 2022, Amtrak’s long-distance trains averaged only 48 mph between stations. There are a few lines running short distances in the Northeast U.S. that get up to 150, but there is nothing like China’s long range passenger rail that avera … ⌘ Read more

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Hm, that might actually be (partially) true. Some external CD drives (without such a weight) start to spin/wiggle when the drive spins up and down … Although I guess that’s not really the case for Audio CDs as they are run at a fixed low RPM value, I think. 🤔
OpenBSD 7.8 released
Like clockwork, every six months, we have a new OpenBSD release. OpenBSD 7.8 adds support for the Raspberry Pi 5, tons of improvements to sleep, wake, and hibernate, the TCP stack can now run in parallel on multiple processors, and so much more. DRM has been updated to match Linux 6.12.50, and drivers for the Qualcomm Snapdragon DRM subsystem and Qualcomm DisplayPort controller were added as well. The changelog is, as always, long and detailed, so head on over for the finer details. OpenBS … ⌘ Read more
Getting Started with Offload: Automating Everyday Workflows with Docker

Windows 11, now with even more “AI” where you don’t want it

Epigenetic changes help cells adapt to low oxygen levels, study reveals
