Trying to run an AlmaLinux 10 container on older x86 hardware, and getting the following?
Fatal glibc error: CPU does not support x86-64-v3
The incantation you're looking for is, from the command line:
podman run --variant=v2 quay.io/almalinuxorg/almalinux:10
Or, from a Dockerfile:
FROM --platform=linux/amd64/v2 quay.io/almalinuxorg/almalinux:10
Notice that these don't (currently?) work with Docker's container repository, so Red Hat's it is.

It's @ukgamesexpo weekend, and we're excited to see what new games folks have picked up, so we'll be going ahead with our monthly Sunday games afternoon as usual on 1st June. Join us at @therollingmilljq, from 2pm onwards. We'll be there until the evening, so feel free to drop in later and treat us as the unofficial Expo after-party.

In idle moments I have thought that I should try to cut down on semicolons, because, if one day I decided to a crime, they would somehow use them to catch me.

Overheard:
Shop assistant 1, trying to explain what she's just seen to a colleague: "You know when it's really hot out, so you take your top off and that?".
Shop assistant 2, with revulsion: "No!!"
Just seen my first shirtless man with a beer gut of the year. And people still doubt global warming.

Someone on this train carriage is playing an ocarina (badly, in case that didn't go without saying). Everyone but me is pretending not to be able to hear it.

Thanks to @mavit!
The care instructions for this scarf are topologically problematic.
I find myself today wearing double corduroy. Is this a fashion faux pas similar to double denim, or merely an appropriate response to the changing of the seasons (and the passing of the years).

I listened to The Bangles and tried to walk like an Egyptian. Now I need to see a Cairo practor.
Flying ant day in October?!
I know we've all been distracted recently by old new Snobs moving to new new Snobs, but did anyone realise that old old Snobs is now a corner shop?!
