Again?!

Nope. Like “what to get for the company party? A, B or C”.

Workflow: open excel sheet to know what it is about, save it, edit it, drag&drop it to the answer-mail. That could have been one of the zilions of online polling tools.

The kind we know from history and China has the problem of giving some individuals way too much power over others. But so does capitalism in the long run, in way meaner ways.

Drivers in kernel, so it should generally work. Except if you have hw-specific configs around, but that’s something that you did then.

Rsync with checksuming and respective mount options. What was it, 1 bit flip per 1 TB transfer?

Yep, torx or allen (around 1mm it’s just as good).

“cooldown” is exactly what it sounds like: a window of time between when a dependency is published and when it’s considered suitable for use. The dependency is public during this window, meaning that “supply chain security” vendors can work their magic while the rest of us wait any problems out.

Key points:

the company had developed a special reflective particle and the technology to release millions of tons of it high into the atmosphere. The intended effect: to dim the light of the sun across the world and throw global warming into reverse.

Humanity had gained the power to turn down the sun, and barely anyone on the planet even knew. What’s more, that untested power was now effectively for sale. In a world of rising chaos, sci-fi-pilled billionaires and nationalist leaders, a private company offering the means to control the world’s temperature — with almost no international laws regarding the deployment of such technology — was a disturbing prospect, thought Pasztor.

almost exactly a year after he published the report he was contracted to write and a few months after he ended his relationship with the company amicably, Pasztor was troubled. Apart from a link to his report on Stardust’s homepage, there was little public indication that they were taking his recommendations for transparency seriously. The company had not published a code of conduct it had agreed on with Pasztor and had told him it would release. The website itself was difficult to find while we were reporting this article; two cyber experts confirmed to us that it contained a line of code that hid it from search engines so that it could only be found using the link. (Yedvab said the coding that hid the website was unintentional and the company has since fixed it.) Some scientists in the geoengineering community were also complaining that Stardust remained secretive about the chemistry of its particle and its plans for releasing them.

The mechanics would be quite simple. Stardust envisages a fleet of around 100 planes — to begin with — flying into the stratosphere to deliver payloads of their particles, landing to reload, then immediately taking off again to repeat, continuously, every flight a tiny volcanic cough.

Oh! The MAGATs enable Chemtrails! 🤣

x86 Android is new?

And maybe learn new (thought-provoking) things with age, so the areas keep connected.

Spineless fools.

Nice! I wish job and flat markets were required to provide updates via RSS, instead of the stupid html-only email-newsletter.

It doesn’t need protecting. Just stop damaging it.

Build your own with a Raspberry or Arduino. Easiest and cheapest way, if you don’t want cloud and ads.

Another kind of “code” but:

The poll in a excel sheet the office sent via email. You had to fill it out and send it back, so they could type it off in another excel sheet.

That’s where i realized that people have fundamentally different approaches in thinking and problem-solving.

Usenet is still in use btw. And so is Nostr.
