Wow. Did people really buy this? http://status.hackerposse.com/url/22251 Let me get this straight. They created a $150 (with one year subscription, $250 with thee years, $400 with five years, and $900 with "lifetime" subscription) "cybersecurity" device that goes onto your network and monitors all traffic, then initiates a denial of service attack against suspected attacker de…

There used to be a guy that played the drums in his truck at a Walmart in Jefferson City, MO in the evenings. I doubt that this is him, but it is pretty similar. http://status.hackerposse.com/url/22249 It was once possible to find stories and YouTube videos of him with search engines by searching "walmart drummer" (with the quotes), but these days, half the links are about a b…

Like the person here, he didn't seem to be good at it, and I was never sure whether this was his way of "busking".

http://status.hackerposse.com/url/22247 [ecnmst gitlab io] Someone created a simulation to help visualize / understand housing segregation. They showed (again) that even in the absence of structural issues and intentional intervention by nefarious groups, segregation can still arise (and most likely WILL arise) if people have a preference to live in neighborhoods with a certai…

Meanwhile, @bthall sent a link to a $200 #DIY #VR headset: https://www.relativty.com/
Looks interesting, but I don't even play games enough to be worth the time and effort of building this.

Today is overcast and still staying cooler than it has been. Currently 82F / 28C, with an expected peak of 90F / 32C. There could be a few small traces of smoke left, but I think this is mostly real clouds. No smoky smell, nearby hills visible (I haven't looked toward the mountains a little further off). In #NorCal, Butte County (where the town of Paradise was destroyed by fir…

Right shoulder feeling better. For the first time in at least a month, I stretched to reach something with that arm without pain.
Still no idea how it happened, either.
(Just wait. This is what your future looks like if you're not here already.)

Weather has cooled off significantly in North Texas. It is glorious. Yesterday, I ran a 5K near SMU for the first time since February. Did it with mask on. No big. Today, I ran 4.2 miles and managed <10 minute miles and one <9 minute mile.

I think the #VPN issues are largely resolved. Now, do I want to deal with the $EMPLOYER laptop this evening?

@mangeurdenuage @geniusmusing Early on, the researchers said it seemed to die around 140F / 60C. Further research may have found something different. I have not been keeping up as much recently. 140F is pretty standard ( the "danger zone" that they taught us about in food handler's classes is 40F / 4C to 140F / 60C ) ... and the current US recommendation is that foods should be…

> Should the virus survive into the intestine, there is no pathway that will carry it to the lungs.
This was in May. Now we know that the intestines can also be involved in #COVID-19 infections ... there have been several links posted about virus detection in sewage samples, for example.

JS-based webapps are a lot like adding salt to one's food. There's a point where you're simulating food with colored salt. No matter how appealing it looks, it is still nasty and harmful.

> The root of the problem is copyright ... I think the root of the problem is that musicians, artists, photographers, actors, writers, and so on BELIEVE that copyright is what keeps them from going hungry, and that they are therefore willing to submit to the control of the media mega-corporations. In exchange, a few of them get shockingly high amounts of money, but the overwhe…
-
I also think that copyrights last much longer than they should. Their purpose should be to motivate creators to produce things that will eventually end up in the public domain. Do we really need life span plus 70 years to do that? What about “work for hire”? Does creating for a corporation’s benefit motivate people to create more than they would if they had some particul…

♲ @: New York Times Runs Very Belated Obituary of Charlotta Bass, Progressive Party Vice-Presidential Nominee in 1952On September 7, the New York Times ran an obituary http://status.hackerposse.com/url/22231 for Charlotta Bass, who was the Progressive Party’s vice-presidential nominee in 1952, and the first African-American woman to be on the ballot …

not clear from "The New York Times has recently been running belated obituaries for people who did not get a Times obituary when they died, but the newspaper now believes that they should have had such obituaries." that obituaries are limited to race.
-
@musicman You’re right. While I’m sure that race and sex were major factors in their decision in that particular case (and many others since the 1800s), they do not specifically mention either factor in their belated obituary series description.
-
decided to take a look. An example: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/01/obituaries/karl-heinrich-ulrichs-overlooked.html
At the time, I had been thinking of someone like Louis Lingg.
-
As an example, #sonTwo went to an art school to study photography. They instilled it in his head that photographers would all starve if it wasn’t for copyrights.
I know there must be other, not dependent on copyright, ways for photographers to make a living with their cameras, but I can’t come up with something that would convince most photogs. I can’t even convince the 32 year old that grew up in my home.

Maybe #BING is a recursive acronym: BING Is No Good.
It’s been years since I touched Java, but someone should really be trying to improve #YaCy’s results. I’m still hoping to host a node on their FreeWorld search network again, but I cannot do so right now.

seems like it might be of interest to people here: https://matomo.org/

@musicman Years ago, I ran #Matomo (back then it was #Piwik) for the family’s business interests. I also briefly ran #OWA.
Over time, family members kept switching their sites to Google Analytics, and as utilization fell, I shut down the sites.
