Alright, I just added some honey to the chili and I feel like I committed some kind of crime. It is excellent though, because it balanced out some of the spices and bitterness of the beer.

Kept watching this YouTube ad Operation Aurora | Hacking Google. It started off like an historic documentary about hacking and then proceeded to describe a major hacking event that affected Google in 2009. It was interesting, and of course it painted Google as the innovative hero at the end. They put human faces on Google and championed clever teamwork, but you shouldn't forget that these clever teams are building some of the most invasive and potentially freedom destroying tools in history.

These look useful!

Training and discipline are what a body needs.

As @mary and the pups were rolling around(playing) on the living room floor, it hit me that those two haven’t been apart a day since conception over five years ago.🐾

We’re having a chili cook-off at church this weekend and I think I’m going to enter an all veg recipe this time. Should prove a bit more challenging.

Sous vide on the cheap! Cooler, trough heater, thermostat. I need to do this again soon, but with solar panels.

So I have been using pass, the standard Unix password manager, together with PassFF and it is a working solution so far. I like that it is a simple program, and that it was easy to setup, but I wish it was even easier for normies. Qtpass works well for my wife because it has an easy password/username/url template.

@atyh I think you hit the nail on the head. People able to write good software are a very small percentage of the population. It would be pretty trivial to hunt most of them down and deduce who wrote what, even if it's by shadow profiles. Thankfully there are pretty massive collections already written. My gut tells me that they got to Linus a few years ago, but I'm afraid that we may already be undermined on the hardware side. What are your thoughts on prep? Everyone fend for themselves?

@atyh My friends, who are missionaries, had a very vibrant church community in Russia, but they recently had to relocate to Kazakhstan. Things must have been really bad for them to do that.

The Greatest Beer Run Ever was pretty good!

“He will judge between the nations,
and will decide concerning many peoples.
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.”
-Isaiah 2:4

@parker @p @atyh It really does depend on what kind of users you have. Are you friends already, how active are they, how much uploading do they do? My VPS+domain costs around $300 annually. I use the VPS for other things too, but that's only about $1/month for a couple dozen people and that is a pretty fair price to me for not having ads or being the product.

These folks made several great documentaries together that just got better and better. I think about them often and they should be added to school curricula IMHO.

I'm not a big fan of multi-factor-authentication because it is a tool being used for the de-anonymization of the internet. I don't know of any way to push back and I can't even find a list of companies that require a mobile number.
