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.

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

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.

Tomb encryption looks a bit interesting. Nothing really new under the hood, but I appreciate the attempt at streamlining and polishing. I always need a cheat sheet to remember the LUKS dance.

Linux only though.

While I was walking around in the woods this past week I thought about how peaceful and old everything seemed. The thing is, the trees and the landscape were not that old. I don't think I saw a tree over 150 and most were less than 100. The canopy was 80-100' in most places. The trees used to be old and huge averaging 5' diameters. Food literally used to fall from the sky because 25% of them were chestnut. Then, in a generation or so, they were gone and few even know if their existence.
