@urrtag I feel like “good content” is very subjective. We as different groups of people accept what is moral and what is not for us: some societies think it’s ok to smoke marijuana, some don’t, some cultures forbid alcohol, etc. When you have a brainwashed society through different manipulations, then good content for you might not be considered such by them, etc.

Another good article from John Harris. Choose your surveillance master - or are they the same?

Amazing to read this (the keynote from SXSW a couple of weeks ago) and not know who T. Bone Burnett is until now.

I knew almost all of this, but it is worth reading all the same to see it all in one place. I agree with him on everything too (although he misunderstands GDPR - who doesn’t! It is about P for Protection, not P for Privacy. The latter is still being worked on: the ePrivacy Regulation).

Network address space

yeah, please stop calling it “XOR space”, binary XOR is just the function that is used to calculate the distance between two network addresses.

The Ark may or may not be useful in itself, but I think it could be a seed for something that will be.

Good Find there

That is rather like the C.H.I.P.'s game style complete computer except it had a full keyboard and case. It was like 69$ US and did not need the microSD.

I used it to run a vault in one of the testnets when we could run vaults.

Oh and it was open source too.

Rust used for Eve online. Never played that game (I think it needs a lot of time), but I like the stories about it, e.g. here and there.

Aka. “XOR distance”.
