In the end this made news about how the surveillance economy works and should further freak people out about it. This helps long term I think.

I have a club card account with a fake name on it. While they may track the purchase I make and know that a single person made them all, it's not attached to anything that is linked to me. My understanding is that they can't link credit card numbers to purchases, they can only use the number to run the transaction.

It's not great they track purchasing, but if it's not linked to me I don't really care that much.

Unfortunately AI will get better and better at circumventing your security by obfuscation. The best use of AI is surveillance.

I recently visited Seoul for the first time and learned about it while there. I only had time to briefly explore the first floor of building 21, unfortunately.

Recently visited Seoul, Korea, and took the subway to Yongsan station and walked over to what is left of the Yongsan Electronics Market (building 21).

1) It still exists. Cool. 2) What's left: Nobody taking their boxes of cables away!

The cross build tooling, specifically around build.sh, makes the process of building a kernel + userland straight forward.

Use your best build hardware to build for your test hardware.

What I've found beautiful about -J is the host you jump through requires no privileges on the final host. Only my laptop has the SSH key to access my home server, not my cheap VPS.

And this allows me to have zero open ports on my home internet. I do a reverse tunnel to my VPS from my home server (in a FreeBSD jail), and that port is what my laptop client jumps through.

Living in the PNW it's good to have an interest in types of clouds and weather generally. Helps keep ones sanity during the rainy season.

But you can just use any cloud blob storage provider (including the big ones) along with the rclone utility. rclone supports many.

I even use rclone to sync photos to OneDrive I can then share with family/friends.

I have 2 listed: HP-35 and HP-41CX.

Still use an HP-11c.

Will die on that hill defending RPN!

Runs well on my Lenovo T-490. I use this as my main non-Windows laptop.

My 2016 Golf GTI also lost its 3G modem service in the US. Perfect.
