Every time I try to repair our worn-out tent, it costs me a lot. I don’t know how long we will have to keep living like this. My children and I are exhausted from this tragedy. We are living in extreme cold, flooding, and constant hardship here.
I appealed to you some time ago to help with paying the rent for a room with basic facilities, we will remain here until we die in silence there is no other choice.

The media can't focus, that doesn't mean you shouldn't.

OK so I went to a bookshop in Penrith over Christmas and they were doing the blind date with a book thing and they promised me a sci-fi dystopia with my mystery book and THEN I IMMEDIATELY HAD TO BUY THE NEXT FIVE BOOKS IN THE SERIES BECAUSE AUCKLAND LIBRARY DOESN'T HAVE THEM AND THE BOOKS ARE REALLY GOOD BUT AT LEAST I DIDN'T HAVE TO WAIT LIKE 22 YEARS FOR THEM UNLIKE *SOME* SERIES LOOKING AT YOU WHEEL OF TIME WITH YOUR THREE YEARS BETWEEN EACH OF THE FIFTEEN BLOODY BOOKS BECAUSE THE FIRST ONE IS TEN YEARS OLD NOW SO THE REST ARE ALL OUT*

Oh and yeah, so anyway the bookshop really delivered. Red Rising by Pierce Brown, I somewhat recommend it.**

*Or so I assume, and if I get to the end of book 6 and it isn't the last one there will be murders I swear

**Because if you read the first one you will HAVE TO BUY FIVE MORE

In 1959, a cement mixer with a full load of cement, wrecked near Winganon, Oklahoma 🇺🇸

By the time a tow truck came to haul it away, all of cement had hardened inside of mixer. Tow truck was not able to remove all wreckage at same time because of weight, and decided to haul only cab/frame and would come back for detached mixer later, which never happened.

Today, 67 years later, it still sits where it fell. Locals have painted it and added "rocket thrusters" to make it look like a space capsule.

The weather forecast said that this morning will be sunny, but a deep low-pressure system will reach the Gaza Strip later in the day. We did the laundry today and hope it dries before the low-pressure system arrives.https://chuffed.org/project/161201-danya-a-20-year-old-sole-provider-for-7-people-excellent-student-who-cant-attend-university-4-siblings-out-of-school

#unplugTrump last year lead to dusting and upgrading my old NAS, lead to cancelling #streaming services, lead to buying blurays and CDs from flea markets, lead to setting up a home server, lead to installing @jellyfin, lead to switching the SAT receiver to an E2 Linux box, lead to recording TV programs, lead to my very first steps in @kdenlive this morning.

Here we are now. Owning stuff again.

I need a ring-style door camera that’s not sucky and also doesn’t rat me and my neighbors to the cops without my say so every time.

Remote storage is a must.

My tolerance for config futzing is 6 out of 10. (1 being do literally nothing beyond mounting and power, 5 being rig up some docker thing following mostly correct docs, 10 being build my own hardware and and write my own software.) (This scale feels logarithmic.)

Any suggestions, o wise and munificent privacy and security oracles?

GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) medications are used to help with weight loss by mimicking a hormone that regulates blood sugar and appetite, leading to reduced hunger and increased feelings of fullness. These drugs can result in significant weight loss, often between 15-20% of body weight, and are typically prescribed for individuals with obesity or type 2 diabetes.

🎬 Il figlio di Internet – Aaron Swartz (doc. in Italiano)

Genio dell’informatica e attivista, Aaron Swartz è diventato un simbolo di resistenza contro i monopolisti di @internet. Si è tolto la vita l'11 Gennaio 2013 schiacciato dalla minaccia di 35 anni di carcere per aver cercato di rendere liberi articoli accademici.

📺 Il documentario è pubblicato sulla piattaforma video libera @peertube sul mio canale @unavitasenzabigtech che aiuta a rendersi liberi dai Big Tech:

@StudioCohort @miguelectronico Good to know, will pass it on to the calendar team.

Here's the last of the snowy pics (until next time).

Il mondo brucia. Ora che sappiamo non esiste un diritto internazionale, abbiamo una possibilità di sopravvivere soltanto se ci autorganizziamo in basso. Alcuni hanno già cominciato. Il futuro dipende da noi. Nessuno ci salverà

@StudioCohort Thanks, will pass this on!

@joergba Danke, wir denken darüber nach.

I found out about this through another computer history book, which noted the “macho” programming culture that pervaded the elite and anachronistically all-male university.

But out of all this privilege emerges the most radically democratic computer language and system architecture of its times. I wondered why.

Kemeny doesn’t mention his philosophy directly, but it leaks through in asides. He was appalled by people deferring to computers, and the people who programmed them.
