It feels like sometimes we fail to comnunicate that while climate models are extremely rigorous and meticulously put together, there’s always the possibility of unknown factors.

I appreciate scientists aversion to alarmism, and the difficulty of balancing effective communication on the topic. But if we’re honest our species has been dicking around with the most complex system we know of. Even if we start doing everything right there are certainly any number of surprises lurking that we will need to deal with. And to some degree guessing at the scope of the unknown is impossible.

Can someone tell me I’m wrong and somehow we know where all the environmental landmines are? Cause I want to believe that the “this much inventment and change equals this much less warming” can be relied upon, but I worry it’s tempering the apparent scale of the crisis.

better security reason hehe.

My local government had funds offered by a federal grant they didn’t apply for. A neighboring county had applied for the federal grant, received a ton of money, and was dishing it out to police across the region.

While stargazing a few weeks ago I was surprised how many sneaky starlinks popped up, but also how much their brightness varied. Some were so apparently dim I questioned if I was actually seeing them or imagining streaks similar to the others I’d seen.

I was out there long enough they all seemed to go away. Was kinda fun to realize the sun was far enough under the horizon they couldn’t reflect sunlight to me.

But yeah, fuck polluting space just because nobody’s there to stop you.

core memory unlocked

I’d completely forgotten about this show. Definitely was a childhood staple.

Superman was a really fun movie, but it felt pretty obvious it’s gonna be mostly downhill from here. But I’m totally fine with that, I don’t want another franchise that tries to make me constantly watch just so I can keep up. Maybe they’ll hit on another winner, but I’m not holding my breath. And in this case I’d definitely say the actress was robbed. The story, pacing, and general feel of the movie were where it fell flat for me.

Looks like GrapheneOS remains clearly “installed” but requires you to use recovery to factory reset before it can boot.

They didn’t exactly ban AI code, they banned AI slop projects that were eating resources senselessly.

Yeah I’m actually hoping they aren’t prosecuted. Cybercrime sentences are insane and this is clearly a case where someone needs help, not prison.

Man he’s still actively crashing out and referred to his other account in 3rd person a few hours ago.

How you liking the time 2?

Look forward to following this but unfortunately I doubt the outcome will introduce any new precedent around duress passwords. There’s enough nuance here the guy might beat the charges. But in a straight case of being required by a judge to provide your password, giving a duress password would almost certainly be destruction of evidence.

Wet the brush, add toothpaste, rotate toothbrush so paste is on side, put only bottom of bristles in water stream, brush.

Security on android ereaders is definitely disappointing. My Boox palma 2 only supports pins, not passwords. And unfortunately I don’t think a pure eink would work for me. The xteink has me curious if you could make firmware to “leech” off grapheneOS’ security by doing something like an SMB share to avoid having potentially pirated books unencrypted.

What I’d personally love to see is an X4 sized device with NFC, wireless charging, and Lora for meshtastic.

Worth noting that when we hit these temperatures the humidity is usually 5% so we may have a record headline but I’ll honestly take this over hot and humid any day.

We still need to fill edge cases. Hiking is really big where I live but you can’t take public transit to more than one or two trailheads, and certainly not some of the more remote ones.

I desperately want a nonprofit carshare in my area to fill the gap for this as well as occasional things like moving lots of stuff. Without a cost effective way to get a car when you really need one, people will own a car for edge cases. And when you have a car sitting there… you’ll drive it even when you don’t need to.

You find them regularly?

Part of a comment I left the other day:

https://veilid.com/

They’ve described it as “TOR mixed with IPFS without the crypto.” Uses a DHT similar to torrents with built in secure routing reminiscent of TOR. Importantly, it’s not a VPN, but designed to be built into the applications themselves. All apps powered by Veilid also contribute to the network and can be assigned any role in “the onion.” The most important pitch is that by being built into apps it can bring very strong privacy and security to the layperson, though app developers still need to address things like ensuring users retain access to data without email recovery etc.
