Hetzner closing Unredacted.org's account and servers. https://mastodon.social/@unredacted_org/113227836466722212

I will say that I'm glad the hoster gave them a month to find a replacement and get moved. Too many times they just close the account entirely.

Here's yet another example of why FOSS projects should not allow their GitHub presence be their only presence. Host the repo elsewhere and mirror to GH or host on GH and mirror elsewhere, just make sure people always know where the offsite repo is.

@sun There'd probably need to be sign new 'nsec' with old nsec and propagate the event using both 'npub' keys before the revocation.

As you say, nostr identities should be low stakes, but it seems like people invest a lot into a single ID without preparing for possible need to switch quickly.

@sun @meso@theasbestos.cafe

There was some research (I think the leader was something like "Grafenburg", hence the "G" in the name) that said this pleasure spot existed. Other researchers have struggled to replicate the findings reliably. And that's why it is rumored.

There was a whole book about it at the time.

I don't tend to watch a lot of kurgesagt videos. But this one was requested by my grandson, so I watched it to see whether it was something he should see.

(Answer: no. Not at five years old. Even as advanced as he seems to be, he isn't likely to understand this one.)

Also, why haven't I heard of "the white death" before now? I've heard of tuberculosis, even knew someone whose dad was infected and on lifelong quarantine. But I never heard it called that name before.

I'd still rather use PHP than Node.js ... a fork of an obsolete version of a browser JavaScript engine. When the browser gets a security update every ten days and your server's forked JS engine goes for months between updates, you KNOW there are dozens of zero-days waiting for discovery.

By the way, Morph, I didn't mean to call you out when I was discussing that drama. It was just that I saw the other thread because you commented. Like you, I try to avoid drama whenever I can.

@inscius Yes, this is a GS server. Now that I'm not hosting my own, I need to figure out how to send the admin a little funding to help with the costs of operating.the server.

In recent weeks, progress in the two #Coursera programs ( #Google #CyberSecurity and #IBM #Backend_Development ) and the #Udemy program ( #MySQL & #PostgreSQL database + #D-Lang + #PHP ) has completely stopped.

There's also a mild to moderate cold that is being passed around the family here. We suspect that Grandson_3 brought it home from school. He's been coughing and sneezing off and on for about three weeks. Grandson_4 has been exceptionally clingy and whiny, though he has only sneezed / coughed occasionally. Grandson_5's nose has been running about the same length of time, with occasional coughing or sneezing. And I'm going through my third wave of it.

So I think that's also part of what's going on educationally.

The thing is, I need to finish these programs. In the case of DataCamp, bthall paid for a year's subscription. I want to complete as much as I can before the year ends (late December / early January). The Coursera programs are being funded by New York State;s Unemployment Insurance program, even though my benefits timed out almost a year ago. I have no assurance that they'll leave the funding open forever.

I still have one very low-spec mini-laptop that would probably fit the "netbook" label.

It's pretty much useless for normal purposes. When I bought it, the first thing I had to do was delete enough bloatware so that I could run Windows Update. Ever since then, after each update, there's a process of cleaning out unneeded Win10 update files, unneeded Microsoft Defender files, etc; followed by another reboot.

Only then is it minimally usable. About the only use I foresee is using it to ssh into "turtle" and "tortoise" (the two ancient servers in my room), but they are temporarily out of commission while I wait to flatten them and install a new OS.

Ever since my mom's death, I've been a little frazzled. In the #DataCamp program, I did a 22-hour "R Programming Fundamentals" track. At the end of it is an optional skill assessment.

I drew a complete blank in 4 of the first 5 questions, so I didn't even finish it. #r-lang

While I return to the Python tracks, I'll try to do some more R stuff on the side. Now that I'm sure I absolutely will not get the approximately 200 hours of #Python related coursework done before the end of December, so I will have to pick and choose which subsets to complete.

Late in the 4th Quarter, Wisconsin Badgers 21, USC Trojans 38. Looks like Troy has really dominated the second half, scoring 28 points to Wisconsin's 0.

Wisconsin isn't scoring 17 points in 2 minutes, so I think we have our winner.
