    Yeah, no thanks. I'm old enough to have hosted my own email in the 1990s and I would not want my phone emailing me. Your "easy to find" assumes the email is very searchable and that you'd think to look in an unrelated system for messages.

    While I find rsync useful, I am not that enamored with it. For many purposes I prefer just:

    tar cf dir-list | gzip -2 | ssh somewhere "cd foo && tar xzf -"

    Sometimes I'll use cpio or pax instead of tar. Backing up my phone is one of the few cases for which I use rsync regularly.

    So you know that guy who slept through the container ship running aground next to his house? You'll never guess who else slept through it. Unless you guessed the one guy on the bridge to steer the vessel.

    Does anyone recognize this device and can tell me what it is? I noticed it because of the blue light. My next door neighbor has mounted it on a fence about 20cm away from the property line (in his back yard). It is about the size of a can of Pam cooking oil spray and is wired with just an Ethernet cable. One close up shot and one how it looks standing by some stairs in my yard. My concern is that it is or has some sort of microphone.

    I remember when JPEG was a new thing and people decompressing their GIF files to recompress as JPEG despite the two having very different lossiness patterns.

    People are weird about image compression. Codinghorror has several posts about improving image compression but HTML and javascript size optimization is largely ignored. "What if Discourse didn't send two copies of every post on forum page loads? Nah, too complicated."

      Zopfli Optimization: Literally Free Bandwidth
      In 2007 I wrote about using PNGout to produce amazingly small PNG images [https://blog.codinghorror.com/getting-the-most-out-of-png/]. I still refer to this topic frequently, as seven years later, the average PNG I encounter on the Internet is very unlikely to be optimized. For example, consider this recent Perry Bible

    My interpretation has always been they want both the workers and the easy deportation because that threat makes the workers more vulnerable and easier to abuse.

    Quirky one I would have never thought of had I not encountered it: can the electricity stay on while you are out of the room? So you can charge things, eg.

    Place I stayed at this year had the key card act as a switch for the power. You came in, put the key card in the slot, and you could turn things (including lights) on. Remove the card, it all shuts down.

    Perhaps needless to say, there was no in-room fridge.

    I have a 2600 magazine shirt that has the back filled with reproduced press clippings about "advanced persistent teenagers" from well before that phrase was coined.

    Nothing new here but opportunities.

    It's like Twitter was a giant spearphishing campaign and then it totally hooked the one guy with the pocket change to buy the company and mainline that bait.

    My system had this card in the 80s. It was definitely one of the lesser used accessories. Three floppy drives? Used all the time. Two printers? Yup, dot matrix one used for draft and the Brother daisy wheel with rs232 controlled used for higher quality output. Speech synthesizer used for games and gimmicks. Extra RAM used as extra RAM always is.

    Tape drive used rarely. P-Code card used hardly ever.
