    Here is my high step count from the end of last year.

    There is a bug somewhere that goes nuts on time zone change. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/290112

    It is more about maintaining my weight, and while it might not burn as many calories as running or other activities, it is better than no activities. I am pretty close to balanced in intake calories and calories burned and I have lost a lot of weight (around 85 lbs) over many years and want to keep it off, the step count is my way of keeping it that way.

    While my numbers may not be as high, the same reasoning. I have found over time that if I don't keep an average step count at a level I start gaining weight. Not doing any exercise at all, typically a Sunday, I only get in about 1.5k-2k steps unless Sunday happens to be the day I mow the lawn and then Saturday goes into that range.

    Exercise tracking for me, I have a step goal set and usually get there or beyond 5-6 days a week.

    Why would I need a map of my house (my commute for work is about 30 feet if I take the long way) and to the mailbox (500 steps round trip)?

    From what I have read in the news, I am going to guess it did come from the US, most likely from someone inside and loyal to a certain party that is not the current presidents.

    That is the source, as to the why.

    Wag the Dog Wikipedia
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wag_the_Dog#%22Wag_the_dog%22_term_and_usage

    >The political phrase wag the dog is used to indicate that attention is purposely being diverted from something of greater importance to something of lesser importance. The idiom stems from the 1870s. In a local newspaper, The Daily Republican: "Calling to mind Lord Dundreary's conundrum, the Baltimore American thinks that for the Cincinnati Convention to control the Democratic party would be the 'tail wagging the dog'."[30]
    >
    >The phrase, then and now, indicates a backwards situation in which a small and seemingly unimportant entity (the tail) controls a bigger, more important one (the dog). It was again used in the 1960s. The film became a "reality" the year after it was released, due to the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal. Days after the scandal broke, President Bill Clinton ordered missile strikes against two countries, Afghanistan and Sudan.[31] During his impeachment proceedings, Clinton also bombed Iraq, drawing further "wag the dog" accusations[32] and with the scandal still on the public's mind in March 1999, his administration launched a bombing campaign against Yugoslavia.[33]

      Wag the Dog
      Wag the Dog is a 1997 American political satire black comedy film produced and directed by Barry Levinson and starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro. The film centers on a spin doctor and a Hollywood producer who fabricate a war in Albania to distract voters from a presidential sex scandal. The screenplay by Hilary Henkin and David Mamet was loosely adapted from Larry Beinhart's 1993 novel, American Hero. Wag the Dog was released one month before the outbreak of the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal and the subsequent bombing of the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory in Sudan by the Clinton administration in August 1998, which prompted the media to draw comparisons between the film and reality. The comparison was also made in December 1998 when the administration initiated a bombing campaign of Iraq during Clinton's impeachment trial over the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal. It was made again in the spring of 1999 when the administration intervened in the Kosovo War and initiated a bombing campaign against Yugoslavia, which coincidentally bordered Albania and contained ethnic Albanians. The film grossed $64.3 million on a $15 million...

    Wisconsin senate supermajority win gives Republicans impeachment power Wisconsin | The Guardian

    >Wisconsin Republicans won a supermajority in the state senate on Tuesday, giving them the necessary votes to impeach statewide officials, including the state’s Democratic governor and potentially state supreme court justices.
    >
    >Wisconsin Republicans now control 22 of the senate’s 33 seats after Dan Knodl, a Republican, narrowly defeated Democrat Jodi Habush Sinykin in a special election to represent a district that includes Milwaukee’s northern suburbs. Republicans also control 64 of the state assembly’s 99 districts. The Wisconsin constitution authorizes the state assembly to impeach “all civil officers of this state for corrupt conduct in office, or for crimes and misdemeanor” by a majority vote. A two-thirds majority is required in the senate for a conviction.

    OK.... maybe an actual number of users related to power usage would be helpful.

    I would almost be willing to bet there are more than 1000X users of the traditional banking system, probably more like 10kX-100kX or more users and on a per user basis the power usage is not that shocking.

    Like anything that is related to the number of user, be it a SocNet instance, the power demands grow with the user count.

    To me this is like comparing the power usage of FB/twitter/other big SocNet to the Fediverse.

      Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc.
      Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc., 464 U.S. 417 (1984), also known as the “Betamax case”, is a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States which ruled that the making of individual copies of complete television shows for purposes of time shifting does not constitute copyright infringement, but is fair use. The Court also ruled that the manufacturers of home video recording devices, such as Betamax or other VCRs (referred to as VTRs in the case), cannot be liable for contributory infringement. The case was a boon to the home video market, as it created a legal safe haven for the technology.The broader legal consequence of the Supreme Court's decision was its establishment of a general test for determining whether a device with copying or recording capabilities ran afoul of copyright law. This test has created some interpretative challenges to courts in applying the case to more recent file sharing technologies available for use on home computers and over the Internet. Background In the 1970s, Sony developed the Betamax video tape recording format. Universal Studios and the Walt Disney...

      A&M Records, Inc. v. Napster, Inc., 239 F.3d 1004 (9th. Cir., 2001) was a landmark intellectual property case in which the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the a district court ruling that the defendant, peer-to-peer file sharing service Napster, could be held liable for contributory infringement and vicarious infringement of copyright. This was the first major case to address the application of copyright laws to peer-to-peer file sharing.While A&M Records served as the lead plaintiff, Napster was sued by 18 different record companies, all of which were members of the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Additionally, songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller were included on the Circuit Court appeal, representing the interests of "all others similarly situated." Background Napster was started in 1999 by 18 year-old Shawn Fanning. Napster provided a platform for users to download compressed digital music files, specifically MP3s, from other users' music libraries. Unlike many peer-to-peer services, however, Napster included a central server that indexed connected...

      MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd., 545 U.S. 913 (2005), is a United States Supreme Court decision in which the Court ruled unanimously that the defendants, peer-to-peer file sharing companies Grokster and Streamcast (maker of Morpheus), could be held liable for inducing copyright infringement by users of their file sharing software. The plaintiffs were a consortium of 28 entertainment companies, led by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios. Background Entertainment industry lawsuits against new technologies that enable the copying of copyrighted content date back to the 1980s, when the movie industry sought court injunctions against the sale and use of VCRs. In Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a technology manufacturer cannot be held liable for its users' copyright infringement if widespread unauthorized copying is unlikely, and if the technology enables significant non-infringing uses as well.The advent of file sharing via the Internet in the late 1990s, and its enabling of easy and more widespread copying of copyrighted materials, inspired new arguments from the entertainment...

    This is the reason that for many years (decades?) I have always added a D drive partition for all the file storage and remapped the documents/pictures/videos/etc to the D drive, even on a new, preloaded computer I would shrink the C drive and add a D drive partition for the files. It saved my backside many times both personally and professionally unless the entire drive goes boots up.

    As long as the partition is readable it can usually be accesses with a Linux live/rescue disk to make a last minute backup.
