Over late October and early November, military cargo flights in and out of Kaliningrad were at an uncharacteristic high. Bellingcat went to investigate what these flights could be moving using SAR imagery… bellingcat.com/news/2023/11/13

Back in August I wrote a program for a particular platform, installed, tested and put it into service, and it's been running reliably ever since. All well and good.

The really messed up part? I decided to make a change to it and discovered that, a mere 3 months later, I could not remember where I wrote it, how I prototyped, installed and tested it, nor where the source code is, or even very much about wht the code consisted of. It took me about an hour to track it down and recreate from evidence what I actually did and how I did it. Three. Months.

I'm bloody sunsetting, I am.

Known as the “Executed Renaissance” in #Ukraine,

For decades, the Soviet Union concealed this crime, only revealing the truth in 1997

I genuinely have no idea why people just accept the idea that Israel needs military aid to respond to the Hamas attacks. Is there any evidence whatsoever that 's problem is a consequence of, or in any way constraind by inadequate military capability and funding?

I've given up and unfollowed all the common hashtags like (leaving out the # symbol) Ukraine, EU, Brexit....

Following them simply fills your timeline with hashtag-packers and the signal:noise ratio is terrible. Best to stick to following individual accounts.

There is a real Catch-22 at work in the tech media rhetoric I’m seeing around ‘incumbent’ responses to new AI regulation: If you are an incumbent that resists new regulation, you’re arrogantly setting yourself above sovereigns. If you are an incumbent who accepts new regulation, you’re trying to entrench your power and block new entrants.

29 October.
The Internet's Birthday: first computer-to-computer link established on ARPANET, 1969; it remains a useless curiosity until Dawkins coins 'meme' in 1976, making cat memes possible. By 2000 search engine optimisers outnumber telephone santisers; 'B' Ark redesign efforts ensue.

Does this book exist?

"How Universities Lost the Internet"

or has someone done research on this topic? That is, the fact that on many North American universities have ceded all technical capacity to Microsoft, Google, etc?

It used to be students could get web hosting, email, and even some cool experimental online stuff through their schools. Now every online communication channel is locked down.

Robert Card, an Army reservist with a history of mental health issues, is suspected of killing at least 18 people at multiple locations in Maine on Wednesday.

Hours before the rampage, the Senate voted 53-45 to adopt an amendment making it easier for veterans with mental disabilities to get guns. rollingstone.com/politics/poli

Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%.

George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%.

These numbers tell the whole story.
