Would anyone be interested in a blog post / video going over how to create an ssh honeypot on Linode, but all done from an iPad? Great fun to collect Linux malware.

There are a number of websites on the net that allow us to explore the tree of life and the interconnections between species.
While the Evogeneao site is not the most detailed or comprehensive, it is kind of cool how it describes us all as cousins.

Lets not underestimate him. He is a threat and probably will be until the point he dies and is six foot underground.

We are sensible here and try and see posts, see context then make judgements. Unlike those who control Twitter moderation, it would be funny if it wasn't for the fact that Nazis etc are welcome on twitter (or it seems that way)

It is Safer internet day on the 7th Feb, I am just in touch with the people who run this now to suggest they join fedi.

I will mention the irony of promoting e safety on a social media site where the owner has allowed nazis and holocaust deniers (hence twitter getting sued) free reign while banning journalists and people for just posting links to Mastodon.

Is It Forensics or Is It Junk Science?
--
The public’s growing awareness of forensic techniques obscures a far more complex field that’s chock full of bogus science — and the people who champion it, often for profit.
For years, ProPublica has reported on these dubious techniques as they’ve wormed their way into every corner of our real-life criminal justice system.
So, what’s legitimate forensic science and what’s junk?

Indeed, it just seems worse in the US some states probably have a good education others less so.
You need a good 20 years of solid consistent good education, the odd tweak to keep up with things (e.g adding in computing to the curriculum) but colleges / employers need to know where they stand.
The Taliban have so far, but perhaps the idea is to slowly regain their iron grip. They rule through fear, so public executions were common place in the 90s as a way to 'set an example' to others.

Folks who vote for Republicans don't think harm will come back onto themselves.
In Florida, firearm deaths went up 18.8% from 2015 to 2020 - the 32nd largest increase among states, per the CDC.
And states that have weakened their firearm permitting system have experienced a 13-15 percent increase in violent crime rates. - https://www.everytown.org/solutions/strong-standards-for-carrying-concealed-guns-in-public/
As for Republicans, they’re not pro-life.
Nor fiscally conservative.
Nor small government. (Control freaks.)
Nor concerned about their constituents.
Everything centers on making people die faster and in worse ways.
Florida leaders push to allow concealed guns without permits, training-

I think there are clearly numerous ideas, all of which have merit as our climate, even in 2023, can display all sorts of weird and wonderful phenomenon which to these civilisations would be difficult to understand.
Again why I like it here, we can discuss, throw ideas around and ask questions in a civilised manner. How social networking should be.

American kids deserve so much better, I would guess the issue is, the size of the country and who controls the curriculum, what is taught at school. Schools are accountable to government. Surely US schools are at state level at least, what about employers surely they demand high standards of people leaving so those students have the skills needed, surely colleges also demand high standards.

My question: why are we expected suddenly to educate Americans about this basic presuppostion of all scientific research only as a pandemic breaks out?
How is it that American schools are not inculcating this kind of critical thinking and awareness of what science is all about, throughout students' educational process?
How can so many Americans be so lamentably uneducated?
