10 out of 10, flawless, no notes. I am going to steal that.

I really tried to do a start-to-finish rewatch of Voyager last year. I'm an old-school trekkie, I watched TNG and DS9 and about the first half of Voyager on their original broadcast runs. But fucking hell, I just could not tolerate Neelix.

I've cautiously optimistic about Avi Lewis. Just having a party leader who's extremely vocal on the genocide in Gaza is very refreshing.

It's a bold strategy, as the kids would say, to openly talk class warfare in this country. If handled wrong he could alienate a lot of libs. But if he can pull it off, he could draw in a lot of left and left-ish Liberal voters who are unimpressed with a blue grit like Carney.

a jet can only fire forward, the drone was so slow that if that f15 tried going slower it will fall

Wonderful to see it successfully put the crew vehicle into orbit. I have beef with the choice of rocket for the Artemis program, but it's always nice to see human space exploration advanced a bit more.

NASA's Artemis II crewed lunar fly-by mission is currently on track to launch at roughly 22:24 UTC, about 90 minutes from the time of this posting. Everyday Astronaut is livestreaming. He's good at explaining spaceflight ideas to people new to it all.

The first time in history that an article title with "Iran" and "weeks away" in it has been accurate.

The precision is impressive. And if I were on the US joint chiefs, deeply worrying.

I'd bet good money that one of Iran's big postwar R&D priorities will be their new Zuljanah orbital rocket. It's their first rocket that could put a small-by-NRO-standards but still-useful surveillance satellite into orbit, further reducing their dependence on allies for intelligence. Their older Simorgh orbital rocket is technically more capable but has had a pretty bad reliability record. Zuljanah hasn't yet put anything into orbit yet, it's in early R&D.

The funny thing is it was similar in Canada, with the cancellation of the NHL season at about the same time.

Google Maps no longer shows user reviews of locations if you're not logged in. It just shows the star rating. Probably for the same reason that Google Maps is not on its own domain, but the main google.com one: user tracking using google.com cookies.

@Fritange France is taking state actions against GrapheneOS. They're conflating us with companies which they've previously gone after and taken over their servers. We aren't vulnerable to being attacked in the same way but we still don't want accesses to our website/network services being logged or our website being hijacked. France isn't a safe country for GrapheneOS to operate in anymore and we're going to be protecting the project and our users by avoiding the country completely now.

"This rocket that was involved in the incident on the launch pad this week..."

"The one where the front fell off?"

"Yeah."

"Yeah, that's not very typical, I'd like to make that point."

 

Sometimes a BOTW isn't terribly compelling.

This is not one of those times. This is one of the ones that will be remembered.

 

I've been digging up some of my own old programming projects, polishing them for the public releases I'd always intended. The first is Notable, a pastebin server clone. It's under the AGPLv3. It has a few design principles in mind:

  • Must work over Tor unmodified, no javascript, light page loads, fits within the standard window size.
  • Must be as easy as possible to run. No outside database needed, it uses sqlite3.
  • Control over if notes expire, and custom time limits.
  • Notes can be updated or delete with the randomized per-note password given when creating a note.
  • Understands Markdown.
  • Written to be portable. If Go and CGo compile to your server's OS, Notable will work.

The README has further details.

 

Now I'm not talking about smuggling anything illegal, I aim to keep my activities on this side of the border strictly legal. Not out of love for cops but as a defence against them harassing me. I'm thinking about things like "helping" Americans pay only $2000 for an iphone instead of $3000, that sort of thing. Any pointers, tips, ideas?
