It’s probably something easier to set up, like a couple of fuses in the package that, when a signal is applied to a particular set of pins, will blow and disable the chip.

Is Lisa still running site security?

If they could get away with it.

I’m in a similar situation these days. Things are too crazy these days for that kind of risk.

Historically, playing by Chicago Rules when reacting has done pretty well. It’s certainly worked pretty well for me.

Edit: Excuse me, he’s in California Health Care Facility, which is a state prison which is geared toward patients with long-term medical needs (acute chronic diseases, debilitating injuries) and acute mental health needs (which Reiser definitely fits the profile of). He was transferred out of San Quentin some years ago.

The prisons he was in previously definitely are not the touchy-feely kind. These days he’s in California Health Care Facility, which is geared toward prisoners with significant mental health problems (notably, multiple serial killers). So, therapy of some kind definitely makes sense. However, Reiser’s been denied parole each and every time he’s been up for it (next review in 2025), so it is unlikely that he’s getting out.

And I agree with you.

It’s a Google hosted service, which is arguably worse because they may as well be a nation-state unto themselves.

I do not think so, no. However, Amazon is certainly big enough to be un-humorously compared to nation-states as well.

Doable, but a huge pain in the ass because of conflicts in the protocol. I spent about a year trying to suss them out and come up with a fix but never figured it out.

What is the most appropriate way of tracking web traffic?

I have my personal blog, made with Hugo and hosted on GitHub pages. Initially I did not turn on any kind of web tracking / web analytics, because I do not like tracking at all. But I want to make my blog better and to achieve it, I need a feedback loop about traffic. For example, what are the most popular publications, or how...

The folks who’re recommending analysis of your site’s access logs are correct. However, Github Pages doesn’t have any such notion. You might have to go with the recommendations of moving stuff over to a VPS.

Ask Amazon why they picked a name that was the same as a small publishing company that had been around for years and sued them into a smoking crater in the ground.

Isn’t this just a personal website with a links page?

Gender bias in open source: Pull request acceptance of women versus men (www.researchgate.net)

Our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's [when their gender is hidden]. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless.

It’s worth trying.

“Illegal state subsidies?” From whom?

They do this periodically. We saw it during Occupy, the Arab Spring, BLM, now Palestine (again). As a general rule, when folks go into the streets, the tighty righties start up the FUD.

There is a reason why spooks learn tradecraft - threat modeling, procedures, awareness, and techniques - more than they learn technology. It would behoove folks to to learn a little about that before hitting up the appstore.

The fairest thing you can say about CrossFit is that it’s a nicely unique string to filter out. :)

Anybody have a VPN link into HK? It’d be easy to find out.

Somebody seems to think so.

I can’t shake the feeling that we’re in the middle of a passive-aggressive depopulation operation.

That’s a really good question, the article doesn’t go into specifics.

Then the body’s own repair systems recognize the damaged DNA as foreign and get rid of it.

This is somewhat ambiguous. It could mean that human DNA polymerases see the damaged DNA, scroll backwards and forwards to the START and STOP codons, and break the bonds to snip out the bits of viral DNA. Then endogenous DNA ligases patch the ends together. It could mean that it affects DNA in the viral particles themselves (but from the context in the article I don’t think this is the case). Or it could be the case that the process triggers apoptosis to eliminate the infected cells entirely; I don’t think this is the case because then you have necrotic tissue all over the place, and given that we’re talking about herpes viruses this means fragile skin in tender places… ouch. That’s kind of like using thermite to roast a marshmallow: Fun but overkill and potentially hazardous.
