What I've found beautiful about -J is the host you jump through requires no privileges on the final host. Only my laptop has the SSH key to access my home server, not my cheap VPS.

And this allows me to have zero open ports on my home internet. I do a reverse tunnel to my VPS from my home server (in a FreeBSD jail), and that port is what my laptop client jumps through.

Living in the PNW it's good to have an interest in types of clouds and weather generally. Helps keep ones sanity during the rainy season.

But you can just use any cloud blob storage provider (including the big ones) along with the rclone utility. rclone supports many.

I even use rclone to sync photos to OneDrive I can then share with family/friends.

I have 2 listed: HP-35 and HP-41CX.

Still use an HP-11c.

Will die on that hill defending RPN!

Runs well on my Lenovo T-490. I use this as my main non-Windows laptop.

My 2016 Golf GTI also lost its 3G modem service in the US. Perfect.

Bring back the HP-10c. RPN with "scientific calculator" label. Pure and simple, and approved for testing that forbids any programmable devices.

EDIT: oops, conflated with HP-35, from a decade earlier. 10c was programmable. HP-35 was not.

Can someone catch me up on how the settlement against Google where turning off location on your phone didn't stop them from collecting location data, plays in this Supreme Court case?

Isn't this like cell tower data, where the user doesn't have a choice if their location data is collected?

My wife is on a business trip and so it's just me. Some learnings to share on how the house works:

- Weirdly, the kitchen sink is almost exactly the geometric center of the house; hence, equal probability for odors to travel.

- And that reminds me: Need to download PDF for dishwasher operation.

- Day 2 (Friday) of my wonderful better half's travels, I started laundry. I remembered less then 2 days later that I need to transfer the clean (??) clothes from the bottom device (water/soap) to the upper "dryer" -- this device produces some serious heat. Kills odor causing bacteria, and stuff. Will call that a success.

- I find my clothes are scattered on the floor randomly. Seriously high entropy -- reminds me of CloudFlare's lava lamp application: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavarand

- Yep, total regression to the mean of bachelor-self and loving life..and the miracles of modern technology, where like the water automatically fills in the washing device. But not the soap.

Can someone catch me up how FB et al are not the ones responsible for age verification?

Is it lack of something similar to PKI for identify verification?

Is there really better confidence we could now detect a similar 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor event?

Why did you trust how your ID was scanned (if carded)?

With security cameras present, where did that scanned data end up?

After losing Dark Sky on Android, I discovered Foreca app. Works well in my area in the PNW.

One thing I learned is some post processing done by these services are better in some areas than others.

Will share this with my (IPv4-only) ISP. I'm sure it will help.

I couple years ago I read "A Mind at Play", Soni & Goodman, a biography on Claude Shannon. He grew up on a farm and the book mentions how he made extensive use of barbed wire fence telegraph (and if I recall telephone). Perhaps one of the early experiences Shannon had regarding information.

The MIT Museum had a display (last year) of Shannon's "toys", including the famous mouse maze. I don't recall any mention of his early days using barbed wire telegraph though.

I'm seeing Groups.io show up more for hobbies/interests I have. It seems email can be a way to slow down heated discussions. Perhaps at the expense of push-back on using more email?

Anyone have any experiences to share with moving their discussion groups from Discord to Groups.io?
