I wanted to know more about THE VOICE, who defined movie trailers until his death in 2008.
This is amazing. His voice changed in the middle of a sentence when he was 13. The next day he didn't want to speak in class so his teacher got annoyed. He finally said, "so what do you want me to say," in his new baritone and got sent to the principal's office. 😃
Folk, don't start smoking. It's hard for many to stop and we lose too many good people to it.

Who wants to help out with using #bittorrent v2, which has file-based merkle trees, to be able to combine the smaller chunks of at-risk data scraped by many independent people, none of whom can store the whole thing?
It's the first time I've seen a real use case for Bittorrent v2, a cool p2p and interface design problem (also need to make the site capable of representing ragged, overlapping parent/child relationships, make it possible for people to "claim" chunks of a dataset as ones they are in the process of scraping), and all about making sure the fascists can't own the informational space and control what is allowed to be known.

Moin Leute, kann mir mal einer sagen, was hier wieder los ist ? Was analysiert die Friendica Directory nur wieder ? Oder besser nicht ?
Gestern stand das noch auf "95" ganz vorne dran.
Leider wird der Grund der Änderung unbekannt bleiben, bis git.friendi.ca/friendica/frien… umgesetzt ist.
Die Zahlen werden nicht nach Zufall generiert. Aber wenn der Grund für die Änderung nicht dokumentiert wird, ist das klarerweise suboptimal.
¿Creo que también están los de Mistral, no?
En cualquier caso, podría venirnos bien para determinados trabajos de clasificación (por ejemplo de alegaciones en procedimientos). Habrá que ver hasta que punto se puede uno fiar.
Meta staff torrented nearly 82TB of pirated books for AI training — court records reveal copyright violations
"...court records reveal that the social media company used pirated torrents to download 81.7TB of data from shadow libraries including Anna’s Archive, Z-Library, and LibGen. It then used this information to train its AI models."

Did they think they could get away with it?Jowi Morales (Tom's Hardware)
I've been seeing hate on NASA lately, being bought into by leftists even, and I just want to point out something very important:
Musk has hated NASA for a *long* time. There is a reason it is being attacked, and a reason public opinion is being swayed against NASA: It *keeps SpaceX in line* more than anything else.
NASA is being seen as "competition" to SpaceX, as the obstacle in his way. It has been like this for quite some time, and now, with DOGE and other things, he can do something about it.
I would like to point out a few things:
1. SPACEX IS NOT CHEAPER
They boast they can "do what NASA does for 10% the cost!" Sure, it's easy when you did none of the R&D.
SpaceX saved on:
Landing tech: DC-X project in 1991-1996
Tank structure: Shuttle SLWT tank, 1998-2011
Merlin Engines: direct descendant of the Fastrac Engine, 1997-2001.
Those three things alone saved SpaceX over 90% of the R&D costs. It's easy to "appear" cheap when you're using off the shelf tech someone else (NASA!) developed.
2. NASA IS GREAT FOR THE ECONOMY!
For every $1 spent on NASA, $8 is put into economy. Its stupid to not invest in that kind of ROI! 800%! At times, its ROI Has been 1600%!
Simply put, if you defund NASA, the economy would shrink so much you would actually have to RAISE taxes to make up for the lost revenue, and without its existence we would be 30 years behind in technology and the quality of life for everyone would be much lower. Science and research is GOOD for society, it's the fuel for all progress.
3. WHAT HAS NASA DONE FOR ME?! (Surely you just mean NASA is good for tech & science folk....)
Nope! Good for all!
Ever have an MRI or CAT Scan? They wouldn't exist without the Apollo program! The software that made them possible was originally written to analyze lunar photography.
Low power digital x-Rays was planetary body research.
Heart pumps are modeled after space shuttle turbopumps.
The software that designed your car was originally written to design spacecraft!
Who do you think pioneered all the early research into alternative power like solar panels, hydrogen fuel cells, and durable batteries? NASA!
NASA developed tech and satellites is also what improves agricultural yields while reducing the needs for water, fertilizer, and pesticides.
Do you really think Musk gives two shits? No. He wants the money, he wants to let SpaceX run amok without any oversight for safety, without any "competition".
All fights are important, but do realise that this one is a huge thorn in his side, and one that is keeping a huge problem from ballooning and swallowing us all whole.
Do not be fooled or swayed by lies, of tactics meant to divide, of things being done to make you be angry at NASA. If he can make you hate NASA, he won.
Expect far more space junk to fall, the night sky to be ruined by satellites, and the loss of all things good that proper research and design does for humanity and gives back to the world. Not to mention: enjoy seeing the horrible things he can accomplish fully unchecked.
ETA: Now that you know, call / fax / email your senators and reps, and whatever else too! Boosting gets people thinking, but thinking is not action!

I just released versions 0.6.2 of rsop, a stateless #OpenPGP ("SOP") CLI tool based on @rpgp:
Changes since rsop 0.6.0:
- decryption based on session keys is now supported,
- generation of man pages and shell tab completion has been added,
- some subtle semantics fixes for component key validity were implemented.
For more on #SOP, see datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft…
This document defines a generic stateless command-line interface for dealing with OpenPGP messages, certificates, and secret key material, known as sop.IETF Datatracker

AirGradient: sledování kvality vzduchu (nejen) pro Home Assistant
Před dvěma a půl lety jsme se přestěhovali do čtvrti s rodinnými domy na kraji Brna. A ač se tu nenachází žádná velká doprava nebo průmysl, vzduch je tu v zimě často horší než v centru. Mnoho let už platí, že mezi nejvýznamnější znečišťovatele vzduchu patří lokální topeniště. Do řízeného větrání jsme museli pořídit tři filtry, dva uhlíkové a […]
