🦔 Eine kleine Lücke mit großer Bedeutung. Früher streiften Igel durch ländliche Hecken, Gehölze und artenreiche Magerwiesen. Heute kämpfen sie in urbanen Gärten und Parks um ihre Reviere – zwischen Zäunen und Straßen wird ihr Zuhause leider immer kleiner.
🪚 Du willst ihnen ein Stück Lebensraum zurückgeben? Zeit für ein Igel-Tor! Der Einschnitt im Zaun sollte am Boden mindestens 13 x 13 cm groß, ohne scharfe Kanten und am besten in der Nähe von Hecken und Sträuchern platziert sein.

Just listened to this solid episode of the Statecraft podcast: How to Digitize the Government. I had the chance to meet Joel Burke in #Estonia at the e-Governance conference earlier this year.

Kdyby ty penize pouzili a nasli si kvalitniho psychologa, tak by to dost pomohlo cele spolecnosti.

Look, a new #curl option proposed by @icing: '--out-null'
github.com/curl/curl/pull/1780…
Add a new commandline option --out-null that discards all response bytes into the void. Replaces non-portable use of '-o /dev/null' with more efficiency. Feature earliest for 8.16.0GitHub
is it really so hard to teach Windows users to use `-o nul:` ?
Who cares about performance when you're throwing away the data?
One of my fav graphs of #curl improvement in recent years, is the one showing vulnerabilities reported separated between low/medium and high/critical.
The report frequency has gone up, but they are less critical these days.
long term improvements is super hard to confirm since the average age a security problem has existed once reported is still around eight years.
So after eight years or so we start to get a picture if we have indeed improved.
Can you compare the graph of knowledge over time? IE, if you take now and looking back X years, and compare that to a year ago, looking back X years, does the graph change shape?
If you're improving it should be flatter now (since there were fewer security issues to be fixed).

An iPhone app called ICEBlock, which allows anyone to lawfully and anonymously report ICE sightings and get notified about nearby ICE agents, went viral overnight after criticism from the US Attorney General.
FYI: The app doesn't collect or store user data. (I checked by doing a network traffic analysis of the app.)

The citizen app for anonymously reporting ICE agents and raids went viral after criticism from the U.S. attorney general.Zack Whittaker (TechCrunch)
Given that currently 8% of the people detained by ICE for deportation are factual violent criminals, American citizens should take note that the words of a dictator are fucking meaningless gravy.
Merely having the wrong meme on your phone and not enough money for the best deals on a golden Trump card can get you thrown into a gulag in another country.

The dust has not even settled from the announcement that ICE will be receiving more funding than the entire US prison system, and that a new concentration camp is opening in Florida, and already Trump is announcing he will deport US citizens.

If you are in the US and are not trembling in fear right now, you have not grasped the full seriousness of the situation we are now facing.
Please join the discussion on what to do about it here:
We are at the 11th hour.
I hate running. I used to believe that, over time, this would change. I thought, over time, that I would grow to love running out of sheer repetition. This has not happened.
I used to think that if I could write for a living I’d never have to work—my hobby would be my job. This also has not happened. It turns out that when you have to do something for multiple hours every day it’s not always fun. Sometimes the day goes by quickly because of how much fun you’re having, sure, but not every day. Some days you don’t feel like being creative but have to anyway. Some days you have absolutely nothing to say but need to keep talking because that’s the job.
Sometimes things are hard, is what I’m saying. It’s a universal human experience.
Companies, naturally, are trying to sell you things to “solve” this unsolvable problem. The logic of consumerism runs deep in all of us thanks to the hundreds of hours we’ve all spent listening to advertising’s constant rituals. In thirty second we see a problem presented, a solution offered at a reasonable price, then a moment of ecstatic relief as the product solves the problem. It’s the story we’ve all seen more than any other, drilled into our heads, shaping the way we see the world whether we realize it or not.
So obviously we all think we’re one purchase away from solving things that aren’t really solvable. Do you hate running? Buy a Fitbit and you can turn those dreaded workout into something fun. Are you having trouble feeling motivated? Maybe buy this fancy project management software, or notebook, or anything else you might come to believe will finally make it easy for you to do things you don’t actually want to do.
I am not, for the record, saying all of these things are useless. They have real purposes. But no tool is every going to make it easy for you to do things you don’t want to do. I am never going to like running—I’m just going to have to convince myself to do it anyway.
I’ve found ways to make running suck less. I do it first thing in the morning—that way I don’t spend all day dreading the workout to come. I always run with my wife, which creates the social pressure I need to actually follow through. I listen to music while I run, mostly so that I have something to think about that isn’t how much I hate running. And we basically always run the same route—that way I know exactly how much running is left and can avoid the need to make any decisions while I’m tired and angry.
None of this makes running fun. It does make it suck less. And part of doing things you dislike—or even doing things you like on days you’d rather not—is realizing that there’s never going to be some purchase or trick that will magically make it easy. There is never going to be some magic moment of truth where things click and you stop resisting the things you know you need to do.
Sometimes you just have to push through it. Sometimes it’s hard, and that’s okay. Do it anyway.

in reply to Mike Gifford, CPWA • • •Are SOL and ADA all they seem to be? SOL especially seems really easy to use and implement governance but I don't know the encryption stuff to know if these claims are valid.
I've been struggling to find information on the environmental impacts of these kinds of coins. Everything focuses on power, but these coins use more hard drive as I understand it. Do you know where I could get more info on this?

in reply to Mike Gifford, CPWA • • •Solana and Caldano. Blockchain technologies and ecosystems that can implement the stuff this guy is talking about. I thought maybe you were an expert on the tech.
If you are interested go ahead and review webspace on these blockchains. I'm especially interested in Solana, but Caldano is maybe more thoughtful.
