Zmizeli beze stopy. Tragédii hokejových reprezentantů stále halí záhada

Přesně před sto lety, 5. listopadu 1924, se narodil český hokejový útočník Karel Stibor. Mistr světa z roku 1947 a stříbrný medailista z olympiády o rok později byl jednou z obětí leteckého neštěstí, při kterém zemřelo i pět jeho parťáků. Připomeňte si jednu z největších tragédií v historii českého sportu.

Great guide by @vantablack that explains how to run your own 🏴‍☠️ radio using azuracast and mixxx on the Oracle free cloud tier:

vantablack.writeas.com/vantas-…

With the neat idea to use #ffmpeg through "yt-dlp --extract-audio" to "borrow" some cool audio fillers from one of thousands of video services supported.

We'd like to hear your feedback!

Brave people asked us to include Brave as a Google Chrome alternative. In the original post, Brave was not included because it is based on Chromium.

What are your thoughts: Should we, or should we not include Brave in this image of Google alternatives? Why?

Wild ass day in the Tor node operator world. Got an email from my VPS, forwarding a complaint from WatchDog CyberSecurity saying that my box was scanning SSH ports!

> Oh no, oh no, I knew I should have set up fail2ban, oh god why was I so lackadaisical!

So I remote in to the machine: no unusual network activity, no unusual processes, users, logins, command history, no sign that anything is doing anything I didn't tell it to do.

So what's up? Turns out there's been a widespread campaign where some actor is spoofing IPs to make it look like systems running Tor are scanning port 22: forum.torproject.org/t/tor-rel…

Operators from all over are saying they're getting nastygrams from their VPS providers because WatchDog is fingering their source IPs (which are being spoofed and NOT part of a global portscanning botnet).

@delroth did an amazing writeup of the whole thing here: delroth.net/posts/spoofed-mass…

[tor-relays] Tor relays source IPs spoofed to mass-scan port 22?

It would be hard to explain to Verizon I run Tor relays since they technically don't allow servers. I hope I'm not forced onto AT&T Internet Air as my particular co-op rental unit won't let met get Spectrum even when other units can, not that I wante…

I've been looking at @Seirdy's /meta/ page and it was so cool I was inspired to follow suite.

In fact, I realized I love reading about people talking about their personal sites themselves and wished more people do it, so I made a post about it which lists some other examples I've found:

"Add a Meta page to your personal website"

Meta's nuclear power plans were foiled by bees — yes, bees
"...A rare species of bee was found on land where the company was planning to put a nuclear-powered artificial intelligence data center, the Financial Times reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly told employees during an all-hands meeting that the rare bees would further complicate a deal with an existing nuclear power plant to build the data center."

#PSA: if you have a small business that ships items, consider not using Uline: the owner uses the company's profits to fund right wing anti-democratic causes.

And, because you still need to ship your product, here's a good resource to replace them:

Refuse Uline

Uline is a purposely political company aligned with extreme right-wing ideology. Despite their politics, millions of small businesses and artists still use ULINE completely unaware of what their dollars are supporting. This needs to end now.

"Disposable vapes are indefensible. Many, or maybe most, of them contain rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, but manufacturers prefer to sell new ones. More than 260 million vape batteries are estimated to enter the trash stream every year in the UK alone. Vapers and vape makers are simply leaving an e-waste epidemic to the planet's future residents to sort out."

Guy makes “dodgy e-bike” from 130 used vapes to make point about e-waste

It’s not a project for most people, but watching someone ride up to 20 miles, and up to 30 mph, on tossed-out vape batteries is transfixing.

Inspired by @kees and @bagder I graphed #ArkScript source code age (last 3.x version is from mid 2023 hence the big purple triangle starting in 2023)

There seems to be a lot of code, but tests are counted too.
16'540 lines for the source code only, and 12'430 for the tests (8k dedicated to the fuzzing corpus, 4k for the unit tests)

I attribute the big jump to my recent "add tests everywhere" addiction

Graph of ArkScript source code age. It starts in 2019 with less than 20k lines, goes up to 25k at the start of 2021, and then dips to 16k soon after. Then it goes slowly up again in 2021, 2022, and 2023, reaching 25k again by the end of the year. A big jump is observed from 2023 to 2024, taking the line count to 37k as of writing. Code from 2019 and 2020 slowly gets replaced by 2021 code, and 2022 code is added but then gets replaced quickly by 2024 code. Not much code was added in 2023 but it stays the same quantity.
