Jeff Geerling got the brunt of YouTube wrath when he showed people how to host their own media {media that they legally own, which means that they either have the originals, or have paid for whatever digital version they have} with the power of Open Source tools
Jeff explicitly made sure that he never ever told people how to circumvent subscriptions or worse. Nothing that could harm YouTube bottomline was ever discussed in this video.

Yet for reasons obvious to Open Source people like me YouTube gave him his second strike.

3rd Strike and you're gone. This is how Google / this is how Alphabet is treating their Golden Geeze.

Creators like Jeff are very valuable both to the people who follow them and to YouTube. However Google seems to be at Super odds with Open Source, needing it to run their data centers but hating it because they have to share the code again that they've worked upon.

Google is a paradoxical Company which is being controlled by Alphabet, a schizophrenic Entity drunk on power Ads and control

To me you're a star @geerlingguy keep Shining

I'm re-launching my original version of ReaKontrol, a #REAPER extension to integrate with #Komplete Kontrol keyboards, now with support for S-series Mk3 keyboards. It doesn't have some of the visual feedback or other features of the Brummbrum fork, so if you need those things, this is not for you at this stage. Website and downloads: reakontrol.jantrid.net/

WANTED: Intel Architecture Labs 1990’s CD-ROM’s. They appear to have maybe been monthly. They contained a mirror of Intel’s ‘download.intel.com’ ftp server, specifically the /ial/ subdirectory which is not in the 2014 backup of the site on archive.org.

Lots and lots of white papers and design guideline documents in there. Especially looking for ones from the late 1990’s (1998-ish onward) if they exist. I’ve seen references in mailing lists to them that lead me to believe they do.
Example gem: intel trying to cover its ass after the FDIV bug, and have some more FDIV

Photo of an Intel Architecture Labs CD-R or CD-ROM from the mid 1990's (september 1995), stolen from archive dot org which has exactly two CD's backed up.

Okay, now I'm frustrated. I was trying to get the ancient A2 Apple II+ emulator, a completely text-based Apple II+ emulator, going on modern Windows, and I can't for various reasons. So I was gonna try to contact Rich Skrenta, the author, to see if maybe he'd even thought of it since twenty-five years ago when I wrote to him and compiled it for DOS under DJGPP. There appears to have once been a page about the emulator at skrenta.com/a2/ but that entire site now seems to immediately redirect to Linkedin, and you have to join Linkedin in order to be able to get contact info. I mean that's fair enough but as far as I know I would have no other use for that service since I'm not in the professional world, etc.

@cachondo And it gets worse and worse. So I created an account on Linkedin…only to find out that to actually message him, I apparently need to have a Premium subscription. Not to worry, as I can get a thirty-day free trial. But oh yeah, they do need a payment method, and give a vague reason for needing it, but I'm sure it's really that they're hoping I'll forget about it and not cancel in time so they can bill me for something I have no use for…all to contact one guy about code he probably hasn't even thought of in twenty-five years! Sheesh! I'm not going *that* far, at least not now.

Alright y'all... it's halfway thru the month, so what I have on hand = July rent. And while I'm figuring out how to get by without a car, it will be a MASSIVE difference to quality of life as a newly solo parent. Getting out with the baby is so important, not to mention work, errands, and my own social needs.

Y'all have been incredible these past few weeks—I hope another fundraising push can help meet this urgent goal 🚗🚙

Between court things, I'm working on job applications. I know it's a tough market so the more cushion I have, the better! The fundraiser has stalled this week, so please share & consider pitching in if you're able to. This is a massive shift & I'm so lucky to have this village to help me get to the other side ♥️

Far too many of us feel ashamed of resting, for various reasons including trauma, the culture we live in, and the way we were raised.

Unlearning that isn't easy. It's so important to remind ourselves that rest isn't something we earn, it's something we require in order to be able to do all the things we need to do. Especially if we have extra demands on us in some way.

Rest is not a reward. Resting is an action, one that is essential to our wellbeing. And, in a culture that demands we work ourselves to death, rest is resistance. In a culture that prioritises "The Hustle", resting is punk as fuck!

#RestIsNotAReward #RestIsSelfLove #SelfCare #NovaSeilcheag #TheNeuroqueeringSnail #RestingIsResistance #RestingIsPunk

A pale green and blue gradient background, with a snail silhouette in the top left corner, and black writing that reads: NOVA SEILCHEAG, THE NEUROQUEERING SNAIL, SAYS... Rest is not a reward Rest is vital, especially if you have a chronic condition. It's not fair you have to rest more but it does make it even more important It's OK to be frustrated if you need more rest than other people, try to rest anyway When you're resting you're not "Doing nothing", you're RESTING! You deserve to rest, no matter what the Shame Goblin is telling you (Each statement has a snail emoji at the start.)

Trump’s extremist agenda is falling apart and people are furious about his plan to gut Medicaid and SNAP just to fund another billionaire tax giveaway.

So Trump is reaching for the same cruel playbook he used in 2017: Stoking fear and scapegoating immigrants with a new Muslim Ban.

This isn’t about safety or vetting. Banning Muslims and Black and brown immigrants from entering our country is about trying to rile up Trump’s base & distract from how deeply unpopular he is. reuters.com/world/americas/tru…

Indivisible ❌👑

This is white nationalist policy masquerading as national security. Trump is hoping people will look away while he tears families apart, abandons refugees, and turns cruelty into law. We see through it. We’ve fought this ban before. We’ll fight it again — because we know exactly what it is: Racism codified, and a test run for even more authoritarian attacks to come.

Purism Featured in Fortune- Secure Phone Made in the USA.

While Big Tech claims U.S. smartphone manufacturing is “impossible” or “too expensive,”

Purism CEO Todd Weaver is proving otherwise.

In a recent Fortune feature, Weaver shares how Purism’s Liberty Phone—built near San Diego with U.S.-made electronics—delivers security, privacy, and data sovereignty without relying on foreign-controlled supply chains.

Read the full story at Fortune: fortune.com/2025/06/05/made-in…


The only ‘Made in America’ smartphone maker has a message for Apple about manufacturing in the Trump tariff era

Purism, which makes the Liberty Phone in Carlsbad, Calif. using American components, is an anomaly in an industry where manufacturing and supply chains are almost entirely overseas.
