Just when you thought #blockchain couldn't get more silly hype… https://blockchaingoeshollywood.com/ https://twitter.com/BlockGoes Because what a cryptographically-linked timestamped P2P distributed data stucture really needs is more celebzzz baby! Whole thing is amazing (and weirdly informative).

Ok, one more time, please, disable UPnP on your router unless you know what you're doing. And remember to update the software running on your router if at all possible: "A 100,000-router botnet is feeding on a 5-yr-old UPnP bug in Broadcom chips" https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/11/a-100000-router-botnet-is-feeding-on-a-5-year-old-upnp-bug-in-broadcom-chips/

I think the WiMAX article on @Wikipedia might be slightly out if date https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiMAX

The weird, mad world of Instagram: there's a nascent industry selling captions, for that perfect "best friends" or "I've been married for 38 days" picture. And apps that use machine learning to generate them, for the low, low price is $3.99!. https://www.theringer.com/tech/2018/11/6/18067216/clever-instagram-captions-industry-apps-issa-caption

So that makes it 2 excellent bands from Melbourne I've discovered this year: Camp Cope (@GeorgiaMaq @sideshowkelso) and @hiatuskaiyote. As different as they are good. Waiting on that new Hiatus Kaiyote album this year though, Camp Cope have done their part, they released theirs !

Trying to install Phusion Passenger on Debian, to be able to install moa.party and cross-post between here and Twitter… Dependencies issues (libnginx-mod-http-passenger from the Phusion repos wants a very specific version of nginx), has anyone else run into that?

Vous ne le saviez peut-être pas, mais les ampoules halogènes sont désormais interdites à la vente en France, depuis le 1er septembre. https://www.quechoisir.org/actualite-ampoules-halogenes-enfin-interdites-a-la-vente-n58249/

Listening to @difm's synthpop radio all afternoon and feeling like an 80s hacker: ☑

"The first two smartphones with 10GB of RAM have been announced" My teenage self, baffled at the idea of servers of the time having 16 GB of RAM, is both in awe & a bit sad. 10 gigs of RAM. In your pocket. To run a private version of XMPP & see cats. Sure. https://liliputing.com/2018/10/xiaomi-wins-the-race-to-smartphones-with-10gb-of-ram-for-better-or-worse.html

C'est quand même fabuleux quand un véhicule de police traverse un passage piéton en marche arrière et coupe la priorité des piétons en train de le traverser, le tout *devant une voiture auto-école*. Le bon exemple. C'est combien de points déjà, refus de priorité piéton ?

Incroyable ce taxi qui me klaxonne puis me double tranquillement dans une petite rue en me rasant et qui me dit goguenard "ça sort d'où la règle de doubler à 1m ?". Du code de la route, dont de toute évidence il se fout pas mal. Le partage de la route à #Paris, c'est pas gagné.

Ok, enough is enough. Disarm hunters now.

So @Kurz_gesagt made a video on meat and it's many problems. In typical Kurzgesagt fashion, it's good. Conclusion is weak, but unlike worm holes this is somthg where people actually need to change their behaviour, so an issue a little more antagonising ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxvQPzrg2Wg

Et là, dans la queue du petit restaurant coréen du coin de la rue, quelqu'un avec un sweat #33c3 !
