'For over a decade, it was the heartbeat of vulnerability research. If something mattered in security, it was on Bugtraq first. Then it went quiet. The domain changed hands through a chain of acquisitions, and somewhere along the way, Bugtraq stopped being Bugtraq. The archives went dark. The list went silent. A generation of researchers grew up without it. Today, we bring it back'

'*gentrification* is the process by which a neighborhood experiences an influx of wealthier residents and investment, often bringing higher property values, new businesses, and changes to the built environment. None of those things are inherently bad. The trouble comes with what often follows...Displacement occurs when rising housing costs, taxes, rents, or changing neighborhood conditions make it difficult or impossible for longtime residents to remain in the community they call home'

Andy Craig on Gordon Wood
'here is the heart of Wood, the insight that animates nearly everything he wrote. The Founders were gentlemen of the 18th century. They were classically educated men who pictured a republic led by a natural aristocracy...What they got instead was an America more radically different from the Old World than they had ever envisioned. Not simply a revival of the classical Roman republic they idolized, or the British constitution produced by the Glorious Revolution, but something fundamentally novel in human history'

I love this essay by Deb Chachra @nprofile…awgk (I've read it several times) but this quote strikes me every time, the clarity with which it articulates the self interest of the rich as necessary precondition to caring for the poor
'the wealthy taxpayers of Boston were convinced to build out water and sewage systems by a straightforward logic: every person in the city, rich or poor, needed clean water to drink every day. Without it, they would be at risk of contracting water-borne diseases like cholera. And with so many people in proximity, wealth alone couldn’t provide protection from contagious disease'

I've seen some pretty entertaining reviews but I reckon this was the best
'Trump himself is an instantly more charismatic presence on screen. His scenes offer a relief from Melania’s mask of pure nothingness. Hitting cinemas as the streets of America remain filled with the angry and grieving – with the country on the verge of an irreparable schism – the vulgar, gilded lifestyle of the Trumps makes them look like Marie Antoinette skulking in her cake-filled chateau, or Hermann Göring’s staring up at his looted Monet...The “film” is part propaganda, sure, and part sop to Big Tech companies who require constant regulatory approval for financial manoeuvrings. Even then, it is bad. It will exist as a striking artefact – like The Birth of a Nation or Triumph of the Will – of a time when Americans willingly subordinated themselves to a political and economic oligopoly'

Doctorow on Solar Transition in far better shape than we're given to believe
"the material bill for solarization is in freefall, with no end in sight. The amount of stuff we need to make panels, transmission lines and batteries keeps declining. Further: the efficiency gains of “clean” technology are astounding — meaning that, for example, it not only takes a lot less material to make a solar panel, the panel we make out of so much less stuff generates a lot more power. More: we keep finding ways to substitute more abundant materials for materials that are harder to find or refine (for example, swapping out lithium in batteries and replacing it with sodium, one of the most abundant minerals on Earth). Finally: we keep finding new sources of the materials that we can’t readily substitute for"

@nprofile…emwt It's actually a mystery to me how it can be such a mystery.
I had one of the OMV devs tell me it's not possible an SBC runs more efficiently on Armbian because it uses the same kernel as vanilla Debian which's false because if you install OMV's Wireguard plugin on an Armbian system it will install a vanilla kernel and will not be able to reboot.
If a vanilla kernel breaks an Armbian system there's something fundamentally different about those two kernels.
