I blog about CTFs and system administration. Sometimes a bit of reverse engineering as well.

@tripofmice Yes, and only publicly available books have an assigned ISBN.
In any case, I don't think there's going to be many people reading 70 year-old books. Keep in mind ISBNs are assigned to publications, not the books themselves. Books can (and often will) be republished, sometimes even verbatim.
If I were you, I'd first tacle the problem using ISBN and then you can figure out something else for older books.

Lucky you! This already exists! It's called ISBN https://isbnsearch.org/
@selea for anyone really. I don't advertise it because signing up is a manual process for me, but sure, as long as you respect Spanish and French law, I have no issues with offering accounts as long as my server has space for people.
@amolith@masto.nixnet.xyz not to mention most people don't use a password manager and e-mail is essentially the key to all your online services. Imagine telling a non-techie he has to migrate his hundreds of accounts because Gmail is somehow bad. It's an insane amount of effort for something that seems not that important.
I'm doing my part offering free e-mail service at my expense, and so are you. That's a good start.
@amolith@masto.nixnet.xyz The issue is that, IMHO, back when Gmail was a closed beta, you could only get e-mail service from your ISP and a few other providers which offered ridiculously tiny storage amounts. Google changed that for the better, they offered a free e-mail service with copious amounts of storage. And I think it was our fault (us techies) when we pushed people to adopt Gmail back then. Just like how we pushed people to adopt Chrome. People are now used to free e-mail services.

There I was thinking that using different SSH keys for each server was sufficient protection. Who thought that sending all of them to any server you try to connect to was a good idea?

@joacim it seems this article is saying exactly what I told you. Glad we agree, then!
@anonymouscoward @selea I'm an advertiser. Please send me your credit card's transaction history for the last 24 months.
It's just for targeted advertising, don't worry about it. Just send it.
Also, your physical home address and your mobile phone number. Just checking you're a real human, that's all.
@joacim you can turn Bluetooth off permanently from settings. Please, don't help spread FUD, thanks.

Waterfox, a fork of Firefox, has been sold to System1, an ad/online marketing company. You probably want to watch out what happens to Waterfox from there on, if you ever used it. #linux #firefox #waterfox https://www.waterfox.net/blog/waterfox-has-joined-system1
I find the sweet spot to be at deferring feature updates for 60 days, and security updates for 8 (just enough to make sure a week passes before any issues are found, just in case).
For example, I just received update 1909, which was released starting in November 2019: https://www.howtogeek.com/437112/whats-new-in-windows-10s-19h2-update-arriving-fall-2019/ , more than enough time to fix its rough edges.
Since it is well-known that Microsoft Windows 10 updates tend to be buggy on the day of release, it is possible to defer upgrades for a given period of time. This means you won't get the latest and greatest features, but if you're a content producer, a professional who relies on their computer, or just a heavy gamer, you may appreciate the improved stability.
Note that this requires Windows 10 Pro. If you run Home, I recommend you upgrade to Pro.

@ultem Haha, nice :)
