Interview on Esoteric Codes, in which we answer some questions about aesthetics and our philosophy of development, and of life, I guess.
In Ireland, you don't complain for having a "way too sunny" day.

imagine an e-ink screen as light as watercolor paper.
this image almost feels fake, like a frame-less window over a desktop wallpaper.

Fujifilm Created a Magnetic Tape That Can Store 580 Terabytes:
https://petapixel.com/2020/12/26/fujifilm-created-a-magnetic-tape-that-can-store-580-terabytes/
To put 580 terabytes in perspective, itโs roughly the equivalent of 120,000 DVDs or 786,977 CDs โ IBM notes that stacking that many CDs would result in a tower 3,097 feet (944m) tall, or taller than Burj Kalifa, the worldโs tallest building.

Mind blown, I never realized this coincidence:
You can use the next number in the Fibonacci sequence (1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34) to convert from miles to kilometers.
For example, 13 miles is 21 kilometers.

I'm working on a coffee-break text game in my spare time.
It's inspired from a game I used to play with my brother long time ago, around 1998 or so.
It's about a young guy with telekinetic powers that wants to save his town, and the girl he loves. The description of the game would be something like: "*Slay a few hundred creatures using your mental powers and learn about life, purpose and love along the way*."
I believe I'm half the way, but I keep finding things to add :)

I'm doing a bit of research for a talk, could you send me anything relevant to paper computing, diy punchards machines, graph-paper coding, vedic mathematics, mechanical programming, and other things you have stumbled upon that you found interesting related to computerless computing?

Researchers from Dublin reviewed the Google Play Services that are mandatory for Covid Tracing Apps on Android. Every 20 min they transfer:
- IP adress
- phone #
- email
- IMEI
- SIM #

โก๏ธ So it's illegal, intrusive and affects large parts of the population

We have delisted Firefox Send as the service is down because of malware issues.
When the service goes back up we will ensure it's meeting our standards before it is listed again.
BTW I discovered a few alternatives and I made an article about it: https://crlf.site/log/notes/200624-comments/
