A whole shitstorm in Runet because in S2E1 of Altered Carbon there's a bar name in cyrillic that doesn't make sense πŸ˜‚

"chains of glycine and hydroxy-glycine residues terminated by iron atoms, with additional oxygen and lithium atoms (...) The molecule is tipped by an iron-oxygen-iron grouping that in other terrestrial contexts has been proposed to be capable of absorbing photons and splitting water into hydroxyl and hydrogen moieties"

If you want simple crash reporting functionality for your android app consider using #tracedroid by ligi.
github.com/ligi/tracedroid

Crash reports are super useful, if only for being able to see the stacktraces of my own apps without connecting to a computer.

Tracedroid is super simple (~100 LOC or so), requires 2 lines of code to set it up in your app and yet it has a number of benefits over a lot of the far more complex libraries (at least for my usecases.)

When you run an android phone with an unlocked bootloader one of your main security concerns has to be physical device security.

Even while your data is encrypted, on Android your OS is not and therefore someone with physical access to your device can trivially inject malware that runs with system permissions.

Same is true for the kernel of your notebook and desktop computer when it doesn't run "secureboot" or a comparable security measure.

I've been researching / documenting devices that support verified boot with alternative operating system. Also operating systems that implement this.

Its looking like #Oneplus & Google may be the only vendors to offer support on all their devices

Why it's always worth using additional Linux mitigations such as LKRG? They can stop a zero-day kernel exploit before a patch is published. I've been using LKRG on prod servers for around a year now.

Overheard: "I never turn on washing machine overnight, because overnight it uses only 20% electricity* so the wash quality must be worse".

So much about science and sophisticated engineering: beaten by Facebook wisdom.

* in reality: it's obviously the cost that is 20%...

The conservationists organisations seem to have just as little clue as Greens either: "solar panels, biogas and geothermal energy, and are open to keeping more efficient coal power plants". Fortunately, Germany's emissions are fraction of global, otherwise we'd be doomed πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

Germany's getting the taste of its own medicine: land organisations fight on-shore wind farms, effectively delaying or blocking new investments. Logically, Greens should now argue wind energy "takes too long and is too expensive"... politico.eu/article/an-ill-win

"National grid operator RTE said last week it did not expect the closure of both Fessenheim units this year to impact the security of France's energy supply, despite the delay in commissioning the Flamanville EPR.

"This closure is offset by the commissioning of the combined cycle gas plant in Landivisiau"

French grid operator RTE on fears closure of Fessenheim threatens security of supply:

"This closure is offset by the commissioning of the combined cycle gas plant in Landivisiau."
