"Trail of Broken Lives Leads to Kyiv Call Center"
Scammer company called Milton Group operating in Mandarin Plaza mall in Kyiv, led by David Todua and Jacob Keselman

"The Useful Idiot" by John Sweeney - Well written historic thriller with very accurate historic background, revealing a lot of little known facts about the history of USSR and pre-war Europe. Being myself interested in this period of history I pay attention to details and I was impressed by the accuracy of the story. Style of of Party officials speeches and the overall atmosphere of the book remind of the best books of Arthur Koestler and Michel Heller. Strongly recommended.

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of VPN endpoints suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced, followed by a shitload of sysadmins saying 'oh, sure, it's important *now*. Remember when we said it was? We told you so'"

Toyota, Honda and Kia keyless ignition fobs can be cloned by attackers who get within a few inches of your pocket (say, at a conference), thanks to implementation errors that the auto-makers made with their Texas Instruments DST80 security systems.

“One very good one of a ship full of refugees being bombed somewhere in the Mediterranean"
At the same time Jean-Paul Sartre in France fiercely argues that people in USSR have "complete freedom of criticism" and repressed dissident writers "still had the opportunity of rehabilitating themselves by writing better books".
In 60's authorities of USSR promised #communism will be achieved by 1980, with almost everything available for free, 6 hours of work per day etc. This is literally written in this 60's textbook.
Reality: in 1962 workers of Electromotive factory in Novocherkassk organise a strike and protest against ever-inreasing work quotas and skyrocketing food prices. 26 are shot to death, hundreds arrested https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novocherkassk_massacre

Bonus track: acquiring toilet paper in conditions of total shortage :)
For anyone who hadn't had the pleasure to grow up in socialist shortage economy of 70's Eastern Europe I strongly recommend this 1971 comedy as it contains a number of useful daily hints on managing deficit of basic goods, queues etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M2386VX0Po (with subtitles)

apparently april is autism month so, to summarize: Autism Speaks is still a hate group; listen to #ActuallyAutistic people instead cuz we know our own needs best.
the symbolism behind the puzzle piece is insulting, it represents the idea that we're broken or there's a piece missing from us, so don't use it. look up the rainbow infinity symbol instead.
I'm mostly infosec but worked a lot with BCP & DR* teams who asked me for help in DR planning.
We did plan for floods, blackouts, epidemics (that was H1N1 times) but the amount of human ingenuity and professionalism being put into Covid-19 containment at global level is absolutely awesome.
Let these people do their job and keep politics at bay. We're in good hands.
* BCP & DR = Business Continuity Planning & Disaster Recovery

Just noticed a spike in traffic to my Linux guide. Google has started sending visitors that search for things such as "switch from Mac to Linux". I'm hoping that it will "convert" some of them. Now if I could just rank above that Medium post too!

There is no evidence that TCM even work...the communist party did however promote a medicine that was majority owned by high ranking party members...that medicine was sold out over night and was quackery and witchcraft. There was quote afterwards, "if the party told people dog shit was the cure the entire worlds supply of dog shit would be dug up over night".
Every chinese hospital prescribes western meds coupled with chinese meds, most people just throw away the herbal stuff. Their insurance company's cover the cost of the TCM otherwise the industry would buckle...and industry that's heavily invested in by high ranking party members...good luck getting testing done on those "medicines"...
Now as for the meds that come from animals, they are mostly boner medicine...google it, I'm not joking
