As usual, priceless security advice from Docker users:
"By setting umask to 0000 new files are created with another permission mask, so group and others may write into these new files"

Who could have thought...
Someone has just proposed to replace Poland's Chopin with Catherine the Great, the empress of Russia... as she was indeed born in Szczecin, Poland 😂 This would be actually an awesome way to troll *both* Poles and Russians 😂

Just started watching crime series. Started with no dialogues at all but then first dialogue was spoken - in English dubbing - saying "911 what is your emergency". At the same time subtitles show "112" which is the correct version as it's a Finnish film and in EU it's all 112.
Comes out the dubbing is not only translated but also adapted for US, so watching films with dubbing is just like flying to Tehran and then dining exclusively at McDonald's...
Maya Plisetskaya (1925-2015), famous Soviet dancer:
"Communism was worse than fascism. I regret this poor country, which never had opportunity for a decent life. Even animals fully reshape, and communists all the time tried to transform people into animals. As result they turned people into slaves. The system was cemented by fear."
Her father was executed in 1937 as "enemy of the people" and mother was sent to a labour camp in Kazakhstan for 8 years.
«Коммунизм хуже фашизма. Я жалею эту несчастную страну, в которой никогда хорошо не жилось. Даже животных переделать нельзя, а коммунисты все время старались сделать животных из людей. В результате превратили людей в рабов. Цементом системы был страх».
Майя Плисецкая (1925-2015). У Плисецкой отец был расстрелян как враг народа в 1937 и мать сослана на 8 лет в Казахстан.
Now that's worth sharing:

Всем привет! В связи с новостью о том, что компания Zoom купила Keybase, мы, команда Cipher Dogs, начали разработку аналога Keybase. У нас уже есть MVP, который мы готовы уже показать миру. За основу мы взяли Blockstack, так как это полноценная децентрализованная платформа, в которой есть все необходимое.
Если есть вопросы, пожелания, дополнения или просто хотите помочь, даже финансово, то welcome!
@PINE64 are Pine laptops vulnerable to https://thunderspy.io/ at all? The specification doesn't mention Thunderbold so just checking...
Thunderspy attack targets devices with a Thunderbolt port. If your computer has such a port, an attacker who gets brief physical access to it can read and copy all your data, even if your drive is encrypted and your computer is locked or set to sleep.
By the way, if you were inspired by the "real Lord of Flies" story from The Guardian, I have just found the small print on the bottom of the article that says the story is a part of a book "Humankind" by Ruther Bergman that is going to be published soon:

For some reason The Guardian didn't really make that very visible...
A fascinating story a boy called Onfim living in 13th century Novgorod and doing his homework on birch bark which survived to our times in clay ground.
