The buses in Berlin started offering USB charging when I wasn't looking. Definitely a use case for a power-only USB cable.
The birds in Miami have learned to pick up sugar packets from restaurant tables. Never seen that before.
My first year of hop harvest. 112g of ????, 25g of Cascade, 21g of Nugget, and a paltry 5g of Mount Hood. Harvest, drying, weighing, bagging, and tagging is a bit of work. It should be worth it come brewing time though.
I found some more hops and harvested them. https://i.bke.ro/selif/bgldfmn9.jpg
First hop harvest of the season. Mount Hoods. They've been here for 2 seasons. Next year I'll need to give them a real trellis to climb.
Fuchsia is Google's Servo project.
Here and forever. https://nomoregoogle.com/
Today I reinstalled NoScript after watching an ad-tech presentation. I forgot the web could be this fast.
Teardown Conf looks amazing. I can't believe it fell off my radar earlier. Not this time! Hardware hacking, discovery, workshops! https://www.crowdsupply.com/teardown/portland-2019
Was looking for a replacement for zoneminder. I heard this might be a replacement. WTF kind of open source license is this? https://gitlab.com/Shinobi-Systems/Shinobi/blob/master/COPYING.md
Today I learned that mosh-server never kills old connections? Want to clean up? `killall mosh-server`. Bleh. https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/issues/394
A study from 2 years of net neutrality enforcement in EU, particularly focusing on how zero rating raises the prices of mobile data volumes. https://en.epicenter.works/sites/default/files/2019_netneutrality_in_eu-epicenter.works-r1.pdf
Finally got a working WWAN card on my ThinkPad X1C6. https://bke.ro/working-wwan-on-the-x1-carbon-gen-6/

hey internet! I need to deliver ~21GB to Bombay (Andheri East). Sending it on snail mail takes too long. Does anybody know somebody who could download that amount there? I could pay for time and data :) that would be suuuuuuuper helpful! <3 #followerpower
Run Linux? Have an SSD? Run '$ sudo fstrim -v /' and enjoy the speed boost.

If you really want to help Firefox succeed, file a bug on https://webcompat.com/ when you find a broken website. Don't just switch back to Chrome; let Mozilla know there's a problem so they can try to fix it.
When browsers lose market share, they fall into the "compatibility death spiral." Sites don't bother to test, they break, and users flee to the browser that "just works." Mozilla is fighting this battle every day, and it just got harder.
