I made a mistake 4 years ago. I said vampires and zombies couldn’t [long] coexist. Because they’d be competing for the same – dwindling – food source: the living (vs them both being undead). But I was wrong. If the universe in which they exist is a mash-up of that of Twilight and iZombie … …

I recently had cause to do an extensive trellised timechart for a dashboard at $CUSTOMER in Splunk. They have a couple hundred locations reporting networked devices. I needed to report on how many devices they’ve reported every day over the last 90 days (I would have liked to go back further…but retention is only 90 …

I omitted something kinda big when I wrote my one-time UBI proposal last year. I neglected to address welfare reform. Welfare would have to be changed for UBI to even have a half a prayer of working. The “easy” way to do this would be to phase-in reduced welfare benefits on a prorated-equivalent basis for …

What we have now is a completely neurotic population obsessed with security and safety and crime and drugs and cleanliness and hygiene and germs… there’s another thing… germs. Where did this sudden fear of germs come from in this country? Have you noticed this? The media, constantly running stories about all the latest infections – …

4.5 years ago, I switched hosts (though not providers (that had happened 4.5 years prior to that)) for my “big” server. Now I’m about to do it again. from antipaucity https://antipaucity.com/2020/06/23/apparently-i-do-this-about-every-4-5-years/ via IFTTT

After years of thinking about it, I finally got around to it. I’ve rewritten my RSS feed driven website https://datente.com to run on Python from PHP. I’m sure there is much room for improvement in the approach – and would appreciate any constructive feedback you may have.

I found out about sshuttle from a random tweet that happened to catch my eye. Here’s the skinny (from the readme): Your client machine (or router) is Linux, FreeBSD, or MacOS. You have access to a remote network via ssh. You don’t necessarily have admin access on the remote network. The remote network has no …

After a friend of mine told me he wanted to deploy Jitsi on my main webserver, and me saying “sure”, I decided I wanted to get it up and running on a new server both so I knew how to do it, and to avoid the latency issues of videoconferencing from central North America to …

There’s often irrational panic in investment markets. Most recently that’s been due to the Wuhanvirus/coronavirus/covid19 scare. If you’re selling while the stock market is falling, you’re losing money. You want to buy low, and sell high – but since you can never know where either the bottom or top is, how can you mitigate against …

“Telsa will add solar power to the Cybertruck to generate 15 miles per day. Fold-out solar wings for the Cybertruck would generate 30 to 40 miles per day.

As I mentioned a while back, I am maintaining a merikebi for myself of as much of my public internet content as possible. The initial seeding of content was done via WordPress import. Then I added a dump from Pocket of everything I’d saved there. Lastly, to keep it going, I made a few IFTTT …

A lot of talk has been made in the past couple years (and even currently by one of the fellas running for the 2020 Democratic Party nomination to be their candidate for President) of governments (which really means taxpayers) funding a universal basic income. Alaska’s been doing something like this for close to 40 years. …

For a long time, I’ve been concerned about knowledge capture. And archiving. I’ve finally done something about my own public persona. It’s not 100% complete, but I’ve created my own “online merikebi” of public content. It’s over at https://merikebi.warrenmyers.com. It’s collecting posts from all of my blogs, Reddit, and Twitter. As and when appropriate (and …
