Vampires!
OKay, so today at work me and a co-worker were talking about how vampires die if you drive a wooden stake through their heart. So we decided to test if another co-worker was a vampire. We drove a wooden stake stake through their heart, and they died! There you go! Definitive proof that vampires exist!

OK, my nerdlings, I have questions about your tech and privacy/security philosophies. This isn't an attempt to sell anything or intended to represent politics or preferences beyond your own personal philosophies on access, privacy, or safety:
1) Does e-privacy actually matter to you? I honestly question my sanity when I get an email about tech-bros/regulatory capture/4&5 amendment rights/whatever, and it comes from a "gmail" account where we can both be quite sure it's been read, stored permanently, analyzed, and appropriate authorities or fixers called about it.
2) Do you see privacy and security concerns as separate issues, or as stops on the same spectrum of data hygiene?
3) Would you support some kind of "guaranteed no matter what" system, maybe from the government, maybe not, to ensure that no one can be entirely removed from online life by a government or organization for any reason, at all, no matter the reason? For example, an online identity that must be accepted by any government agency or communications/social service that can't be turned off at a base level, so folks you know can always find/communicate with you, even if you get on the wrong end of a block. I guess I'm asking if even someone who (for some examples) offended a service owner, said "bad" things in public and became cancelled/blocked, got accused of being a bot, etc. should still be allowed to participate at least at a survival level in the 21st century, so long as they haven't done or said anything that caused them to be imprisoned?
4) Assuming you were too busy/confused to build your own carefully constructed personal data protection regime, would you consider paying an organization to do the heavy lifting about keeping your digital life safe? If so, what might that service look like, and how much might it be worth to you? Do you know of any existing services that for you match these functions in whole or part?

So yeah, first Google "gave it away" to schools, because "Education is so important". Now that they are so intertwined with modern education that even (maybe especially?) public schools can't get along without it. And now, with American education pover a barrel, the mask has come off: 'Force your students to be the targets of our AI slop-systems, or you can't use any of our systems'

So in 2016, Stanley tools wanted to release a new insulated 40 oz steel drinking cup, and they needed marketing copy. Their bright idea was to call it a "tumbler", a word which had previously meant a delicate cocktail glass. For whatever reason, their marketing copy completely rewrote American English, to the point that apparently large swathes of the American public no longer know what the word means!
And therefore, my wife and I nearly had nervous breakdowns this weekend over a very confusing argument about whether the kids should be allowed to take highball glasses to school this term!

The parallel is historically accurate. The Weimar Republic went from "Nazis are a joke, we don't take them seriously" to "Nazis are in the cabinet" in under four years. The cordon held because the cultural frame said it was unthinkable.
Belgian PM offered his resignation to the King, in case of and most likely to be now is re election, and who is going to win?

I'm seriously of the opinion that allowing HR departments to call programmers "engineers" was the single biggest mistake the tech industry. They aren't. They generally have no idea how to engineer anything. They don't understand risk-benefit analyses. They don't understand that in the real world, 'efficiency' and 'optimization' which address only one variable solution spaces are neither efficient or optimized.
And we've put them in charge of our econony and our government because they are really good at making things that have less features, but at least cost more and run slower!
There is a clear distinction between a develop and a Software Engineer/ Architect. Yes, you need to be a developer or programmer to become a Software Engineer/ Architect but that does not make every developer an engineer. If you HR department does not realize that then I feel sorry for your company, and your developers (I doubt they are actually programmers) as they will have more than they are capable of expected from them.

pip install keeps timing out? A step-by-step checklist
When `pip install` hangs on "Collecting..." or fails with ReadTimeoutError, go through these checks in order:
1. Run `pip install -v <package>` to see which index URL is stalling.
2. Raise the timeout and add retries: `pip install --timeout 60 --retries 5 <package>`.
3. Switch to a nearby PyPI mirror just for this install: `pip install -i <mirror-url> <package>`. To make it permanent, use `pip config set global.index-url <mirror-url>`.
4. Behind a corporate proxy? Pass `--proxy http://host:port`, or set HTTPS_PROXY. pip does not read your browser's proxy settings.
5. Seeing SSL errors? Upgrade `certifi` and pip itself first. Only add `--trusted-host` for a mirror you trust.
6. Clear a broken cache with `pip cache purge`.
For the full proxy and mirror setup, see this guide: roxi.cc/pip26.html

I was reading and looking at their discography somewhere around last month and added some of their tracks on my #heavymetal playlist ! 🤘
I think, I first started seriously listening to #metal in 2016 and it all started from 70s bands and it took almost 5-6 years until one day I discovered Venom.

Pet Rescue and Foster Volunteer Groups on Telegram: Stopping Fake Adoption Fees and Donation Scams
Animal rescues lean on group chats to coordinate fosters, transport runs, vet appointments and adoption days. The work is urgent and emotional, which unfortunately makes rescue groups attractive to scammers who know that people want to help quickly.
This post outlines a moderation approach for rescue volunteers, foster networks and adoption event groups on Telegram.
Disclosure: this guide is from the team that develops 虾宝 (Xiabao), a Telegram anti-ad and anti-scam bot that is free for group owners.
Scams that show up in rescue chats
Fake adoption listings. Photos of puppies or kittens copied from real rescue pages, offered "free to a good home" with a transport or vaccination fee paid upfront. The animal never existed.
Donation impersonation. Accounts that copy a coordinator's name and photo and post an urgent appeal with a personal payment link.
Emergency vet-bill appeals from strangers. Heartbreaking stories from accounts with no connection to the rescue, asking members to send money directly.
Pet-product spam. Bulk ads for supplements, collars and "calming" products, usually with shortened links.
Rules that protect animals and volunteers
- Every adoptable animal is posted by a named coordinator and links to the rescue's own listing.
- Donations go only to the payment details in the pinned message. Any other link is treated as a scam.
- Transport and fostering requests come from coordinators, not from new members.
- Volunteers never pay a member privately for an animal, a crate or a transport slot.
Put these four lines at the top of the pin, followed by the coordinators' usernames, so anyone can check who is genuine.
New volunteers
Rescues need new people, so screening should be light. A join question such as "Are you interested in fostering, transport, events or adopting?" sorts newcomers and filters out bulk accounts. Turn on join requests before large adoption days, when the group link is shared on posters.
Automate the background noise
Coordinators are busy with animals, not with deleting spam at midnight. A filter bot handles the bulk junk around the clock.
With Xiabao in the chat, spam links and fake appeals are removed within seconds and repeat posters are banned after a warning. Foster updates and adoption photos come through as normal. The Xiabao guide for charity and volunteer group owners covers setup and permissions; it takes a few minutes.
After an adoption day
Rotate the invite link, check members who joined during the event but never posted, and repost the donation rule. Scammers watch for big events, and a fresh pin right afterwards closes the gap.

Google Anti Gravity
Okay, I have been struggling with an issue with Gnome 50 for about a year now. The issue was that when I right clicked an App Icon on the App Grid and tried to pin it to the Dash there was a long delay, sometimes as long as 3 seconds. The same thing just moving around App Icons on the Dash or unpinning them. This was, as you can imagine, really annoying.
Today, I installed Google's Anti Gravity and after setting it up I started having Gemini analyze the issue. I was able to work out a solution in around 30 minutes! After trying to comb through the Gnome Shell code base for over a year. I had totally missed the issue. By consolidating all of my App Icons into about a dozen Folders I had created a bottle neck for Gnome Shell. It was actually and easy work around after I found out what the issue was.
This was a hard to find bug in Gnome 50. I would have likely never found it by manually pouring through the source code. I am very happy to have my system performing up to specs now. I really do love Anti Gravity! Best new tool of the year for my toolbox!

How it looms in the shadows
following me even now
in the twilight hours of my life
With nights fraught with strife
and days laced with misery
I ponder the cause
of my inequities
I forgave my foes
and forgave my friends
alas I see the ends of this means
I have forgotten to forgive me

Challenges
To those that have stood beside me, even when I lacked faith in myself, you have my everlasting gratitude, respect and love. You are the Cornerstones that my life is built upon. There is no way I could possibly repay you for all of your kindness and respect.
To those that have condescended me and have been intolerant of my flaws, even when you had no cause to be, thank you as you also have my everlasting gratitude, respect and love. You are the foundation of my life. More than any other person I know you have motivated, challenged, and driven me to success. I could not have been me, without you. There is no way I can repay this debt to you.
To those that have been apathetic and had no interest in my life, despite that I tried earnestly to be there for you, thank you as you also have my everlasting gratitude, respect and love. You have taught me humility, tolerance and compassion. Without you, I would be far less of a human being. There is no way I can ever repay my debt to you.
To those that I have never met and do not know me, just by circumstance, I can barely wait to meet you. You are my future and the person that will invest so much of your energy into building my character, wisdom and perspective to meet the challenges I will need in that era of my life. I will owe you more than I can ever repay someday, and I will do my best to be a positive contribution in your life. But how you receive me is not my option it is entirely your choice.
To those that I will never meet, due to time constraints, I want to thank you for the many ways you have improved my life though I cannot even fathom how you have. You have influenced others that have indirectly had an indirect or direct influence on me. I thank you for filling this need and I owe you a debt I can never repay.
When I tell you that you need to love your enemies, I am not being witty or sarcastic. I mean it emphatically and quite literally. How a person treats you is beyond your control. How you react and use their influence on your life is entirely up to you. They are not responsible if you fail to accept all the wonderful experiences they can bring to your life, if you let them.
No one will fail me because I will not allow that to happen. I will find a way to make their influence a positive one. If I do not meet this challenge then I have truly failed myself. You may say this is impractical or unrealistic, and I tell you it is not optional. What we do not use to build ourselves up with, will be used to bury us with.

Suspects were often examined for the "Devil’s mark" such as moles, warts, or scars, which were tested by pricking with needles to see if the accused felt pain.

Accused individuals were subjected to perilous tests, such as the "swimming" test (judicium aquae frigidae), where they were thrown into water; floating indicated guilt because the water rejected them, while sinking was proof of innocence (though many drowned).
