Just going through my archives. Found this brilliant guy here who sent self-incriminating evidence to a friend.
Let's credit his friend with being an upstanding boy. Probably also black. Let's always remember not to fall into the identity trap.
Documenting these crimes is about getting some people who need to hear it to realize that there is a problem with a significant percentage of blacks that has to be solved, not that all black people are bad!

ILWACO, Washington

Federal & state agencies in Oregon & Washington are responding to a tar-like substance from an unknown source affecting a shoreline near Ilwaco, Washington, and multiple birds in northern Oregon & southern Washington.

The source is currently unknown, the U.S. Coast Guard said in a news release.

The first reports of tar balls and potentially contaminated wildlife began on May 19.

As of Tuesday afternoon, a total of 10 contaminated birds had been located at various locations extending from Lincoln City north to Long Beach, Wa.

Tar patties around the size of sand dollars were reported on Cannon Beach on Wednesday and then confirmed by the CG.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife on Thursday also reported tar patties near Lincoln City on the central Oregon Coast, according to DEQ.

Responders have collected samples of the tar balls and sent them to a lab for analysis.

I realized today that I actually have a spare Lenovo M710s which is one of the systems that is now supported by Coreboot. Any idea where I can find a guide showing how to get Coreboot installed onto the M710s ? I will also accept a link to any place that offers to install Coreboot onto it for a fee.

You'd never know it until now, but calling a group of people racist is hate speech in Canada
I look forward to seeing this enforced fairly and consistently.

The Story of Operation Warp Speed Gets Worse

"The Department of Justice agreed last year to take on Moderna’s liability for patent infringement which, given the billions #Moderna earned via federal largesse, could easily add up to billions."

Is there any text-based, ideally distributed monitoring software out there? I want a TUI that shows me (e.g. with green/red highlights) the reachability of hosts (simple ping checks) while I'm doing network maintenance. Like a really simple, curses based nagios? It would probably look like a bloomberg terminal.. (I know this wouldn't be too hard to implement.. but I can't believe it's not already out there...) #linux #TUI #monitoring #network #networking #sysadmin #software #curses #terminal

"If someone steals a CD containing a version of a GPL-covered program, does the GPL give the thief the right to redistribute that version?" The answer is somewhat complicated. Read the full answer at u.fsf.org/3kv
