Cryptography question:
If you sign something and then timestamp it in a blockchain, I suppose that would be called "notarization".

What about transferring a token (e.g. a namecoin domain) to prove this and also that there is no other signature that we don't know about.
Is there a name for this ?

It's quite important for signing software updates in a way that proves that some poor activist is not receiving a special signed software update "just for them".

So, this one's rather interesting. Ever heard of a VIC-II (PAL) labelled MOS 8656R2? Well, I haven't.

Wondered why this (apparently fully functional) VIC that I got off eBay had a 8565R2 label fitted on top of it and peeled it off to find this underneath. A mistake in a production run, or ... ?

How is the most important measure of a person how many zeros their bank account has?

Why doesn't "billionaire" refer to the person making a billion people smile, for example?

Hey, @switchingsocial do you know of any "Lifesum" alternatives?

"This community-oriented nature is at the heart of #AO3's [#Archive Of Our Own] success—it was created by #fans who got tired of the capricious takedown policies of #forprofit #fanfiction #hostingsites and decided to buy their own servers, teach themselves how to code, and create a site that was exactly what they wanted, including an incredibly functional #taggingsystem that runs rings around both professional databases and billion-dollar social platforms."

10 Tricks to paint faster & better with Krita https://share.tube/videos/watch/17d33ffb-8b78-42bf-9066-be71910e5595

Testing #krita 4.2.6, I was also playing with a sketching technique where you first draw with a big brush(40px), then use the curves to lower the alpha to about a quarter, then half the radius you're working with (so then, 20), and so on till you have a detailed sketch.

Then I tried to see if I could get super-thin lines going(this is just the basic opacity flow brush at 2 px with AA enabled), but I can never really figure out how to color these. Colorize mask seems to work well too with them.

Hi !
There is an audio only option on PeerTube since 1.4.0rc1. Perhaps not the best option for an audio channel, but a very good one to broadcast everywhere. There is RSS function in PeerTube.

Require all software purchased with taxpayer money be Free and Open Source. Duh!

* Reflections from the field *

"I have deleted Windows 10 and installed Ubuntu. I will never use Windows again; Game Over.

Months of tweaking Windows 10: removing services, stopping processes, uninstalling apps, doing all sorts of hacks, I was done. Over. I can't handle this garbage anymore.

I made a final decision & switched to Linux Ubuntu.

I'm relieved.

I'm so surprised that people are still using Windows. Something is wrong."
