The paper describes the campsite as being surrounded by hazelnut forest. Hazelnuts are 50% fat. Melting down bones was NOT "the only way to get enough fat to live."

#Infosec question:

When receiving an incoming link with a referral header from a Mastodon instance with 470 users, how easy is it to determine exactly which individual clicked on the link?

What additional information is needed? How hard is it to get that additional information?

More things should be opt-in.

Does anyone know if it's possible to plug a mini-PC into a laptop and use the laptop's keyboard/monitor?
