Sadly couldn't join myself (wife wasn't feeling good and wanted me to stay home and help parent while she napped) but my SAR team participated in a great inter-agency training this past weekend.
It's always nice to practice alongside volunteers from other teams that we work with on real incidents and get to know each other without the pressure of a real emergency.
One note: I half feel like there should be a CW on this post for mentioning law enforcement in a positiv…

March 2024:
As rains continue to fill local lakes and reservoirs,
onlookers are eagerly anticipating seeing the water of Napa County’s Lake Berryessa overflow into its funnel-like spillway, dubbed
“the Glory Hole,”
which channels water 200 feet straight down near Monticello Dam and into Putah Creek on the other side.
During these overflows, the water flowing into the hole looks like the drain of a giant bathtub, or a wormhole to another dimension.
For those…

The Dutch Data Protection Authority, the national privacy watchdog, told Het Financieele Dagblad that it has counted dozens of such AI-related data breach reports so far this year.

Well that's an easy way to distribute the rest of stickers: I left a carton box about 20*20*20 cm somewhere, with the rest of my stickers. It has my name and my DECT number on it.
If you find it, please share its content. Or call me. #39c3
Update: found it. And as intended it's almost empty

AVON: So. Those little monsters give us a breather.
TARRANT: Not that it'll do us much good without bracelets to get us up to the Liberator.

This was written by an old friend and I found it pretty packed with good info. It’s also an example of using NotebookLM for research and content development. I found this inspiring enough to give it a try. I’ve found that it is a “Centaur" enabling tech that helps one to create on their own the overall content and leaving details to the NotebookLM tooling.

SLOs Can’t Catch a Black Swan: A Classification Framework for Thinking About Incidents -Geoff White
"Your SLOs can be green, and your systems can still be falling over. That doesn’t mean SLOs are broken. It means they were never designed to describe every class of risk we encounter in complex systems.
I’ve released version 1.0 of SLOs Can’t Catch a Black Swan as an open, living framework hosted on GitHub.
This is not a book you read once, and it’s not something you consult in the middle of an outage. It’s a way to think more clearly about incidents—across the incident lifecycle.”

Calling ICE or DHS a “law enforcement” organization is a joke.
They made no attempt to follow the law while there.
They were given permission to break the law, not follow it.
That has been their training,
and they have been following their training.
So if we pass new law why do we think they will follow it?

People who felt more connected to nature also reported higher well-being.
Researchers who study people’s relationship with the natural world often use the term
“nature connectedness.”
This phrase doesn’t simply mean going hiking or visiting a park.
Nature connectedness refers to the extent to which people see nature as part of who they are
– whether they feel an emotional bond with the natural world and experience a sense of oneness with it.
Someone who has…
