The First Thing They Burn: Why War Always Comes for Beauty
When the Mongol army sacked Baghdad in 1258, they did not stop at killing the Caliph. They threw the contents of the House of Wisdom into the Tigris. Manuscripts on astronomy, medicine, mathematics, philosophy, and poetry turned the river black with ink for days. Killing people was not enough. What those people had made, what they had thought and dreamed and rendered into form, that had to be annihilated too.

Hey @…
I want to migrate my email to you. My plan was
1. Set up hosting with you
2. Move the contents of my IMAP folders over
3. Point my MX records at you on the old DNS provider
4. Let everything stabilise
5. Transfer the domain to you and point the MX records at you from you.
Is that sensible? I've got as far…

Scholarly (history) tables of contents, EN vs FR:
English: no more than 3 words per chapter title. These are merely signifiers, empty, regardless of length, until one has digested the argument each lays out. Why waste ink and paper on such pointless abstraction?
French: describing a chapter in fewer words than are contained in the chapter betrays the essence of the work. Still, we know that nothing is perfect and brevity has its merits so here is our 27-page table of contents.

Well that escalated. What started as needing to replace a broken washing machine with one we've had in storage turned into relocating a fridge and shelving unit into the garage, taking down a cupboard and finding homes for the contents and ordering a storage unit for the dining room which I've had a hankering to do for a while. We would have had to move everything anyway for the air pump installation in May so we're ahead of ourselves.

The #ArtemisII mission has quite an impact on ... the operation of the James Webb Space Telescope as #JWST operations plan currently assumes roughly a quarter of the usual #DeepSpaceNetwork (DSN) access will be available, which has a direct impact on the number of science visits that can be executed and the volume of data that can be downlinked."

Zero Knowledge (About) Encryption: A Comparative Security Analysis of Three Cloud-based Password Managers
Zero Knowledge Encryption is a term widely used by vendors of cloud-based password managers. Although it has no strict technical meaning, the term conveys the idea that the server, who stores encrypted password vaults on behalf of users, is unable to learn anything about the contents of those vaults. The security claims made by vendors imply that this should hold even if the server is fully malicious. This threat model is justified in practice by the high sensitivity of vault data, which makes …

2 days ago, I had a shelf (and the contents of it, which included literal ROCKS due to a kids' "rock painting kit") fall on me. It left a nice bloody cut right next to my eye, and I haven't repaired the shelf yet because I'm petty enough to hold grudges against inanimate fuckin' objects.

The other one I truly love is GitUp (https://gitup.co). Its visualization handles certain specific tasks better than anything else — tasks where I’m more concerned about the shape of the commit graph than the contents of individual commits.
Because of the way it does live updates of repo state and offers a whole-commit-graph-level undo, I’ll sometimes keep it open in the background while doing some fiddly thing in another tool (Fork, CLI, whatever) just so I can see what the ^*@# is happening.
Alas, its lack of support for commit signing means I use it less and less.
