"The [resonant computing] Manifesto promises to fix everything that’s wrong on the internet right now. But you look at the authors and the signers, you’ll see the same guys who caused the present problems. These guys made it rich on the Torment Nexus and they’re now claiming they can fix it."

Good Morning #Canada
Prior to #Retirement, my last decade in business was spent in #ReverseLogistics managing major retail and manufacturer clients. Reverse logistics is the process of managing customer returns with the objective of recapturing value or ensure proper disposal. It covers activities like processing, restocking where possible, repairs, recycling, refurbishing, and resale. This company in Mississauga is relatively small in comparison to a Costco or Walmart reverse logistics warehouse but it provides a glimpse at a little known industry that deals with $880B USD in annual returns worldwide. The industry is about to enter its busiest period as consumers will return over 10% of Christmas purchases, close to 30% for clothing. In the 1st 3 months of 2026 some remarketing B2B auction sites (representing Costco, Walmart, Home Depot, Target, etc) will be liquidating 100 tractor trailer loads per day, including stuff you're about to unwrap in a few days.

Pérou: la destitution de la présidente Boluarte «n'était qu'une étape» selon les protestataires
Le Pérou continue sa descente aux enfers dans l’instabilité politique. La très impopulaire et désormais ex-présidente Dina Boluarte a été destituée dans la nuit de 9 au 10 octobre, sous la pression des chiffres sur l’insécurité records depuis le début de l’année. Mais aussi depuis que les Péruviens manifestent sans relâche tous les weekends depuis la mi-septembre pour plus de sécurité et la démission du gouvernement. Et malgré la destitution de Boluarte, ils sont encore …

Unclear to me why no one ever mentions Strongbox in #PasswordManager reviews. It is a perfectly fine PM for macOS/iOS/iPadOS that has a rich set of sync options, most of which don't involve any 2nd/3rd party storage. It stores its databases in KeePass2.x (kdbx v4) format, so it is data-compatible with the many variations of KeePass.
(I use it with SSH/SCP sync, so as long as I’m at…

Article doesn't say if the capacity for remotely-disabling machines is something the government ordinarily wants?
