    I Believed These Four Lies

    Another something I stumbled across. I posted it here because, well: Do you seek the truth? I mean, REALLY seek it? Or do you just kindof skirt around the edges of what you THINK is the truth until it starts getting uncomfortable, and then stop? Being honest is hard. Seeking the truth is...

    Who's heard Little Richard sing "Shake a Hand"?

    I didn't even know there WAS a sequel! I found it by accident.

    I think I may change distro

    Just a note, when you start building your world, I would suggest making /var/tmp/portage be a ramdisk. 4G should be plenty. Depending on what you are compiling, 1G might be sufficient. All of your compiles happen on /var/tmp/portage, so making it ramdisk will dramatically speed things up...

    I think I may change distro

    I ended up building a Gentoo server to replace a Debian server I have, precisely because I got tired of faffing about with systemd (plus Debian does some things that, to my way of thinking, are just plain WEIRD).

    Eclipse Pics

    I have an 80 mm Meade f/5 telescope (80 mm primary lens) with a 6.3 mm secondary lens, about 60x magnification, with a home-made solar filter (by home-made, I mean that I used a proper solar filter attached to a hand-built mount for the telescope). The camera is a chinesium no-name brand that I...

    Eclipse Pics

    My family and I made the trek to Atkins Arkansas to see the eclipse (it's only about a 3.5 hour drive from where I live). I've uploaded the photos and videos to my web-site: Eclipse Pics Hope you all like them. I took them with my 80mm telescope and a cheapie camera that mounted on the...

    XZ Backdoor discovered

    IMO this was a carefully planned and orchestrated attack, probably for a state actor. I just don't see someone doing this for the LOLs.

    Hacking Small Electric Motors

    Dude, I have been hit by everything in the frequency spectrum, from DC to Light, and from 12 volts to 120,000 volts. Some of it tingled, some of it knocked me on my butt, and frankly I'm amazed I don't glow at night, LOL.

    Hacking Small Electric Motors

    Oh, if only! That would be too easy. The fan hub is asymmetrical, so you can only mount the fan one way and still have it clear the housing properly.
