Backpacking has not only expanded my photography but has given me the opportunity to see some of the most amazing places. On this Utah trip it resulted in us staying in the coolest campsite we've ever had. It's quite the drive out to the trailhead and then another 9 or so miles to this campsite. We went around bend after bend staring up at the high walls that have carved this canyon out until we found this gem of a campsite.
@Saltchuler This is a cause near and dear to my heart, as I started volunteering with th Crisis Text Line this year. It’s been the most rewarding thing I’ve done in my life for a long time.
There is one type of cybersecurity person who drives me absolutely crazy, might-just-block.gif, and it is the one who looks at any friendly and sociable internet trend that involves something that could be potentially used as a password reset question (no, I'm not talking about the fuckery like tricking people into posting their credit cards), and ruins the fun. They are the Fun Ruiner Pedant (tm).
"Don't talk about your favorite foods!"
"Don't talk about movies you like!"
"Don't talk about important moments on in your life!"
"Don't post your mom's obit, it has her maiden name!"
It's not peoples' fault that password reset methodology is fundamentally flawed, archaic, and ridiculously insecure. That's our problem to fix. And for god's sakes, everybody in infosec social spheres already knows their threat model around this information. Those are totally normal things for human beings to talk about in friendly conversation. So let's get to fixing the problems by making account security questions and processes less utterly ridiculous. It's almost 2023.
Trying to read a news story on a U.S. newspaper site is like trying to read a novel after running over it with a lawn mower.
Popups! Flashing backgrounds! One inline ad for every two paragraphs!
Firefox is consuming 100% CPU and the motherboard fan is having a roaring fit.
Chrome won't even get me past the login page.
This is the slow suicide of a once-essential, now-irrelevant information industry.
I’m lunching outside and watching the birds convene their noonish parliament, — and, like us when we’re unsure of our meeting room number, they alight on the reeds around the pond and then all shift in succession to a conifer further afield. #birds
A Strange Thing Happens to Wolves Infected by Infamous Mind-Altering Parasite : ScienceAlert
A study of 26 years' worth of wolf behavioral data, and an analysis of the blood of 229 wolves, has shown that infection with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii makes wolves 46 times more likely to become a pack leader.
Wow - this could be a huge public health win. Turns out light at ~200nm is safe for humans but inactivates viruses.

All-terrain wheelchairs arrive at U.S. parks: ‘This is life-changing’. Georgia and South Dakota are the latest states to provide off-road wheelchairs on public trails.

as an urbanite crustacean I am surrounded by wildlife, mostly human but can easily cycle or walk or be pushed in a wheelbarrow to natural surroundings such as the fish and chip shop … a yiddish traditional food site.

Save the planet in little ways # 1
Stop buying disposable ball point pens, they are clogging up our oceans and covering the earth. Use old fashioned pencils ( you can compost the sharpenings) or get yourself a fountain pen and a bottle of ink. Don't buy a cartridge pen, they just produce more plastic waste, buy a pen with a bladder!
