Along similar (and superior lines) to the recent post I made about a federated tracker.

This is a good start toward building a backup of archive.org’s cache in a way that is much more difficult for fascist regimes to target.

A new model to explain dark matter based on observations of a distant galaxy that is far more evolved than it should be according to the standard model at such a distance.

This makes me feel very insignificant. In very dense galaxies, imagine the evolutionary cycle of living beings with a quicker evolutionary timescale?

EFF is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mark Klein, a bona fide hero who risked civil liability and criminal prosecution to help expose a massive spying program that violated the rights of millions of Americans. Mark didn’t set out to change the world. For 22 years, he was a telecommunications technician for AT&T, most of that in San Francisco. But he always had a strong sense of right and wrong and a commitment to privacy. Mark not only saw how it works, he had the documents to prove it. When the New York Times reported in late 2005 that the NSA was engaging in spying inside the U.S., Mark realized that he had witnessed how it was happening. He also realized that the President was not telling Americans the truth about the program. And, though newly retired, he knew that he had to do something. He showed up at EFF’s front door in early 2006 with a simple question: “Do you folks care about privacy?”  We did. A

I think I’ll use this for custom setups for non-techies.

In this video I restore a Rare Swedish Military Watch from Lemania, a now-defunct Swiss watch manufacturer. This model was exclusively sold to the Swedish military during the 1950s, named "Tg 195" (which isn't truely known what it stands for) and it has a very special stop/reset and start function. While rare worldwide, it is slightly more common in Sweden due to its original distribution.

I purchased this watch at an auction at a great discount since several parts were missing, preventing it from functioning properly. Additionally, I didn’t verify with the auction house whether the watch was working—I got caught up in the bidding frenzy! 😆 Tasks in This Project

*Disassembly & Inspection The first step was to take the watch apart and inspect all the components. I needed to be careful as there was high radioactive radiation emitting from the watch dial and its hands. Something not shown in the video was an i

I worked with Darius Khondji once; it was undoubtedly one of the highlights of my career. He was an absolute gentleman.

I got to chat with him after work one day when we wrapped early in Newport. I will never forget what I said to him at a dockside Newport bar (which he quickly and humbly dismissed):

“Mr. Khondji. It is an honor to meet you. Se7en is a photochemical masterpiece.”

It really bums me out that this YouTube channel credited Fincher with all of Darius’s amazing work.

I became a filmmaker because of Darius’s brilliant cinematography.

I love this guy’s style of iteration. A truly talented mechanical engineer.

This guy always does a really great job. I love that he doesn’t ramble in my ear the whole time.

I’ve learned so much about welding, machining, boring, hydraulics, and most of all: doing things the right way quickly from this channel. Abom79 used to scratch this itch and I do sometimes watch his channel but for some reason, this is even more entertaining.
