ICYMI: In July I presented at the Circle of HOPE about the amazing things that the Qubes operating system makes possible, like
- opening email attachments in "disposable VMs"
- managing anonymous identities with Whonix
- keeping secrets like password databases, PGP keys, and sensitive documents stored in vaults without Internet access
- anonymously connecting to VPNs over Tor

Brazil mourns blaze at National Museum, seeks answers to 'tragedy foretold'
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Brazil on Monday mourned a fire that destroyed its National Museum, a cherished historical repository that lacked a sprinkler system and was reeling from years of financial neglect, making its destruction a “tragedy foretold.”

I'm not happy with how the Wil Wheaton situation was resolved. An admin was overwhelmed with frivolous reports about him and felt forced to exile him. I've said before that I think it sets a dangerous precedent on how a large group of people can mobilize to drive anyone off the fediverse. Mob rule is universally dangerous: Mods and admins must examine evidence and decide based on wrongdoing and danger, and not on how many times someone was reported.
What's the port above the VGA port? Some obscure version of HDMI?

@micahflee i couldn't help but feel super dirty and subversive when i installed *debian* from the windows store earlier this year. me from even a couple years ago would've thought it was a bad joke. (it worked and it was awesome. the windows linux subsystem is so great.)
Installing Ubuntu from the Windows Store this is gonna be awesome

when you overexpose night photos and you have a lot of moon light and no artificial light you get pictures which look like they are taken on a sunny day - just with stars.
