If you do a drone delivery to a prison, the feds will put you in prison for a year for "unlicensed operation of a drone FOR HIRE".

It follows that if they just don't like you, the feds will put you in prison for a year for getting paid to shoot B roll from a drone, without a license.

True story, probably.

Strange error of the day:

I have determined that EVERY TIME I join a Teams meeting from my work phone and from my work desktop at the same time, the desktop client says, a few seconds later that it's low on memory. (The system is not low on memory.)

I looked on the web and lots of people have "low memory" in Teams they can't otherwise explain, and there's plenty of dumb advice about clearing your temp folder and other meaningless cargo culting.

Just in case you had no idea it is a very bad idea to write your own cryptography code:

Sometimes a candidate for a new encryption algorithm gets proposed by experts, tested by experts, "really badly" cracked in a general case, and you have no idea what the crackers are saying they did.

Don't use your own crypto code. Use what everyone else uses.

October is going to be interesting for Delaware Court of Chancery (business court)'s problem child Elon Musk. And it shall be entertaining for us Musk followers. They're 90% likely to order him to finish buying Twitter, and they'll have to force him to sell off Tesla and SpaceX stock to do it. If he refuses to comply, he could go to "contempt of court" jail.

Science says the symbiotic bacteria in your gut needs fiber to thrive. Lots of fiber. Doesn't matter where from.

Eat more fiber, fewer carbs.

Apparently the Debian project is toxic and unstable. What happens if it implodes? Will that matter to the world? Should a new corporation take it over?

Starting to get old: texted 'happy birthday' and asked to talk. No reply.

A few days later, searched for death notices.

Can't imagine why Tim Pool is the only one in the media talking about this post. :^)

Donald Trump:
> Joe Biden’s second bout of Covid, sometimes referred to as the China Virus, was sadly misdiagnosed by his doctors. He instead has Dementia, but is happily recovering well. Joe is thinking of moving, part time, to one of those beautiful Wisconsin Nursing Homes, where almost 100% of the residents miraculously, and for the first time in history, had the strength and energy to vote - even if those votes were cast illegally. Get well soon, Joe!
