What's wrong with these birch trees?
What's wrong with these birch trees? - sh.itjust.works
Apologies if the photo quality is insufficient. In a particular bit of forest, I found an area with a large birch population that all seemed to be suffering from the same issue. Something is causing the leaves to first stripe green and yellow, then turn brown/black, and while there are new leaf buds forming, trees are seemingly losing the leaves faster than they can replace them. There are other areas with birch trees on the same forest that don’t have this issue at all. In the affected area, some trees have only one or two leaves left with any green in them at all. This is in New England.

[2019 flashback article] Amid Trump Tariffs, Farm Bankruptcies And Suicides Rise
[2019 flashback article] Amid Trump Tariffs, Farm Bankruptcies And Suicides Rise - sh.itjust.works
Trump was on Univision yesterday for a town hall, and during one exchange he made a huge deal about how great he was for farmers. Additionally, he’s been talking about crazy tariffs again at recent events like the Economic Club of Chicago. With those things in mind, I thought it would be relevant to take a quick walk down memory lane. It’s also worth noting, the article is pre-COVID - August 30, 2019. As many people with functioning memories will recall, things would not go on to get better from there.
Iran's Trump hack and assassination plot "act of war," Lindsey Graham says
Iran's Trump hack and assassination plot "act of war," Lindsey Graham says - sh.itjust.works
Iran’s alleged plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump and hack the Trump campaign amount to “an act of war,” according to Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. Just days after a would-be assassin’s bullet grazed Trump’s ear in July, the FBI announced that Iran had allegedly been separately plotting to kill the former president. Federal officials later revealed that Iran had hacked and stolen confidential information from the Trump campaign. …

Setting up a new Debian Docker Swarm
Setting up a new Debian Docker Swarm - sh.itjust.works
After seeing someone else posting their struggles with getting Docker running on their system, I thought I might share my process for setting up new Docker nodes. I don’t make any representations about my way being the right way, or the best way, but this way has been working for me. I have been playing around with a swarm, but if you aren’t setting up a swarm you can just omit the swarm commands and some of the firewall allows (keep what you need open, obviously, like 22 for SSH if you’re using it). Similarly, if you aren’t connecting to a NAS, you can leave out the part about mounting external storage. # new Docker Swarm node setup from fresh Debian Netinst # as root, all nodes apt install sudo usermod -aG sudo [user] logout # as [user], all nodes sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt install fail2ban rkhunter ufw unattended-upgrades ca-certificates curl -y sudo ufw allow 22 sudo ufw allow 2377 sudo ufw allow 7946 sudo ufw allow 4789 sudo ufw enable sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc echo \ "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian \ $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null sudo apt update sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin -y sudo usermod -aG docker [user] ## Shared Storage Stuff, all nodes ## nano ~/.smbcredentials # paste the following: # username=[cluserUser] # password=[clusterPW] # # add mount point for shared storage sudo nano /etc/fstab # add the following to the bottom: # /// /home/[user]/share cifs credentials=/home/[user]/.smbcredentials 0 0 # on main node only docker swarm init --advertise-address # copy the join command, we'll need it next # on any additional nodes, paste the command copied above docker swarm join <...all the rest of the command...> # for each docker container, on any manager node mkdir ~/share/ && cd ~/share/ # copy relevant compose.yml into the folder # if necessary, also create any needed directories docker compose up -d docker compose down docker stack deploy -c compose.yml
Another way to think of it: This time lapse takes you from the dawn of farming all the way through the dawn of writing. It just seems so cool to me.
An interesting look at the early spread of farming
An interesting look at the early spread of farming - sh.itjust.works
Credit: TimeMaps [https://timemaps.com] As part of a personal educational journey, I’ve been exploring early human cultures. There are a lot of great websites I’ve encountered along the way, but this one had escaped my radar until yesterday. I grabbed the map portion from a series of posts they had about early farming and strung them all together into a gif so I could visualize it better for myself, and it ended up looking pretty neat so it seemed crazy not to share it. The green parts of each slide show you where the farming was happening at the time. The first slide represents 10000 BCE, and each slide after is dated 1000 years further ahead in time, all the way up to the last slide at 3000 BCE, as outlined by the TimeMaps folks.
