Norton 360 antivirus now lets you mine Ethereum cryptocurrency

NortonLifelock has added the ability to mine Ethereum cryptocurrency directly within its Norton 360 antivirus program as a way to "protect" users from malicious mining software.

This whole freenode thing blew up pretty fast. Sad to see the network go, it was the first I connected to.

Searching through roughly 570k emails with SQLite feels fast enough for me. The only reason for ElasticSearch or Sonic would be for search quality, not speed. Stack is Django + SQLite synchronising 4 mailboxes (messages + attachments stored in DB) https://share.screamingatmyscreen.com/random/emstash2.mov

I am most likely the last person who should write a book (likely starting as a series of blog posts because I don’t want to commit to any timeline :). Yet here we are with an outline for a FastAPI „web dev from scratch“ outline. Someone save us all.

15 friends joined the matrix server I setup on Saturday. Some people deleted one or multiple messengers - Signal, Keybase, WhatsApp or Battle.net. Not going to lie - feels good and scary at the same time :)
