everyone is spying on you from your phone to car. Trillions of miles of data: Your car is spying on you, and it's only just the beginning https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260513-your-car-is-spying-on-you-its-about-to-get-worse
From your weight and facial expressions to your destination, cars collect a startling amount of data about you. Some of it may even raise your insurance costs. But you can take some simple steps to limit what they know about you.

(❤️💜️💚️) on your phone - and show it to someone, and they reply by showing the same 3 emojis - or simply "nod and smile" - you get away "for free".
You're invited.
It's a gift.
You may remember them well.
By the workers and everyone "in position" to let something "be good for once".

"As mentioned in an earlier blog post, the RAC had been investigating FFV1/MKV as a possible preservation standard for over 6 years.
[...]
We also realize that the preservation decisions we make now greatly impact both the longevity and the future accessibility of our archival holdings, particularly in regard to increasingly obsolete magnetic media."
I have manually created over several hundred-thousand digital filesystem objects on my storage(s).
Even way more blocks, the filesystem must keep assigned and working properly.
The whole world trust the filesystem to keep those bits in order and accessible.
Why not trust the filesystem to do the same with more objects - and split everything into xattr-annotated objects?
It'd be doing the same thing: Simply for /more/ objects.
To all #VHS and analog video capture people:
Just found this!
https://github.com/oyvindln/vhs-decode
It contains /a lot/ of detailed info on analog video signals, and claims to be able to decode the captured FM signal.
I'd loooove to test it.
Got no time right now. But looks very interesting... 📼
What's your opinion on using the default unix "file" tool vs DROID to roughly-and-quicky-identify mixed data sets?

Interesting too literally see how little-to-nothing this man cares about "the people's voices and opinions".
I especially like the 'flexibility' requirement in Wikidata's (design-)requirements for their data-model:
"Flexibility: accessing and re-purposing data should be supported; the utility of the data should not be limited to one context"
Goes towards #DataCentricParadigm.
Think of "applications" as "context".

I love #Debian as role model for keeping my tech-foundations stable - with non-disruptive updates:
keeping things consistent, reliable and stable.
Big thanks to everyone contributing to this guild-quality style!
