It's an odd story, since until pretty recently most North American police radio was plaintext to begin with.

> hiss of communication

Allow me to speculate massively. Hiss sounds more like weak signal acquisition. Perhaps in this case, Mitnick was interfering but not defeating encryption.

Just related to Pet Sounds, I remember God Only Knows has been cited by Paul McCartney and others as their favorite song of all time. Even though the song is very odd in many ways.

You reminded me that one of Brian Wilson's favorite songs was "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes.

Since I live out-of-market of my home team, on entering the season I am once again considering putting up an OTA DVR at my parent's house and watching all the in-market games.

Are there any good out of the box or open source self-hosted Aereo-like services, that let me access OTA broadcasts in another market?

I know that things like Tablo exist, but they seem very optimized for same-network use cases rather than remote streaming.

Jellyfin with an HDHomerun is a pretty nice combo for this.

A few tidbits/notes I took:

- They'll reconfigure Crew-8 for 6 occupants for contingency evac between Starliner undock and Crew-9 arrival.

- Starliner leaving ISS autonomously early September

- Crew 9 launching no later than Sept 24th with 2 crew + 2 empty seats

- Crew 9 coming back down in ~Feb 2025

What shall we make of all of this should it succeed?

Just for fun, here's the famous pic of Gates and Allen using what looks like a Teletype Model 33 [1], and of course Ritchie and Thompson in front of a PDP-11 [2].

For years (decades!) I never understood the purpose of line editors and why VI was such an improvement. Until one day I saw the pic of Gates and Allen and suddenly realized why, and how it worked. You already had a printout of your code (or text) in front of you. If you wanted to edit the text, you used a line editor to rewrite the line it was on. After a while you could print the whole thing again if you needed.

And this is why my TRS-80's BASIC editor worked the same way. It was just like the original time-share version from Dartmouth ported to a microcomputer.

That's the first time seeing that Gates photo for me. He would've been 14 or 15 years old.

This is barely an hour from me. Thank you for this. I'm moved by the dedication to free information, especially by my own countrymen in this special place. I think I'll buy a subscription.

It makes my day whenever eastern Kentucky content shows up on here. It's such a contrast to life in the valley and it seems like our homestate might be setup well for remote work going forward, or is that just the eternal optimist in me?

Especially when youtube's early success was built on piracy. That continued for a long time even after Google's acquisition. Arguably still is a major contributor regardless of Content ID.

Between Youtube and PirateBay, who do you think has distributed more unauthorized copyrighted works?

I'm trying to imagine what that haircut would look like

daveevad · 2 years ago
Full disclosure: I haven't cut my hair in awhile. It may be influencing my architecture decisions at this point.
