If it turns out recent ransomware attacks were indeed based on leaked NSA exploits, I guess NSA has some explaining to do...

Technological progress consistently amazes me:
* Reusable rockets are now a thing
* AI's beating humans in games is so last year
* Microsoft is hiring for their quantum computing lab(s) - that tech is actually maturing
* Gene editing actually works now
* Self-driving cars, doh
* Etc

I cannot even begin to imagine what the future has in store for us, but I'm really really (really) excited

#MindBlown

This is part of a larger family data management strategy to reduce dependence on corporations (esp. Google) and take control of my own data.

Following is part of that plan
- Twitter -> Mastodon
- Gmail -> ??? with own domain (Self hostet archive, though)
- Google drive, contacts, calendar -> NextCloud running on yet to be built NAS with FreeBSD
- Evernote -> TBD (possibly OwnNote)
- Task mgmt -> Wekan in bhyve container on NAS
- Home AUT -> OpenHAB
- zfs snapshots + Borg for backup

I'm considering getting my own domain for email (and other stuff), though I don't want to host the server myself. Can anyone on here recommend a good provider, preferably European due to reasons, that support custom domains?

It's often painful (FreeNAS corral) or costly (betamax, HD DVD) to be an early adopter. Early majority is often the sweet spot.

Except for Mastodon..

You know you're old when you're not adventurous enough to buy new IoT devices for your home but rather want to wait till the initial standardisation wars have settled (and until vendors have re-learnt 20 year old lessons).

where is the best place to find consolidated, up to date list of #Mastodon instances?

When you find out one of your favorite shows on Netflix has a new season available.

Very thorough article about Elon Musk's Neuralink for those interested: http://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html

It's quite long but highly recommended!

WTF GoogleMusic; I'm feeling lucky -> Wu-Tang Clan -> Cypress Hill -> LL Cool J ?!?

I guess I'm not that afraid of the robots coming for us...

I just realized that I'm getting old. Just told a joke in the office referring to a radio show a while back (i.e. that I was listening to in my teenage years) and no one got it...
