September 15th will be the 30th anniversary of the release of the film "Hackers".
Not the best plot, but I love the music, the aesthetic, the sheer enjoyment the characters get from their computers and the net.
The day before is a Sunday, so a good day to re-watch it :)
War, children It's just a shot away
The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter (Official Visualizer)
"Gimme Shelter" is the opening track of the band's 1969 album Let It Bleed. The song covers the brutal realities of war, including murder, rape and fear.

Your eyes are not deceiving you... I got an Apple TV 1st Gen, the only x86 based model (it uses a Pentium M as its CPU) booting Windows XP Service Pack 3! For reals!
This was possible through a small security flaw in the Apple TV's firmware and boot process... while the Apple TV looks for a boot.efi file on its boot partition and requires it to be a Mach-O binary to be able to boot, it doesn't actually care about the actual contents of the file! So by that note, you can wrap a kernel or bootloader from another OS into a Mach-O file and name it boot.efi, and the Apple TV won't care and will happily boot it! So after this little escapade of cursed computing, you know Linux is next!

The old methods of dealing with anti-democratic forces have failed. Congress is not going to save us. The courts are not going to save us. Voting is not going to save us.
We need a new playbook to actually fight corruption and greed - the root causes of our current situation.
Here are Five Actions to Save Democracy, that you can start right now.

There was a *lot* of critical work done at #18F. I'm trying to capture the most universally useful documents over on my policy website - I've started with De-Risking Government Technology Guide.
PRs of other documents welcome!
Happy Cyberpunk Day to all who celebrate! On this date in 1990, the US Secret Service raided Steven Jackson Games seizing 300 floppy disks including the GURPS Cyberpunk TTRPG in connection to a Bell South memo describing how their 911 service was implemented. The USSS was sued and ordered to pay $300k in damages and court fees for the illegal raid. #hackThePlanet
