If you get an email from a big company saying you're a match for a job, and then asks you to log in using Facebook, you're staring down the barrel of a scam. https://www.pickr.com.au/news/2025/scammers-turn-to-fake-job-emails-and-fake-facebook-what-to-do #howto #news #online #internetsecurity #mcafee #phishing #scams
#Science teacher Bruce Yeany turns toilet plungers into #physics lessons by demonstrating projectile motion. While the spinning plunger looks chaotic, its center of mass follows the same parabolic curve as any thrown object—baseballs, javelins, or plungers all obey the same laws.
Using LED lights attached to different parts of the plunger and filming in darkness, Yeany makes the physics visible. The footage shows that rotation doesn't change the fundamental trajectory—the center of rotation traces a perfect parabola just like a ball would.
blog! “Convert Shotwell Photo Metadata to Digikam Metadata”
Mostly notes to myself.
Shotwell stores most of its information in a database. Which I lost. Because I'm an idiot.
But a bunch of metadata is also stored in the image's EXIF metadata!
Most importantly is the "Original File Name" which should become the "Description" in DigiKam. Unfortunately,…

Convert Shotwell Photo Metadata to Digikam Metadata
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/06/convert-shotwell-photo-metadata-to-digikam-metadata/
Mostly notes to myself.
Shotwell stores most of its information in a database. Which I lost. Because I'm an idiot.
But a bunch of metadata is also stored in the image's EXIF metadata!
Most importantly is the "Original File Name" which should become the "Description" in DigiKam. Unfortunately, there's no way to copy those values automatically on import.
So here's a one-liner which will read the "Original File Name" and store it in the "Title" EXIF - ready for DigiKam to parse!

Bashexiftool "-XMP-dc:Title<XMP-getty:OriginalFileName" whatever.jpgIf you want to make sure any existing Title isn't overwritten, use:
Bashexiftool "-XMP-dc:Title<${XMP-getty:OriginalFileName}" -if "not defined $XMP-dc:Title" whatever.jpgFinally, to do it recursively, across all files:
Bashexiftool -r "-XMP-dc:Title<${XMP-getty:OriginalFileName}" -if "not defined $XMP-dc:Title" /path/to/imagesFor everyone going to the #nokings #protest tomorrow, here is a guide, both PDF and video versions.

This Pride Month, there are many reasons you might want to protest & fight for your rights.

Your smartphone is an essential tool to organize and report, but it can also make you vulnerable to the mass surveillance many protests are targeted with.
Here’s how to prepare your device before a protest to minimize your risk: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/01/23/activists-guide-securing-your-smartphone/

Die @digitale_linke hat einen guten Plan, wie wirklich soziale Medien aussehen sollten. Und sie hat ihn heute veröffentlicht.
Spoiler: Das Fediverse kommt diesem Ideal am nächsten, aber auch hier lässt sich z.B. organisatorisch noch einiges verbessern.
Ich wünsche dem Papier viele Leser:innen nicht nur in der Partei @dielinke.
Offenlegung: Ich habe zwei spätere Entwürfe korrekturgelesen. Bin ja noch nicht lange dabei.

Capturing how I have started programming recently. In an md markdown document, I just weave in eev's red star lines and pitch other lines. Since eev 'inhabits other things' naturally, eepitch makes plain markdown into a powerful interactive evaluation mode.
The eepitching includes #shell #lisp #elisp #commonLisp and my #softwareIndividuals #KRF in the kind of freeform medley it lends itself to.
