Just #signedup to the #gym - that is my main #christmas #present to myself. It's a lot of money over the course of the year, but #longterm my #health is worth more. Also the current place I'm living is quite rough and I'm liable to get stabbed.
Looks like #russia are really #struggling right now: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ffzO1EFWOiw The #sanctions are starting to take effect, and it appears they will come off much worse in the #longterm . They also appear to be under- #funding their #war in #ukraine , only just about #paying for their new #recruits . The problem is that they will become increasingly desperate, which makes them hard to predict...
#french finally getting #onboard with tighter #immigration controls: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/t.. It would be great if they would stop sending them across the #channel . The #eu needs a hard long think about its #longterm #immigration #policies .
Pretty crazy #openssl #heartbleed #security #patch #inbound that affects pretty much everything, including #tor https://xeiaso.net/blog/openssl-3.x-secv.. Jesus this will be bad. Tonnes of #embedded and #longterm #systems have zero possibility of #upgrading ...
Ouch, #birthrates in the #uk are now well below #replacement rates: https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/fertil.. In the #longterm - this means that unless corrected, we will experience a large #ageing #population like #japan and #china has.
#wework is such a mess... https://www.axios.com/10-trillion-mirage.. A great #hackernews comment on this though: "Im telling everybody I know to take advantage of it now while #softbank is still footing most of the bill." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=281.. May as well, just don't make any #longterm plans based on this product...
Ouch, an old #domain that wasn't #nenewed for a #video #host #service was purchased by a #porn host and all the old #embeds now server porn: https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/22/22589.. It does hint towards us needing a better solution to #longterm content, or at least some kind of method to ensure the #embed was created by the person we believe it was!
I really like the idea of completely #prefab #homes - but this is too costly for what it is: https://www.boxabl.com/ I would like to one day be able to buy an #offgrid version, somewhat like a #motorhome but a little more #spacious and kitted out. Not unlike a #caravan - but more suitable for #longterm living.
