[22:50] The patent for the Lego brick is 60 years old today. Here's Lego celebrating. :)
[22:24] There is a subreddit that is all about using TensorFlow, other machine learning algorithms to fake videos. A user named derpfakes spent 20 minutes to do his take on the recreation of princess Leia in Rogue One.
[22:23] Amiga floppy disks with unknown works by Andy Warhol were found. Good thing to still have this old technology around to be able and read those disks. Some time from now this whole tech will be gone, rendering other possible finds like this unreadable.
[18:54] lobste.rs linked me to a stunning visualization of the Ubuntu mascots. Made with Krita, according to the artist.
[15:18] You're in real trouble when it is raining inside your data center.
[21:58] This LSEV immediately had me think of the Dementia.
[00:03] These guys in France couldn't afford an Oculus VR headset, so they rolled up their sleeves and built their own.
[23:57] I mentioned a talk about BBSs the other day. If you liked it as much as I did, this blog post on how to run BBS Door Games on Windows 10 might be of interest to you.
[23:45] The Intonarumori noise machines are weird audio devices built using the Raspberry Pi. Quirky, but cool.
[23:22] How to run JavaScript on paper. Because why not, I guess.
[23:31] According to reddit, sudo is "a word that unlocks other words". I like that.
[23:30] I added another script to gmb that will make editing blog entries easier. Since gmb will write to a total of four files, editing those in case of a typo or an update is a bit tedious, so I invested a little time and work to make this process faster.
[23:23] As it turns out, design actually is malevolent: This Github repo shows how to track web site visitors using CSS. Aparrently blocking JavaScript is no longer sufficient.
[20:46] The Virtual Currency Girls are adressing just what their name suggests in their music. Also, merchandise may only be paid with crypto coins.

[22:37] Another reason to block scripts anywhere, anytime: Web trackers exploit browser login managers. Yuck.
[22:36] Freshly registered Skype account got locked for no apparent reason, before even adding a contact, much less sending one single message. Adding insult to injury, as I tried to log into the account via web browser to unlock it Windows 10 bluescreened. Fuck you, Microsoft. First you screw up Skype's GUI and render the whole thing next to useless, then you wont even let me use the service anymore? Seriously, fuck you.
