NPR ran a story this morning about weather warnings before the Texas flash flood. Much of the focus in network news has been on the lack of cell phone warnings due, in part, to spotty coverage. Turns out that NOAA has VHF weather broadcasts throughout most of the country including the Guadalupe River. A basic receiver costs about $20 on Amazon. Mo Ranch may have been listening and evacuated because of those broadcasts. We probably won’t know until the civil suits start.
@Robgbysea I don’t care where you live I think everyone should have a weather radio. I can actually get them at my grocery stores because I live in a hurricane prone area. I know that Lowe’s, Home Depot and Costco, Ace Hardware and many other stores carry them. You really don’t have to give Jeff Bezos your money.
I've spent not-insignificant amount of time at protests in the US, looking for signs of IMSI catchers and never found anything, so when I saw this, my ears perked up:
@Linux The alternative to not bringing a phone is to take advantage of its power switch. Just turn it off and you'll have the phone available for the rest of the day.

The image displays a webpage from Baker Hughes, focusing on the "Rig Count" section. The page features a green header with the company's logo and the title "Rig Count." Below the header, there is a table titled "Rig Count Overview & Summary Count." The table is divided into columns: Area, Last Count, Count, Change from Prior Count, Date of Prior Count, Change from Last Year, and Date of Last Year's Count.
The table provides data for three areas: U.S., Canada, and International. For the U.S., the last count is 539 rigs, a decrease of 8 from the prior count on 27 June 2025, and a decrease of 46 from the last year's count on 05 July 2024. Canada has 151 rigs, an increase of 11 from the prior count on 27 June 2025, and a decrease of 24 from the last year's count on 05 July 2024. The International area shows 913 rigs, an increase of 27 from the prior count on 2025 May, and a decrease of 44 from the last year's count on 2024 June.
The background of the table is green, and the text is in white, making the information stand out clearly. The overall layout is clean and organized, with a focus on presenting the data in a straightforward manner.

A imagem apresenta um texto em português sobre Flávio Bolsonaro, senador do PL-RJ. O texto começa com o título "Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), senador" e descreve que ele é o primeiro membro da família Bolsonaro a se manifestar publicamente. Ele escreveu no aplicativo X que Lula "conseguiu ferrar o Brasil". Em seguida, Flávio critica as ações de Lula, afirmando que o resultado do "vexame da sua política internacional ideologizada" é a situação atual do país. Ele compara a taxa de 50% de Trump com a política de Lula, argumentando que ambos têm causado insatisfação entre os brasileiros, que não aguentam mais pagar tantos impostos.

Mastodon 4.4 is out now, and it brings changes for profiles and lists and also lays the groundwork for quote posts. With #profiles, you can feature specific hashtags so that people can see all the posts you’ve tagged with those hashtags. Mastodon is also making a change to how #pinned posts work: you can still pin up to five posts onto your profile, but they’ll now show up as a single carousel -- so you don’t have to scroll down as far to see new posts. When you’re looking at a profile, Mastodon can now tell you how many people you follow also follow that person.
For lists, Mastodon says that Creating and managing #lists has been significantly streamlined -- it’s easier than ever to add and remove accounts from your lists both directly from profiles and from your own follows and followers listings.
And with #quote posts, which Mastodon already said were in the works, the platform is doing what it calls “part one” of implementation.
“Since Mastodon runs on over 8,000 independent servers that together form the platform you know, releasing features like this requires a two-pronged approach:
first we release code that supports processing and displaying this new format, and then release code that allows our users to actively use the feature,” Mastodon says.
With 4.4, “you will be able to see quotes from compatible Fediverse platforms (including future Mastodon releases),” but you won’t actually be able to quote posts until Mastodon’s 4.5 release. theverge.com/news/700991/masto…

The image depicts a futuristic landscape with a large, glowing yellow sun partially visible on the horizon, casting a warm light across the scene. The sky is a gradient of dark green to blue, dotted with stars, suggesting a night sky. The foreground features a vast, flat expanse with a grid-like pattern, possibly a cityscape or industrial area, with bright blue lines running parallel, resembling train tracks or pathways. On either side of this expanse, there are rocky formations with jagged edges, and structures that appear to be part of a futuristic city or industrial complex. The overall color palette includes dark greens, blues, and yellows, creating a contrast between the natural and artificial elements. The scene is devoid of any visible life forms or vehicles, emphasizing the vastness and isolation of the environment.

Ben Askren ha condiviso un aggiornamento toccante sulle sue condizioni di salute dopo mesi di silenzio, raccontando la drammatica esperienza vissuta tra maggio e luglio. In un video pubblicato sui suoi canali social (al momento della pubblicazione FB è ancora fermo al post di marzo e IG è non raggiungibile – instagram.com/benaskren/ ) , l’ex lottatore UFC ha spiegato di aver subito un doppio trapianto di polmoni e il coma durato un mese.
“Non vi aggiorno da un po’ e penso che ve lo meritiate,” ha detto Askren nel video. “Ho appena letto il diario di mia moglie perché non ricordo nulla dal 28 maggio al 2 luglio. Nessun ricordo. Nessuna idea di cosa sia successo. È come un film, una cosa assurda.”
Askren ha poi rivelato un dettaglio scioccante: “Sono morto quattro volte, il mio cuore si è fermato per circa 20 secondi. Non è l’ideale, lo sapete bene. Ma ho ricevuto un doppio trapianto di polmoni e sono riuscito a superarlo. Sto recuperando forza, sto imparando di nuovo a usare tutto. Ieri mi sono pesato: 147 libbre (66,6 kg). Non ero così leggero da quando avevo 15 anni. Ho perso 50 libbre (oltre 22 kg) in 45 giorni. È stata una battaglia. Ovviamente non ricordo quasi nulla.”
Dal video si vede che è messo ancora molto male
Ricordo che L’assicurazione non ha coperto l’operazione e che i soldi e che ha avuto i due milioni necessari grazie alle donazioni. Jake Paul (che con Askren ci ha combattuto sul ring) non più tardi di una settimana fa ha detto che era disgustoso che Dana White non avessa dato una mano e ha promesso di farlo lui…
Durante l’aggiornamento, Askren si è commosso parlando del supporto ricevuto: “La cosa che mi ha colpito di più è stato tutto l’amore che ho sentito. È stato come se avessi potuto assistere al mio stesso funerale. Ricordo ancora, 30 anni fa, quando Dave Schultz morì: tutti raccontavano quanto lo avevano amato. Ma lui non ha mai potuto ascoltarlo. Io sì.”
“L’affetto della comunità della lotta è stato incredibile. È stato meraviglioso. Ora sono più motivato che mai a restituire qualcosa, a fare la mia parte. Vi voglio bene, vi ringrazio. È stato difficile, non solo per me, ma per tutta la mia famiglia e la mia comunità. Spero che apprezziate questo aggiornamento. Magari, un giorno, io e Amy potremo raccontare tutto nei dettagli.”
Ben Askren, ex campione Bellator e ONE Championship, ha chiuso la sua carriera da professionista con un record di 19 vittorie, 2 sconfitte e un No Contest. Il suo ultimo incontro in MMA risale all’ottobre del 2019.

A imagem mostra um tweet do perfil oficial de Lula ([@]LulaOficial) com um fundo que incorpora as cores da bandeira do Brasil: verde, amarelo, azul e vermelho. O tweet, escrito em português, afirma que qualquer medida de elevação de tarifas de forma unilateral será respondida à luz da Lei brasileira de Reciprocidade Econômica. Ele destaca a soberania, o respeito e a defesa intransigente dos interesses do povo brasileiro como valores que orientam a relação do Brasil com o mundo. ― A imagem mostra um tweet do perfil oficial de Lula ([@]LulaOficial) com um fundo colorido que inclui as cores da bandeira do Brasil: verde, amarelo, azul e vermelho. O tweet afirma que a informação sobre um suposto déficit comercial entre o Brasil e os Estados Unidos é falsa. Ele menciona que as estatísticas do próprio governo dos Estados Unidos comprovam um superávit desse país no comércio de bens e serviços com o Brasil, no valor de 410 bilhões de dólares ao longo dos últimos 15 anos. ― A imagem mostra um tweet do usuário [@]LulaOficial, identificado como Lula, com um fundo que incorpora as cores da bandeira do Brasil: verde, amarelo, azul e vermelho. O tweet aborda a rejeição da sociedade brasileira a conteúdos de ódio, racismo, pornografia infantil, golpes, fraudes, discursos contra os direitos humanos e a liberdade democrática nas plataformas digitais. Ele enfatiza que, no Brasil, a liberdade de expressão não se confunde com agressão ou práticas violentas, e que todas as empresas, nacionais e estrangeiras, estão submetidas à legislação brasileira. ― A imagem mostra um tweet do perfil oficial de Lula ([@]LulaOficial) com um fundo dividido em quatro cores: verde, amarelo, azul e vermelho, que representam as cores da bandeira do Brasil. O tweet é uma resposta à manifestação pública do presidente norte-americano Donald Trump, publicada em uma rede social na tarde da quarta-feira (9). O texto destaca que o Brasil é um país soberano com instituições independentes que não aceitarão ser tutelados por ninguém. Além disso, o tweet afirma que o processo judicial contra aqueles que planejaram o golpe de estado é de competência apenas da Justiça Brasileira e, portanto, não está sujeito a qualquer tipo de interferência ou ameaça que fira a independência das instituições nacionais.

Thanks @jackyan. I've used archive.today to take a copy of those pages, and swapped out the links in the OP.
Those sites seem to serve static pages, without the elaborate jiggery-pokery the Wayback Machine gets up to. So hopefully they won't get slashdotted ...
Archive.org has mangled some of my very basic pages from the 1990s so I’d use archive.today (and similar), too. I used to code & instead of & for ampersands (since they rendered correctly enough on Netscape) but Wayback Machine insists on adding a semicolon (but not amp) in a random place. Archive.today seems to give more faithful reproductions. Really glad you got it sorted.
For those 2. My long term plan is to move the Disintermedia blog to a community-hosted service (Ghost is a favourite but I'm still evaluating options).
When it comes time, I'll try to write a bash script that goes through the most complete archive of the CoActivate version, copies each post into the new one. Bonus extra; change each timestamp so it's correct according to the original publication date. Double bonus: do the same for the SubStack version.
