Hello World!
I have joined a few days ago but have not had time to write an #introduction post.
I live in Italy, I work in video games, and in my spare time I play tabletop games with my friends (we are well into our forties, but have been playing together ever since we were teenagers), fiddle with bash scripting, and read (currently reading "Thinking, Fast and Slow".
I am interested in off grid living, privacy, the small web, and technology.

Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s spy industry connections: Leaked emails show Epstein’s attempts to dabble in security tech—across borders—in the last years of his life.

Distributed Denial of Secrets Ehud Barak emails Leak Archive.
After his first arrest for sex crimes, Jeffrey Epstein tried to get into a new line of work: surveillance. In 2015, he partnered with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to invest in a security tech startup called Reporty Homeland Security, now known as Carbyne. Leaked emails show that Epstein was using Barak to seek out opportunities in the surveillance industry and build connections with powerful figures around the globe, including American businessman Peter Thiel, the former director of Israeli signals intelligence, and two people in Russian President Vladimir Putin's circle.After he was first caught sexually exploiting teenage girls, Epstein had pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution in 2008; he served a little over a year in detention. Meanwhile, he invested his wealth in bizarre projects, including a ranch to breed women with his DNA and "efforts to identify a mysterious particle that might trigger the feeling that someone is watching you," according to The New York Times.
The leaked emails show that Epstein was also interested in more mundane means of spying on and manipulating people, which overlapped with the technologies governments often pursue. This interest crossed borders.
Barak's email inbox was quietly posted by Distributed Denial of Secrets, a website widely considered to be a successor to WikiLeaks, on a file-sharing platform for verified journalists and researchers in May 2025. The contents came from Handala, a hacker group named for a Palestinian cartoon character that has been leaking files taken from senior Israeli officials for several months.
Although the emails were posted without technical metadata or cryptographic signatures that would allow their authenticity to be verified, they include dozens of images, videos, voice recordings, and scanned documents from Barak and his friends and family that have never been published elsewhere. And they include information that was not publicly known at the time of the email leaks, including a reference to Epstein's birthday book.
The emails below, which have not been published elsewhere, paint a picture of Epstein as a man very eager to be at the nexus between private money and public surveillance. While they were hammering out the Reporty investment, Epstein invited Barak to come to a meeting with Thiel, cofounder of PayPal and the surveillance contractor Palantir, in May 2014. Although Barak couldn't make that meeting, Epstein insisted that Barak "spend real time with peter thiel [sic]" and offered to set up a dinner the following month.

Guilherme Klein Martins (LeedsU) on the four underlying causes of the UK productivity stagnation:
1. Austerity (in the past & ongoing);
2. Political uncertainty (including but not limited to Brexit);
3. Weak industrial strategy, not least because;
4. UK economy is too dominated by financial services (and their interests).
While not entirely a 'silver bullet' I also endorse Martin's suggestion of a large scale green public investment programme!

Four reasons why the UK lags behind its rivals on productivity
UK workers may feel like they’re working harder than ever – but it’s not showing up in the productivity figures.The Conversation
Emeritus Prof Christopher May reshared this.
While its unlikely it was the only reason, for certain backers of the Leave campaign it was likely a key motivation, I'd agree
If the UK wishes to turn this situation around, an excellent first step would be to reverse the decision to dispose of its stockpiled civil plutonium by burying it.
Wisely used in combination with the UK depleted uranium stockpile, according to the original plans which led to the building of the Dounreay Fast Reactor more than 70 years ago, this fuel will give up more energy than all the fossil fuels ever produced in Britain — but that requires strong, advanced heavy industry.

@SailorDisco Maybe? It's an older Dell laptop. I probably could replace it ... but the thought of getting all the laptop guts to fit back together ... the terror.
I've made my peace with it. And like I said - I'll still be using it. I'd been thinking about getting a Steam Deck .. Having this beast of a computer plugged into the tv is probably better.
