I’m quite curious about this “Ghosts from the Library”. Medawar edits the collection “Bodies from the Library” (which I recommend) and this idea of going through old newspapers to recover serialised stories or finding never published before ones is quite appealing.

**I don’t need to wait for the end of the year to know that Powerplant’s Stump Soup is one of the best albums 2022 has to offer.

Released by @staticshockrecs on tape, this album is surprising, refreshing and innovative.

Recommended specially to fans of DVAR.**

The Circle
Some years ago, I started reading the novel “The Circle” by Dave Eggers. I never finished reading it, but today I watched the movie. It has an important message about privacy, transparency and surveillance and shows that there’s a thin line in-between those. I can definitely recommend watching it, although I sometimes wasn’t impressed by the acting. ⌘ Read more

I’m trying to switch from Konversation to irssi. Let’s see how that goes. Any irssiers out there who can recommend specific settings or scripts? I already got myself trackbar.pl and nickcolor.pl as super-essentials. Also trying window_switcher.pl. Somehow my custom binds for Ctrl+1/2/3/etc. to switch to window 1/2/3/etc. doesn’t do anything: { key = "^1"; id = "change_window"; data = "1"; } (I cannot use the default with Alt as this is handled by my window manager). Currently, I’m just cycling with Ctrl+N/P. Other things to solve in the near future:

• better, more colorful and compact theme (just removed clock from statusbar so far)
  
• getting bell/urgency hints working on arriving messages
  
• nicer tabs in status bar, maybe even just channel names and no indexes
  
• decluster status bar with user and channel modes (I never cared about those in the last decade)

Vulnerability Alert: Avoiding “Dirty Pipe” CVE-2022-0847 on Docker Engine and Docker Desktop
You might have heard about a new Linux vulnerability that was released last week, CVE-2022-0847, aka “Dirty Pipe”. This vulnerability overwrites supposedly read-only files in the Linux kernel host, which could enable attackers to modify files inside the host images from the container instance. If you use Docker Engine natively, we recommend you should update … ⌘ Read more

I would HIGHLY recommend reading up on the keybase architecture. They designed device key system for real time chat that is e2e secure. https://book.keybase.io/security

A property of ec keys is deriving new keys that can be determined to be “on curve.” bitcoin has some BIPs that derive single use keys for every transaction connected to a wallet. And be derived as either public or private chains. https://qvault.io/security/bip-32-watch-only-wallets/

It’s time again to ask my followers: I have my homepage jlelse.dev, but I’m thinking about using jlelse.com for a more professional and appealing website about me. I can program, but my design skills are somewhat limited. What should I use to design and create the site? I used Carrd a couple of years ago. But are there any other recommendations? ⌘ Read more

That’s a comic strip. You like it very much. You probably want to send it to everyone you know. If you aren’t currently a subscriber to The Lunduke Journal, I highly recommend it. It is so choice. The free edition is great. If you pitch in a few bucks you get ⌘ Read more

Please stop recommending JavaScript programs to me. They’re bad enough in a browser, let alone as a piece of dedicated software.

I can recommend the beach in Scheveningen (NL). Nice place, good coffee.

Dusk Maiden of Amnesia managed to be both a satisfying school harem comedy & a satisfying gothic ghost story. Highly recommend. Why the heck don’t people talk more about this show?

Lazyweb: please recommend me haunted house movies you think I haven’t seen. It’s for research. Good or bad doesn’t matter, but I prefer original over derivative.

Medium has changed their policy. Now, recommendations are controlled by curators, & anything paywalled gets submitted to them. This probably means fewer but higher-quality recommendations…

If you thought Quora’s anime tag was bad, wait until you see their The Beatles tag. If you think that’s bad, wait until you get on the automatic recommendation list for answering questions in ‘acronyms’.

Strongly recommend ‘Horror Noire’ for folks who are interested in the history of horror on film. It filled in some big gaps in the timeline for me. It’s available on Shudder, which is also streaming some flicks covered.

Life hack: find the video in your youtube recommendations you’re least interested in watching, click on it, turn off your speakers, and leave your house for a week.

Tourist Trap is apparently on Shudder now. Even though it’s not Giallo, I recommend Giallo fans give it a watch: much like Profundo Russo & other pre-Suspiria Argento, it combines messy storytelling with some beautiful, surreal, and terrifying shot composition.

Bad idea of the day: a system for sharing playlists of things that aren’t audio or online video, like themed triple-features or reading lists, so you can curate or browse that kind of human recommendation
