A new phisher in town?
*World Press Freedom Day 2017*
My daily newspaper just came with a blank first page to remind me of World Press Freedom Day 2017. More than 50% of what I was sent was advertisement. I am afraid, the irony was not intended.....
Little surprising fact of the day: It takes about 9 months to ruin a SD card by writing a MySQL DB with my home automation logs onto it :-(.
First they broke a guitar, now they break a bunny:
Do participate in crowdfunding on platforms other than Kickstarter?
My experiences outside Kickstarter are bad. While projects I backed on Kickstarter delivered in about 80+% of all projects, with Indiegogo my success rate is terrible (<25%).
In the future I will probably only back projects that are on Kickstarter...
A technician in an office was servicing the monitor.
He spent five minutes searching for the plug. Only then he noticed it was an aerial root of the Monstera (office plant) he got his hand on...
A story Google should read very carefully in regard of G+. They are about to enter the same tailspin....

With news of Unroll.me selling user inbox info to Uber, lots of people are repeating "if you're not paying for it, you're the product."
I've said before, and will continue to say, that that is the wrong formulation. Sometimes you pay for it and you're still the product – look at US ISPs. Sometimes you don't pay for it and you're not the product – free software.
The real question is whether a software or service empowers users, which can't be boiled down to whether you paid.

Windows-Knowhow für Linux-Poweruser?
Dear Lazyweb, für eine im Herbst anstehende Tagung suchen meine Kollegen und ich einen (guten) Vortragenden zum Thema "Windows für Linux-Poweruser" um die Linux-lastige Fraktion (mich eingeschlossen ;-) mal auf den aktuellen Stand des Windows-Managemenmts zu bringen.
Ernstgemeinte sachdienliche Hinweise gerne an mich. Merci beaucoup.
The smart chip on an ID card is too expensive? The solution is easy: print a photo of the chip instead of having a chip. Just like the U.S. senate does for his staffers:

On another note. Beside G+ also feedly.com is having problems today.
As @hennejg is pointing out and I noticed too: We don't see any post on G+ newer than about 7 hours.
My own post from about 1h ago also already disappeared from my own stream.
@dredmorbius The graph from CircleCount does not take into account that a lot of users were force to the new UI earlier than depicted (e.g. GSuite users like me).
And it is not just because I do not like the new UI, it is plainly impossible with the new UI to keep my engagement on the previous level. The new UI has cut my throughput by a factor of 3-4.

Is it just me or is there an increasing trend of Amazon sellers to beg for reviews?
