After blow drying and airing out, the work laptop looks to be dead, with the SSD being undetected. Fortunately, it was already slated for replacement this year. I'm now using a newer model without a touchscreen. (No more accidental touches moving the cursor around.)
I have multiple forms to fill out, but that can wait until tomorrow. -

She went to the Celestron site and looked up the model I bought. She approves.
This is not as good as the one she had years ago (destroyed in a house fire), but it should be good enough. -

Ordered the replacement already. My mom has already been asking me when the telescope would arrive. -

Telescope order status: Since it is two weeks past the end of the expected delivery period, I requested a refund. I just received an e-mail that my claim is granted, and that if the item arrives later, I should contact the seller to arrange to send it back. -

I'm actually working on my next post about recent changes in tax code that will not only affect people in the gig economy but also maybe anyone who gets money related to side work and gets paid in anything other than cash, that is not their "normal" job.
Slight spoiler: It just might be time to setup a legit company if you meet the above. -

@geniusmusing This link ( https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2022/01/24/logj4-security-inquiry-response-required/ ), seen via @clacke ( https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-1861-ef4c-d402-003718207506 ), sort of fits with one of your recent blog posts.

This 22-year-old builds chips in his parents’ garage Ars Technica
https://nu.federati.net/url/284759
>In August, chipmaker Intel revealed new details about its plan to build a “mega-fab” on US soil, a $100 billion factory where 10,000 workers will make a new generation of powerful processors studded with billions of transistors. The same month, 22-year-old Sam Zeloof announced his own semiconductor milestone. It was achieved alone in his family’s New Jersey garage, about 30 miles from where the first transistor was made at Bell Labs in 1947.
>
>With a collection of salvaged and homemade equipment, Zeloof produced a chip with 1,200 transistors. He had sliced up wafers of silicon, patterned them with microscopic designs using ultraviolet light, and dunked them in acid by hand, documenting the process on YouTube and his blog. “Maybe it’s overconfidence, but I have a mentality that another human figured it out, so I can, too, even if maybe it takes me longer,” he says.
>...
Somehow I think this kid is going to go far. -

>Free Time Well Spent

>I was finally able to have the time to hunt down an issue that I had been living with since this time last year, mainly, this blog. While I do enjoy writing software and it has almost become my full time (paying) job at this point, it does leave me not wanting to work on my own stuff in the evening.
>
>I finally decided to spend some of my "free" time to figure out just why this blog software would not work on my hosting provider but a very close setup I have at home works just fine without anything special requirements.
>
>It only took about 45 minutes in support chat to get it going the way it should. It seems that some of the standard modules that PHP uses were not installed or not installed correctly, mainly the JSON module that this software needs.

>Over the next week I will be doing some testing and all the back entries and then the site will switch over.

#2FA sobre Linux: ¿Cómo instalar #GoogleAuthenticator y #TwilioAuthy? | Desde Linux
El tutorial de hoy, está íntimamente relacionado con el tema de la Seguridad informática o Ciberseguridad. Ya que, como muchos saben, gestionar el acceso a nuestros recursos en línea mediante solo contraseñas ya no se considera nada seguro. Por ende, lo más recomendable es el uso de alternativas complementarias, entre las cuales una de las más conocidas es la tecnología «2FA».
La tecnología «2FA», mejor conocida en español como «Doble Factor de Autenticación» o «Autenticación de dos factores», es un excelente método de protección, ya que, implementa una capa de validación más en nuestras actividades. Y para usar esta tecnología, existen muchas apps tales Google Authenticator y Twilio Authy. Las cuales, aquí veremos como instalarlas sobre GNU/Linux.

I walked down to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_State_Building today. It is impressive up close as well as from a distance. In contrast, the Jenga Building ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/56_Leonard_Street ) is not very attractive up close. -

@hispa Cuando te lances (o lo haga tu niño), te recomiendo Restic. Le eché un vistazo cuando lo recomendó @t3rr0rz0n3 y desde luego, ha cambiado mi forma de hacer backups. Rsync, Rsnapshot, etc están bien, pero Restic hace el proceso completo; se puede actualizar independientemente de las versiones que haya en tu distribución, etc.
Ahora mismo, hago copias cada 4 horas de más de 250 GB, y las mantengo durante 3 meses. Las pocas veces que he tenido que tirar de backup, he podido hacerlo con una copia muy cercana a lo perdido. Fin del anuncio 😂 -

@geniusmusing The government has shown shocking incompetence at protecting employees' information. They (and their contractors) are not likely to better protect taxpayers' data, nor are they going to be quick to respond when crackers subvert this facial biometrics system and get billions of tax refund dollars sent to accounts in Belarus. -

#MO Highway Patrol mistakenly sends "Batman alert" https://www.ky3.com/2022/01/18/missouri-highway-patrol-mistakenly-sends-out-batman-alert/ [www ky3 com]
I watched the 1960s TV show, so I was expecting the bat signal, a searchlight with a bat-shaped dark pattern that pointed into the sky. -

#Daddy_A is so happy with his new body that he took a shirtless photo, something he hasn't done since childhood. He told me about it, but he didn't send it to me. I guess he's still got a way to go before he's able to feel comfortable showing it to people.
Also, the family member with a recent medical issue is out of the hospital and recovering at home. -
