@n8 yeah, curious if USPS couldn't be connected with this. Make your mailbox useful again.

Idea: Uber for libraries.
No, really. Where you could pay a fee to have a book checked out and delivered to you. They could return books too. Makes using a library just as convenient as an online retailer.

I got a chance to talk with portrait photographer Ilya Varivchenko and to showcase some of his amazing work! (Seriously, these are some amazing photographs and a great body of work.)
He's a RawTherapee user as well.
Come check it out!

Luckily I logged into StackExchange today to find out they're removing OpenID support tomorrow. Sad to see it going as it appears that Google and Facebook have dominated this space.

If you've got your account set to OpenID, go add another login now.

Learned last night that BSA's Youth Protection Training (YPT) is available to everyone, not just paid leaders in Scouting. That's very cool.
https://www.scouting.org/training/youth-protection/
If you're in an organization that deals with youth and perhaps doesn't have the resources to develop a full protection training program, you should consider going through this one. It is the best I've done. Scary stuff to talk about, but worth it to be prepared.

This piece by Janelle Nanos about how advertisers and companies are tracking your geolocation data, and how they're using it, is very good, well presented, and worth a read: http://apps.bostonglobe.com/business/graphics/2018/07/foot-traffic/
Relatedly: someone stop the future, please. I want to get off.

@paperdigits @federicomena @vickylai interesting, but it looks like it isn't keeping up-to-date with upstream.

@federicomena @vickylai the Android version says "contains Ads" which always makes me a bit nervous. I don't see any in the app though. Do they come up while you're using it?

Toronto is weird. There are all these people walking around with "TOR" stickers and shirts, but none of them want to talk about anonymized routing.

Small town radio ad for a funeral home: "No commitment appointments available." Seems like a good idea.

Late night comedy aside, I found this to be an interesting changing of the guard: "HBO’s 17-year-long streak as the most Emmy-nominated network is over. The 2018 selections were announced on Thursday, and Netflix led the pack with 112 nods." — https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/13/arts/television/stephen-colbert-house-hearing-peter-strzok.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

Worry that the survey didn't ask whether people would choose Democracy over their own pet causes having more influence. I'm guessing the results might be more depressing. — https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2018/07/13/americans-still-care-democracy-reason-concern

What I learned from this World Cup is that England has a flag in Unicode 🏴, but Texas doesn't.
It's fine, we'll just continue to use Chile's 🇨🇱 until no one recognizes it as anything other than a slightly incorrect Texas flag.

@pixeldev might be interesting to allow for different classes of followers. So free followers could get posts delayed. Or a poster could choose between which groups get the post.

TIL: To use tmux in LXC containers you basically need Ubuntu 18.04 images.
Longer answer is that there are patches to tmux and glibc that are upstream and 18.04 is the first release to have all of them.

Just to confuse the namespace out there, I think I'll invent a programming language called "Full Stack"

Naan breakfast taco. This is the biggest Texification of Indian food that I've seen.
