Trevor James Smith<p>This is way too funny. It&#39;s also one of the reasons I keep NoScript running on my main web browser.</p><p><a href="https://userinyerface.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">userinyerface.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Trevor James Smith<p>Well then. Time to update some protocols.</p><p><a href="https://tuta.com/blog/china-salt-typhoon-worst-us-hack" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">tuta.com/blog/china-salt-typho</span><span class="invisible">on-worst-us-hack</span></a></p>

Trevor James Smith<p>Fair criticisms here. I&#39;ve certainly abused ZeroVer in a few of the projects I maintain, but I also never know when to leave it either, so some projects have been in production for years and very stable despite that. Perhaps I need to push past that behaviour.</p><p><a href="https://hynek.me/articles/semver-will-not-save-you/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hynek.me/articles/semver-will-</span><span class="invisible">not-save-you/</span></a></p>
Trevor James Smith<p>I would love to see more of this approach in America. They could very easily have a positive impact on food desert issues in small communities (in the short term).</p><p>7-Eleven Is Reinventing Its $17B Food Business to Be More Japanese | WSJ The Economics Of<br /><a href="https://piped.video/watch?v=RATHbP1bAhI" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">piped.video/watch?v=RATHbP1bAh</span><span class="invisible">I</span></a></p>

Trevor James Smith<p>Just upgraded my T430 to KDE Plasma 6 with Wayland on Void Linux. Smooth UI. Monitor-independent scaling. Runs really well. Now I just wish the widgets I like get ported.</p>

Trevor James Smith<p>Just got back from my first European excursion to Lithuania, The Netherlands, and Belgium. Met lots of people, ate lots of strange and delicious things, saw many castles. I&#39;m exhausted, but I have stories for quite some time. I managed to log a good chunk of it, so I&#39;ll be adding this to a personal blog, I think. Will be starting something up soon.</p>
Trevor James Smith<p>The security saga continues: I decided to try out a new (to me) VPN service. I&#39;ve already configured a few devices to use it once I buy some credit for it. I previously used NordVPN (their YouTube promoter game is strong), but after reading more about VPNs, I figured I needed something new.</p><p>Also, from time to time I use a Windows machine and decided to clean it up and install my stack of Open Source stuff on it on it. Discovered <a href="https://privacy.sexy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">privacy.sexy</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> for running scripts generated for Windows, Linux, and macOS that can do things like removing bloatware and disabling/uninstalling annoying proprietary services and features. I&#39;ve noticed my boot time has been cut in half, and I no longer have random scripts running on login. Awesome project!</p>

Trevor James Smith<p>Also, I&#39;ve been building personal NAS using a Raspberry Pi, two 4TB Barracuda HDDs, and OpenMediaVault. Results have been interesting. Also worth talking about once it&#39;s fully configured.</p>

Trevor James Smith<p>DeGoogling continued: Finally wiped my Twitter account as well as 90℅ of my accounts associated with my first email (circa 2003-2011). I&#39;ve been cleaning up my digital footprint for around two months now, moving things to more secure services, and I&#39;m finally starting to see progress. </p><p>The next phase is to archive my email accounts and get something more secure (mailbox.org?). Still planning to chronicle this as an extensive blog post once I&#39;m done.</p>
Trevor James Smith<p>Rest in peace, Mr. Toriyama</p>
