		<description><![CDATA[MTAzNTY4MDcyNTl8MjE2LjczLjIxNy45Mg==Due to an embarrassing deficit in knowledge of history, and a geopolitical climate that makes remedying this shortcoming all the more urgent, I've started reading A History of the Modern World (8th Edition - Palmer, Colton - 1995). I'm only 80 pages into the 1000 page book but already there are quite a few gems. [...]]]></description>

Any other so-called "encrypted" messaging "app" can and should be assumed compromised, otherwise it wouldn't be allowed on your botnet phone in the first place, let alone constantly promoted by celebrity "dissidents" and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MTAzNTY4MDcyNTl8MjE2LjczLjIxNy45Mg==The Bitdash Crawler has been running steadily since August of last year. The first release was minimal&#8212;only the basic crawling functionality, and only collecting data returned directly by the probed nodes. This patch adds additional data collection, as well as a new IRC interface for basic status reports.

In order to have any hope of fixing this I'd first have to remove the motherboard. As you can see, none of the internals appear damaged. It seems like the PCI riser's bracket [...]]]></description>

A lot has changed since I last wrote a guide on installing and running MP-WP. For one, the previous article reads like pure cringe when I go back and look at it now. I was more concerned with exhibiting the right affectations than producing something truly useful. Whatever usefulness (if any) it served at the [...]]]></description>

I've been using asciilifeform's logotron to power my IRC logger for a while now. The setup consists of an IRC bot and a Flask-based web app, both connected to a Postgres database. I run it on a simple Rockchip machine alongside my Bitcoin network crawler, which also uses Postgres. For some reason every couple of [...]]]></description>
