----------------------------------------
Been reading Chilling Effect for a couple days.
Not much science in this free-wheeling scifi adventure so far, but fun.
Washed a load of laundry.

Sounds like IBM is putting the kibosh on CentOS, sort of.
Instead of being a near-clone of RHEL, CentOS will somehow be the rolling-release upstream beta of RHEL but not get security patches until after RHEL.
?
Not surprising, except that they pulled the rug out from under everyone in the middle of 8, instead of discontinuing with the next release.
Glad I'm mostly on Debian.

> The depths of the ocean are a powerful draw for researchers, experienced divers, and photographers alike. The vast bodies of water which cover over 70 percent of the planet’s surface are still being explored and documented. Lured by mystery, blackwater photographers dive at night into icy, pitch-dark depths. Taipei-based photographer Wu Yung-sen has been deep sea diving and photographing marine life for four years. On a recent blackwater dive—unable to see the bottom and surrounded by impenetrable space—he chanced upon a rare larval Wunderpus octopus. A stunning image captures the encounter; it shows the delicate and transparent baby octopus encasing its own brilliantly red brain, a sight few ever witness in the wild.
It's like a vacuum tube or Italian blown glass.
Worked a little on my Go web sessions/user management framework, while listening to the di.fm LoFi Lounge & Chill channel.
Chatted with Jay and Ed on Signal a bit.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moe_Berg
> Casey Stengel once described Berg as "the strangest man ever to play baseball".
> From May to mid-December 1944, Berg hopped around Europe, interviewing physicists and trying to convince several to leave Europe and work in the United States. At the beginning of December, news about Heisenberg giving a lecture in Zürich reached the OSS. Berg was assigned to attend the lecture and determine "if anything Heisenberg said convinced him the Germans were close to a bomb." If Berg concluded that the Germans were close, he had orders to shoot Heisenberg; Berg determined that the Germans were not close.
> Berg received many requests to write his memoirs, but turned them down. He almost began work on them in 1960, but he quit after the co-writer assigned to work with him confused him with Moe Howard of the Three Stooges.
