I believe nation states will keep becoming less and less relevant and that in the future everyone will be a nomad Most nation states (and well governments) barely function anymore through 100+ years of democratic baggage from laws and regulation that can't be reversed People can't save their countries or governments anymore through people's initiatives or getting into politics, because the systems are so old and in full gridlock Globalism has deservedly gotten a really bad rep the last 5 years though as we were too naive about it, but I think we should keep the good parts from it We should no… Quoting @ramenlad Very cool. I’m curious: do you believe digital nomading will continue to grow given the potential disruption of all things digital that’s upon us? Sorry, had to quote to reply @levelsio :) Related

In all seriousness, @jococruise.bsky.social is a truly excellent way for nerds (or anyone else!) to dip a toe into the cruise thing. The the community that's developed over 15 years of the cruise is welcoming and friendly. There are always things to do, officially programmed and otherwise. It's fun! Quoting @superobscure.com Is JoCo a good Nerd’s First Cruise? Or is it better-suited for Advanced Cruising Nerds? Related

I never remember to do this until the last minute but: ChiSec tonight, just nerds at a bar, Kaiser Tiger on Ogden/Randolph, 6:45PM or so. No RSVPs or anything, just show up. Related

Unfortunate - the Lp(a) lowering trial that everyone (nerds) were waiting for was unsuccessful. It could've meant a highly effective new method to reduce heart attacks and strokes. I'd still like to see the detailed results, but I take this as some evidence against the causal relationship. Related

i wanted to take a second to say thanks today marks 52 weeks of working with @GuiBibeau he's been with me since i launched this side business and i've seen him: - completely change his wellness habits - prioritize sleep, clean eating and always getting his steps in (~45m walks multiple times throughout week) - experiment with new supplements - attend various workout classes (Muay Thai, HIIT, pilates) and he's continued it for an entire year. all while maintaining a digital nomad lifestyle. changing your habits is hard. staying committed over the long-run is even harder. cheers to Gui for insp… Related

I think the number one success criteria was docker so remember there was mos and msosphere and they had their own runtime corp had come out with nomad and they had their own runtime but the biggest runtime that had already got global consensus was docker

New supply chain attack this time for npm axios, the most popular HTTP client library with 300M weekly downloads. Scanning my system I found a use imported from googleworkspace/cli from a few days ago when I was experimenting with gmail/gcal cli. The installed version (luckily) resolved to an unaffected 1.13.5, but the project dependency is not pinned, meaning that if I did this earlier today the code would have resolved to latest and I'd be pwned. It's possible to personally defend against these to some extent with local settings e.g. release-age constraints, or containers or etc, but I thin… stepsecurity.io
Quoting @feross 🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages. The latest axios@1.14.1 now pulls in plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise. This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M+ weekly downl… Related

Pen name of the Canadian-American writer behind mrmoneymustache.com, a blog on frugality, early retirement and index-fund investing that has run since 2011.
So I've been experimenting with some 1:1 coaching, mostly from people who are close to FIRE but looking for a final checkup. Here are some of the things some people miss consistently: 1) If you're going to go to all the trouble of owning rental houses, the damned things should at least outperform the stock market. So make sure your cap rate is better than ~8% after all expenses. But this takes some skill, so I keep sending people to @CoachChadCarson's excellent all-in-one book on the subject, "The Small and Mighty Real Estate Investor" 2) If you're going to invest in stocks, you should unders… Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
