A step-by-step Guide on how to install Linux using a USB flash driveheard on Sat 31 Aug 24
Wondering how to install Linux? If you're looking to change your current operating system or simply want another option to choose from, this guide will take you through the Linux installation process step-by-step. Installing "Linux" is actually a bit of a misnomer. When people say this, they're actually referring to installing a distribution (distro) that uses the Linux kernel (the core of an OS) as a base for a complete OS. Popular distros include Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian.

XKCD - 2347: Dependencyheard on Sat 31 Aug 24
Technology architecture is often illustrated by a stack diagram, in which higher levels of rectangles indicate components that are dependent on components in lower levels. This is analogous to a physical tower of blocks, in which higher blocks rest on lower blocks. The stack in this cartoon bears a striking resemblance to a physical block tower, suggesting the danger that the tower will lose its balance when a critical piece is removed, in this case a piece near the bottom, labeled as being maintained by a single semi-anonymous person located somewhere relatively unimportant doing it for their own unknown reasons without fame or acknowledgement. The concept of balance is not intended to be communicated by a stack diagram, making this a humorously absurd extension of a well-known diagram style.

Inside the "3 Billion People" National Public Data Breachheard on Sat 31 Aug 24
I decided to write this post because there's no concise way to explain the nuances of what's being described as one of the largest data breaches ever. Usually, it's easy to articulate a data breach; a service people provide their information to had someone snag it through an act of unauthorised access and publish a discrete corpus of information that can be attributed back to that source. But in the case of National Public Data, we're talking about a data aggregator most people had never heard of where a "threat actor" has published various partial sets of data with no clear way to attribute it back to the source. And they're already the subject of a class action, to add yet another variable into the mix. I've been collating information related to this incident over the last couple of months, so let me talk about what's known about the incident, what data is circulating and what remains a bit of a mystery.
