Hard Pass

A house down the road. Sure it's nice but it has absolutely no yard and you can't have a pet or anything that makes noise or the neighbors will quickly complain.

So just almost 8000 a month! I used to pay $5000 a year in taxes in 2005, so it's like paying property taxes every month! Yey! So affordable!

Seriously, I don't know what sort of fool would be convinced to move into any of these hundreds of houses that are basically 1.5million dollars. They would need to tare them down and built into mini hotels. Problem is that there are literally no local tourists attractions. It would have to be a college dorm house or multi-family slumlord special.

Negotiations are underway for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) to acquire a larger mixed fleet of American-made Lockheed Martin F-35s and Saab Gripen-E fighters built in Canada, the sources said.

Been working on building a wiki over a number of months, but realize it is a ton of work. My goals are:

• No Database, just files and folders for Dokuwiki
• Get the experience to feel accessible and fun for users.
• Make the wiki into something users can save locally and access offline.

The wiki coincides with various DIY and open source projects I'm experimenting with. Thought I'd share here, since this is about the extensions I'm actually using within Dokuwiki. Would love to add more, but just need them to work in daily use first.

Plugins in use:

• SMTP, so users receive their login credentials.
• Templator, for treating pages as templates for re-use.
• Include plugin, for using pages within pages to organize content.
• Open Document plugin - For export as odt
• Pagelist, which I'm still learning for organizing tables.
• Move plugin - for moving location of pages without breaking links.
• Wrap plugin, for centering images and code blocks.
• Tag, for adding tag browsing between page.
• Footer, for clarifying info displayed at bottom of pages.
• Catmenu, adds a clean, simple tree menu for the page being viewed.

wowie zowie turns out setting up a secure home server is easier than i thought.

An analysis of the AI industry that looks beyond the hype to examine who really benefits, what's really being built, and why the financial numbers don't add up.

This video covers:

• The unprecedented speed of AI adoption and what it cost to achieve
• Data extraction as the real business model behind generative AI
• Sam Altman admits the bubble exists
• Military contracts and AI executives in the Army Reserve
• Brain-computer interfaces and the attempt to read human thoughts
• Regulatory capture and safety-warnings-as-strategy

The technology isn't just adapting to us — we're adapting to it. Every prompt we type, every question we outsource instead of thinking through is strengthening a system built to predict, shape, and control human behavior.

Security engineer Taylor Hornby, who recently used Anthropic’s Opus 4.8 AI model to uncover a critical bug in Zcash, says he will next audit Monero and other privacy-focused cryptocurrencies.

The Zcash flaw, hidden in the Orchard privacy pool since May 2022, could have allowed unlimited counterfeit ZEC to be minted undetected and prompted an emergency fix by June 1 after its discovery on May 29.

Hornby, hired by nonprofit developer Shielded Labs to find protocol bugs before attackers do, disclosed the vulnerability instead of exploiting it and plans to seek a Zcash coinholder grant to fund further work.

In a Financial Times opinion piece, the president said he wants to change legislation to de-regulate AI, lower taxes and allow companies run by machines, to attract AI firms

Hi, installed the gramps web container using the default installation with this docker file where the only thing I changed was the port number. Having read this it woudl appear that I need not do anything unless I want to build a multi-tree environment (not my case for now).

When I import the *gramps file I have from the desktop version, it says database is locked. I get internal server error if I try setting a Home Person under "Family Tree" which looks pretty empty at the moment.

There seems to be an option to unlock the database here but this stuff seems to be related to the desktop app rather than the web app. Any thoughts?

EDIT; Makes no difference whether I'm doing the above as administrator or contributor user.

EDI2: not sure if this made a difference but changed the GRAMPSWEB_TREE: to match the tree name I have in the desktop app and now it did import. Must be the fact that it is configured as single tree and it expects the tree name that is being imported to match the tree name that is registered in the yaml file.
