It pleases me immensely that there is a beverage canonical to the Star Trek universe called War Nog

Last week trump announced plans to "review" 8 Smithsonian museums. Today he doubled down, very explicit about the intent to revise history to reflect the ethno-nationalist fantasy of US history.
You can do something about that! We are backing up the digital archives of those museums on sciop: https://sciop.net/tags/smithsonian
You can take direct action to preserve the historical artifacts the right wants to destroy:
1) you can download a copy and seed it, every seeder counts. Subscribe to the smithsonian RSS feed to auto-download torrents as they are scraped.
2) we have also written a crawler connected to sciop that distributes the scraping work, and automatically creates and uploads a validated torrent that piggybacks off the s3 bucket as a webseed source while it lasts (instructions in reply).
The data from the 8 threatened museums is on the order of ~10 TB, and we have split it up by jpg/tif so people without much spare storage can join in on the jpg's at least. The full contents of the public smithsonian bucket is ~700TB, so if we want to have a full independent copy we'll need lots more seeders.
All this code is being written flat out, on the run, as it's needed by volunteers with exactly zero resources, so it's not polished or well documented, and if you're interested in helping damp the flames of the book burning by contributing to any of the code or docs, we'd love to have you.

A friend is moving and gave me some of her Keyboard Shit, so I put the unlabeled keycaps on the 30% keyboard to produce the most 1960s Star Trek keyboard I could.

Some music for our deteriorating times.
Dammit. I was planning to take a friend to Mt Rainier today, checked on the site to make sure everything is open, the weather was good (it's okay-ish), and bought passes...only to find out you have to make reservations for Sunrise Summit?!
What?
Well, I'm sunk in for the 7 day pass today, so we're going to Paradise, which isn't as good as Sunrise, but...well...already paid for the pass....
Had a really nice night last night with Crystal, Lissa and Liz. Pizza, snacks, and (watching other people struggle) at Minigolf, then a double feature of Fantastic Four and Superman.
FF was an amazingly good looking movie in an alternate universe where 1950s Googie never died, but Superman. Oh, man, Superman. That was ::chef's kiss::
While I still perfer the 1978 Superman movie, David Corenswet plays a wonderfully sweet affable Superman. As much as I like the iconic "public servant" Chris Reeves' Superman, having a Superman who was Just A Guy From Kansas was really kind of awesome.
FF: 7/10
Superman: 9/10
So, while I may not have a new favorite Superman movie, I may have a new favorite Superman. <3
A line I'm quite proud of I wrote years ago: "The complexity of society is often measured on how good their vegetable soup is."
@OrionKidder - SO SO SO much this. It was @socketwench who went out of her way to mentor me in Linux that turned me into a convert to Linux. The help I've gotten from others was certainly not as...encouraging.

Make sure to maintain proper hydration levels on this Thursday, the day of Thirst
@Orb2069 - Any size is personal if you try hard enough.

So I wanted to wait a few days before I announced this so, you know, made sure i didn't die or anything, but i ate an 11 year old MRE this weekend.
Still good, but, frankly, I don't like to eat these after about six years because they do do bad if not taken care of. This one was given to me by a friend and for some reason didn't have the date stamped on the bag. If I knew it was ten years old, I probably would have trashed it sight unseen. After opening it, though, everything seemed fine, so I tried it.
Back to slightly fresher MREs.
So, I was cleaning out the car a few days ago when I noticed that there was a match box on the floor. I have a few in the car but they're from MREs. I got a better look at it and, lo and behold, I had a collectors item. It was obviously in the package with the movie script, so I need to check my packages better for surprises.
Unexpectedly spent six hours at Summerstage. But spent it with good friends, nice shade, easy access to cold water, and helping a lot of kids make art at the Art Table (courtesy of the Cultural Commission).
Then the evening was movies with @socketwench ❤
In all, a good day was had by all, I believe.
