Memory safe in a kernel is not the same as memory safe in an application.
Not sure how your comment applies to my observation. I'm talking about human behaviour, not memory management approaches.

It's called status quo bias. It can be turned around, but it'll take some time.

You're not the only ham "fit" enough to ride a bike for hours. 26.2 miles on a bike is by no means long. There are many of us that bring amateur radio on 200+ mile or multi-day rides covering 1000+ miles. Maybe your attitude was the reason other hams didn't get involved with your ideas.

If you have a loved one that died due to Covid-19, the WHO failed. No one that has suffered a loss is going to think how the WHO can be improved.

Why go to that expense? I went to the local home cheapo store and bought 4 8"x8" concrete blocks for $1 each. Lift your current desk up on the blocks. I've been this way for two years now and it's made a huge difference in sciatica pain but it also improves my concentration when I'm working. Can't really let my mind drift or I'll fall over.

Amateur Radio packet radio has been around since the late 80s. There's a new approach being tested as a wireless WAN on HF.

Yes, you do need a license, but encryption is not allowed on any amateur frequencies - unless it's the control channel for a ham satellite. ARRL tried to get an exception for ARES to transmit HIPAA data via packet encrypted, but FCC denied the petition. Anyone with a receiver and the Fldigi software can listen in.

Julian Assange's Online Dating Profile Leaked 334
Ponca City writes "The Telegraph reports that an online dating profile created by Julian Assange in 2006 has been unearthed from OKCupid disclosing that the WikiLeaks editor sought 'spirited, erotic' women 'from countries that have sustained political turmoil.' Writing under the pseudonym of British science fiction author Harry Harrison, Assange described himself as a 'passionate, and often pig headed activist intellectual.' Assange said he was seeking a 'siren for [a] love affair, children and occasional criminal conspiracy' adding that he was 'directing a consuming, dangerous human rights project which is, as you might expect, male dominated' and added enigmatically: 'I am DANGER, ACHTUNG.' Among Assange's listed interests were the 'structure of reality' and 'chopping up human brains' – although he added the caveat '(neuroscience background)' lest the latter put off potential admirers. 'I like women from countries that have sustained political turmoil,' Assange wrote. 'Western culture seems to forge women that are valueless and inane. OK. Not only women!'"
