A wonderful movie about the people and the city of Nairobi – and about HIV: Kulala Ovyo.

Relevance by chance: Soap&Skin sings Homeless (Ladysmith Black Mambazo cover).

This could make publishing interesting again.

IPFS is a peer-to-peer distributed file system that seeks to connect all computing devices with the same system of files. In some ways, IPFS is similar to the Web, but IPFS could be seen as a single BitTorrent swarm, exchanging objects within one Git repository. In other words, IPFS provides a high throughput content-addressed block storage model, with content-addressed hyperlinks. This forms a generalized Merkle DAG, a data structure upon which one can build versioned file systems, blockchains, and even a Permanent Web. IPFS combines a distributed hashtable, an incentivized block exchange, and a self-certifying namespace. IPFS has no single point of failure, and nodes do not need to trust each other.”

I carry a log — yes. Is it funny to you? It is not to me.

“There are clues everywhere — all around us. But the puzzle maker is clever. The clues, although surrounding us, are somehow mistaken for something else. And the something else — the wrong interpretation of the clues — we call our world. Our world is a magical smoke screen. How should we interpret the happy song of the meadowlark, or the robust flavor of a wild strawberry?”

Der vierstellige PIN-Code einer Kreditkarte sei »aufgrund sehr ausgefeilter kryptografischer Entwicklungen mittlerweile nicht errechenbar oder für jemanden erratbar«, sagt ein Herr Hackel, Vorstandsvorsitzender eines Kreditkartenproviders.

Und dann sagt er: »Es wird einmalig eine PIN zugeschickt, und dann werden wir Wege anbieten, diese PIN in eine Wunsch-PIN umzuändern«.

Na dann: bereits vor drei Jahren wurden alle vergebenen PIN-Codes geleakt. ROLF.

Aber Ernst beiseite: Die am häufigsten und am wenigsten verwendeten vierstelligen PIN-Codes gibt’s bei DataGenetics.

Ich kann nur vermuten, dass die Beweislast bei Kreditkartenmissbrauch demnächst umgekehrt wird, weil mit diesem dollen, supersicheren, vierstelligen PIN-Code ist der ja quasi ausgeschlossen.
