🎥 Video
===================

Executive summary: A technical demonstration walks through converting arbitrary files into video containers for storage on YouTube. The project documents practical constraints (YouTube file/length limits, metadata stripping, and aggressive transcoding) and presents a workflow combining chunking, integrity checks, and forward error correction to enable file reconstruction after upload.

Technical details:
• Encapsulation: The workflow targets standard video containers and uses video and audio tracks as the durable carriers because YouTube strips most metadata and can reject subtitle payloads.
• Integrity checks: Uses multiple CRC flavors to detect corrupted chunks prior to reconstruction.
• Forward error correction: Implements Wirehair (an O(N) fountain code) to create redundant symbols so that the original file can be recovered despite dropped or heavily altered chunks during YouTube transcoding.
• Encoding channel: Embeds payload bits into transform-domain coefficients — specifically leveraging the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) used by common codecs — to hide data within compressed frames while balancing capacity and survivability.

Implementation concepts:
• Chunking strategy: Files are split into chunks sized to fit per-video capacity limits (YouTube supports up to 256 GB or 12 hours), then encoded into frames or audio payloads with added FEC symbols.
• Hybrid error-proof algorithm: Combines CRC validation for corruption detection with fountain-code-based redundancy for recovery of missing symbols.
• Codec selection: Emphasizes that codec choice and compression aggressiveness materially affect recoverability; lower-loss codecs and control of quantization on DCT coefficients increase success rates.

Use cases and limitations:
• Practical use cases include long-term archival of very large files and covert transport where traditional storage is unavailable. The approach is constrained by platform policy, upload limits, potential content removal, and the non-deterministic nature of platform transcoding pipelines.

Detection and considerations:
• Detection vectors are platform-specific; artifacts include atypical frame-level entropy patterns and persistent non-media payloads in transform coefficients. The talk notes that subtitles/metadata are unreliable for storage because of sanitization.

References and tooling:
• The presentation references the Wirehair fountain codec and recommends studying CRC variants and video compression internals. Visualizations were created with Manim and DaVinci Resolve.

John Hiatt, Bring the Family, 1987 on A&M

John Hiatt’s eighth studio album and his first on A&M. What a fantastic songwriter! Actually paid for by Demon Records in the UK, but picked up after being completed by A&M in the US.

Guests include Ry Cooder (doing harmony vocals on “Have a Little Faith in Me” as well as electric guitar and sitar work), Nick Lowe on bass, and Jim Keltner on drums, making this something of a proto-Little Village album. Also includes “Thing Called Love” that was later a hit for Bonnie Raitt.

My copy—via Waterloo Records in Austin TX—is a Columbia House club pressing (Carrollton) with CRC on the bottom of the rear cover.

Звоним через полстраны по dial-up модему в 2025 году

Приветствую всех! Многие из нас застали лично и всё ещё помнят «модемную» эпоху. И даже мне самому доводилось ими пользоваться, а много позже я писал про то, каково в нынешних реалиях сидеть в интернете через старый аналоговый модем. Но вот мне стало интересно: а как насчёт попробовать позвонить не через мини-АТС, а на модем в другом районе или даже в другом городе? Именно этим мы сейчас и займёмся. Итак, в сегодняшней статье проверим на практике, реально ли заставить два модема связаться друг с другом в наши дни заката эпохи медных линий. Узнаем, насколько стабильным будет соединение и будет ли оно вообще. Традиционно будет много интересного.

But the truth is the US hasn’t done much either. Having the ball is not the same as doing something with it. Open play hasn’t created much.

#Leonard #Leo’s status as the world’s third most powerful figure soon made him a rich man.

During his time at the Federalist Society,
he had hardly been a pauper,
bringing in around $400,000 a year.

But with six children attending The Heights and Oakcrest, the two Opus Dei schools that charged up to $30,000 tuition annually per student,
and a burgeoning taste for good food and expensive wines,
it didn’t take long to burn through his salary.

But his life had taken a lavish turn after Trump’s victory
and his appointment as an unpaid advisor to the president on judicial appointments.

The dramatic uptick in his personal fortune dovetailed with his joining a for-profit entity called "CRC Advisors", alongside another CIC board member #Greg #Mueller.

Mueller had spearheaded the "National Organization for Marriage" vitriolic public relations strategy,
and #CRC quickly established itself as the go-to advisory firm for the dark-money network of nonprofit entities that Leo had helped set up over the years.

Once again, the Corkery name was all over the money flow.

The majority of CRC’s income came from
👉 "The 85 Fund",
a dark money non-profit that
⚠️ Leo repurposed to fund conservative causes nationwide,
and
💥that fund paid $34 million in fees to his new advisory firm over a single two-year period.

As the money rolled in, Leo began to enjoy some of the same luxuries as the billionaires he had spent years courting.

For most of his three decades in Washington, Leo had led a modest home life,
living for years in a small apartment in the Randolph Towers complex in downtown Arlington,
before moving to a single-story five-bedroom family home in suburban McLean in 2010.

But in the years since 2016, he had spent millions of dollars on two new mansions in Maine,
bought four new cars,
and hired a wine buyer and locker at Morton’s, an upscale steakhouse three blocks from the Catholic Information Center.

It was only a foretaste of what was to come.

➡️ In 2020, Leo stepped back from his duties at the Federalist Society to focus on the
dark-money network he had fostered as a side hustle during his time there.

With him, he took one of the Federalist Society’s biggest donors:
a manufacturing billionaire from Chicago called
#Barre #Seid, who was Jewish by heritage but who shared many of Leo’s conservative views.

🧨Over two decades, Seid had pumped at least $775 million into campaigns for libertarian and conservative causes,
quietly transforming himself into one of the most important donors on the political right.

Almost ninety, Seid had decided to leave his money continuing that work
— and concluded that Leo was the man to oversee that largesse.

🔥Leo had betrayed his bosses, who had tasked him with wooing the billionaire as a potential donor for the Federalist Society.

Instead, Leo had cultivated him for his own network.

Seid signed his business over to Leo, giving him control over a
🔥$1.6 billion war chest and
👉transforming him from a proxy for
dark-money donors into a donor himself.

A typical #RetroComputing sunday with my #Commodore64 - first, testing #xmodem #CRC #file #transfer to #rc2014bbs and then checking out #QLink (the "reloaded" system). Unfortunately, there aren't that much services active there (anymore?!), except the community boards.

Ich bin noch etwas unschlüssig, ob ich die Textausgaben vom #TNC im Hostmode parsen möchte oder in den KISS-Mode schalte und die Telegramme selbst zusammenklöppel (der TNC arbeitet dann nur als dummes Modem, das alle Frames mundgerecht vormontiert angeliefert bekommt und einfach durchreicht).

Da ich im simpleren UNPROTO-Mode (das #AX25-Äquivalent zu UDP) arbeiten will, macht letzteres vermutlich mehr Sinn.

The majority of payments to Leo's Virginia-based #CRC Advisors — a political consulting firm that was created in 2020 and for which he is chairman — came through The #85Fund, a rebranded #DarkMoney group that Leo has said he plans to use to fund conservative causes nationwide.

Corkery and his wife, Ann, founded and ran the nonprofit under a different name for more than a decade, during which time Leo directed funds toward it.

Such nonprofits are exempt from #taxes and not required to #disclose donors.

The 85 Fund is now run by Carrie #Severino, a former law clerk to Justice #Clarence #Thomas.

Summary of "Metaeugenics and Metaresistance: From Manufacturing the ‘Includeable Body’ to Walking Away from the Broom Closet

I will start this summary by explaining the title. I usually skip that part. This time I am going to explain the title because the title is so long, and so annoying. In "Academia" (which is just a fancy way to say college), there is a joke about how professors choose titles for their papers. It's not a specific joke. But everyone likes to make fun of titles that go like this "short catchy title": "long title with complicated meaning". I choose this kind of title a lot, because I think it's fun. I don't take myself too seriously.

The first part of this title is "Metaeugenics and Metaresistance". Something-ics is a kind of science, or a way of thinking, like economics, or politics. Eugenics is a way of thinking that says there are good bodies and bad bodies, and that human beings have a moral duty to keep their bodies "good" and to only have children with "good" bodies. Eugenics also says that governments are responsible for making sure their citizens are only people with "good" bodies. Eugenic science was overtly racist and ableist.

Most people believe that eugenics is over. They believe it was a bad science that happened in the past, and that we don't believe in it anymore. The problem with believing eugenics is over is that it makes it hard for you to notice when it is still happening. When more black and Indigenous people die from a virus, some people understand that this is because of racism in medicine. But when more disabled people die, we think it is because their bodies are weaker - That they do not have "good" bodies. The truth is that disabled people are dying more not /just/ because they are vulnerable but also because we made public choices that endanger their lives.

We made these choices because we still believe in good bodies and bad bodies. We still believe that it is everyone's moral duty to make their body as strong as possible. We still believe that some people deserve to die because of the body they are in. This is metaeugenics.

For something to be meta- is for it to exist without being said or written out loud. It is important to be clear that when we say disabled people, we do not mean just white disabled people. Understanding metaeugenics helps us to understand why we are okay with so many disabled people dying. It also helps us to understand that black and Indigenous people are not just vulnerable to racism, but to ableism also, even when they are not disabled in ways that are obvious to us. Because we do not care about disabled people, we allowed black and Indigenous people to be put at greater risk from racism in public health. Metaeugenics can help us understand how racism and ableism work together.

Resistance means to work against something. In this paper I want us to think about the ways we can work against metaeugenics by paying attention to metaresistance. To notice metaresistance, you have to think differently about what you are seeing when you see people resisting something. You have to notice both what someone is directly working against, and also notice how that resistence “speaks” or does resistance against other things that are not clear - like metaeugenics. I will give some examples later.

The next part of the title is “manufacturing the includable body”.

The “includable body” is something disability scholars write about. When we talk about inclusion, we usually mean that society should be open and accessible to everyone, no matter their disability. But when we “do” inclusion, schools and workplaces usually set some rules about what a person must do or be or look like in order to be included. Some scholars that write about this are Tania Titchkosky, Sara María Acevedo, Joe Stramondo, Eunjung Kim, and Anne McGuire. When a disabled child has to “earn” their place in the mainstream classroom by graduating from certain therapies, this means they have been made “includable”.

This is one way we uphold metaeugenics. We make disabled people work to make their bodies “includable” in therapies before we will accommodate them in “mainstream” spaces. Disabled people are morally obligated to make their bodies as “good” as possible, and if they don’t, they are called “non compliant”.

If you know anything about inclusion, you might be a little confused. Inclusion is a right! In the United States, we have the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act which means disabled people have the right to accommodations to access public life, work, and school. Unfortunately, rights and laws do not work without people doing the right thing. Even if you have the "right" to be included, who decides what counts as inclusion?

The problem with rights is that someone else is always in charge of deciding what "counts".

The United Nations has the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (CRPD) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). In my paper, I try to explain that when you put these documents together, they show a global metaeugenic attitude toward disability. The CRPD says that disability must be recognized as a natural part of human diversity, but that adult decision makers have the authority to determine the "best interests" of a disabled child. In the CRC, adults are responsible for considering the "best interests of the Child" and children are guaranteed the right to "develop healthily". What does this mean when the child is born into a body that the world declares is "unhealthy" or "disordered"? Basically, a disabled child has the right to be "fixed". Our rights comand us to manufacture an includable body for any person whose body is not "normal".

The final part of this paper's title is "Walking away from the broom closet". Ursula K. le Guin was a famous science fiction author. She wrote a book called "The Ones who Walk away from Omelas". In this book, Omelas was a Utopic society. A utopia is a place where everyone is happy and cared for. In the story, people find out that Omelas's happiness is only possible because there is a child, locked in a broom closet, who takes on all the suffering so that everyone else can be happy.

I think that in the real world, we have lots of broom closets where we make people suffer so that we can have our happy idea of normal. I think prisons are an example of broom closets. I also think that for many disabled children, the "intensive interventions" we force them to do in their "best interests" are a kind of broom closet. They suffer so that we can have our happy idea of a future without disability.

Attitudes toward children can tell us about attitudes toward the future. If we want to ensure our children do not have to be disabled, then we must also want a future where there are no disabled people. The disabled community is large and diverse. There are some conditions which are painful and some people want treatments that help them feel at peace in their own bodies. But that doesn't mean that you can eliminate disability. Disability is a natural part of human life. The society that wants to eliminate disability can only hope to eliminate itself.

I will end this summary with some stories.

On August 2, 2018, NBC News’ Health website published an article praising Google Glass
and researchers at Stanford University for the creation of a wearable app that may improve eye
contact for children with autism (Scher, 2018).
In preschool, [he] struggled socially with other kids. One hit him in the
face with a rubber mallet and another in the shoulder with a metal shovel.
“He didn’t see it coming,” [she] told NBC News. “When you don’t look
kids in the face, you can’t see their reactions or know what to expect.”
When he was 5, he was diagnosed with autism.
[N]ow 9, [he] started working one on one with a therapist using applied
behavioral analysis, a technique to improve social behavior, but [his
mother] saw little progress.
“Nothing really changed,” she said. “Until Google Glass.”

This child was assaulted by his peers. Because he was disabled, the solution was to put him in therapy. To use technology to change his behavior. To put him in a broom closet. So that other people could be happy.

In another project, researchers made a smart watch that would buzz to notify a child that they were behaving inappropriately. In this example, even "hand flapping" was considered inappropriate. At one point, "Child 5" was buzzed. He looked up and noticed that his teacher was too far away to stop him, and he continued flapping his hands. This child is my patron saint of noncompliance. His microresistance, written down in a scientific paper, is a testimony for all to see that the researchers are focusing on the wrong idea.

There are other examples, like the children who run away from robots designed to teach them social skills, or the children who scream at their therapists.

If we pay attention to where our participants are resisting our research, we can learn to recognize these broom closets, unlock the doors, and take these children out of Omelas forever.
