I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Oh come on, the cars are the same. There is no evidence or reason(!) why they aren’t the same, plus we have ex staff, and existing staff telling the cars are the same. Max is a once in a lifetime talent that keeps getting better. It makes total sense he crushes his team mates.

It's all very well calling the Netherlands "the Italy of the North", but it's in fact pretty unfair to Italy which has a boringly stable government these days.

Final touches on the interior is just cleaning plus removal of steel latches and bars no longer used. Oh, and removal of windows per request by the roll cage builder. All in all, 4ish man days work to get the interior stripped.

Marc Smeets @marcoverip.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

Step 2 of stripping the interior is a lot of work: removing sound deafening materials. The soft ones is hard labour scrapping and using chemicals to dissolve the glues. The hard ones are easily removed with dry ice: make it cold and it will nearly pop off by itself.

Marc Smeets @marcoverip.bsky.social · 30/05/2025

Next stop: stripping the interior ready for cage builder. This is one of those typical Pareto things: huge progress with just a few steps, but the remaining details take a lot time. Easy: stripping seats, upholstery and cables.

God forbid you would do things like invest in cancer research, or send food to starving people or maybe closer by: fix the homeless people issue in the US 🤷 But no, no, commercial space travel is *the* way of course.

Once again Saturday at the Monaco F1 GP is just pure awesomeness. Mind blowing how fast these cars go through the streets. Top notch stuff. Congrats to Norris for taking pole position.

While the subframe was at the specialist, and the gas tank was removed as required for the roll cage builder, we took some time taking care of the underbody as there was some surface rust. Hours of sanding, treatment with anti rust and paint. Color combo looks weird now but wait till reassembled.

Project #HammBal update: time to get the rear subframe back to new. I sent it to a specialist powder coater. Went with a white color. Just look at it shine ✨ Really happy with this!

Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable. The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found': www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4...

Volkswagen fixed vulnerabilities in its mobile app that could allow attackers to hijack user accounts and retrieve car/owner details. The app lacked brute-force protection, stored internal credentials in plaintext, and exposed any car owner's details via a VIN. loopsec.medium.com/hacking-my-c...
