It wasn’t a good week for due process and political stability.

The [https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-unprecedented-fbi-raid-on-former-president-donald-trump/ unprecedented raid] on former President Trump has [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFYisrI9UsQ many of us worried]. The various [https://www.commonsense.news/p/what-should-we-make-of-the-fbi-raid legal and political implications] are quite serious. Whether or not you’re a fan of Trump, you should be concerned by what certainly ''appears'' to be a politically-motivated abuse of governmental power. We’re all waiting with bated breath to see [https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/08/politics/mar-a-lago-search-warrant-fbi-donald-trump/index.html what damning evidence] the FBI uncovered.

I finally took the $$$ plunge, and signed up with [https://www.myheritage.com/site-family-tree-593810551/aaron MyHeritage] in order to further our genealogical endeavors. They’ve got a surprisingly large amount of information relevant to Esther’s family as well as mine, so I’ll be using it to scoop up as much information as I can over the next year.

I also maintain a private family-tree on my own server, and was hopeful I could upload (portions of) my private tree to MyHeritage, get more information, download the data from there, and merge into my private tree. Alas, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEDCOM GEDCOM data format] which is the universal genealogical exchange format, is a truly crappy format for this purpose. It almost guarantees that “round-tripping” data between dissimilar systems will not work.

Various and sundry:
* “Did not see that coming!”: man dies after [https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wellness/article-714016 contracting brain-eating amoeba] in northern Israel.
* An excellent Triggernometry interview: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86pmrLxW5BU “Technocracy Can't Answer Moral Questions”].
* The “inflation act” Congress just passed [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1q12LmITDM won’t work]. Obviously, but apparently less so to the congresscritters.
* Bill Maher [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKBHFZhwtUE on “fat acceptance”].
* Mallen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL4OodtQJjE on the Trump raid] and other things.
* Tech bonus round: how to secure your Linux server [https://www.maketecheasier.com/secure-linux-servers-with-selinux/ with SELinux].

There are still some things we should do to get the house into better shape, but I find it difficult to get motivated. There’s some painting we’ve got to do, and the kitchen should be reworked a bit. As I said, difficult to get motivated…

Our weather was pleasantly not-boiling-hot this week, despite being August. It looks to stay pleasant-ish through ''shabbat'' and into most of next week. Bonus!

We’ll fire up a beefy ''shabbat'', with:<br>
''ḥalla'',
“London broil”,
baked potatoes,
braised short-ribs,
roasted veggies,
homemade ''ḥummus'',
various ''salatim'',
and peaches-and-cream.<br>

Until next time,<br>
''shabbat shalom''!
