Summary: Video about the past day's work and what's coming up later today, notably the InteLeaks

THE VIDEO above covers a lot of topics and mentions what we've been doing lately. Special thanks go to Mogz for the artwork, which we love. She is an artist who really likes the site.



"The time take to open pages is now vastly improved; speed has been doubled or better!""Just to send a funny little card," she said, "to you and all contributors/readers, to wish all the best for 2021. [...] Thanks for all your work, and the best of wishes for 2021."

The video mentions some of the pains we've had with E-mail, some of the work done on monitoring, automation, Raspberry Pi (for IPFS), cron jobs, and improving loading speed of the site. The time it takes to open pages is now vastly improved; speed has been doubled or better!

We're now assessing how to release the Intel material [1, 2] (especially order of publication) because impact and reach certainly matter to sources.

Shown below is a 2-core processor from Intel; it's well known that monopolies not only increase pricing but also lower quality of products. When they no longer have to actually compete (because they cheat) there is no incentive to actually improve because improvements cost extra money to develop. The legacy of companies like Microsoft and Intel is a big stain on this century; one can only imagine how much more progress would have been made if it weren't for this monopolistic "Duo" (like the chip).
