My Factorio addiction continues, and now that the sun is out in the UK I've been trying to limit my game time until after dark. So another post that's nearly a week late on hitting the publish button. Anyway, here are some links from this week;

• The Amateur Tramp – The man who walked around a continent (greatestadventurers.com) - story of Aidan de Brune who in 1921 walked around the coastline of Australia, alone and without assistance
• Bird-Watching Goes Both Ways (altaonline.com) - how birds in LA County have adapted to coexist with humans
• Nextcloud Hub 21 out with up to 10x better performance (nextcloud.com) - I've been tempted to try a Nextcloud installation on my home server for a while and it's great to see that thing are still being pushed forwards.

• Free Land — Living Off Grid With No Money (offgridpermaculture.com) - Living for free (mostly in America), from finding free land, to foraging for food
• Common Nginx misconfigurations that leave your web server open to attack (blog.detectify.com) - Detectify scanned 50000 nginx config files and have produced this article detailing the most common misconfigurations
• How often should I rotate my ssh keys? (tailscale.com) - why your SSH keys should be changed and no information on how often
