From ground news summary:

• Brazilian police arrested a man and a teenager on May 3, 2025, foiling a bomb plot targeting Lady Gaga’s concert in Rio de Janeiro.
• Authorities uncovered the plot after identifying an online group spreading hate speech, radicalizing teenagers, and encouraging self-harm.
• Authorities conducted raids at nine sites across multiple Brazilian states such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, confiscating electronic equipment and other items connected to the planned bombing.
• Around 2.1 million people attended the free concert on Copacabana Beach, which aimed to boost the local economy and drew 500,000 tourists.
• The arrests prevented a potentially large-scale attack involving improvised explosives, highlighting authorities’ efforts against extremist online networks.

What the ground news summary did not describe that most publications seem to list are:

• The Brazilian federal police was already investigating other groups like this
• Authorities suspect the group was targeting the LGBTQ+ community.
• The arrested teenager was in possession of child sexual abuse material, and was charged on that.
• Another member of the group (not sure if he was charged) had religious motivations.

1. Wash your face or any area you want to shave with gentle soap.
2. Use a gentle shaving cream, no scent, no alcohol. If possible, spread it with a shaving brush gently.
3. Shave in the direction of the hair, e.g. your moustache you probably go from nose to lips.
   a. Change your blades often, with a safety razor you most likely want a new blade after each shave. Blades get dull, pull the hair and clog the pores, they will accumulate bacteria over time, causing infections, disposing them after each shave will reduce the chances of those happening.
   b. Try to get good at passing the blade only once, avoid repeating on the same spots multiple times. If struggling, you might want to consider one of those razors that adjust to your face as you move, or an electric trimmer - avoid the ones that pull the hair before cutting.
4. Wash your face again, if possible, use a soap with ceramides and niacinamide (they will help with your skin recovery).
5. Tap your face gently with a clean towel, do not rub it, don’t go hard. Leave some moisture.
6. Use moisturizer (ceramides and niacinamide is a plus)
7. SPF

A lot of the things that happen to your skin can be caused by bacteria, clogged pores by dead skin, dirty, hair, fabric… Those steps will help you minimize the chances and help your skin recover faster after shaving.

If possible, you should visit a dermatologist for a deeper understanding of your skin, and the care you need.

Also, on a special occasion, treat yourself to one of those old school barbers, with hot/cold towels and all the pampers.

Depends on the threat model and how long do you need the data.

Worked on a place long ago, that anything they needed to save offline from more than a few decades where stored in microfilm, the expectancy there where they would last 80 to 100 years.

Anything else was pretty much tape.

You also take in account the technology avaiability. The more complex is to use, harder will it be to reproduce in the future. Even with tapes, you might want to copy the data to another tape/recorder every decade or two, to keep it on par with the technology.

Nowadays, I think it means “agreeable”. “I agree with this”.

It is a term that changed a lot in such a short time. I remember it was a way to call a drug addict, like crackhead/basehead. Then it changed to call people talking nonsense, like they were on crack.

I imagine, at some point, someone agreed with the crackhead talk and read some comment of the nonsense being called “based”.
