4·11 days agoGenerally you can look up the land records via a state, county or city website.
For example, Bridgeport CT https://www.bridgeportct.gov/government/departments/town-clerk/land-records
Always look for the .gov websites.
Stuff like “county records.org” are data broker /resellers who are just serving up public records that you can get yourself from the source.
Judicial records are often similarly available
Ahem may introduce you to OpenBSD
2·11 days agoVasagel, based on an Indian product called RISUG
Noone funds it because it’s too cheap? No real profit potential?
Essentially – it’s a gel that’s injected into the vas def which doesn’t actually block the flow totally (which sometimes causes side effects like granuloma in vasectomy), but rather it disrupts sperm cell membranes, but allowing the remains to pass through.
It is reversed simply by flushing it out with saline.
Last time I donated to the project it was at the live rabbit trials stage with Parsemuns Foundation?
(OH WAIT IT HAS BEEN USED IN HUMANS IN THE USA (see wired link below)
RISUG was used in humans for like 20 years with good results I believe.
Really don’t understand why this one hasn’t gained traction.

(Ohh right the rabbit study was for reversibility)
Somewhat like it, but with different operational goals.
FreeBSD focuses on wide hardware compatibility and very high speed.
OpenBSD focuses on security, exclusively. It’s slower and with a narrower range of supported hardware, but a MUCH higher effort in security, assurance and audit.
So, the fact that some bugs have been found in FreeBSD is more or less irrelevant to the security of OpenBSD
You may not be aware, but find it interesting that MacOS is also a BSD variant, and there was a distro called NetBSD which was (is?) focused on what you’d expect from the name of it.
Another thing you might not know is that the OpenBSD folks also publish OpenSSH which is a very well regarded and widely used package.
Of course all software is subject to bugs/error/vulnerabilities and OpenSSH as well as OpenBSD are constantly being reviewed, revised and audited for potential security issues.
