Yesterday, Business Insider informed about the publication of the leakage from 2019 in a low-level hacking forum.

The database contains the personal information of over 533 million Facebook users from 106 countries. Records include:

• phone numbers,
• Facebook IDs,
• full names,
• locations,
• birthdates,
• biographical information,
• in some cases — email addresses.

While a database of this size is sure to draw the attention of cybercriminals and security experts, it is also of interest to social media researchers.

Mark Zuckerberg’s phone number is in the leak as well

Yes, the Facebook CEO’s phone number is in the leak.

Web scraping has become the default way to extract data from websites. Web scraping is used, among many other things, for price monitoring, watching competitors and website updates detection. Although with the popularity of scraping came a lot of libraries and other tools to make it easier. You can easily extract all the text data from the source code of the website. However, you still have to make the effort to properly point out items of interest, i.e. using CSS selectors.

Recently, I came into possession of an iMac 12.1 (21.5-inch, Mid 2011). I need a second computer to function as a home server. A used, pretty powerful (4-core, 18 GB RAM) all-in-one computer. A built-in display is a nice bonus for fast settings adjustments without using SSH or VNC. After replacing the HDD with an SSD, it was time to install the system. What is the latest version of Mac OS X that supports this model?

Eh, High Sierra.

Great system.

But old.

Still great.

Hackintosh on an iMac?

High Sierra is slightly outdated and doesn’t support some newer software (Office 360, Homebrew displays…

Sustainable energy is on the rise across the world for good reason. With climate change taking centre stage, more people are looking for alternatives to standard fuel that’s typically harmful to the ozone layer and our atmosphere. And for those of us looking to do our part at home, going solar is increasingly popular.

Businesses are also picking up steam on solar, in part due to the energy savings they can use to boost bottom lines and to prepare for the effects of climate change, but also from consumer demand, where discerning shoppers are turning to more sustainable businesses and…

I’ve created a Streamlit app for my recent article about keyword monitoring. It is used to search keywords in Google and is quite useful. As search results and SEO topics, in general, are location-dependent, I thought it would be useful to translate the app interface into several languages.

In theory, making another language version does not seem difficult. After all, it is enough to translate individual labels and descriptions into another language and by using a dictionary to map these.

In practice, this simple approach is time-consuming and error-prone. It is definitely better not to reinvent the…

There is no doubt that weather conditions affect consumer behaviour. The changing weather can initiate a switch in the clothes we buy, the design of our homes and the music we listen to. This has been noticed by marketers, resulting in the emergence of weather marketing. Using weather data, you can control when and where your ads are shown.

For example, if you want to advertise the amusement park, you better take into account the weather forecast, because consumers often consider it when they are planning such activities. …
