This, I have plenty of smart home stuff all run locally, and every external call is something I can control and disable. Having a smart home isn't inherently the problem; outsourcing all the computation to cloud servers run by unaccountable corporations is the problem

This article describes bottles found in children's graves, so maybe similar? I can't tell if they're the same bottles, but that would be one way for evidence to point to child bottles specifically. Good question though.

The Russian abbreviation comes from the older form Aleksashka, which was shortened to Sashka, which then gets shortened to Sasha.

Sounds like an interesting read, worth adding to the list then?

yaml is susceptible to things like the Norway problem: https://www.bram.us/2022/01/11/yaml-the-norway-problem/

There's also a lot of stuff that can go wrong with deserialisation that make it a tricky dependency for security purposes. I like how yaml looks and it's obviously much better than XML, but it had those potential problems
