Fun zsh / bash one liner: "Edit the first file mentioned in the most recent Git commit". Assumes you're at the repo root and that you have Neovim installed. #zsh #bash #neovim #shell #oneliners

Been thinking a lot lately about how many fresh college grads are probably going to wind up joining the cybercrime community thanks to AI's impact to entry-level jobs, particularly in IT. We've spent years telling everyone we had this huge shortage of […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

#nist have issued updated #password guidelines for businesses. Interestingly they now say that requiring special characters is no longer a recommendation, but longer passwords / passphrases (using spaces) is a better idea. I say "interesting" because that's something I've been doing for many […]

What's on my mind? Bookwyrm. That's the Fediverse's equivalent of Goodreads (and they connect to Goodreads, even), but they are free from Amazon. They let you add your own books (even add buy links), and you can comment on them and invite reviews. I will definitely add that to the backmatter […]

Finally got around to doing a not-Spiderman draft and my first impression of the format is *atrocious*. You either draft green-white with good rares, or you lose. Format solved. (I mean, obviously that's not literally the format solved, but it is my experience.) I should just go back to Edge of […]

OKAY. Windows 10 EOL is right around the corner in ~2 weeks. Because I've had to put out multiple all-caps panic attack fires within my own friend circle over this bullshit, I just spent my Monday night after work writing an article outlining a few paths forward post 10-pocalypse that anyone […]

Psycho question, is anyone here a welder. And I mean, veteran welder with years of experience and fun welder stories to tell, level of welder. If so, I'd appreciate your DMing me.

Sounds like I missed a great #Monsterdon this week 😢 I'll have to catch up at some point

i just learned that the latest official Scrabble dictionary (csw) recognizes **uwu** and **owo** as valid 3 letter words :3

A pretty cool thing about the Fediverse: It will still be around in a decade. Even two decades. Usenet still exists. IRC still exists. Email still exists. When you build platforms on open protocols and standards, it doesn't actually matter what corporations try and do to enshittify it. So long […]

Here's the official Global Meteor Network camera video from Lucky Lake, Saskatchewan! This video is courtesy University of Western Ontario and Defence R&D Canada. I counted 13 pieces in the video, how many do we think made it to the ground and are sitting on canola stubble east of Saskatoon?

Can’t sleep, must post takes: If you report a post because you disagree with it, but that post is not in any way threatening, abusive, or blatantly hazardous to the general community, then what the mods actually learn from your report is that you’re below the “must be this emotionally mature to […]

I've learned recently that there are adults who do not know that 1mL of water weighs 1g. If you didn't before, now you know.

If you live in the US and want to buy yarn or knitting needles or embroidery kits from my silly little shop, I finally have my online store set up and you can do that here!! https://the-dropped-stitch.square.site

Just finished "Moon of the Crusted Snow" by Waubgeshig Rice What would the apocalypse look like from the perspective of a Northern First Nations reserve in the middle of winter. Suddenly everything from the South is just gone and no one knows WTF is going on. I really enjoyed the book and I […]

Okay, this is a new one to me: Someone sent a vulnerable user under my supervision a postal letter on PayPal letterhead, listing a non-trivial charge, with a phone number to call if the charge didn't seem valid. Next thing we know, the vulnerable person is being walked through installing remote […]

actual helpful explanation: There once was a guy from Chu (think "Florida") who lost his sword overboard while sailing across a river. He hurriedly marked the still-sailing boat with his dagger, so he would know where to dive later to find his sword. "Mark a boat to find a sword" = a solution […]

Just a reminder. There is not a cutoff time for our #hashtaggames to expire. Some games play for days. If you miss the first phase starting at 9PM est, it's ok to play at other times. New games actually play in phases, or rushes, for the first 12 to 18 hours as people settle down and get online […]

The busiest #monsterdon moment was the tail end of the rat-bat-crab-spider attack.

Well, I appear to have gotten to the level of physics where there are open bug reports in the math. Me: "This operator seems to be analytic over there, but definitely not over here..." QFT prof: "Oh it's about to get a whole lot worse!" *Proceeds to show that the energy of the vacuum is […]

I've exported our #monsterdon watch history as a CSV and if anyone else would like a copy, here ya go: https://wormhole.app/eE6Oeb#CTaiMznBZ-KwOXu2GATgDQ

#monsterdon wrapup post for "The Angry Red Planet" (1959), thanks as always to @Taweret and @cherizilla as always for bringing some levity to the weekend! @JoeWynne#monsterdonsafe travels! This week brought us a unique and at times funny, if ultimately unlovable, movie: - I can't really fault them for […]

Just got sucked into @neal.fun's "Not a Robot" neal.fun/not-a-robot/

I may just have to watch Colossal (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4680182/) now to pick myself up from that ...like, I even bought the Blu-ray a few months ago, if this isn't the time to watch it, I dunno what is #Monsterdon

Well, we were promised War of the Ninja Monsters, and we got war, and we got ninja, and we got monsters... what more can you ask for Thanks @ryan for hosting and everyone for posting! Looking forward to next week.... #Monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

I appreciate this ninja for deciding to slash the screen to avoid subjecting us to any more movie. Other #Monsterdon movies should take a cue #Monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

Wait so how did anyone know these dudes needed rescuing? #Monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

I think what we just witnessed is the melee equivalent of Stormtrooper aim #Monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

You'd think even if you can't capture the kaiju on camera, you could get the cars they're flipping over and buildings they're smashing #Monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

The angry red moon #Monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

TIL kaiju attacks are under the jurisdiction of local authorities #Monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

Bakery workers are undisturbed as the room cracks apart around them #Monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

oh hey I recognized a word! かのじょ = girlfriend #Monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

Kind of off topic, but for a really fun (IMO) take on the human-as-kaiju concept, check out Colossal (2016) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4680182/ #Monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

"ninja monster transforming techniques" 😮 #Monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature

This end-credit music is quite a choice. Quite a choice, indeed. #monsterdon #theangryredplanet #angryredplanet

In the end, they only had Iris's word for what happened. There were no recordings of the giant space amoeba, or pictures, or anything. (We have pictures of Sam shagging his gun, but no pictures of woman-eating plants or space-ship sized amoebas). What actually happened was she got tired of Sam […]

If anyone asks, I am practicing Japanese for an hour and a half today by watching @miru #Monsterdon

Over to @miru now where I am promised some traditional(?) Godzilla violence #Monsterdon

And the Martians tell the humans to fuck off back to Earth, because humans suck. Sometimes when humanity is being especially awful I think to myself, "This is why the aliens won't talk to us," and the writers of this movie seem to agree. But man, that bat-spider-thing! A+ monster design […]

wut what even happened and what is the rat/bat/spider/nightmare up to... spinoff please Thanks as always @Taweret for hosting and everyone for posting! #Monsterdon #theangryredplanet
