RE: https://infosec.exchange/@munin/116082939677200078 Ooh.. this is pretty interesting. And takes a twist I did not see coming, but makes absolute sense. Worth a read!

Not all heroes wear capes

Maybe they should use AI to figure out how to lower RAM prices…

Budweiser. Made of America. Owned by a Belgium company, AB InBev.

Ugh. Fuck those “He gets us” commercials.

Was that xfinity Jurassic park commercial mostly AI? It certainly looked it. Ew.

The old Debenhams department store in Bristol has been turned into an indoor skate part called "Shredenhams". Lots of little kids crashing about in the morning, and teens/adults in the evening. Great use of vacant urban spaces. #bristol #regeneration #skating

WTF are the folks running google workspace smoking? Apparently there's a new DLP rule called "[Default] Global - Gender Identity" that basically blocks your mail if you use any gender-based identifiers in your mail. Needless to say, this was blocking a ton of email for folks and I had to […]

WOW.

Anyone following me that uses WUD? I used to use watchtower, but apparently that was abandoned and it's no longer compatible with the recent docker update. So I went searching around and WUD appears to be the tool to use, but I'll be damned if I can wrap my head around the config.. #docker […]

lets be honest, we're doing you a favor making your pc unbootable.

And just like that, another Dresden book down. Every time I finish one of these books, I wonder how the next one could possibly be as good.. And every time, they are. Can't wait for more. #bookstodon #dresdenfiles

Amazing new indie video games games site by former Polygon folks. https://www.mothership.blog/ #ghost #indiemedia #outpost #videogames

Finally finished Assassins Creed Shadows plus the DLC. Spent 200 hours and 37 seconds in that environment. So much fun. And I’ll probably be back if they release more! #videogames #assassinscreed

About to sit down and start the new Harry Dresden novel.. So if I don't make it to work in the morning, I blame Jim Butcher… #dresdenfiles #bookstodon #imaystayuptoolatereading

RE: https://techhub.social/@rayckeith/115934519377920631 Turns out “EXPLODE” really means crack and rupture.. My dreams of seeing a tree detonate and spit out shards of wood in every direction have been crushed.. *sigh*

Who was laughing at those who scan port TCP/23 again? https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/01/20/2

Still don’t like em, but at least I can finish these Vita HIIT routines now. Granted, I take about 3x as long as the estimate, but I’m pretty sure their estimates are garbage. For instance, today was 5 routines, four of them combos, with 2-3 sets in each. So something like 25 sets total? They […]

It’s 7pm. Josh Johnson is late. This is bullshit.

Dear LinkedIn Spammer, What part of my LinkedIn profile, exactly, makes you believe I'd be a good fit to speak at a conference about estate management? Seriously, please tell me so I can fix it. *sigh*

Wife made Kapustnyak for dinner. Those Ukrainians know how to make an amazing soup. Yum!

If I ever get a boat, I want it built from whatever this thing was built from. 30 strikes to sink it! #WordsAreHard

Crossed 180 hours in AC Shadows. Time to visit this new island! #videogames #acshadows

Wow. What a cool experience. #keeper #videogames

Never heard of Searle’s Chinese Room before, but thanks to @cstross and his book, Rule 34, I have now. It’s basically what an LLM is.

Finishing up 2025 by reading Rule 34 .. Glad I'm reading it and not listening to the audio book. There's enough Scottish in here that I'm not sure I’d understand the whole story otherwise. :) Good book thus far, though. Thanks for writing it, @cstross ! #bookstodon

So excited… https://mastodon.social/@gameshedge/115707237834974061

Dear Tech companies, When I call tech support for a basic problem like account setup, having someone who is clearly grasping at straws to figure it out is not helpful at all. Why do your front line support staff not have an in-depth knowledge of the absolute basics? I'm not asking anything […]

Hemsworth makes a passable Geralt, but doesn’t quite have the right oomph behind his “Fuck!” … Yennefer has it down pat, though. #witcher

SCIENCE!!! #science #tistheseason #booztodon

It snowed here. And I discovered something. I had a very important task I needed to complete over the summer. I failed to complete it. Thus, I found myself this evening, shoveling a very long driveway by hand. Dear future me. Fix the damn snowblower.. *sigh*

Insider threat in a single post. And why? Not because this is a bad person, but because the company is treating them like they're worthless. Don't forget, treating people right is also a part of security. When folks are unhappy, they're much more likely to take these sorts of actions. And all […]

OK, who narced?

Fuck is right. But something worth reading. #fuckcapitalism #povertyline https://furry.engineer/@soatok/115611317032211785

The Cloudflare outage it taking a long time to resolve.. I posit that this is because it caused OpenAI to go down as well and how do you fix problems if you can't ask ChatGPT?? #outage #cloudflare #ai

Yeah. She’s definitely coming out of her shell. These mini pumpkins are lasting longer than any other toy we’ve given her. She destroys even the Kong toys, but these pumpkins last a while, even being bounced all over the deck. #dogsofmastodon

This is unacceptable. They 100% profiled this person. I guarantee they weren't white. This shit is unacceptable in a truly free society. This is what we're fighting against. https://www.threads.com/@keithboykin/post/DQwavVCjskh

Hi @snipe !! Did you just get here? I could have sworn I was following you before…

I have mixed feelings on this one. On the one hand, I'm happy democrats retain their majority. On the other hand, I do actually believe that term limits are important. https://flipboard.com/@spotlightpa/spotlight-pa-0q01viucz/-/a-RGLXociaSsudxn51evShZA%3Aa%3A3421926908-%2F0
