Just in case you had the slightest doubt about what Elon Musk is doing with X/Twitter, look at this brief thread. He is one of the true monsters of our era, and he uses X/Twitter to guide his fellow right-wing extremists to ever-more-extreme places. If you are still there, you should be ashamed.

Was destroying everyone in Halo with abandon as per usual when I really felt like the haptics had kicked up quite a bit. Then I realized it was my watch vibrating from getting about 1000 Signal requests. Yes, distributed denial-of-Signal is a thing. #krebsisveryrevenge

Haha but serious: those fountain pens that cost thousands of dollars are collectible art pieces that aren’t actually optimized for a good writing experience. They’re CEO bait. Serious hand-writers use fountain pens that mostly cost between $30 and $200. You […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

It’s Friday, which obviously means today is the day to push all your untested vibecode to prod before the weekend, but remember that (at least for those of us in the US), next week is a short week presenting one of the best opportunities for code pushes. 🦃🍂🍃🍁

I got an email the other day telling me how to read maps backwards. Turns out it was just spam.

Oh, the memories.

“What began as an effort to identify individual officers has evolved into a far more ambitious accountability tool. Soon, organizers say, every incident will be mapped to who was there, which ICE facility or federal agency they came from, what vehicle they used, who led the team, and how many […]

Just a typical item in today's news that would, as recently as 2015, have seemed like a passage from a work of dystopian fiction.

/11 Trump is what he is: an increasingly demented jumble of personality disorders prone to barking out whatever angry stupid thing pops into his head. And he’s the “leader of the free world.” But many politicians who took an oath to uphold the Constitution will echo his lawless dreck.

I am fascinated by Cloudflare’s assertion that the status page is fully independent of Cloudflare’s hosting and that the fact that it went down during the Great Flarening was pure coincidence. I suppose that’s not *impossible,* but it seems like surely there’s an unintended backend dependency […]

Ice and Snow in Pembrokeshire this morning. Quite cold but I can hear drips of water of various items so it's already beginning to melt as dawn continues. Time to light the fires, stay inside, get better. Back to work next week hopefully 🙂🤞

Watching some dumb horror movie, put on the desert ("cabin in the woods" model) and of course there's drugz, and one of the characters talks about 2C-E! It's part of the 2C series made by Sasha Shulgin (alexander Shulgin) also author of PHIKAL (phenyalanines I have known and loved), cataloging […]

If all the people who work at airports told you, "don't fly that airline," I hope you would listen. When all the musicians who have the freedom to be honest tell you, "don't use Spotify," you might consider other options for listening to music.

So real talk, all you folks bloviating about "lazy devs relying on Cloudflare" to protect from bot swarms: What is my option, eh? I have a small website. My hosting provider's answer to the botswarms is "use Cloudflare". Best I can manage on my own is to toss 403s at all of China. It lowers […]
