Google has learned I really like watching math videos near midnight (to fall asleep)

I love watching old anime where the credits use an HTTP:// link instead of HTTPS:// for a real origin at the time

These are supposed to be whole numbers in the database

Today I learn some processes expect the linux kernel to have CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS=4, and some single board computers kernels are compiled with CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS=3 This is.. not great.

Wait.. so GitHub webhooks don't generate the secret for me? Isn't this a terrible idea? At least be like "Generate a secret" button please.

SimpleWebAuthn packages now feature build transparency logs on NPM and JSR! I achieved this by publishing from GitHub Actions workflows now instead of from my local machine. Check out the release notes for more info: github.com/MasterKale/S...

Time to figure out emojis

“Social media sites and chat apps normally strip metadata by default,” which protects privacy, EFF’s Jacob Hoffman-Andrews told Straight Arrow News. ”If XChat is failing to strip metadata, it’s putting its users at risk.” san.com/cc/not-so-s...

Today I learn that Ed25519 only got general availability this summer in subtle crypto. I've been spoiled by Safari having it out in 2023 ahead of everyone else.

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org
