When the European Commission approached us about funding a bug bounty for BIND 9, we were impressed with the proposal. We have a policy against bug bounties (because we were frustrated with people wasting our time), but under this proposal, the YesWeHack team would do initial triage, and use their expertise to minimize the 'slop' reports. This is a game-changer for a small development team.

The bounty program is active, and we are looking for our first valid report.

I just gave Codex an explicit instruction to perform a web search, without actually enabling the web search feature itself (I have it configured with full network access enabled).

It just started hitting random search engine APIs via Curl (it gave up with DuckDuckGo, but tried Jina.ai and that worked).

The times we live in.

Am I being stupid, or is there an easier way to get VO and TDSR to play nice together? I tried using activities to mute speech but this would mean that I’d miss notifications, wouldn't be able to use menus in terminal etc, or, what I've currently been doing, using rtrackpad commander to mute speech manually while I'm in terminal; same issue. Any help appreciated.

@Tutanota iOS app - is it new that when I mark my emails and click "move" then the folders are suddenly presented in reverse order? Previously the "Inbox" was first and then it was my custom folders below. Now all my custom folders appear on top and in reverse order. It's kinda annoying, can you please make it like it used to be? Make the order just like it appears in the sidebar. Thanks

Я знаю что я дурачок наверное, но чета мне так хочется сделать многопользовательскую онлайн игру с квестами, гриндом, всякими штуками и механиками, с лутом, и конечно с циферками (в которых я правда ничего не смыслю).

Пока-что в планах сделать что-то вроде #webfishing но с фермерством, но у меня этот проект в голове как то не укладывается и не представляется особо.

Вы больше похожи не на дурачка, а на героя. Потому что у меня когда-то тоже были такие идеи, но я понял, что я не потяну. Причём я всего лишь хотел сделать онлайн-дурака (извините, pun not intended), в смысле, карточную игру, доступную для всех. Но понял, что по крайней мере пока нет.

Interesting finding: most of the custom 2FA input forms (you know those with single digit input fields) *do not* work on slow internet. Likely because they require some JS bundle that does not download properly or takes forever.
Solution: just use a regular single input field, folks!

I went on a blocking spree today. I was scrolling through the Silent Sunday posts and blocked folks who routinely post images with no alt text. It's so frustrating to see a great image and no alt text, and I just don't need that annoyance.

But I was pleased to note that such folks were a distinct minority. Yay for everyone using alt text!

Seems that IAccessible2 supports alpha, but optionally, and I don't think there's a single screen reader that does anything with this info, at least. Maybe some sort of screen magnifier, but I have no idea how those work. typedef long IA2Color
A value specifying a color in ARGB format, where each 8 bit color component
specifies alpha, red, green, and blue respectively. The alpha value is optional. accessibility.linuxfoundation.…. Pretty sure UIA just leaves the high byte of their long unused, but I could be wrong there. This isn't a complete answer and you probably already knew all of this, but figured I'd pass it along just in case.

It’s been a looong while.

Since my last post I have:

🐶 Switched jobs to another doggy daycare.

🐶 Gone from five days a week to four. This is to make time to…

🐶 Study the dog trainer course I have started with PACT. It’s been a slow start, but I’m being consistent.

🐶 Gained a best friend in an anxious cockapoo called Glenn. This is him below, chilling after shouting at a child.

Life’s pretty busy, my head’s all over the place, but I’m moving forward.

A cockapoo curled up on the floor next to an elephant toy and a tennis ball:

If I wanted to be on a "better" Twitter after the Musk takeover, I would open a BlueSky account. It delivers the same centralised, algorithm driven experience that divides in overhyped influencers and mere click fodder users, just the way all centralised "social" networks are designed to be.

And that's why I am NOT on BlueSky but here on the Fediverse. The Fediverse isn't a better X, Facebook, Instagram. It's the Fediverse. People to people. Embrace the principle and you will be happy here!

RE: mastodon.social/@dansup/115758…

The people who dislike The Algorithm™ are either consumers who basically just want an RSS feed reader (nothing wrong with that) or people who brought audiences over from other platforms.

If you’re trying to create something and find an audience for it on the #Fediverse, you need some sort of recommendation algorithm. Otherwise, you’re just posting into the void.

Friendly reminder, a reverse chronological feed like Mastodon and Pixelfed use are technically algorithms.

in my opinion a chronological feed and impulses is a good method for the audience to find you and sort of recreates what happens in the real world, where you get to know people, organizations or businesses that people talk about, or that you find on the street.
An algorithm that goes beyond that is kind of cheating as far as I am concerned, and it is an open door for future bad practices.
I think the fedi is ok as it is right now. 🤷‍♂️

I pass through the Solstice gate
And I am changed.
I squeeze and slip
Through the narrow place,
The thin place,
Where all our years are seen,
And worlds stack like sheets of glass.
I pass through the Solstice gate
And I am changed.
I leave behind what cannot fit,
Shedding self like snakeskin,
Discarded as old, ill-fitting clothes.
In the no-time, no-place, nothing,
I lose myself, to find it all.
I pass through the Solstice gate,
The threshold, one of three,
And I am changed.

@André Polykanine @Jonathan I am wondering why you think #EAC is not suitable for audio books? #foobar2000 has secure ripping as well so if you like it it's a good tool. Also cdex has been open-sourced years ago and can still be used. github.com/elha/CDex

If you've been having fun blasting aliens in the Audio Invaders game @ChanceyFleet and I created, I just made a new update. Max Energy is now 175 and updates properly when you get energy boosts, there are now hotkeys to hear your current score, energy, and round, and I made lots of internal optimizations. Chancey is also dominating the score board, so see if you can blast as many aliens as her! marconius.com/fun/audioInvader…

TL:DR Mat is a corporate slave, is really tired, and is getting fucked over

Now I don't need to tell you all capitalism is shit but it's wearing me down right now. A whole year with no more than 6 days in a row off, I'm set for 2 full weeks holiday over Christmas, starting last Friday.

Yeah, so some fucker makes comments in a meeting with the fucking CEO of the company, trying to deflect from a shit job they did, risking tens of millions of dollars, and put it on me and my team because I wasn't there to defend us, despite us being the only group to actually do a good job and not fuck up.

So yeah, worked the first 3 days of my Christmas "holiday", including a conference call in the middle of a family celebration meal. Tomorrow I have to find a quiet place for a call with the CEO and all the global Executive leadership to defend my team, who have done an amazing job cleaning up other people's shit, during a day out with friends visiting an exhibition, having a meal and going to football match.

This was my reward for the year, some carefree time, and it's just been laced with anxiety and, frankly, unpaid labour.

Apologies, I'm ranting.

Please don't reply with "fuck them, don't do it" or, "get a different job man" or whatever. It's really not that simple. I've been in this game 25 years but the timing is particularly bad this time.

In der Vorweihnachtszeit haben sie es besonders eilig: die Paketboten. Sie klingeln, rufen Namen, balancieren Kartons und verschwinden so schnell wieder, wie sie gekommen sind. Vor allem in Stadtteilen wie dem Wedding, wo Häuser selten nur ein Vorderhaus haben, sondern auch Seitenflügel, Quergebäude und Hinterhöfe, ist ihre Arbeit eine kleine logistische Meisterleistung.
