Weaponize traffic collisions with ICE to force them to exchange insurance and doxx them that way ? It might work sometimes 🤭
RT: hoosier.social/users/KrissyKat…

Illinois won't let ICE and the feds run around with fake or improper license plates. There have been videos of ICE agents allegedly committing hit-and-runs and vehicles with masked men without plates or improperly displaying plates.

Just heard about Bitrig, an iOS app that lets you "vibecode" apps in Swift UI from your phone. It was created by some X Swift UI devs who used to work at Apple, and although I haven't yet tested this out I have no reason to think it wouldn't be accessible. This could actually be a really fun way to learn, as you can not only see the final result, but also view and edit the code. You can even share your new app with friends and deploy to TestFlight. Link to the main site: bitrig.app

Build apps for your phone, on your phone.

Jewish General Hospital reinstates mask mandate as flu season kicks in early

"It's not a bad thing to reinstate wearing masks in a hospital because you have sick people by default," said Dr. Karl Weiss.

#PSA If you have a do-not-resuscitate (#DNR) order, make sure it's visible at all times from the entryway of your home.
This PSA brought to you courtesy of my elderly uncle being resuscitated, intubated, and put on a ventilator by EMTs, against the wishes in his DNR, because they didn't know he had one, and now he's lying sedated in an ICU, and I, as his healthcare proxy, am responsible for deciding whether to continue providing the care he didn't want or withdraw it and "see what happens." 💔

I currently have availability for Rust coaching, adoption, or development; from a single call to ongoing 3 days/week. I can help your team get things done, adopt Rust and use it more effectively, or to accurately evaluate Rust as a new technology.

If you're adopting Rust, I can help make that a success with advice, 1:1 or group mentoring, design and code review, or online support. ncameron.org/coaching

If you're building with Rust and need a short or medium-term boost, I can join your team, quickly get up to speed, and deliver. I have expertise with async and unsafe code, database implementation, distributed systems, dev tools, and language implementation. ncameron.org/consulting

I was part of the Rust project for 10 years, on the core, dev tools, language, and compiler teams. I helped Microsoft adopt Rust as a principal software engineer. I've been working with diverse clients using Rust for databases, networking, CAD, aerospace, and more. ncameron.org/about

Wow, Jackbox Party Pack 11 really took a slide back in accessibility that's for sure. No correct answers are shown via live regions, in fact that trivia game doesn't even do live announcing at all. Avatars are no longer accessible but unlabelled buttons. For all the ways packs were improving, this one was as though nobody took any lessons and just repeated the same inaccessible experience creation they were all familiar with. Unbelievable.
(oooh!) update: Liam (who's a well-known gamer in this community) mentions they're aware of some of these, I might still write up an e-mail with all of what I can find but let's hope a game update will fix many of my gripes soon.

Which reminds me. I did buy the game twice, Party Pack 11, once on Apple TV and second time on Steam. If friends whish to play and get together to do so, all here for that - we can explore issues together and see how good each title is. I get it for both platform types because with local friends, Apple TV works way better, but for remote playing and piping audio Windows or Mac OS is great. Haven't tried the Linux version, wonder if Steam would read the webview with Orca right or not, hmm.

@collectifission Yes and no. It's one of those things where once you understand the architecture, it's obvious. But you should at least be familiar with normal full/incremental/differential backup strategies and how you'd do it for a tape library.

I should make a blog post about how to set it up in a simplified configuration people will want: backups just go to to a regular filesystem location, they're written to files that are virtual volumes // simulate a single-use tape (has to be fully overwritten, not appended). And are limited to, say, 5GB each so they play nicer with file sync tools.

The real question is why are admins not publishing SSHFP records? (And using dnssec to secure them).

Most admins don't even publish the fingerprints in a location that users could find even if they wanted to do the verification.

Ask yourself, how would you do the verification today?

Blaming users for a failure of the admins is just lame.

A (badly) hand-drawn picture of an imposing medieval-style castle with battlements and towers, titled "Fortress SSH". Cryptographic terms are written all over the castle. The walls are captioned "STRONG ENCRYPTION"; the central battlements "BULK INTEGRITY PROTECTION"; one of the towers is labelled "POST QUANTUM KEM" and the other "PUBLIC KEY SIGNING". The castle gate is labelled "NON-REPLAYABLE AUTHENTICATION". The entire fortress is supported precariously above a grassy plain by balancing on a single narrow and flimsy-looking pole, labelled "Actually checking the server's host key".

if you control your infra end to end, why do you need SSHFP? You can have all your servers publish their keys into LDAP automatically and then those can all be injected into the known_hosts on every admin's workstation. This is how I've seen it done. You always know the correct public keys for every server and don't have to involve DNSSEC in the mix.

If the attacker can get enough control to mess with those LDAP records DNSSEC wouldn't have mattered, they probably could also gain access enough to change the SSHFP records too.

I could see SSHFP being useful for internet facing sshd, but just put it all behind a VPN and then I think it doesn't matter as much anymore except in the most extreme security-sensitive scenarios.

Если верить Платону, человечество потеряло способность мыслить, когда бог Тот подарил египтянам письменность. Не знаю, смог бы я с ним подружиться, но тут он точно не прав. Имхо, всё развитие человечества происходит скачкообразно — в моменты, когда мы находим новые способы обработки информации: изобретение письменности, книгопечатание, математическая нотация, компьютеры и вот теперь ИИ

I love Joplin so much. I set up the selfhosted Joplin Notes at some point, and I have never, not even one time, had to touch it. It updates itself, it doesn't crash, it doesn't take up enormous amounts of system resources for no reason, and all the apps just work with it on my Windows, Mac, and IOS computers. I've even got other users on it, and it works just fine. And the apps are also good. Offline? No problem! You can still look at the last version of your stuff. Need to publish a quick, well-formatted single page to the web? Done with a snap!

@nick@quinn You could also run cosmos-cloud.io. It'll run and update your dockers for you, configure your reverse proxies, manage your SSL certs, etc. But the nice thing is it uses the standard methods to do all of those things, so unlike other server management GUIs, you can do stuff via the command line or via cosmos-cloud and it doesn't matter.

@matt@nick@quinn to be fair, it's not something you should do in an enterprise environment. In general, updates for things that aren't your hobby need to be deployed to staging, tested, and only then pushed to production. Watchtower just does an in-place update of the containers. But that's fine, and probably even better, for hobby projects.

I've been using IndentNav for a while to write Python. Recently I installed BrowserNav and now get way more positional info about HTML elements. It took some getting used to, but now the beeps and tones help me get an idea of the physical layout of a site or electron interface.
It's similar to IndentNav, but it has more rules and works with web browsers instead of being focused on code in a text editor. Positioning is one of the pieces of information that I forgot how much I miss from my sighted days. It's especially helpful with API reference docs that rely on positional encoding. Since there's more info in the browser, I only have beeps instead of precise indentation levels to get a general idea of the structure

For a while now, I've been trying to figure out why certain VST plugins would completely crash Reaper, or at best, break the entire plugin stack, which would at least give me enough time to save a project.

Turns out the problem was a virtual display driver I installed a while back, which apparently has some weird conflict with the AMD graphics driver on this laptop.

When certain VST plugins attempted to render their on-screen interface, bad things happened, and error code 87 occurred.

Removing the virtual display driver fixed it.

Windows is dumb.
