I vibe-coded this yesterday to help deal with my timesheet at work. I didn't find the way GitHub presented my activities useful for tracking my time.

github.com/mgifford/gh-summary

Seems to work OK. Would love feedback on how to improve it.

#GitHub #Timesheet

Here's a 20-minute tutorial In which I demonstrate how I use #Suno AI to cover/remix my tracks in new ways. A few people have been asking me to show this because the website's a little incomprehensible, so I thought I would do a bit of an explainer.
Here, I'm using NVDA screen-reader in windows with Google Chrome.

If you are attempting this on MacOS, you will likely have to interact with the item and move over to the play button before being able to do VO+Space to play your item. If you don't, nothing much happens.
In all other respects, MacOS works very similarly to windows, so you should be able to follow along with this demo successfully.

While I'm generally very pro-EU, this #ChatControl initiative they keep pushing - despite experts persistently debunking the rationale behind it - is indefensible.

Instead, this initiative will create an extremely invasive surveillance state where everything you type, view and receive is automatically scanned & potentially (falsely) flagged for human review.

This would mean the end of privacy.

If you are an EU-citizen, please consider writing to your MEPs.

ÖPNV: Warum deutsche Zustände nicht "normal" sind

ÖPNV-Fahrgäste in Deutschland sind viel Leid gewohnt. Hier ist Normalität, was nicht normal ist. Das zeigt auch der Blick ins Ausland.

check out nextcloud AIO with collabora if you want to selfhost (it's free except for your hosting costs and your time) - it can be used for collab - or just check out collabora online - collaboraonline.com/

Cryptpad is great if you want E2E encryption, i.e. your documents can't be read by the server hosting the documents

I think nextcloud can be set up with E2E encryption too

So among the various things i #selfhost is my NAS. It's just a desktop that I installed a nice disk controler and some 12K SAS drives and #TrueNAS. But it lives, like a lot of my kit, in the garage. And it's hot in the garage tonight. Ambient air temp is like 82F/28C at 23:00 at night.

Most of the time it's fine. CPUs tend to run around 45C just doin normal stuff. But when I do an scp of a film I've digitized on my laptop, it goes over gigabit ethernet and that seems to warm up the CPUs. For the whole like 45-90 seconds the scp is running, the cores get super hot. Then it calms down.

Other arrangements could be made for Air Canada customers, this was an unnecessary move by the federal government.

"The Liberals are violating our Charter rights to take job action and give Air Canada exactly what they want -- hours and hours of unpaid labour from underpaid flight attendants, while the company pulls in sky-high profits and extraordinary executive compensation,” said CUPE Air Canada Component president Wesley Lesosky in the release."

Air Canada can’t afford to pay flight attendants for all their work, but can afford $M500 to buy back shares?

For only £2.39 on Kindle at the moment in the UK, you can get all 4 of the Man of His Word fantasy books.
Nearly 1,800 pages of escapism which enthralled me greatly the first time I read it. I've been back a handful of times, too.

It's light (but moving), entertaining YA fantasy. The good guys are good, the bad guys are bad, and there's not a lot of grey area. It is a bit heavy on the traditional gender roles, Inos is a princess but she's not helplessly waiting to be rescued, and while Rap is the strong commoner, he's not always right, or always doing the rescuing. They're genuine (if young and not overly complex) people.
It's clever, diversionary fantasy with a rich magic system. The sequel is just as good too, which is rare.

I keep hearing about this one and it's finally finished, so I can start it.

lol, "collective bargaining" apparently means you can go on strike for about 12h before the gov't orders you into binding arbitration

Reminder that the strike is about a women-dominated workforce doing unpaid labour while executives get huge bonuses. Carney's Liberals are exactly who we warned they were. www.ctvnews.ca/business/art...

Wo ich die Tage wieder ein bisschen #Schach gespielt habe, bekam ich auch Lust auf ein lockeres PC-Schachprogramm.

Leider sind die meisten Schachprogramme leider staubtrocken und die pseudo-intellektuellen Sprachsamples von #Fritz gingen mir schon damals auf die Nerven.

Richtig gut fand ich damals #SchachDemSchweinehund von #Chessbase: de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schach…
Das brachte durch spitzzüngige Kommentare die Atmosphäre einer lockeren Schachpartie gut rüber. Was vergleichbares kenne ich leider nicht.

Kurioserweise ist das Spiel sehr schwer zu bekommen, weder digital archiviert noch gebraucht als CD. Und Videomaterial existiert auch keines auf YouTube. 😳 Da könnte auch das etwas stümperhafte technische Fundament schuld sein: Ich erinnere mich noch, dass ein elendiger Videocodec (von Real Network oder Microsoft) für die Animationen des Schweinehunds genutzt wurde. Außerdem gabs noch einen CD-Kopierschutz. 😮‍💨 Dürfte vermutlich nicht leicht sein, das auf modernen Systemen lauffähig zu machen...

Took some time today to catch up with Johann Rehberger's Month of AI Bugs and wow... 15 examples so far of major prompt injection vulnerabilities in products including ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Amp, Devin, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot and Google Jules simonwillison.net/2025/Aug/15/…
in reply to Simon Willison

TBH, what I'd actually want to see are examples of *real consequences* of those bugs.

Nobody can dispute that misconfigured S3 permissions and default MongoDB passwords are dangerous. There are plenty of actual companies whose data have been stolen because of these problems. Prompt injection vulnerabilities, beyond the simple "write a glowing review for this paper" in white font on white background, still seem to be largely theoretical for now.

Listen on todays Keynote by Daniel Stenberg (@bagder) maintainer of curl project.

Key Points
- OSS project maintenance is hard
- Keep OSS secure is important, but work
- AI enters the game, flooding issues
- Filter: AI is polite, Human not 🤔
- AI can generate beautiful false security reports
- "A total waste of time and energy"
- Friction in the reporting process is needed, but unknown how
- Can be AI used for good? "Possibly"
- curl and other project needs to mitigate
