No matter how secure a system is in theory, it must be put into practice. After all, information security is not a value in itself, but is intended to protect people from unauthorized access to their data.

It's so sad I'm now even more stuck in a loop than I was before. Like, I'm looking forward to the weekend, just to know on monday everything starts again, and that not until some kind of holiday. No, until I decide I take some days off. And I only have a limited amount of days off. Until then, enjoy the 8 hours of office loop. I mean not trying to sound naive or something, yup I guess that's life but I think I'm getting more and more sure that I don't wanna do a plain office/development job my entire life. It's nice to have the apprenticeship and stuff, but I really need to shift fields afterwards, or do something entirely different otherwise I'm the perfect candidate for midlife crises later lol.

David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)

The original yacc had a limitation that it couldn’t complete a parse if the last token was a valid token and required a white space character afterwards. This ended up being incorporated in specifications in a bunch of places. It’s undefined behaviour in C to not end a file with a new line because early C compilers couldn’t handle it. I presume the crontab rule in POSIX is the same. Modern yacc implementations don’t have this limitation and so there’s little reason not to accept things with missing terminating newlines (in both cases, the program is free to accept non-conforming inputs). At the very least, there’s no excuse for not raising an error.

I must be some kind of weirdo because this LONG nerd-fest documentary is REALLY entertaining to me! It's a history of ARP. I consider myself quite jaded and completely immune to most hype. But if it's got voltage-controlled oscillators and a filter and some interesting modulation possibilities, you can bend my ear and I'll listen!! Moog and ARP are still some of my favorite sounds. #arp2600 #analog_synthesizers #synth

I've memorized many parts of #Canadian Charter of #Rights and #Freedoms - part of the #Constitution of #Canada. I like to educate poorly educated 'law enforcement' on actual laws & listing the ones they're breaking while trying to silence #dissent against government corruption.

Canadian government - just like any other capitalist driven colonizer exploitive lying government - violated many citizens #humanrights to satisfy the greed of their corporate lobbyists. They do not want a large portion of citizens to be highly educated. They don't want to deal with a whole bunch of highly educated dissenters. They rule over us better, when they're corrupt as fuck - over poorly educated citizens - especially when some sellout/foolish citizens do their BS PR for them.

@bmcd this message might be a leftover from a prior version of the channels. The current experimental channels released with v2.35.0 should remain operable also in future releases. But there remains a tiny chance we need to change things in an incompatible way, so therefore the more careful warning/wording.

I remember when the govt made a law to force porn magazines to have a plastic bag with a black box over the cover images, and now the Government actually endorses a nazi app that undresses girls and spews social discord and disinformation.

A vile social sickness has infected our governments, and they're apparently fine with it.

I got a new multifunction radio, with the ability to receive AM, FM, VHF and shortwave bands, among other things.
It can also act as a bluetooth audio device, and when it's switched to Bluetooth mode, it plays a shortened version of the Logon sound from Windows 8 of all things.

#selfhosting week 1, phase 3B bis: Disappointment.
Subscribed to a Ionos vps in alternative to Hostinger, but the interface is much, much more complex (I'm referring to the vps and domains management) - thought Hostinger was the worst.
But, if accessibility declaration on Hostinger says "partially accessible" giving an e-mail address (not dedicated, it's the generic support), Ionos makes me point to an Italian paragraph where they claim barrier-free then says "for support, contact us through contact form", redirecting to a German accessibility page where NO FORM is displayed. Is it this way to treat customers?
Does @fsfe and @EUCommission have something to say? These are fake accessibility declarations.
You can't say you respect all customers, when you make your showcase site mostly accessible but most important feature (the vps/firewall management panels) impossible to use. To give an example, the "edit" button for a single firewall rule is labeled as "y", the delete is "]", the add rule is "@" ... Not to say that @yunohost on Ionos creates ipv6 issues, the port TCP 25 is closed and I need to call them with EXACTLY my phone number to have them open the port for me...
I must definitely try to talk to them and start the refund procedure.
Unfortunately though, Ionos would give me 240 gb hard disk for storage while hostinger, even upgrading, would give me 100.

@menelion I had to listen to my best friend on this topic. "double resources/storage for half the price, where's the trap?" Alex is right once again even without knowing a single letter of Linux, hosting, shared vs. vps, and all that stuff.
Another big issue I had, was that you can assign an IPV6 address to your server, but then you must MANUALLY configure it by editing a file. /etc/network/interfaces or /etc/netplan. I found the documentation confusing and it is a very risky operation, you can unblock it through the ionos remote console, but, what about accessibility of that one?
It's like a guy telling me we're completely safe, and he has a condom in hand. A condom with braille dots on it to make it accessible. Got the idea?
Note for non-braillists: the Braille dots, in paper, are made through a pin which causes a hole on one side, the dot on the other.

Steve Russell—the man who made the first video game—is still alive. Not a myth. Not a footnote. Walking around, same as the rest of us.

In 1962, Russell coded Spacewar! on the DEC PDP-1 at MIT. It spread fast. So fast that it directly led to the formation of Atari. Their first arcade release, Computer Space was essentially Spacewar! shoved into a coin-op cabinet.

Russell didn’t stop there. He wrote the first two implementations of Lisp. He later taught Bill Gates and Paul Allen how to use a computer.

Video games. Programming languages. Microsoft.

Same guy. Still alive.

A close-up of a vintage PDP-1 computer display running *Spacewar!*, shown on a circular CRT screen inside an angular metal housing. Green vector lines and glowing dots form a starfield with two small spacecraft maneuvering around a central gravity well. The room is dim, with the machine sitting on a table alongside papers and pens, emphasizing the early, experimental era of computer gaming.

@nirik I heard straps don't work, they break and fall off quickly. I considered 'socks', but they are quite difficult to put on, you have to move the car like 4 times. There are snow chains you can attach to the middle of the wheel, but they are expensive. Spending $500 on something you barely use once a year...
It's funny that I had the standard snow chains for 4 years, never tried to put them on until now. All those years I had them in the trunk and I thought I could rely on them. It's like making backups without ever trying to restore them and after years you find out you can't. 🙂

Admittedly, this feels like a small problem to have, given everything that's going on in the world, but why does life have to be this way? I'm trying to look at the menu for where I'm going tonight, and I'm having trouble finding the menu on the web page that's supposed to have the menu. So I save the page and start looking at the source, and I find an image called Untitled_design_53.webp, with an empty alt tag, so I think that Orca just wasn't reading anything for it. I OCR the image, and there we go; there's part of the menu (there's another image named Untitled_design_55.webp). I haven't tried in Windows, so I don't know if NVDA or JAWS would have worked any better (NVDA does have a handy OCR hotkey, assuming I can select the image that I want to OCR). But this kind of thing is annoying! I shouldn't need to know how to do all of this just to look at a menu.
