mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06I like to think I'm a student of life and trying to be a better human every day.
I spend my time learning more about #electronics, #homeautomation, #sewing. Getting outside to ride my #bicycle and looking for #mushrooms on my walks is always a plus. #math, #python, #LaTeX, #cooking, #volunteering, #photography, and turn-based #jrpgs and tactics games.

@darkuncle@infosec.exchange I couldn't agree more. We're so addicted to performance and distracting ourselves with work. Bragging about how little we slept or how many extra hours we gave away for free and wearing like a badge of pride. "What do you do" as the go to question when meeting someone like that is all that defines them.
It's so lopsided.

@plutarch@gotosocial.plutar.ch @kajer@infosec.exchange @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I also use a cloudflared tunnel to access my home assistant away from home.
I've been wondering why cloudflare is on the shit list around here

@plutarch@gotosocial.plutar.ch @kajer@infosec.exchange @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I have never delved into tor. I probably should.
I've self hosted before but from a vps for the static ip. I just learned about ASNs a few weeks ago when I found out IoT can still communicate direct to IP bypassing dns blocking on a home router. Still haven't implemented though. Always more to learn.
Also feel uncomfortable inviting traffic onto a home network too.
@sundogplanets@mastodon.social was this your farm?

Then, in 2024, a chunk of SpaceX metal was found on a Canadian farm. SpaceX, which previously disagreed with the F.A.A. report, did not respond to questions. The company now says that about 5 percent of the mass of some satellites may not disintegrate.

@darkuncle@infosec.exchange that sounds like an excellent course. All my favorite professors already had a lifetime of experience and it was the perspective and nuggets of wisdom that set them apart.
I ran into this years ago. Haven't made my way through it but this conversation reminded me of it. Basically a graduate class to each grad students how to teach at MIT. They might have others.

@keithnator3000@universeodon.com you bet! Also if you want to engage with the bike community here, a good place to start is the #BikeNite hashtag. The link below explains the time, what to expect, and how to participate.

Personally I look forward to it every Friday night.

@cR0w@infosec.exchange plus you get some helpful arms and maybe some cats would decide to hang out on those too. You could cover them in carpet or something @catsalad@infosec.exchange

@puercomal@sfba.social @arestelle@dice.camp @ascentale@sfba.social @streetmeme@cycle.town @bikenite@fedigroups.social oh for going to the market for groceries, I've always carried my bike in usually on my shoulder for my ease. I've also wheeled it in on occasion. Two states and many grocery stores and big box stores, I've never heard a peep from anyone.
Replying to
@ascentale@sfba.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social #BikeNite A6 spending more money on a bike? Buying an ebike? Getting a more upright riding position? Whatever it takes to keep you riding, I think is good.
Otherwise I aspire to one day make my own jerseys. I don't see anything wrong with your hat though. The sun can be intense and I recently learned that bike caps can apparently help keep rain out of your eyes. I'll definitely be trying that.
Replying to
@darkuncle@infosec.exchange that's at the heart of my original struggle with the professional realm out of college. I was reminded of it again while getting a masters 10ish years after undergrad. I really thrived in it. I loved learning for its own sake and at best companies might have a culture of it being ok to make mistakes but rarely was there a culture of learning as you go. They'd rather hire the skill than grow it.
The other part of it was clashing with "know it all" egos ... A topic for another day.
Replying to
@darkuncle@infosec.exchange yeah ... The life of a professional student. It was also a dream of mine. Or becoming a monk, but I feel like that ship has sailed.
I always thought my second career would be teaching at a community college. Preferably electronics, but math would work too. I even checked job listings a few days ago. Maybe I should apply and see what happens instead of talking myself out of it.
Replying to
@ascentale@sfba.social @MarkBrigham@universeodon.com @bikenite@fedigroups.social #BikeNite A7. I don't have any mile goals this year. Just to ride more and ride consistently. My ideal would be to ride at least an hour a day, 6x per week though. Far short on that, but also don't need encouragement.
Between heatwaves and getting sick, it's been rough. My last bike ride my heart rate was >20 bpm higher than my last time doing the same right a month ago. I feel like I still haven't gotten over it completely or something.

@401matthall@mastodon.xyz @mhoye@cosocial.ca jokes on them. I only rate it when it sucks which is most of the time.
But now I'll be sure to give lower ratings.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org wow I don't recall ever seeing a coffee plant in a store. That's really cool. What do you think of the finished product?

@fehlfarbe@dresden.network @aislerhq@aisler.social why not also measure the weight of what is left behind?

Replying to
@catsalad@infosec.exchange how do you keep track of what posts go to which account? And then actually doing that? I feel like the only way I could even come close to keeping up with it is client side parsing of hash tags and those hash tags map to certain accounts.
Also seems like there should be a script to add catsalad* to following lists. Welcome to Fedi! Run this script for maximum fun.

I honestly don't think this comic will help with those people. Their brains are probably already mushy enough that they can't see the parallels.
Replying to
@syn_rst@norden.social @badsamurai@infosec.exchange I guess I always assumed that the router would look up the IP and see a substitution for an unreachable address.
Is AS Autonomous System?
I'll have to look up how to do this in OpenWRT.
If you know of a good resource for further reading would you mind sharing it? Also if there are reputable lists of IP/AS to drop, that'd be cool too. I'll go looking regardless but with AI slop I'm worried it might be hard to find.
Thanks for the knowledge and helping keep me safer.

@marty49@mastodon.social also have you ever seen the map of metal? Still needs a computer or desktop mode to view but it's still really cool and helpful for finding how the different types relate to each other.

As for reading, how do you feel about audiobooks?
Replying to
@emily_rugburn@lgbtqia.space @ra6bit@infosec.exchange it occured to me last night that I get Garbage and Republica confused. It's a lot more noticeable listening side by side but back in the radio days much less so.
Replying to
@emily_rugburn@lgbtqia.space @ra6bit@infosec.exchange Sorry also never made this mistake, but then I only know Republica and loved that song.
Replying to
@ascentale@sfba.social @pete@masto.hypertelia.com @bikenite@fedigroups.social #BikeNite A5 sorry, nope. All our bikes are road worthy minus a tire pressure check.
I had one carbon bike with a cracked drive side chainstay. But I gave that to a friend after it sitting for a couple months. Paying for the repair was more than I paid for the used bike. Finding quality fiber was too much for me at the time. I didn't feel like parting it even though it was 2009 dura-ace. But that's how motivation goes sometimes.

@passwordsarehard4@mastodon.social @sundogplanets@mastodon.social which mean nothing for people with no problems plowing through them as we have seen
Replying to
@badsamurai@infosec.exchange Direct to IP means it can bypass DNS? So if you have a pi hole that is enforcing DNS on the network to drop the IPil, it still goes through?
If that's true, I have some very large misunderstandings about home router networking.

Replying to
@womble@infosec.exchange @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange so what's the solution besides verifying safety numbers or public keys?
The only time I can recall this made the news "recently" was the opps we added a reporter to our super secret signal chat that is actually not approved for this information anyway. Was there something more recent?
Replying to
@glyph@mastodon.social sounds like a great read. The software part in the title lead me away but seems appropriate for any technical design from my experience and what you wrote here.
Replying to
@ascentale@sfba.social @MarkBrigham@universeodon.com @bikenite@fedigroups.social #BikeNite A2 in Seattle orgs like Cascade Bicycle Club advocate for repairs through organized events and/or rides to report areas that need to be addressed (we have an app called Find it, Fix it), they (or volunteers) attend budget meetings to advocate for parts of the city budget and try to steer big impact improvements that are needed to make the infrastructure better and safer. Fixing tree root bulges, expanding trails where narrow, making new trails, etc.
Replying to
@chetwisniewski@securitycafe.ca @venya@musicians.today so what were your thoughts on the pen?
Wait that looks like pencil. Why did you lie!
Replying to
@sundogplanets@mastodon.social that stood out to me as well. Our regulatory system is a joke down here. I don't understand how damage to life or property is an acceptable risk for the regulatory bodies or cost of doing business. Well I can understand the cost of doing business given who's at the helm.

Not sure what my alternative is, but guess I can start thinking about it. Add it to the list of projects with all my divorcing from slop and what not.
