@flipper@mastodonapp.uk @bloor@bloor.tw I'm a big fan of optical interconnects with gold-plated connectors

@LibertyForward1@beige.party I can never hear this song mentioned without immediately watching my favorite cover of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysUjYAi0WcQ

@suetanvil@freeradical.zone all of the gains from Moore's Law _should_ have accrued to the software user, but instead was stolen by corporations to spend on software stack abstractions want to render a paragraph of text on a webpage? load this 20MB JS bundle

@marcusmeindel@graz.social gotta go with the waves!

@wafflesies@infosec.exchange /me wonders if it's even possible to rack up $7T in AWS spend in one month seems unlikely

@0xabad1dea I'm more of a nine fives kind of sysop

@twipped@twipped.social @foone@digipres.club @NanoRaptor@bitbang.social guess we know what bleep bloop cover serves as the soundtrack

@mwk@donotsta.re also: ooh! new ipchains flags! *** l33t_net_guy has disconnected (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)

@trickykat@beige.party what if they're on fedi? :ablobpeekjohnny:

@tek@freeradical.zone @zwol@masto.hackers.town do I have a follow for you: @tikibunnyimports@weird.autos

@glyph used to be that you could find ways to make things better, and leave the business crap to the business folks. they took what you made and figured out how to make money off of it. it's upside down now, with business folks driving design and feature decisions.

@lostdoco @secretbatcave @garius I refer to it as "the fecal touch"

@thomholwerda if you're talking about commercial software the root problem is capitalism (many such cases). you can cherish the craft as much as you like, but when your boss doesn't care about anything but the schedule (and perhaps monetization), there's only so much you can do.

@maxleibman so oblate!

@anime_reference@wetdry.world also: is it worth the effort to upgrade 4x to 6x?

@oivaeskola@toot.community five minutes later:

@carnage4life@mas.to liberal tears on layaway

@lcamtuf finally putting homoglyph attacks closer to the metal

@eloy@hsnl.social ~2005 by the looks of it? https://www.mastercard.com/findacard/credit/images/ph_credit_info_bottom.gif (image of MasterCard with expiration date listed as "12/05")

@mcc@mastodon.social bonus points of they're deployed from the rear of a go kart

@matthewcroughan@social.defenestrate.it did you manage to get getty configured or are you manually opening a shell on the serial port? asking because I had a hell of a time trying to get stty to run beforehand...

@eri hacker: yeah, I had to do USB passthrough to a Windows VM lolwtf

@petrillic@hachyderm.io we've all been there, I think. but regardless of whether the dummy on the near side of the wire is an "AI agent" or an "undercaffeinated but seasoned industry professional", it should not be possible to go from "full database in production" to "abject and irrevocable nothingness in production" in 9 seconds. RBAC is a thing, as are backups. the PocketOS story is a bog standard IT-is-hard story masquerading as an AI story IMO.

@farah@beige.party just wait until they lose their CMBR pillow https://www.particlezoo.net/products/cosmic-microwave-background-radiation-pillow

@PollyGeist@icosahedron.website that's just this, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_luwak

@Shards@kind.social hell, I did several of these just yesterday

@VoiceofDuum@mindly.social @NanoRaptor@bitbang.social ... for he, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it. Amen.

@farah@beige.party check out 8bitdo depending on what system you want it for you can get some very small.

@niconiconi@mk.absturztau.be prediction:

@astraluma@tacobelllabs.net @ryanc@infosec.exchange @owen@mastodon.transneptune.net closest I've been able to get is:

• real domain
• tailscale (headscale actually) with local tunneling
• wildcard subdomain pointing to IP on tailnet
• DNS-01 wildcard cert
• internal DNS that just lies, served on both the tailnet and LAN
• internal sites use the wildcard cert

it... works? no, it works. end result is that a random device on the LAN without tailscale can point a browser at https://whatever-the-fuck.subdomain.bleh and it ends up talking to a real webserver over TLS. Firefox even gives it the thumbs up.

however, this is not a place of honor. no great deeds are recorded here.

@vantablack it really do be like that tho

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io Pod is already plural, no?

@mynameistillian@plush.city "duck jackets" are a similar style (and may be easier to find in cotton)

@nosrednayduj I live in the greater Seattle area. ordered a package that shipped _from Seattle_ to Florida and back. can only guess they're practicing for future mail-in ballot shenanigans

@jessie@mastodon.social I've had this exact interaction giving my pottery as gifts: "Oh wow! Thanks! What... is it?" Welllll... it started as a bowl, but then... <5 minutes later> So yeah, that why I recommend avoiding direct eye contact with it...

@ianthetechie@fosstodon.org 5 hours later: Ian is annoyed at two things

@mcc@mastodon.social sometimes I feel guilty and check out a book

@hailey@hails.org grpc walks into the room then immediately nopes back out

@astraluma@tacobelllabs.net @ryanc@infosec.exchange @owen@mastodon.transneptune.net I feel shame, but at least that shame is TLS terminated.

@RonJeffries@mastodon.social listen - you can't ask that question with only 5 minutes left in the interview

@ThermiteBeGiants@aus.social @zanchey@aus.social read this in the voice of that user study video where does the text document go? it goes in the file hole. where does the network traffic go? that's right, it goes in the file hole. where does the kernel driver interface go? it goes into the file hole!

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems ActuallyBot (positive)

@eloy@hsnl.social so what do we think?

• existence forgotten to the depths of time
• unremovable due to indecipherable permissions
• lost admin password
• inscrutably loadbearing URL

@phooky how are you finding it? I've tried a couple of times but keep bouncing off of it
