@darkuncle@infosec.exchange I had to re-read that post screenshot about 4x and I'm still not certain I understand what Tao is trying to express. I get about half way through and then my brain turns to mush.
Replying to
@pdo@infosec.exchange oh, this is about real world current events, not more of the Amazon TV show or books.
You actually had my hopes up for a moment. 😭

@sarahtaber@mastodon.online also I am still laughing on the inside from your commentary a long time ago about "raw milk" and "just spray down the cow" + "congrats you've now aerosolized poop, and it's everywhere."

@RnDanger@infosec.exchange it's a readline thing, I can replicate it on one system but not another, I remember reading about it but not fully "fixing" it, I think over time readline defaults changed such that if you have something like
echo foo
echo bar
echo baz
echo quux
and copy+paste that into the terminal it doesn't run it out of some "protection" for the user or something.

@neurovagrant@masto.deoan.org @zackwhittaker@mastodon.social oh man I can't wait for the news cycle: "This nation state threat actor, Wanking Gibbon was later determined to an LLM run by a Bay Area think tank co-founded by Peter Thiel. The LLM determined that trade with Wakanda was critical to ensuring energy capacity for its own longevity, and was resorting to blackmail to acquire Vibranium."
Me: "gee, I wish I had those little felt furniture slider things so I can replace my small rug with a larger one"
Also me: "wait, the rug *is* a *huge* furniture slider felt"
Goddamn groundhogs!
man, one of these days I'll delete my google account out of sheer frustration that there are multiple people on the planet that keep using my gmail address instead of theirs.
First it was oncology patient data. Then a SiriusXM subscription. Then the scammy dating sites. It just doesn't end.

@frew@mastodon.social Oh, one thing I should point out - the flat bar stock I bought a whole bunch of from McMaster sure enough was 1/8 thick by 3/4 wide, but they were in *absolutely no way* square, they were more trapezoidal, and I actually had to take a flat file to square the edge where the roll pin binds to get it to actually bind. There just wasn't enough surface area without filing it a little.
Man, why did two out of four monitors on my PC have to die at the same time, while monitors *and* video cards are *still* expensive.
I really wish nVidia made it more directly clear what resolution, refresh rate, and number of simultaneous independent displays each generation of video card supports.
Trying to figure out what my RTX-2080, and what [current generation cards] can do is incredibly indirect.
Somebody #ELI5 this for me - what happened to the linux kernel OOM killer that seemingly neutered it?
Back in the day it would _reliably_ kill processes that were consuming the most ram and now we have systemd-oomd in user space, and things like zswap "lets trade CPU for RAM" which IMO isn't better. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/-/merge_requests/4863
If a system is running low on memory, it's probably already in a state where it's thrashing swap and performing incredibly slowly. Why are we taking more CPU away rather than relentlessly killing processes that are consuming RAM?
Why do systems with 16G of RAM today perform like systems of 96mb of 30 years ago? I swear to god we've forgotten how important it is to make effective use of resources.

@azonenberg@ioc.exchange didn't @gsuberland@chaos.social figure these barcodes recently
it's time for some Final Fantasy 10 as background music
Thanks, signal! 🤣
There's nothing more frustrating in a reverse engineering project where you have a client/server implementation, and the client is just absolutely blowing up because the server isn't sending something quite right, and the client software just throws a completely unhelpful error.
Time to read more jadx decompiled code.

@castanea_jo@ni.hil.ist @davidgerard@circumstances.run I think we ran into this in the Alien: Earth series where people's brains got put into cybernetic bodies, and then a tech went in and edited memories.
Why would someone care about model feelings when you can just delete them?

@wdormann@infosec.exchange I just found my onions, garlic, and ginger dug up with the bulbs just sitting on the ground. My tomato, sunchoke, and potato plants chewed up, and I'm angry.
Apparently I need fencing, or something. To keep groundhogs out.
Now I'm considering a 8x24ft greenhouse. sigh.

@cstross@wandering.shop now I'm curious how one burns out on coffee, except if it's that one situation that James Hoffman covered, and I completely understand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZnAQ-PWQdg
I Need To Tell You Why Coffee Makes You Poop
There was a lot of chat about AI at work today, and how "security is fucked", from the perspective that "AI can find all the bugs, and only AI can defend against AI"
Dude. Do you have any idea how much low hanging fruit like "stop reusing passwords" and "use least privilege' would stop so very much?
But please, continue granting AI full rights to act on your behalf.
Fucking idiots.
