@chrisvest right??

> Given that ASN.1 is used in 4G, 5G, GlobalPlatform, SAE J2735, 802.11p, and many more: I wouldn't argue that it is a technology particularly prone to erroneous implementation

@artemist beats me

click to reveal something upsetting

@alberand I don't, I add channels when an op asks me to

still catchy in 2025 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SczXj_SSwWM

fun fact: the oldest web server process on irclog.whitequark.org was started in Oct 2023

@erincandescent @tef oooh, nice idea

catirclogs.org is almost 15 years old at this point, which is about 15 times more than the half-life of a typical VC-backed service. here's to 15 years more of IRC logs (and one would hope in 2040 we have something better than IRC that everyone collectively uses. one would hope)

(it'll be done one last-minute VM resize so that it doesn't run with disk 80% full later, that is)

PSA: *.irclog.whitequark.org now lives at https://catirclogs.org! it has a new (dedicated) server in Germany and runs on NixOS, instead of sharing an aging Ansible configuration with a server in Singapore that has all my personal infrastructure

the migration went smoothly, there shouldn't be any issues, and all of the old URLs will continue to work indefinitely

@aleksorsist very pretty

@azonenberg @purpleidea @gsuberland oh I see, makes sense

@mcc same

@azonenberg @gsuberland they make *really* high power lithium powered handheld air compressors now. fits in your hand, blows out basically everything you'd encounter in a daily life

@azonenberg @gsuberland huh? HFO-1234ze has lower GWP than CO2 itself. I have zero concern about releasing it to the atmosphere

the way to find out why thunderbird refuses to log into IMAP is, apparently, this:

$ export MOZ_LOG=IMAP:5,timestamp MOZ_LOG_FILE=thunderbirdlog
$ thunderbird

(it didn't like it that the certificate for imaps:// has expired and chose to not surface this fact in any way whatsoever)

@ironiridis i run my own mail server and webmail! so far i would consider it easier to get the former to work than thunderbird to connect

@SnoopJ how do you live like this

@nyx they inject javascript into every page that overrides browser's normal webauthn flow lol
