Notices by rk: could be an enum (rk@mastodon.well.com)

The documentation for this device keeps specifying things in “Hertz per second” and it’s making my brain itch.

“Do you want the people who run the DMV running your healthcare?!?”

I mean, last time I went to the DMV, I filled out a form, sat for a minute, got my picture taken, and left. Problem solved. I didn’t have people arbitrarily decide I didn’t really need a driver’s license because I had acne as a teenager and then get three bills from two different departments six months later, one of which was “out of network” so…yeah.

My favorite part of POSIX is how the standard notes the dbm functions are not guaranteed to be able to store more than one value because they purposely do not specify a hash function and thus a function that hashes everything to the same value is allowed.

A good jambon beurre is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

I’m a simple man. I like my beer cold, my zeros slashed, and my strokes serifed.

(Serifed programming fonts are surprisingly rare compared to their naked cousins.)

(And dotted zeros look like nipples. There. I said it.)

I would like to think that if we tried to invade Canada, the northern states would rebel against the federal government and/or most of our troops would refuse to obey those orders.

I am, unfortunately, not as sure of this outcome as I would’ve been just a few years ago.

Does anyone know a good supplier of ant farms might be? My kid is suddenly super interested in ants and I want to strike while the iron is hot.

(I would like to point out I have no idea what I’m doing.)

I’m in a meeting at work and NOT ONE OTHER PERSON has seen The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension.

I’m so old.

Reminds me of the old joke.

A grandfather was talking to his grandchildren. “When I was your age, I could walk into a store with two dollars and walk out with a magazine, a hot dog, a Coke, a candy bar, and still have money in my pocket! Can’t do that anymore these days, too many cameras.”

10yo is in the 99th percentile for advanced reading and 95th percentile for advanced math, which means there’s ~20 students I need to go teach 2 + 2 =4 5 to real quick and ~3 students I need to teach bad grammar to, starting with this toot.

Ah, thank you.

Okay so, the only thing I understood from this post is “algorithms”…why are they gonna feel justified attacking someone?

@0x0ddc0ffee

I’m in the same boat as you and looking to migrate to Fastmail. I thought about Tuta but, like Proton, they don’t support migrating *away* from them via IMAP and now that I’m dealing with it, it feels a little too vendor-lock-in-y. At this point, for me anyway, standard IMAP with no hoops is table stakes.

(There’s an IMAP bridge for Proton but to use it to migrate providers is convoluted to say the least.)

10yo and I are having a boys’ night out; eating queso and tacos.

Me: Work computers programming code code work.

10yo: Dad, I have a new project idea for you.

Me: What’s that buddy?

10yo: I call it Operation Touch Grass.

Any PC can be PowerPC if you turn it on

Do you wanna work with the smartest people I’ve ever worked with (and also me, but don’t let that deter you)?

Do you want to write Go code and do vulnerability discovery and device fingerprinting and poking at apps to see if they’re vulnerable and low-level protocol shenanigans…AND GET PAID FOR IT?!?

(And you are in the US.)

#ProtonMail doesn't support grabbing your email via IMAP. They do have an export tool (https://proton.me/support/proton-mail-export-tool) but it spits out a bunch of .eml files with JSON metadata.

I wrote a quick script to convert such an export into a classic mbox file, which should be suitable for importing into, say, #Fastmail

...if you were, for some reason, considering migrating away from Proton Mail.

Anyway, the script is here:

(I wrote the script in like 5 minutes, don't judge me.)

We’re hiring! Are you an #infosec person who likes writing #golang and getting your hands dirty digging in the depths of network protocols, figuring out new ways of discovering devices on networks, finding vulnerabilities, and talking about your research?

Then check out our opening at @runZeroInc for a Security Research Engineer! Yeah you’d have to work with me, but other than that it’s pretty amazing!

Why does #Canada have so many better potato chip flavors than the US? Tikka masala, all dressed, donair…

(We’ll ignore the abomination that is ketchup chips, everyone makes mistakes.)
