A very bad and likely impossible idea for @bagder: command-line curl adds a way to detect whether it is followed by “| bash" and it responds “You're still doing this in 2025? Srsly?”

#infosec peeps: you may not like the DNS, but you know that it's not always the DNS. The current episode of the Ask Mr. DNS podcast covers how InfoBlox deals with infosec from a DNS standpoint, blocking based strictly on DNS info and not malware fingerprints. (Disclaimer: one of the two hosts is my boss.)

@jessie My employer, ICANN, fits into the "minimally evil" category for most people in the tech world.

General hype from our HR department (close to the same as everyone’s): https://www.icann.org/en/careers

Specific jobs open: https://phe.tbe.taleo.net/phe03/ats/careers/v2/searchResults?org=ICANN&cws=37

Disclaimer: we had an across-the-board 8% layoff in May, and some of us are skeptical whether that will be the last one. But we absolutely need good tech folks.

@sophieschmieg Thank you for sharing the rent-free.

And, yes, this person is real, and apparently believes he is doing something interesting. https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-dresdale/ (don't have liquids in your mouth when reading…).

@b0rk Files. Which implies “remembering the name of that file long enough to import it into the other program” and, if you're lucky, “remembering to delete the file after you have imported it”.

Mid-80's Word for MS-DOS made “put just the selected text into a file" fairly easy; IIRC, WordPerfect did not.

@molly0xfff It’s always hardware. Or the DNS.

@ryanc Bundled colors: good!

@ryanc Not wanting to sound creepy at all, but show us your backside.

@ryanc We can’t properly shitpost about this until we see your front-of-panel cable dressage.
