@p3ter It's all we ever needed.

Bocker: Docker implemented in around 100 lines of bash.

Hostages released! So happy to see the fighting over!

“Don’t Look Up”—a reference to the 2021 film of that title but also a phrase the researchers say describes the apparent cybersecurity strategy of the global satellite communications system. “They assumed that no one was ever going to check and scan all these satellites and see what was out there. That was their method of security,” Schulman says. “They just really didn't think anyone would look up.”

I see the software team at Jeep is having fun.

QOTD
"In recent decades, the most dynamic economic engine in history, American capitalism, has pointed its powers at addicting people to their products. Using the best available science. It’s become a predator prey relationship. We are the prey.

Social media, porn, nicotine, junk food, fast food, smartphones, streaming, energy drinks and gambling. Each perfectly engineered to hijack our reward systems, enslaving us to their wishes.

Might we be the most addicted society in history?

Sleep deprivation is the silent amplifier. It wrecks willpower and deepens dependency. Yet it’s worn as a badge of honor, a cultural flex that rewards self-destruction.

On some level, many people realize that they’ve become powerless amidst the ocean of addiction that engulfs them daily. They’re powerless over what they eat. Dependent on stimulants to function. Compulsively checking their phones. Unable to turn off the screen before bed, unable to go to bed on time. Scrolling through the night, trapped in a loop they can’t escape.

As a result, they’re fatigued, depressed, anxious, metabolically unwell, and lack basic self-respect for the inability to do and become what they want in life."

@SwiftOnSecurity it is fascinating that he basically predicted the Hezbollah pager strike by Mossad years ahead of time. Someday we'll find out they actually read his paper and were like "we should really do that though"

@SwiftOnSecurity weird cartoon plane icon accounts

"The simple problem is," the aquarium consultant sighed, "your sharks are too ugly."
"But what can we do?" she cried, Nothing will make sharks cuter!"
"And that is where you're wrong" he smiled, slowly pulling out a large plate filled with an assortment of cheeses and crackers.

Many people have higher paid positions than mine. If one is lazy, his company should fire him and give me the job. Worker protection laws are imposter syndrome laws. They protect imposters so people with imposter syndrome support them. They're bad for the 99% of workers who could move up.

Gen Alpha LOVES networking. The first packet your computer sends on a new WiFi network goes to port 67, which is why they get so excited when you mention 67

@ericphelps I mean, to be fair there were some significant issues with the integrations. e.g., if you wanted to decrypt a PGP email to Alice, you just send her a plaintext email with a long signature block she probably won't scroll down and read, and put the encrypted message at the end of that. Most PGP email integrations would decrypt the encrypted blob so when she replied, you could scroll down and view the plaintext.

But your point is generally right. I'd just phrase it as, we need open standards and then we can use clients or plugins that can communicate securely over those. Or decentralized infrastructure and code that isn't so easy to influence.

Signal: If chat control passes, we are outta here. You're on your own, Europe. Signal won't work or help you.
Big X accounts: Worried about chat control? Use Signal!

I swear it's a cult.

I'm going to be honest, I will never forgive SVG for being XML based.

@btp maybe *something* to do with the photo

@cargot_robbie That's nice! Clearly shows trouble on busy streets without bike infrastructure. I wonder if there's a way of also showing some kind of measure of cycling traffic and/or car traffic? Or if that would be useful as companion maps to not be too busy on the same one.

All I'm saying is I wonder when the next time a recruiter for an Austin based tech company is going to reach out and ask what I'm looking for.

wtf, Austin?

I wonder if Philippe Oechslin ever got royalties from hard drive manufacturers 🤣 Many a gigabyte were consumed with the painstakingly slowly downloaded 🌈 tables... but they did work!
