@ChrisMayLA6 So given a rounding error, 75% of this type of violence is in-family. I don't know what to say other than what we're doing now to fight this isn't working

@dalias Nice! IPv6 native from the ISP or tunneling?

@wendynather @briankrebs Amusingly it seems that they have migrated all of their mail services to Microsoft Office since the article came out.

So if some government wanted to apply sanctions, all they need to do is knock at Microsoft's door and ask nicely (with court order in hand)

@Steve @GossiTheDog @cthulku Also: are VISA & MC still advertising on X?

@ak @lanodan Been there, have the t-shirt and the scars

Now that’s something you don’t see everyday - a 1970s era Citroen DS that has been converted to a battery electric car.

@inthehands @hailey @dalias Ah, but who wrote the tests? 🤔

Just bringing this one back up again. On the nose.

@foxhkron I now have the song "one of these things is not like the others" bouncing around my head

@GreenSkyOverMe Do you have the raw numbers to do medians too?

@patrickcmiller can someone give me a link to the full article? I have a gut reaction that leads to a scathing rebuttal, but I want to make sure that I take into account what the actual experiments did and controlled for.

@inthehands All reasons why I don’t/can’t watch reality TV or any political coverage on TV.

Neil Postman was right.

@futurebird @ktoddbrown This falls into the false belief that digital natives will magically know everything about computers because they grew up surrounded by them. The number of things I have to go over with students in *IT* courses is astounding (not talking first year either)

@Sempf @tychotithonus @ryanc is that what happens when you hit the age of the port number? Remind me to die before I hit 80 years old...

@patrickcmiller there are some use cases that make sense. The one that drives me nuts these days are the blog posts with a headline AI image for no good reason. Most articles don’t need anything, but a norm has developed where people expect to see an image at the top of the page.

@patrickcmiller The opening line: “Need a good AI image generator?“

Answer: probably not

Granted they can be fun to play with - I wasted a ton of time with Kai’s Power Tools and Bryce back in the day

@fribbledom @lisamelton Heh - talking to someone spending too much time editing that automation to handle all of the edge cases that I didn’t run into on the first round…

@GossiTheDog Out of the gate qualifying question for these vendors: is your software written in a memory-safe language?

@thegrugq I believe that's the result of a limitation in the CVE categories. For some reason, nobody thought to include any of the following categories:
- 🤦 boneheaded default creds
- 🤞insufficiently obfuscated debug tool
- ☹️<insert state name> made us do this
- 🤨forgot to hook up auth mechanism

Who do we petition to get more granular CVE classification (with Emoji shortcuts)?

😁

@elizabeth @lanodan BBEdit? Or maybe just vi? On a file named index.html in the default place for nginx to server it up? Or just create a Github project and populate the readme file?

Sigh. When people aren’t taught the basics first they think everything requires a big complicated tech stack.

Odds on whether this page will end up hosted on K8S?
