Making a tech salary and still living paycheck to paycheck has been my life for the majority of my time in tech, and I want the narrative that it's not possible (or less likely) to be eliminated. Got paid yesterday and because of the fucking debt and expenses I have, I have $250 to my name. This is why I rail so hard for bringing up the floor on equality and stances.

Instead of my usual TTY-based login on Linux, I've spent a bit of time trying to get LightDM/SDDM set up to allow me to use fingerprint-based login.

It turns out you don't even need to do that, pam_fprintd.so can work as-is on the TTY 🥳

Remember that free software licenses are irrevocable - even if a vendor changes a project to a non-free license, the older versions continue to exist as free software. So while we should absolutely criticise vendors who take the work of others and make it non-free, we should also bear in mind that they gifted us the earlier versions in the first place, and cannot take that away again.

seeing a lot of total noobs at #defcon walking around with zero protection to a widely known vulnerability, just begging to get their systems infected with a viral exploit from over three years ago 🙄​ really disappointing because the patch involves wearing a wicked cool face mask like a cyberpunk, though a cheap N95 also works if you've already spent all your money on an anti-RFID wallet or some other fancy everyday carry gizmo
