Well there it is. I've finally made it. I've reached the top.

published a lil JavaScript package called is-mdm, inspired by @lgug2z.com's blog post that was at the top of lobste.rs yesterday and wrote a post about it: bnb.im/posts/is-mdm/ https://bnb.im/posts/is-mdm/

A quick post about is-mdm, a package I wrote to detect MDM enrollment that was inspired by a Rust implementation found on Lobste.rs from LGUG2Z.

Cut my hair from feminine short to an enby baddie short again 🥰 Ah the gender euphoria is real

If you dual-license your software in such a way that it requires a paid license for commercial use, here are two code blobs for you. macOS pub fn mdm_enrollment() -> eyre::Result<(bool, Option<String>)> { let mut command = Command::new("/usr/bin/profiles"); command.args(["status", "-type", "enrollment"]); let stdout = command.output()?.stdout; let output = std::str::from_utf8(&stdout)?; if output.contains("MDM enrollment: No") { return Ok((false, None)); } let mut server = None; for line in output.lines() { if line.starts_with("MDM server") { server = Some(line.trim_start_matches("MDM server: ").to_string()) } } Ok((true, server)) } Windows pub fn mdm_enrollment() -> eyre::Result<(bool, Option<String>)> { let mut command = Command::new("dsregcmd"); command.args(["/status"]); let stdout = command.output()?.stdout; let output = std::str::from_utf8(&stdout)?; if !output.contains("MdmUrl") { return Ok((false, None)); } let mut server = None; for line in output.lines() { if line.contains("MdmUrl") { let line = line.trim().to_string(); server = Some(line.trim_start_matches("MdmUrl : ").to_string()) } } Ok((true, server)) } Looking at mobile device management (MDM) enrollment is not a silver bullet for identifying corporate devices running your software, but it is a good start.

This is why I have a website. It’s also why everything I’ve ever written has appeared on my website with *very* few exceptions Having a single domain name that’s YOU is invaluable. My website gets lots of compliments on its branding and appearance. My slides borrow that appearance, too It matters! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

“buried the lede” bro you poured cement over it

I maintain that Crazy in Love by Eden Project is one of the best songs to listen to while you’re Going Through It and can be really present with music

It feels really great to reject someone who offers to pay you money for something you don't want to do a HUGE privilege
