In case you haven't heard, it's Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Not to be confused with Cyber Security Awareness Month, which has an unfortunate initialism.

Attached: 1 image So apparently dang and the HN crowd are so upset I wrote some messages for HN visitors to our website, that they now banned my home IP address 🙃 Yes, seriously. I get 403s from any device on my home connection, and yet it works fine on 4G. Just when you thought they couldn't get pettier. And no, I haven't been doing any scraping/scripting/anything sus.

one big thing I learned about myself this year: if you acknowledge my work publicly (just anywhere outside of private conversation), I’ll forever be loyal to you. I do so much invisible/glue work that I am weak for this stuff.

Many in tech seem to think that if you disagree with something in tech, you must think that it’s illegal or should be illegal. I think LLMs and diffusion models are unfair and that making or using one is a dick move, but are they illegal copyright violations of the training data? I have no idea, but the repercussions if they aren’t legal would be much wider ranging than most realise.

Sometimes I get a reply that is so monumentally stupid that I really miss quote post dunks.

TikTok removed a comment of mine containing “ACAB” on a video of a cop abusing their powers OKAY THEN

My body is not a temple its a deep space station occupying both a strategically pivotal location and also near an actual (celestial) temple.

deep space 9 is incredible because it’s about what if a shitty strip mall was an ancient religious site and also the pentagon

I somehow managed to accidentally delete /dev/null and it’s unbelievable how much stuff relies on writing data to nothing.SSH just doesn’t startsame with tmuxbash completion doesn’t work and spams ...

"An update on <thing you care about>," says the subject line of the email, and all the ex-Google people go "oh no!" (In-joke, sorry.)

Train OH: (from a stereotypical looking "lad" to some very "lad"ish friends) "and yeah so Brighton is great cos you've got like everyone coexisting, like you're out on the town right and there's everyone out, trans people, everyone, and it's like no big deal" (to which another "lad" replied) "yeah man like it should be, it's chill" Tiny bit of faith restored in UK society

Is everybody ready for their gender presentations today? 🧐

I'm out now. No more hiding. I get to grow breasts and wear dresses and cute shoes! Oh, that shower scene from childhood actually happened? Shit. Oh, "Running Pussy" was a high school nickname that really fucked me up? Shit. Oh, I can't actuall buy cute shoes because I'm a monster. Shit. Oh, people literally want me dead. Shit. Oh, some of those people are related to me and say they love me while *still* wanting me dead. Shit. Oh, I have no idea what my sexuality is and if I try to figure it out I'm a freak. Shit. Oh, this idea pretty much destroyed my life. Shit. Oh, I'm supposed to be so much happier now? Well shit.

Keep this handy for future use!

Attached: 1 image Good news! It looks like the noise you have all made has convinced Philips Hue to reconsider. They will not force data sharing on user accounts, according to their response in this The Verge article. We do await the exact changes to their policy. https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/28/23892761/philips-hue-app-account-changes

Someone fork Rubocop and rename it ACAB, please. #ruby

How RSS works: You post a blog post and RSS puts it on a window sill like a pie and then the stink lines come over to me –a cartoon cat– and I levitate and flutter like a dolphin in the air following the stink lines to the window sill and eat the pie for free.

The fedi isn't like email. The fedi is like if you accidentally triple booked a bdsm convention, a FSF convention, and a communist workers AGM all in the same german arena

For anyone who is considering it for their own org, I shifted my org to a four day workweek several months ago, just as others globally are starting to (including, civil servants in Scotland!) 100% endorse. We are getting the same amount of work done because we are less bored, stressed and tired. We all take off Fridays. Everyone’s pay remained the same. Some people use the time for a paid second gig. Others to volunteer or like me, to read a book with a cat snuggled near by. #4dayworkweek

"please explain this gap in your resume" i am very bad at css

It’s no surprise to anyone that I prefer reading peoples’ long-form thoughts to tweets or pithy social media posts. Microblogging is interesting for quick, in-the-now status updates, but I find myself …

Sick today. 🤧 Send personal websites!

It's not "agile" unless it's from the Átlassian region of France, otherwise it's just sparkling chaos

I would love to congratulate @Raspberry_Pi@raspberrypi.social on the new Raspberry Pi 5 launch but they blocked me and a bunch of others for suggesting that hiring an undercover police officer to build surveillance tech would seem a bit dodge. #RaspberryPi #RaspberryPi5

Content warning: negativity, corporate bullshit, copaganda, Raspberry Pi

How do I begin to explain to you why surveillance cops are bad, and why #RaspberryPi hiring an ex spy cop _because_ he used Pis for surveillance and deciding all the criticism came from an organised dogpile and not from marginalised people with something to lose from police surveillance was bad? And why their reaction of immediately blocking everyone and whining to the media was bad? Anyway, that’s why I can’t buy a Raspberry Pi 5 https://petapixel.com/2022/12/09/raspberry-pi-under-fire-by-creators-who-are-upset-it-hired-a-former-cop/

Baffling timing for Epic layoffs, I would have thought they’d want to be sending “having our shit together” vibes following the Unity saga

I'm not just saying this because I'm on the OpenUK board ... State of Open Con last year was amazing, and I expect it to be even better in 2024! Open source software, open data, and open hardware all in one event. As a bonus, it's on the Tuesday after FOSDEM, so we can all travel together on the Eurostar from Brussels to London on Monday 😁 https://stateofopencon.com

Does the new Raspberry Pi 5 come with a cop, or have we all forgotten about that?
