This is a testament to just how hard cybersecurity is. Microsoft had the forethought to not store keys into crash dumps, had the forethought to build a secondary system to double check them, had the forethought to store them on an isolated network, but a cascading failure basically blitzed through all their security controls and allowed nation/state hackers to walk off with critical signing keys.
I'm fascinated by the phenomenon where someone is pushing to add a formal process for something because they don't want to talk to the one person who's doing the thing wrong. Signing the whole industry up for a conflict management course.
I want an apology from all the mansplainers that mocked my belief that privatizing NASA and relying this heavily on SpaceX would undermine the national security policy of the United States.

Just heard that the second largest city in the UK has gone bankrupt. Went to see if it was on the UK section of The Guardian (so help me) but of course the top item there was about how the Prime Minister “is not backing down” on banning medical assistance for trans youth.
That entire country is *fucked*.
Normalize talking about about income, menstruation, mental health, and everything.
Shameful , aka “taboo”, topics are a form of control; a way to keep people in their place.
Shame benefits the patriarchy and the predator class. That’s why calling it what it is — the white supremacacist capitalist patriarchy— is proscribed as well.
Normalize it all
just waited FIFTY MINUTES to speak to virgin media on the phone and they dropped the call instead of picking it up :cry_intensifies:
(this is after 25 minutes last saturday and them not calling me back on sunday as they said they would)
I want to share with you a quick way to make illustrations on your website work in both light and dark mode:
.dark .invert-on-dark {
filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(180deg);
}
Try it!
Toggle dark mode in the navigation bar and see the cover photo swi...
I hate it when you follow a link to a really great blog post and you're two paragraphs in thinking oh my god this is really good but then a modal popup window from substack asks you to subscribe to this newsletter and you have to hit "continue reading" to finish and then you wonder if this great blog entry will last on someone else's service that may not be around in a few years

Nice to meet you 😊
Current status: looking around for a test server that gives you scratch accounts that you can then enable TOTP MFA for, so you can test TOTP MFA clients so you can understand them and the tricks you can pull for TOTP authentication.
There are public expendable-account test servers for email, but I imagine the MFA TOTP case is more obscure (and maybe requires more backend work).
I am famously not a fan of JSON Web Tokens (JWT). Like most cryptography and security experts familiar with JWT, I would much rather you use something else if you can. I even proposed a secure alte…

Earlier this year we stayed at a hotel in Berlin.
They had a little sign that said if we opted not to have our towels washed, they'd give us a present.
On our last day, we were given a little packet of mixed seeds to plant when we got home.
The results so far have been delightful 🥰

worse than touch interfaces are touchscreen interfaces. not only are they even more annoying because they usually have badly calibrated touch, but they all but promise that your UI will look like dated fugliness one year in.

I am helping out on project at work. I worked on the project when it started, and one decision we made was to store ADRs for design decisions local to the project within the repo
Two years later, re-reading these is really helping me get up to speed on why some things work the way they do. In particular we had a mob exploration of the codespace and questions popped up which were answered by these ADRs.
It’s hard to believe that I’m from a generation that paid for ringtones when should this stupid glass rectangle make a single noise now, I’d smash it to bits.
