I just found an ingenious way to get around the impending @Docker Desktop licensing kerfuffle: I paid them money for the software that I use all the time

We can’t build in public And burnout in private. This sets an unrealistic standard for all following us. Managing mental health and burnout is a big part of founder life.

Imagine if even one of these moonshot motherfuckers had done anything but profit from these last 20 months of misery.

String interpolation in log messages has been removed in Log4j 2.16.0, so one would have to use this pattern explicitly in the Log4j configuration file. In other words, an attacker would need to be able to overwrite the Log4j configuration to exploit this.

I was today years old that I learned when you hash a URL in Java it does a DNS lookup to get the IP address associated with the hostname as part of the hash function.

If you're surprised about the log4j vulnerability, just wait until you hear what happens when you put a java.net.URL into a hashtable

People making fun of log4j as if they never slammed some bash to parse out database credentials for reasons.

This week did not show us weakness in Log4J, Java, or open source. It showed us their relevance and resilience. My🤘🏻to the folks keeping us safe with timely workarounds, fixes, and communications. This was a masterclass in global incident response.

It's incredibly annoying to see a snickering gallery of technologists laughing at the log4j vulnerability because it's Java. It's sophomoric and they should grow up and get over themselves.

🌍 Sign this petition to ban "proof of work" and crypto mining in the UK. In a climate crisis the last thing we need is nerds setting up pyramid schemes, destroying the planet for the profit of a small few.

💯 accountability culture is a culture of care. Accountability is how we grow and express empathy — I can’t imagine a healthy workplace without it.

We have normalised taking pictures and videos of people without consent. We’ve made it socially acceptable to capture strangers going about their day to post to audiences that they themselves are unaware they’re “entertaining”. There is an entitlement to these actions.

It strikes me as a weird contrast when people wear poppies on the tube but not masks? Respect for the dead but not the living

How about instead of telling women to ignore the men who harass them, we consider how fucked up it is that men feel entitled to our attention, entitled to punish us for not giving it until we do, and enabled by a society that blames women for the way men treat them in either case
