My 3 year old kid has a 1 string guitar to learn to make sound, To protect his fingers I handed him a guitar pick. He yelled "Can I open it!" and started trying to find a seam to shove the pick in to spudge the guitar.
I am... raising children.

Hey #Bhyve/#FreeBSD people!
I'm trying to manage USB passthrough into a guest, I can't find anything in the manpages. Is there something I'm missing?
reshared this
Proper USB passthrough isn’t ridiculously difficult to implement by any stretch, but I guess nobody’s got around to it yet.
@Phil Dennis-Jordan 😷 "Not missing something" is a good answer! Thanks!
I gotta figure out if I have a host I can give my homeassistant server. But thanks!
You can pass entire USB controller (PCI passthru) into Bhyve VM but not a USB port or USB device.
Here instructions how to do it:

've seen so many hearing aids on kids this week, often low profile, some very large, all taking wild abuse, like a child spraying his repeatedly with a water jet in a splash park
and - I feel so good about this - this is the core of accessibility - you didn't see a lot of deaf kids before because they were isolated! and now they're not!

Phillips Hue keeps threatening me they're going to shut down everything. I put their app on a side device that wont download things and I don't update it, and I put their bridge on a no-internet-access VLAN - but I'd like to just not deal with their shit.
Is there a bulb that doesn't deal with their shit?

Security is Threat Modelling
Security Advice or guidance without a threat model is not correct. Full stop.
Last night I had a dream that I was (kinda accidentally) elected UK Prime Minister, and I was confused as hell because I was a tourist and didn't know any of the ritual.
And I think that it's telling about the UK that my brain can find no holes in the theory that this is plausible

Security vendor demanding I install servers in my network running out of date FreeBSD which can't be updated and RCEs in SSH
I really wish there was a compliance framework these types needed to follow
@The Psychotic Network Ferret I think it's so they don't need to tell me it's FreeBSD.
They also tell me to use the IP address on eth1
and the server *is FreeBSD*.
It's 11.4 so it's not dire - but it looks like they haven't updated it ever. I tried a poke at pkg and they don't have their own repo so the repo is just gone. And yes, the SSH is 8.4 from 2022.
The company I work for is really great, but the CEO is toxic as hell
Just completely and impossibly.
We had an outage and he joined the technical call, and started throwing out ideas and forced the response team to *stop* discussing the issue and *instead* explain why he was wrong.

The problem with my current employer isn't the lack of technical sophistication, it's that everyone outside of the dev org thinks my skillset is fungible with every other person inside the dev org.
Despite me being hired explicitly outside the dev org's purview because it *isn't*
1) tell the dev lead about like, DNS changes or whatever, and then they don't tell me "but it's all engineering"
2) asking me to deal with frontend JS or python code that just... I don't know

Honestly, looks like CrowdStrike said some shit would go down because they were contracting. Which uh - good call.
Banks are screwing my wife around. Her mom put some money in an account years ago for her, and she's pulling it out to put it somewhere more reliable, but the cheque was listed in both names, and so banks are refusing to deposit it because it's in the name of two people. So she tried to go into the bank with both of them and endorse the cheque in front of bank employees, which even then they are being a pain in the ass about. This is stupid.
But she went in this morning.

My wife is excited about a Fantasy Ball and now I'm looking for resources for customizing N95/p100 masks? Any good cosplay tips?
reshared this
I can highly recommend magnets and lacey fabrics as good ways to decorate or customize respirators, specifically the disposables.
The Dräger 1950 N95 is arguably the best on the US market right now, and it has the most robust structure to handle added decoration without collapsing. The plastic anchors for the headband on each side also allow for hanging/mounting decorations.
For magnets, there are lapel pins and needle minders, but to customize/add on to, look at hijab magnets.

PS: the Dräger 1950 is what I'm wearing in my profile photo - along with a magnetic lapel pin.
Also, the small size of the 1950 fits the most people

I hate when people talk about hobby tools as like "if you value your time"
1) fixing is a skill you should hone
2) fixing can be fun
3) hobbies are not something to optimize
Discussing valuing someone's time spent on hobbies in dollars is the worst grindset babble imaginable

I sell products ready-assembled, and do-it-yourself kits for building the same products. Some of my customers buy the kits because they really like building kits, and that's great.
But others buy the kits because they think they're entitled to the finished product at a lower price, and they begrudge every second of effort they must put into building the kit. Those people really exist and they are the market for tools that purport to save "the value of your time."
silverwizard likes this.
@Matthew Skala Yeah, that's valid. If you're doing it to save money - that's fine.
But this is a criticism of the *argument*, not the sale. People can and should sell preassembled things, kits, and more! Not everyone wants to build! But if someone is building on purpose, don't tell them to value their time.

once, years ago. I think they sent an email out a few days later saying sorry it was a bug. That obviously doesn't stop the panic.
Can it be translated and tied to a legitimate communication that got hit by a similar bug?
@j_angliss So they've done three in simplified Chinese so far, all with an English translation. They're about changes to Lambda in various APAC regions.
I don't know why as we have those regions disabled and nothing in use in them - but I definitely freaked the hell out.

@Hypolite Petovan The normalization is mostly a matter of fighting the process of seeing security as a cost center and underfunding it.
So - the core thing is complexities around risk and access. Part of corporate culture is risk appetite. Corporate culture loves accepting risk, and so security teams kinda don't have a lot of leverage. And that's where the problem is, ya know. I don't know how to fix that.

Google Docs has been randomly deciding to not let me copy/paste. I use Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V and it pops up the popup that tells me I have to use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy and paste.
This feels like another anti-competitive thing against firefox.

I've been getting that for months. My solution is to switch to @nextcloud with @collabora as soon as this organization acquires another #SelfHosted server.

Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V ≠ Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V *is* Google's fault, and can be fixed by eliminating Google.
