As a kid I watched the PBS show Ghost Writer, but on TVO. Now my kid is starting to watch it, and, uh.
Wow it's better than I remember.
It is better at talking about race in America than any show I've seen, and it does *the fucking work* to make sure its kids feel like kids but also never once talk down to a kid.
I honestly wonder if, as a show, radicalized me into the person I am.
My wife who has never seen any episode is so fucking invested we've watched some episodes while the kids were asleep.

My site's RSS, for an unknown amount of time, has been fucked, because it gets generated using the creation time on the file. But apparently something is updating the creation time on every file in the directory. Shit.

At the park with my kids. A group of older kids (8-10ish?) are playing Among Us, which appears to be Mafia Tag, where you secretly make someone IT, they all play together, and people can die, then they vote like mafia. If they figure out who is It they play tag with a safety spot.
I am so fucking jealous of this group of kind accepting kids, who are stopping to help and play with my four year old and two year old, while also playing the coolest tag variant in history.

@Hypolite Petovan Oh I know. But honestly, I wish I was the kid I was with this group of kids.
One of them cried because they got deceived in the Mafia portion, and they seemed pretty kind about it!

Does anybody have a connection at Netlify?
Long story short, they won’t work with you if you’re #transgender, and they’re holding my domain hostage. They refuse to speak to anyone except [deadname] via an email that no longer exists.
After explaining my transition to the support rep, and offfering to give them an updated ID, they’ve just stopped responding to my emails. I need to get ahold of a human who isn’t an asshole.
I am so fucking tired of the trans tax.

Fuck KnowBe4.
Phishing Simulation training is so often just a way of making companies and employees feel bad.
But apparently insurance has read a KnowBe4 report and has made our insurance contingent on it.
Insurance companies need to keep up.

For a lot of us IT people, it feels like a losing battle lately. Overwhelmed, under budgeted and understaffed. An already burnt out single point of failure. We KNOW there's a shitload of controls we should be rolling out but we're stuck troubleshooting grumpy legacy hardware or Gertrude forgetting her password again. It's a struggle to get resources because $MGMT only sees us as a money pit until the shit hits the fan, then, if we're still here we can get a budget/help/etc.
I'm just tired, dudes.

I am now, of course, adding to this neverending discourse with this article. But I want to be clear: No one is under any obligation to be nice to the creators of the Humane pin or the product itself, which, even if it worked, is a gadget that relies on mass content theft and the scraping of huge amounts of human knowledge and creativity to make a product that is marketed as making us more “human.” The people making this argument are people who have a vested interest in the general public continuing to canonize, support, and spend money on a Silicon Valley vision of the future that involves the automation of everything, the displacement of huge numbers of workers, and a new, AI-led internet that has so far done little but flooded the web with low quality junk, been used to make fake porn to harass women, and has led eager beaver know nothing CEOs to prematurely lay off huge numbers of workers to replace them with AI tools built on the back of uncompensated human labor and training largely done by underpaid “ghost workers” in the developing world.
@404 Media is literally the single best tech media in the entire world. There are some other reporters out there who are amazing, but 404 Media has the full chain of support.

If you only know the story from reading it in Highschool and thinking it made ants seem cool, please understand it was written in 1930s Germany about the dangers of communism by a Nazi.
Which is why we assign it to be read in highschools.
Never Forget was always said ironically.

Last week we (#ReplayWorkshop) received, free, a full trailer of 275 gallon IBC bottles, already washed, pure HDPE (white or natural), for #recycling with our #preciousplastic shredder. 90 of them in total, about 47 pounds each.
A local trucking company accumulates more than they can sell or reuse. Payment from previous recycler dropped to be less than the cost of labor and transportation. They were delighted to have a local place where they could just bring the trailer and see it emptied.

i’m curious to see how small those become after shredding.
They’re so huge I’m not surprised they’re eager to get rid of them.
@404 Media Hey! You require me to sign in to use your website! Cool! That's fine and good!
Can you give me the option to sign in with a password? My password manager is pretty easy for me to use, but I don't tend to have my personal email open on my work laptop and so your signin flow is really keeping me from using your stuff and is the biggest source of friction for me.
Also - holy shit - your journalism is amazing, thanks.

•@silverwizard @Ruben Schade :runbsd:🇦🇺🇸🇬 @aru I store the password database on NextCloud through the synchronization client on Windows, and the password database has my NextCloud password in it. I'm retrieving the database using the iOS NextCloud app and open it using KeePassium.
I also store all my TOTP seeds in the database using the TOTP plugin in KeePassXC and it's a native feature in KeePassium.

•how do you synchronize your KeepassXC database between computers? I use LastPass, but it limits me to fetching passwords from my phone because I won’t pay.
I’d like to have something like the paid version of LastPass, but with some kind of federated local storage.
I wouldn’t mind storing the passwords on my VPS if KeepassXC allowed me to synchronize to it.
Lapo Luchini
•Can't wait for version 2.7.7 to be in the Ports, as it adds supports for Passkeys! 🎉
(I already use it on Windows and on SteamDeck/Linux)
PS: I also use Syncthing on all my PCs and also on my mobile phone, on which I run KeePassDX.
