@resynth1943 i don't respond well to passive aggression. if you have something you want to say to me, you now know how: email. if you don't, please don't @ me.
@resynth1943 i don't have any unreads, i dunno what you mean. my masto instance is glitchy though, email is always the best way to reach me. sneak@sneak.berlin.
@selea what brand?
@Synclair this is super cool
@ohaisammich @selea you don't need the sdr to do the breaking, just ethtool! see above
sometimes when i'm sad i just watch this and it helps a lot
@selea sounds like a new security issue to test switches for!

@ohaisammich noch nicht. it should be here in 24h.
@sarvasana i run macOS on my imac pro, my 16" 64gb rMBP, and presumably on the M1 air that will arrive next week

Even *reporters* whose job it is to be accurate, like Jon Porter at the verge, fell for apple's intentionally confusing language:
He claims Gatekeeper (the OCSP checks) are encrypted, citing apple's page, which says *no such thing*.
I'm astounded at how good this PR trickery is.
@hafnia this is gr8
