stands to reason this would exist, we have a low-current dc power jack standard now. glad this is a thing.

extremely excited to switch to ungoogled android (graphene) as my daily driver as soon as my pixel 6 pro arrives. i put a folder of jpegs into a folder on my desktop and syncthing made them magically appear in my photos app (in their own album). i took a picture on the phone and the file magically appeared on my desktop. syncthing is wonderful.

apparently the nsa was tracking bitcoin users by IP/timestamp (which maps to subscriber ID) as early as march 2013. i speculated as much in a blog post in december 2013. we found out authoritatively in 2018.

@purism i wanted to badly but the screen is terribly low-res and it has a charging port from the '90s. hard pass.

@lxo i will suffer the consequences of there being billions of fools for as long as i am alive, irrespective of any amount of effort i put into reducing that figure

near-death experiences are pretty amazing

@bionade24@mastodon.social this tells the nsa systems running at the edge of the nsa's network (that have access to "full take", aka full network traffic from backbones) how to tag traffic flow metadata for people using tor or searching for tails (the tor livecd)

also interesting: i posted a post to my corporate blog in dec 2014, and IA/wayback has archives from 2015, and it's not in them? the blog posts cut off in 2013...

weird.

i speculated about this, trying to find the blog post or email i wrote. turns out i was 100% right:

this is the first datavibe.net and my second linux install, 1999.

i just found code i wrote in 2000.

it's perl.

it's not indented.

it still bothers me that people just started calling sysadmins "devops" when "devops" literally meant "all your devs are now also the sysadmins". reading a CV that says "lead a distributed team of <blah> developers and DevOps" and i'm like "wtf you don't even know what "DevOps" means then

@shali@kolektiva.social by that (bogus) definition you are doing violence right now because i don't want you to keep shitposting screenshots from my website which you didn't understand, but here you are

as you can see, "doing something that someone does not want" is not violence. violence is violence. you're confused.

@lxo "sitting back"?

people dying of their own lack of education and poor decisions has nothing to do with me. you can try to construct some narrative about how all of the idiots doing idiot stuff is my fault, because with enough handholding some of them might become not-idiots, and thus I have a moral obligation to burn up my limited time and resources to help some subset of them stop being so dumb.

to that I say: not my circus, not my monkeys.

@LovesTha i'm 100% in charge of all of the photos I take

imagine being this mad about people using a p2p network in ways that does not affect you at all. nft rage should be measured in the Ulrich unit.
