Someone in 2010 didn’t want to buy 220 #bitcoin for $1 because it “can take days”

This did not age well.

no one's ever won the main event with aces, but in 2001 dewey tomko did in fact *lose* it with aces:

in the last year there has been a sudden rash of drink spikings and even needle spikings in berlin clubs and everyone has up "take care of each other" signs about looking out for one another... but they dont mention maybe not forcing everyone in the hot confined dancefloor space to smoke your cigarettes with you during a respiratory pandemic.

my consultancy, eeqj, has the website eeqj.com. the http site was broken and not serving redirects correctly for a minute, but it's in the HSTS preload list, which means any modern browser will force https (which was working fine).

two different *security industry professionals* contacted me to tell me my site was down. i don't even have a convenient way of *testing* the non-https site.

what fucking browsers are you people using anyway

@mewmew i think perhaps blob.blob.cat has an issue

@m0xee i don't really know much about how to use nix, it is very opaque and jargony and has its own weird DSL which i don't fully understand, i use it like a code bootcamp person uses git: by copy pasting opaque incantations into my terminal with no comprehension

python3 openssl bindings' build has been broken in nixpkgs on darwin (macOS) for a long while (multiple days) and it's a dependency to like, everything. ugh.

is ELK still the best method for doing selfhosted log ingest/search/index/parse? what's state of the art? is there a single container setup i can use for a relatively low volume of logs?

> The FBI describes the Oath Keepers as a "paramilitary organization" and a "large but loosely organized collection of militia who believe that the federal government has been coopted by a shadowy conspiracy that is trying to strip American citizens of their rights."[16]

soft. ware.

basically hacker news went down yesterday and in this screenshot someone chimes in talking about it saying that they had a batch of SSDs manufactured by SanDisk all get bricked after exactly 40,000 hours (4.5 years) uptime because it overflowed an internal counter and corrupted the SSD's internal state.

someone from hackernews replies and says that the SSDs HN was hosted on were in fact SanDisk Optimus Lightning IIs and almost exactly 4.5 years old.

never trust a firmware
