A 20-year retrospective on reverse-engineering an Apple bug and a very desperate plea for help.
About my trials with the SystemUIServer, reverse-engineering, and how I lost my job at Apple due to my disability and why I kindly request your help.

Does this describe some people you know?
"They don't need other people to like and admire them and they are not critical of themselves. They think they have no personality weaknesses so they don't feel the need to compensate for them. They have no unused capacity, they have already turned all of it to their advantage. On the outside they're not disciplined or self-controlled, yet they are never worrisome or insecure on the inside. They never have serious doubts as to whether they have made the right decision or done the right thing. They don't like change or variety and they feel comfortable when hemmed in by restriction and limitations. They don't think of themselves as independent thinkers, they just accept others' statements without any proof. They have no scruples being blatantly frank with others. They are never extroverted, affable, or sociable, neither can they be introverted, wary, or reserved. None of their aspirations are realistic."
I just took the standard Barnum-Forer script and negated it.

How to change a password on a remote system...
On a BSD or Linux system?
SSH into it and use passwd(1), and done. The same command that has worked for decades.
On that Windows system over remote-desktop?
Some instructions will tell you to use control+alt+delete to get to the password-change screen. But that gets intercepted locally. So can't use that.
Other instructions will tell you to use the Accessibility settings to launch an on-screen keyboard with which you can enter the control-alt-delete to get to the password-change screen. But that doesn't seem to work when I just tested it.
As a third option, you can launch PowerShell, type
(New-Object -COM Shell.Application).WindowsSecurity()
and hit Enter. And that works reliably for me.
I'm glad Windows is such a consistent and user-friendly OS. 🙄
"Rust is hard" isn't helpful. I believe many take a harder learning route than necessary.
There are a few ways to flatten the curve: embrace the mental shift, take small steps, build intuition, let the type system guide you, etc.

If you have a valid VAT ID, you can sign up to UpCloud with the promo `eu5000` to get €5000 of free credits that expire in 3 months.
To an individual that might sound like a weird deal, but saying the quiet part out loud, the point of this is to entice small-medium (European?) businesses to use us while they build, then they go "wow UpCloud good, let's stay!" when the credits are used up 
If you or someone you know is about to build out an org on the cloud, maybe they'll like this!

I have thus far avoided full lockouts because I have obsessive, methodical backups to my backups for authentication on pretty much every site, but this kind of failure mode is close to metastasizing into folkloric “never use passkeys, you will get locked out” peer education, and once that happens, it is never going to recover. You will have users insisting on passwords for the rest of their lives, content marketing LLM slop repeating this nugget over and over forever
@glyph This is one of the reasons I'm reaallll disappointed that we seem to have decided that discoverable/resident keys === passkeys and you should use them for both user identifier _and_ password replacement, because it makes "recover account if something goes wrong" require a lot more thought

We're working hard to have pkgbase (packaged base system) ready for #FreeBSD 15.0. If you've got some time, give it a try on a spare machine or in a VM!

Is there a #fediverse forum-like software? Lenny is alike but it’s closer so digg
Passkeys are great. Passwords have serious problems. But I am just absolutely begging passkey vendors to reckon with the dangers inherent to the fundamentally *opaque* nature of passkey authentication. I have now been nearly locked out of more than one account because a vendor fucked up their integration. For example, 1Password and Bitwarden both silently stopped working with Oracle Cloud months ago. https://github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/12060

<p>Following up on <a href="https://community.nodebb.org/topic/18735/how-do-piefed-lemmy-mbin-handle-cross-posting">this question I asked back in late March</a>, I wanted to continue thinking about how one would handle cross-posting between categories/communities, given that there isn't current consensus on it, and <em>especially</em> given that NodeBB—as of v4.3.0—<a href="https://community.nodebb.org/topic/18788/nodebb-v4.3.0-remote-categories-are-a-go">can now see and browse remote categories</a>.</p> <p>From that original topic, we can distil the following:</p> <ol> <li>Both PieFed and Mbin do not natively handle cross-posts, a new entity is made with the crucial bits (link, text, possibly title) copied over and changed if needed, sometimes a <em>"cross-posted from..."</em> helper text is prepended.</li> <li>There are legitimate concerns that a cross-post might not succeed depending on privilege settings on the receiving end, so a pre-flight check (or explicit rejection) of some kind might be required.</li> <li>Cross-posting can be done by the original author, or another user.</li> </ol> <p>So were an FEP to be written, we'd center it around the following assumptions:</p> <ul> <li>"A user (which may or may not be the object author) is sharing an object to additional audiences"</li> <li>We would use the existing <code>Announce(Object)</code> model</li> <li>We would not use <code>Announce(Activity)</code> because it is not the original object <em>creation</em> that is being announced, but the object itself, to a new audience.</li> <li>Some form of <code>Reject</code> handling would be required for cases where the cross-post is not allowed</li> <li>How the receiver handles the activity is out-of-scope of the FEP. It could be that the original object is contained within multiple categories/communities, or a duplicate object could be created — implementor's choice.</li> </ul> <p>This is <strong>very similar</strong> to an existing announce/boost/reshare, except that instead of addressing the activity to followers list you are addressing it to a group actor's inbox.</p> <p>Some additional questions:</p> <ol> <li>Is there desire from PieFed/Lemmy/Mbin for supporting incoming (and possibly outgoing) federation of cross-posting?</li> <li>What exactly happens currently if a Group actor receives an <code>Announce(Object)</code>? My guess is nothing, currently, but let me know otherwise :smile:</li> <li>Would this allow you to accept cross-posts from other AP applications without needing to refactor any existing code?</li> <li>Duplicating the object would mean the discussion is split between objects. The ideal implementation would be the <strong>same</strong> object present in multiple categories/communities. Is there desire for this in the threadiverse?</li> </ol> <p><a href="https://piefed.social/u/rimu">@<bdi>rimu@piefed.social</bdi></a> <a href="https://piefed.social/u/andrew_s">@<bdi>andrew_s@piefed.social</bdi></a> <a href="https://kbin.melroy.org/u/melroy">@<bdi>melroy@kbin.melroy.org</bdi></a> <a href="https://gehirneimer.de/u/BentiGorlich">@<bdi>bentigorlich@gehirneimer.de</bdi></a> <a href="https://lemmy.ml/u/nutomic">@<bdi>nutomic@lemmy.ml</bdi></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/@angusmcleod">@<bdi>angusmcleod@mastodon.social</bdi></a></p>

Over the weekend the teenager's father is alleged to have killed another police officer by running them over with a car in retaliation for the death of his son.
