Apparently the hardest part of writing detective fiction is contriving a way for a detective to be present at a murder scene. Which is why so much detective fiction has implausible coincidences to frame the story: detectives who just happen to be invited to the country manor when a murder happens, detectives that happen to have a relative in trouble, detectives who just happen to be visiting the village fair as someone is shot, and so on.

A hush had fallen over the Drones Club smoking-room, a circumstance which, in itself, was nearly as shocking as the thing which had caused it. There, in the wingback chair by the fire, lay the Hon. Alby "Biffy" Bassington-Fitch, cold as yesterday’s mutton, and with a most definitive paper-knife protruding from his back.

By his side, on the occasional table, sat a half-finished whiskey and soda and a neatly addressed envelope containing an I.O.U. for a sum that would have made a tax-collector blanch.

"Murdered!" breathed Freddie Littlehorn, with a sort of ghastly relish. "Struck down in his prime! A mystery!"

"A dashed outrage," agreed Cyril Ponsford-Smythe, peering at the deceased as a critically-minded horticulturalist might regard a disappointing melon. "Who on earth could have done it?"

"The butler, what?" suggested someone from the back.

"We haven’t got a butler," Freddie pointed out, rather deflating the theory.

I made a custom Firefox icon you can actually use as the app icon now! Also I did a little interview with the folks over at Mozilla about it, check it out :)

We've written a new guide on Federated Identity (FedCM).

The articles helps you to understand what's happening under the surface when a website works with an identity provider (IdP) to add federated sign-in for their users.

We cover the main flows as defined in the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol and its security features.
We also present how the FedCM API helps with moving away from third party cookies, and we list some strengths and weaknesses of Federated Identity.

In a federated identity system, a website delegates authentication to a third party.

Interesting, AS1299 (Arelion/Telia) has made ASPA objects for... AS0 (aka never transit)

This is... a bold move.

Glad that they will be the lab rat for how well this works in practice for a "transit free carrier", given that in practice it seems that a lot of the transit free carriers are not entirely transit free

足立レイ 第２次直立/脚動作実験　2025.12.07

電源系を一新して足首のギアをジュラルミン製にしてパワーアップしたのでその効果を確かめに。主電源はHIKOKIの電動工具用バッテリ。配線も太いやつに交換して強化した。ノイズが結構すごそう。要ノイズ対策。

I need you to stop scrolling and read the most human piece of writing I've read in a very, very long time.

Thanks, @WeirdWriterRobert Kingett.

Edit: If you feel like you got a lot out of this piece, I'm sure Rob would definitely appreciate some subscribers to his newsletter and tips/a paid subscription if you can afford it! It's not easy making a living as a writer.

Due to some unlucky coincidences, I saw the lemmy release notes 21 minutes after it was released.

Recently some malicious users started to use an exploit where they would post rule violating content and then delete the account. This would prevent admins and mods from viewing the user profile to find other posts, and would also prevent federation of ban actions.

If people are curious if one can just delete an actor in the W3C ActivityPub context. Well no.

I have not investigated the details.

SwiftUI gives us a lot of control when styling SF Symbols, including custom foreground styles. One simple technique is to apply a foreground style with an inner shadow to make an icon look cut out from its background: nilcoalescing.com/blog/AddAnIn

Trump’s so-called peace deals are falling apart fast, and it’s no surprise. While he brags about ending eight wars and blames Zelensky for blocking his “biggest breakthrough,” the truth is simpler, he strong-arms sides into shaky truces without fixing the real issues. From Gaza to Congo to Thailand, violence keeps flaring up.

It's not peace, it's PR.
