Hackers' Pub is a place for software engineers to share their knowledge and experience with each other. It's also an ActivityPub-enabled social network, so you can follow your favorite hackers in the fediverse and get their latest posts in your feed.

ICE has recently bought the capability of monitoring the location histories of entire neighborhoods worth of phones. The data is likely harvested from apps that sell your data, which filters up through data brokers and eventually to companies that sell to ICE:

FreeBSD is started up by the program 'init'. The first thing init does when
starting multiuser mode (ie, starting the computer up for normal use) is to
run the shell script /etc/rc. By reading /etc/rc and the /etc/rc.d/ scripts,
you can learn a lot about how the system is put together, which again will
make you more confident about what happens when you do something with it.

Having been down this road, I am now 100% Team Discourse as a Discord exit for communities who don't require fully real-time communication. And for those who do, Discourse still has options. And as far as moderation, there's very little in the same league.

#ChatGPT falls to new data-pilfering attack as a vicious cycle in #AI continues
Thereโs a well-worn pattern in the development of AI #chatbots. Researchers discover a #vulnerability and #exploit it to do something bad. The platform introduces a guardrail that stops the attack from working. Then, researchers devise a simple tweak that once again imperils #chatbot users.

It's taken me a couple of months to get everything just so and it's involved a lot of code spelunking, but my new website is finally live.
I'm using Ignite from 
@twostrawsPaul Hudson, which is more powerful than I expected. There is so much capability in it that is unfortunately under-documented. But I find it fun to use!
Okay, well, not everything is done. I haven't yet figured out how to get colors correct in dark mode, so that's disabled for now. There is also some planned future content, which I now have a space for.

Gonna visit my friend in prison tomorrow. Sheโs been there in over a month now. Mind you, she didnโt commit any crime, anything at all. To take someoneโs freedom and lock them up is supposed to be the harshest punishment we have. But here itโs people that havenโt done anything wrong. Itโs just that Sweden decided to be better off without them. So they have to sit and wait and hope their lawyers maybe work miracles and avert deportation.

After I chat with some people, I realized I have issues in understanding their concept of nostalgia.
It's some kind of magical thinking.
Something is cool, fun or worth the time/expense because it's old. Time passing imbues qualities into things.
A clone, a reproduction, something functionally identical, does not possess these qualities.
I would understand a "it doesn't have the same repairability or understandability" in regards to an FPGA implementation. I'd understand "it's just a more capable machine wasting cycles pretending to be something it's not" of an emulator.

Feast your eyes on one dazzling bird: the Golden Pheasant (Chrysolophus pictus)! Males of the species have an eye-popping array of plumage that includes a golden-yellow crest, a bright red belly, and patches of green and blue throughout their bodies. Although it's capable of short trips through the air, this bird isnโt a strong flier and tends to stay grounded.

The more I research passkeys the more I realize I want to be adopting TOTP everywhere. Every time I hit a wall with passkeys I'm like "okay, so what the passkey board *should* have done wasโ" and then I realize TOTP has the properties I wanted passkeys to have had. Maybe I should have just been using TOTP this whole time instead of waiting for passkeys. Maybe that was the good thing.

On a related note, a reminder of the timeline of 2020:
Things didnโt turn chaotic and violent immediately after the police murdered George Floyd.
Things didnโt turn chaotic and violent when the video became public.
Things didnโt turn chaotic and violent when the protests started.
Things turned chaotic and violent when they brought charges against Chauvin, and the police flipped out and went on a rage-fueled bender of mass tear-gassing the peaceful protests.
I keep remembering the vigil for Elijah McClain, where a bunch of people were just sitting quietly with candles and playing violins, and the police showed up like OH NO YOU DON'T.
