@Mimesatwork Can I quote you on this?

@Mimesatwork It's still interesting, insightful, and true. And it's for my .plan file, not my thesis. :)

@John16280 @geekaren I don't think it's being afraid, I think it's a matter of knowing when and how to fuck with people in the biggest way possible and be able to justify it plausibly with a straight face. This is elementary school bullying on a state-wide scale.

@mos_8502 Wait - is that a Commodore Colt case?

@mos_8502 What's in the right-hand bay? Flash drive interface?

@thegibson What can we do?

@sj :thisisfine:

TSA did not like my wearing a mask.

Brief layover in Denver. Jandering around, repping hackers.town (as one does). Rocking the Defcon uniform

This older dude, taking to another older dude in Farsi stops dead, looks me up and down, looks at the Antifa Specops pin on my shoulder strap and my h.t shirt, and says to me in English "That's punk rock."

Guy gave me a dad nod and went on his way.

I think I made somebody's day.

@Truck I can hook a few folks up with accounts on mine (server's been around for a couple of years now, backed up daily, if it helps).

@Truck I can't tell the... Tone is the wrong word, can't think of the right one right now, sorry... So I'm going to go on sysadmin autopilot here because I just got up.

Contact lists. Omemo keying information. User defined notes. MUC memberships (and configs for ones the user set up). Avatars. XEP settings.

And, you know, the user database.

All stuff you don't want to have to set up all over again. Due diligence and caretaking of something other people use.

Amazon seems to be convinced that collapsible multifunctional grapnels are necessary for my electronics projects.

@trishalynn I don't mind at all. Why would I get upset about someone trying to reach me when they speak a language I don't?

@clacke That is a possibility. If that were the case, however, functionality of the Gmail frontpage would be broken, wouldn't it?

Gentlebeings, this is uBlock Origin's take on Gmail. Please note, this is not cumulative but a single load of the page.

@theruran We were allowed to study their source code. Only under very strict conditions.

They basically turned a conference room into a SCIF for three weeks. And supplied all of the hardware, because we couldn't use our NASA issued laptops.

But yes. Time ran out.

@theruran Hi. I'm not an apologist. I worked at NASA (GSFC) when we were contracted to do the forensic analysis.

We didn't find anything. It was remarkably tight code.

What we did find was that the floor mats were loose and kept slipping forward over the accelerator pedal, forcing it downward.

I'm not saying C is great. It's not. This is not a good example demonstrating that C is not great.

Ouch.

Finished four of my 1541 mod cables. Toned them all out to make sure the connections were good.

Think I'll give one of them a try tomorrow.
