Nah, if you cover your house in gasoline, it only takes one match for it to go up in smoke.

LLMs are an accelerant in the same way gasoline is.

If you told me you had a drop ceiling in your home so you could run cables easier, I’d believe it.

When I first moved to California I had never lived somewhere with a carbon monoxide detector before. It started going off, didn’t know what was going on, googled it and naturally it told me I had a carbon monoxide leak. Called 911 and exited the apartment.

It was a battery alarm. So embarrassing.

Weird.

Build version: 1.119.1.1400; Bundle info: 451e09d (prod); Bundle date: 26032523; Platform: ios; Platform version: 26.3.1; (Device-ID omitted)

Very interestingly though I deleted this image from my post before posting and it didn’t show me any images, then when posted, it was attached. Something funky there maybe.

I’m on iOS 26.3.1 iPhone 16 Pro. I can’t reproduce it right now, though. When I copy an image and paste it, it is pasting the link and then bsky appears to be fetching the link and attaching the image? Have not seen this behavior before lol.

I did notice this a while back for an image, ended up saving the image and then attaching instead. Assumed it was just a glitch with the specific photo copy, but didn’t really think twice about it.

The Obsidian team is growing from three engineers to four engineers.

Competitive SF salary. Fully remote, live anywhere. Apply below.

I’d love to if it was giving me actual better data. That’s just all it gives me so it’s all I’ve got. I can’t do netflow very easily right now, though I’d like to lol

Yeah mostly the problem is that I see traffic attributed to this, in very large quantities, but can't easily see the ips/ports since Unifi doesn't expose it. I don't like this abstraction. It's probably good for some people, it's a real pain in the ass for a power user.

Anyone with a unifi network setup figure out how to tell what remote hosts / ports / whatever the different "applications" represent? Kind of insane that I can't seem to look inside an application definition to understand what would be blocked by enabling it...

Put on my Disturbed shirt and came down with the sickness.

Most websites don’t need your birthday. They need some bare minimum piece of information that you self-assert is correct to ensure you meet age minimums. Baking that into an OS with an API (provided it stays self-asserted) could make it easier for me to lie en masse without giving up specifics.

Except they already have considerable market share and that didn’t stop the creation of the law in the first place. I understand the slippery slope principle and I agree that it’s dumb to comply, but I also think this opens up some capabilities that would improve privacy rather than make it worse.

The single goofiest scene from Hackers is, without debate, Plague getting out of a car to ride a skateboard down a menacingly foggy alleyway to snatch a floppy drive from Dade without stopping, then grab the car again to continue down the alleyway before disappearing into the fog.

Like I lie about my birth date on steam probably at least once a week when clicking on a game that “requires age verification” and Steam has been asking for birth date for at least a decade that I remember.

Performative age verification is not the part to be freaking out about, imo.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people complaining about Linux projects introducing a field for age in user profiles, as a result of recent California laws.

The laws are dumb, but the age field is performative. Linux has asked for your phone number when creating a new user for decades. It goes nowhere.

A screenshot of the California DMV website for requesting personalized license plates. I entered "RFC2549" into the plate characters and checked availability only to be told it's unavailable via a red error message at the top of the shot.

Yeah of course I can't get RFC2549 as a license plate in California.

Buncha nerds in this state.

I see “F Elon” stickers in the Bay Area somewhat regularly, with conveniently small kerning between the F and E.

I have a car joke but you wouldn’t download it.

I have a terms of service joke but you wouldn’t read it.

OMG Tonight's NCIS opening makes fun of the "two idiots one keyboard" scene from much earlier in the show, which is made even better by it being written by McGee. Honestly hilarious.

Would that make you a void *

You can tell how much power my ADHD has over me at any given time based on how deeply nested my parentheticals get (and how many I forget to close because I forgot I was in more than one (not that I would ever forget something like that).

Oh yeah operationally it’s useless 😂

The CNN level events is a fun one that I actually really believe is valuable - specifically because so many security problems stem from poor technology choices.

I haven’t spent much time in Crowdstrike trying to build out useful metrics but I would love to do this.
