Good luck!

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

Bsky staff is scrambling to convince ppl that today's outage has nothing to do with their embrace of ai. That's great. We should make them scramble more. The cost of replacing competent humans with AI needs to be greater on every single level for every single company.

Two days of warm weather and I've already got a wasp buzzing around the house 😶

At least Go binaries are good, right? Right??

In over a decade of edtech privacy work I haven’t found a single edtech app that is privacy respecting , anywhere in the world that I have been shown one

Leave big tech behind! How to replace Amazon, Google, X, Meta, Apple – and more A handful of companies monopolise the web, with unprecedented access to our data. But there are many more ethical – and often distinctively European – alternatives

Earthset captured through the Orion spacecraft window at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II crew’s flyby of the Moon. A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar surface. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region. In the foreground, Ohm crater has terraced edges and a flat floor interrupted by central peaks. Central peaks form in complex craters when the lunar surface, liquefied on impact, splashes upwards during the crater’s formation. [alt text from NASA]

#Artemis II lunar flyby images are showing up! 😍

A crescent Earth setting behind the Moon.

Reverse engineering the 59-pound printer onboard the Space Shuttle The Space Shuttle contained a bulky printer so the astronauts could receive procedures, mission plans, weather reports, crew activity plans,...

They actually had a fax machine on the Shuttle, though the official machine was pretty unreliable so they used a hacked together teleprinter instead :D www.righto.com/2024/08/spac...

Yeah it turns out 😅

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

It's Friday night! Time to order Thai and set up some VLANs 🤓

Mmm 25MHz goodness

A Claude prompt which reads 'Be careful not to introduce security vulnerabilities such as command injection, XSS, SQL injection, and other OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities. If you notice that you wrote insecure code, immediately fix it. Prioritize writing safe, secure, and correct code.' This was found in the code dump that Claude inadvertently allowed. So, like, maybe it doesn't really understand security vulnerabilities.

How'd that work out?

I swear to GOD if you trust Claude to write your code without know exactly what you're doing, what you're looking for, and QAing the thing to hell and back, you get exactly what you deserve.

You are not going to get me to trust LLM-generated code. You're just NOT.

Uhm yeah, who would do something like that 😅😅

Deep space network comm lock

A thing of beauty—Voyager 1 is calling home right now and the Madrid station is also connected to Artemis 2. You can watch the deep space network live anytime you want. eyes.nasa.gov/apps/dsn-now...

Not to brag, but I got 8 hours of sleep *and* got today's #wordle in two 😎

And with that burn that's four humans on the way to the moon for the first time in 53 years. Just wow. #Artemis

Right?! What even is time 🙃

I feel seen 😅

Managed to grab a @steelcon.info ticket in today's drop, see you there! #SteelCon

Here are ten seconds of Flamingoes feeding underwater.

Just spent a few hours fixing a baffling networking issue, resetting and reconfiguring devices, etc., only to find that I'd actually just plugged something into the wrong port 🤦‍♂️

Someone has publicly leaked an exploit kit that can hack millions of iPhones | TechCrunch Leaked "DarkSword" exploits published to GitHub allow hackers and cybercriminals to target iPhone users running old versions of iOS with spyware, according to cybersecurity researchers.

SCOOP: Someone has found new samples of the iPhone spyware DarkSword and published them on GitHub, putting millions of iOS users at risk.

A cybersecurity researcher told us that the leaked spyware is "way too easy to repurpose" and "we need to expect criminals and others to start deploying this."
