I’m temporarily-boating up to Boston

Cold fusion only needs another 10 years to bake, but then it’ll be awesome.

Hm, I don’t really see the sneer. They wrote a nasty bug, got notified and had a patch out for it within 36h. The remediations look reasonable too: better privacy, less firebase, actual security audits; even the bounty program is probably the right call (but they result in so many shit reports, it’s probably a wash).

I gotta admit I’m kind of partial to them and their browser? It’s the non-Brave one that ships with an Adblocker by default, has much nicer UI than the existing ones, and the sync thing isn’t half bad (if it doesn’t sync security badness to all your instances, ouch). Sure they sound like a cult but I guess that’s how browser dev gets funded since the 1990s.

About a year ago I exported my bookmarks from there and dropped them in a self-hosted instance of linkding (using the recipe that puts it on fly.io with backups to b2). It works like a charm.

LOL, now that you mention it, I think installing FreeBSD was exactly the thing that got my MBR blown up that way. Ever since, I’ve taken a snapshot of the first 512 bytes of any bios-formatted drive…

I still follow developments in Austria a little but I had missed this cursed bit of information. Thanks for the nightmares, hope my dad (a hobbyist stamp collector) won’t fall into that trap now.

Back when I was an active part of the lisp community, it was very easy to spot the people who learned CL from his book because they were without exception the arrogant weenie stereotype.

And he keeps making more innocents to hurt.

This American Psycho spinoff sucks: “I’m in MAGAs and asshatisms”

I recently learned there is a page showing just the comments of the communities you are subscribed to; that works for me because this space is so incredibly low-traffic, but I guess falls apart if you use that account to follow higher-traffic chatter.

I was wondering if we are looking at the same map, and then it turns out there are two Valley Forges: one is a neighborhood in (yep!) the Philly suburbs, the other is a township next to York, PA. The latter is what I was referring to!

I love that this milestone is 2 days overdue, but progress is being made!
