If you gripe about `curl ... | sh`, and also using "agentic" anything, I'm not inclined to take your opinions seriously.

Something that’s been bothering me for years in the security world: why do researchers demand bug bounties for vulnerabilities in open source projects, when the very contributors maintaining and fixing those issues get nothing, just goodwill?

It feels deeply unfair. The burden falls on unpaid […]

Today we are calling on institutions around the world to take control of their #digitalsovereignty, including their social accounts. Governments should communicate directly with their citizens on open platforms, not through the mouthpiece of a corporation […]

Imagine having a billion dollars and wasting your time doing anything other than:

1. Reading novels in the bath
2. Making art
3. Traveling
4. Cooking and eating
5. Giving heaps of cash to awesome people and institutions who need it

Interesting new research shows the human brain rewires itself during five distinct “epochs” over a lifetime (with turning points at 9, 32, 66, and 83), with markedly different characteristics in brain architecture in each phase. This suggests cognition and intelligence do not simply increase to […]

For the Americans in the room... If you're hanging out with family this week and need a movie to watch, Playdate was hilarious and cute.

I'm not even a slapstick comedy person and I was cracking up.

Enjoy! […]

@monkeybrains signing me up for political mailing lists that I never asked for is so far beyond disappointing. Glad I made the switch to Sonic.

You just lost a years-long Monkeybrains advocate.

My personal heroes and projects I admire are @signalapp @Mer__edith @torproject @gnome @thunderbird @ryanleesipes . I’d much rather have Mastodon be inspired by the contributions of these people and projects to the FOSS and non-profit technology world than trying to rebuild early Twitter.

The "tax resolution department" scam people have clearly identified me as a mark who will eventually fall for it if they call me enough times.

A technology leader told me today they are not getting as many people to try #ai as they would like because engineers don't blindly trust the LLM.

When you #selfhost, you will never have any problems with #aws being down.
All you have to do is:
- Ensure you have a decent power supply
- Have your own servers
- Be able to troubleshoot networking issues at 3AM because your electronic lock won't release and your child can't get in the house
- […]

Today is my first day at AWS.

I noticed a small bug in DynamoDB clustering implementation and I think I fixed it.

Shipped to prod already.

Going to make a coffee and will check back if everything is working.

It's that time of year again.

There is a major disruption to the Internet and suddenly everyone is an expert on why people made architectural decisions that they know nothing about and then explain how you're clearly doing it wrong.

People talk shit about California drivers, but you know what I've not experienced here? Road rage.

Yes, people here do stupid shit, like constantly, but they're also very chill. People let others merge, they move out of the way, and generally try to be courteous to others. It was the first […]
