Somehow an eclectic guitar player from Montreal, Queen's touring drummer, and both the bassist and the keyboard player/musical director of the UK's premier Queen tribute band recorded the best ever cover of Your Love by The Outfield.

And they never released another video!

Related to your story on fucklapd.com, AdGuard DNS is blocking access to the site as it's been flagged as phishing or malicious in their intel data. But it's clean per virustotal.

Might be a mistake, might be on purpose.

Sammy Hagar and Joe Satriani co-wrote Encore, Thank You, Goodnight as a tribute to Eddie Van Halen. It's a fun song and it might make you feel good to listen to it.

Hey @lizdye.bsky.social! The audio on recent shows is kinda wonky (low audio levels — hard to hear you and then LOUD commercials).

Any chance y'all can fix this for future episodes?

If you had Larry Carlton, Jay Graydon and Eric Johnson playing on your first album, you might be a little timid about how you mixed your solos as well. Nonetheless, as Rick Beato demonstrates, Christopher Cross TEARS IT UP on Ride Like the Wind: www.youtube.com/shorts/N7-QA...

Each year companies publish their list of 2025 security predictions - I'm guilty of having written quite a few myself.

Not one 2025 security prediction imagined a US government so consumed with chaos that it created an ideal environment for attacks by foreign adversaries. We're bad at predictions

This is both unsurprising and unsettling. Wrapping employee surveillance in euphemisms and extrapolating various metrics seems antithetical to a civil society.
The network technology giant Cisco offers to turn Wi-Fi access points installed in offices and other buildings into a system that tracks the location of employees, customers, smartphones, laptops and other devices for a wide range of purposes #workersurveillance

In my case study published today, I examine a second category of systems that enable employers to profile employee behavior in physical spaces.

Several technology vendors provide systems that use motion sensors installed under desks or in the ceilings of rooms to track desk and room attendance.

@dragostech.bsky.social and I are anti-government censorship enthusiasts (it's why we modified WireGuard to work over TCP).

Barrett Lyon just released this: a pair of tools that disguise TCP traffic as non-VPN TLS traffic and piggyback on CDNs for accessibility.
