@Myunfocusedlife@mastodon.social Itās very hard to be sure, even in hindsight, what would go differently. An amazing opportunity could backfire and send you into a worse outcome. Thereās really no way to be sure. Sometimes making a mistake actually leads you to dodge a bullet you never knew was coming your way.
I know itās no longer a point of pride for a server to have a long uptime⦠so Iāll say I shamefully admit that I just sent the reboot command to a server with an uptime of 1767 days. I shanāt let one go that long again.
@mpirnat@mas.to@onelson@mastodon.social Oddly enough, I actually *like* Secret Life of Pets.
@onelson@mastodon.social Havenāt seen this yet, but Despicable Me/Minions is Illuminationās most famous franchise, and I find it absolutely awful to watch.

So BJās Wholesale Club⦠which I purchased a single thing from in like 2020 which included a one-time membership charge, just decided to notify me that it was āupgradingā me to a subscription membership and would begin billing me.
@teleclimber@social.tchncs.de I like it! Though I generally want apps to have less personality so they feel more interchangeable: I kinda would love to make it easy for more apps to use Sandstorm-style UI elements so they look more uniform.
@LunaBell@mastodon.social Yeah I am not sure it is even available in the mobile app. But when you follow people you should just see them on your home timeline, not get notifications.
@simon@fedi.simonwillison.net I mean considering the B-plot of an entire episode was someone hiring Quark to get a holo-scan of Major Kira for use in an adult holo⦠clearly unauthorized deepfaking has not been solved yet.
Firefox: The browser I solely tolerate because all the others are even worse. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36077360
@nolan@venera.social I mean, the only people who suffer worse weather than us is Minnesotans, in my opinion. But if ice, snow, and occasional -20 below zero windchills are okay, Chicago is decent. š
@LunaBell@mastodon.social Following should only put them in your feed, not generate notifications, unless youāve clicked the bell in addition to following those accounts.
@nolan@venera.social Wow! fly.io is right in my backyard! Iāve heard nothing but good things about them.
@captaincalliope@indieweb.social@owncast@fosstodon.org The biggest sticking point besides auth integration is usually the fact that applications operate in a read-only file system and have to store data in a separate location.
@AbandonedAmerica@mastodon.social You can have the job. Itās clear youāre more committed to it than I would be.
@deirdrebeth@mas.to@AbandonedAmerica@mastodon.social On which platform? I think smart TVs tend to be stingier, but I know on iOS itās a separate app.
@AbandonedAmerica@mastodon.social I think you, me, and 37 of our closest friends could probably do a meaningful impersonation of David Zaslav for a million a year each, donāt you think?
@AbandonedAmerica@mastodon.social I think you, and, and 37 of our closest friends could probably do a meaningful impersonation of David Zaslav for a million a year each, donāt you think?
@AbandonedAmerica@mastodon.social The fact you have to install Max and unstill HBO Max is wild. And the fact that I had to install HBO Max and uninstall HBO GO like two years ago is also wild.

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place Iām a little bummed this toot is followers only because itās hilarious and I was gonna boost it.
This is shockingly on-brand for both Musk and DeSantis. https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/24/ron-desantis-elon-musk-twitter-spaces-crashed/
@ruhrscholz@toot.kif.rocks I canāt wait to see them decide how to handle how to limit usage to a āhouseholdā while allowing the users of that household to use it while on the go, and somehow handling people who live in a given household 50% of the time or less but having legal residence there.
@Bluedepth@mastodon.social Donāt get me wrong, itās frustrating that I come across IT people whose competency *ends* there. But to treat each issue as a problem that you need to independently analyze means you are assuming every bug you face has never been reported by anyone else before, and in many cases, patched already.
@Bluedepth@mastodon.social On the other hand, I can do an in-depth investigation of the issue, research the bugs, etc. for hours only to discover it was already fixed in an update which I can let run while working on another problem.
@nolan@venera.social Congratulations! Definitely hope you can land somewhere a little safer.
@briankrebs@infosec.exchange@renchap@oisaur.com I dunno why I was hoping for something more interesting than āitās worth the money because pay for legit work in Russia is garbageā, but I suppose it tracks.
@vmstan@vmst.io@intrepidhero@vmst.io Ungovernable from the start!
@Myunfocusedlife@mastodon.social I wish I could embrace the cultural phenomenon that is coffee. Unfortunately my nose and stomach is extremely averse to it, and so I am stuck with energy shots, soda, and caffeinated drink mixes. :/
@vmstan@vmst.io@intrepidhero@vmst.io Iām shocking with all of the API restrictions that any Nitter instances are still online.
@Myunfocusedlife@mastodon.social Unfortunately we donāt get out for walks often, but I will say when we did go out like a week or so ago, it was surprisingly relaxing.
@mikey@friendsofdesoto.social@doot@glitterkitten.co.uk It literally never gets old seeing someoneās first reaction to dootās blog. Such high quality writing!
@lightweight@mastodon.nzoss.nz Indeed, but if youāre paying those seats anyways, why spend the time/few dollars on hosting an alternative? Ultimately Teams succeeds solely because itās an expense/burden people already paying Microsoft just⦠donāt have to worry about.
@lightweight@mastodon.nzoss.nz As for why all the Microsoft-based tech stack companies use Teams⦠itās free. Nobody in their right freaking mind would pay money for it.
@lightweight@mastodon.nzoss.nz Windowsā fatal flaw has always been a deep commitment to backwards compatibility. It has a ton of 20 year old security flaws get discovered ultimately because someone was maintaining this or that solely for XP-era compat.
@lightweight@mastodon.nzoss.nz I remember sitting at a presentation demonstrating what you could do with a Kali install, and he tried making fun of Windows security, and I had a Surface Pro 4 (which was modern at the time) on the same Wi-Fi network. I encouraged him to go ahead, and hack my basically stock Microsoft tablet.
@kkarhan@mstdn.social@jerry@infosec.exchange Iād like to think nobody would let that be built today in the US either, but Iām stuck with it for now.
@BetoOnSecurity@infosec.exchange Freaking TileDataLayer 455. Should get you to the right details. But basically PCs upgraded from early Windows 10 expect to have this stupid file pertaining to live tiles or some garbage, and Windows removed the directory in an upgrade but not everything that refers to it. And for a while any time I had tons of ESENT 455 errors in the event log Iād just have to create the two missing levels of file folders for this and the error would go away.
@kkarhan@mstdn.social@jerry@infosec.exchange Not only does my first floor bathroom have hardwood flooring, but it has a vent in the floor about a foot from the toilet.
@Fullnihilism@kolektiva.social I think a bunch of these people here have both insulated themselves on small servers and blocked all the big servers.
@Fullnihilism@kolektiva.social Heh, some Bluesky folks and Mastodon folks have the exact same feelings about growth.
@feditips@mstdn.social Clearly the official app setting a default server was a huge threat to the fediverse!
@hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange Isnāt on here *yet*. We have a mission now.
@vmstan@vmst.io@oliphant@oliphant.social Absolutely. Thereās an exponential cost every time you reuse the letter E in a single toot and itās just unsustainable as a business if you donāt keep that in check somehow.
@mpusto@urbanists.social@BenRossTransit@mastodon.social Yeah I think itās becoming a hard question if a second parent can make enough working to justify not staying home with a young child right now when all the expenses are added up.
@Myunfocusedlife@mastodon.social Apart from some very specific issues (racism, homophobia, and transphobia), I think that tends to be the case here as well, but it isnāt a perfect system. Federated networks do create unique problems.
@TheWerewolf@mastodon.social@AbandonedAmerica@mastodon.social I think itās pretty attached to the Galaxyās Edge park, right? I donāt know if changing the theme would make sense, but I presume the specific design for a very high cost hotel with āquartersā that arenāt very comfortable is maybe a miss on the actual product design.
@TheWerewolf@mastodon.social Iām really curious what theyāll do with the thing. Retool it as a better hotel? Retool it as a ride that you can just visit while at the park? Wait until the politics changes and reopen it as is? Leave it abandoned to rot until @AbandonedAmerica@mastodon.social finds a way to get in? So many options.
@ What is your company interested in it for? One of the things Iāve noticed is ChatGPT tends to look good on a first read, but reveals a lot of mistakes and logical errors when reviewed closely. Also, ChatGPT has a āvoiceā of sorts you start to pick up on eventually: I can generally tell when someone has used it to generate text.
@mpusto@urbanists.social@BenRossTransit@mastodon.social Yeah, childcare pretty much costs minimum wage in the Chicago area, if youāre working minimum wage, you are choosing between childcare and eating.
