My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

This is a photo of Intel engineers working on the CAD design for the Intel 80286 CPU. I was drawn to the image on the right - since we have high resolution die photos, could we actually find what part of the CPU he was working on? Yes, we can #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing #reverseengineering

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Sono uno dei suddetti amici soddisfatti, nonostante un major incident di Fibercop mi stia facendo dannare da 2 giorni mi sento più tranquillo con Ehiweb a gestirlo che con altri operatori (specialmente uno di tre lettere che durante un incident voleva farmi upselling invece di risolvere).

If you support in any way, shape or form the nazidistro (you know which one) you're getting insta-blocked. I don't care how much your sw is cool or useful, if it targets primarily the nazidistro you can go fuck yourself straight into the sun.

Today in 1960—during warhead installation and checkout operations on a US Air Force Jupiter IRBM at Gioia Del Colle Air Base in southeastern Italy—three explosive bolts accidentally fired due to a power surge, causing the nose cone and 1.4-Megaton W49 warhead to fall 6 to 10 feet to the ground.

Apro la persiana della cucina e vedo un fulmine arancione passarmi tra le gambe in direzione brandina. Le dico "'a stronza!" e si gira a guadarmi così.

You should also toggle this off if you use Tailscale and have subnet routing enabled in your tailnet (apparently this "feature" breaks split-horizon VPN routing in subtle and annoying ways)

PSA: if you have a @tailscale.com setup with subnet routes *DISABLE CONNECTIVITY ASSIST ON iOS 27*. Somehow it completely breaks routing and routes traffic intended for the routed subnets through the mobile network instead of the tailnet! This is completely unrelated to VPN on Demand.

These people were the ones that gave us the unmitigated disaster that is Hacktoberfest and handwaved the consequences of their PR stunt on the FLOSS world, so it was very hard to sink lower. And yet...

Hey @1password.bsky.social, stop supporting people calling for ethnic cleansing and discrimination of LGBTQIA+ people, there are plenty of opensource projects that you can support and don't have a leadership that sucks. Oh, and sack your VP of product for creating this mess, while you're at it.

Could we have a goddamn edit button? [Narrator: "WAFFLES!"]

The US Government designated Autistici/Inventati as a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" and imposed sanctions on their members: www.state.gov/releases/off... I have only one comment: WHAT THE EVERLASTING FUCK?!?!

La nostra è passata direttamente al demolitore

Pointless stuff that lives rent free in my head: the UNIX dd command syntax is so bizarre because Dennis Ritchie wrote it to be as similar as possible to JCL's DD statement.

You've been murdered. Who do you want on the case?

Torment Nexus LLC, the professional's choice.

*OF COURSE* a dangerous project by a bunch of VC-backed techbros is (mis)named after something/someone from J.R.R. Tolkien.

Just received a breathless press release from a Danish restaurant which says the kitchen decided to apply the principles of jazz to cooking. As someone with a size 12 foot firmly inserted deep in both camps, my conclusion, having read it all, is: they are not musicians.

Go Larry!!

Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

I wrote about what was actually in that #Fable guardrail bypass research paper, and why it should never have triggered an #AI model export control. We can't export control our way to cyber resilience. So many tshirt ideas. www.lutasecurity.com/post/the-fab...

What - and I can't stress this enough - the fuck?!?

It really saddens me when people that I used to respect suddenly begin to spread bullshit worth of a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist on something I happen to know *very* well.
