This message brought to you by my apartment. Which was required to meet energy efficiency codes and thus is tightly built. So tight that CO2 climbs into the 1700s while I sleep. The only mechanical ventilation is a bathroom fan. So I have to send my heat and humidity outside along with the CO2.

This one doesn't just wander into my head. It's lodged there as chapter one of my inner monologue on how to be a parent. Do the thing. Live in the moment. You only get finite chances and they run out quicker than you'd ever imagine.

Plus it’s always worth remembering that wanting a liveable planet, drinkable water, justice and human rights really isn’t that radical. What’s radical is setting fire to everything humanity knows and loves for profit and telling us it’s inevitable.

By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net

When they tell us "there is no alternative," what they mean is "stop trying to think of alternatives." To imagine radically is to move beyond the helplessness of prediction: a radical imagination dares to insist that history is what we make, not what happens to us.

"The path forward is obvious. We let Sauron retain full power for another two years. Let the people experience a little more darkness while we clean house. Get our own ranks in order. Get rid of all those unity-chasing wackos that are tearing our Fellowship apart." buff.ly/9WluK1y

Computing is a moral activity, and we must take responsibility for its creation and the consequences of surrendering ourselves to it.

Okay… I believe my PHP hardening is done and have re-enabled my websites. If there is a vulnerability I missed, please leave a note in /home/Andi/www explaining what it was.

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

shitposts aside, this one is serious, my loves: if you’re just waking up and you have any service online running PHP 5.4 to latest, you need to take it down RIGHT NOW and don’t put it back online until after it’s patched absolutely catastrophic vulnerability dropped in the middle of the night
