@Retrograde every artist steals every time they look at another piece of art if we consider training a neural network "stealing".
@nazokiyoubinbou @zstg there was a problem some time ago where a windows update would mess the ESP up and make an installed linux unbootable, so not even doing it in that order is enough sometimes.

All engineering is reverse engineering if you document things poorly enough.
@mangeurdenuage reciting that mantra in my head unironically helped me through bad times some years ago. Dune based as always.
@CodingItWrong when they do people don't buy them because they're more expensive.
Businesses only adjust to the market we create.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
There is an increase of account takeovers due to insiders at telco firms simply giving control to people paying them. Do a check on systems where this single factor would permit an account compromise. And change the configuration. These are opportunistic trawling attacks. This is becoming more common as attackers replicate the success.
The attacker uses other channels (like people search websites) to enumerate and guess the phone number attached to an online account and then checks against the telco they have control over.
The insider only briefly temporarily forwards the victim number to a 3rd party then switches it back to normal once they’re in. This is how they stay quiet since most victims will not have leverage or telemetry to understand how they got hacked.
It was their cell phone provider.
Make it so account recovery systems require multiple factors and remove telephony-based recovery for VIP accounts entirely.
Go check your systems now. Go try to access all your stuff like you forgot your password.
I am very serious.
@freemo I assume they just announce themselves so the traffic would be comparable to being in a room with some people whose phones have bluetooth turned on and discoverable, especially with bluetooth's puny range.

@evan Babe, you have to take care to recognize all the other software and protocols in the fediverse!! You can't just call it all "Mastodon"!!!!
How the fuck is "segue" pronounced "segway" in the language that pronounces "queue" "Q"? Out of all the times you can pronounce all the letters in the word, you choose this? That's nearly the correct pronunciation in its language of origin. In the language that seemingly takes pride in completely massacring original pronunciations.
Happy new year, everyone!

So its done! I finally released a fairly easy to install (from scratch) Hugo based Static Site generator with full ActivityPub support.
It has step-by-step instructions on how to set it up for your own blog or static website.
One of the coolest features for me, other than having your static site blog posts show up as posts in the Fediverse is the support for interacting with those posts. Any replies you leave, likes, or boosts will show up in the "comments" section of the website on the page associated with the post. How cool is that!
@fox it's relatively bulky, either annoying to attach and remove or holding on a prayer, and it's analogue in the age when AFAIK the last monitors actually using the analogue signal died off somewhere in the '00 years so for the past 2 decades we've been turning digital to analogue to send it through VGA and then analogue back to digital to actually display it.
@nixCraft finally! VGA overstayed its welcome by about 20 years, glad to see it finally phased out to the point that younger people don't recognise it.
