Looks like the website and databases of ODIN Intelligence (law enforcement & police tech company) were hacked and defaced.

NASA’s Retired Compton Mission Reveals Superheavy Neutron Stars

https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2023/nasa-s-retired-compton-mission-reveals-superheavy-neutron-stars

"Astronomers studying archival observations of powerful explosions called short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have detected light patterns indicating the brief existence of a superheavy neutron star shortly before it collapsed into a black hole. This fleeting, massive object likely formed from the collision of two neutron stars."

I wanted to take a few moments and apologize to many of my former students.

In the past I said the industry needs people who look at security as a vocation and an avocation.

I was wrong.

Have a life outside of this industry.

Have hobbies that have nothing to do with your computer.

Get outside.

The problems of the industry are not problems of people not working hard enough.

They are not problems of people not being "hard core" enough.

They are problems of education and resource prioritization.

I was wrong.

I am sorry.

Stop breaking yourself on rocks for people who don't really care if you break yourself on rocks.

Today I learned of the existence of the "pizza donut".

The concept of the "majority" is particularly troubling. By always accepting the will of the majority, democracy allows for majorities to have an absolute tyranny over everyone else.

Instead of going to Brussels in February, I'm going to print out this sign for my office door and then watch the talks on my phone from the kitchen for the proper #FOSDEM experience.

@FoxNews

still think it's no big deal?

Someday I'd really like to write a Git extension that makes git repos into self-contained projects more like Fossil.

My main goals is to have something as slick and easy to host as Gitea but more suitable for single-user instances and with a more traditional email-oriented workflow, ideally with all state including mailing list and IRC archives stored in the repository like Fossil repos.

I've looked into trying to host my own Sourcehut or the traditional stack of Gitweb/Cgit + GNU Mailman but they're both really clunky with way too many moving parts that would be hard to manage and back up.

Ideally you'd just have to install git and this program, make some minor config edits, start a service, push up your repos and everything would just work; including an IRC archive bot, mailing lists, maybe an ActivityPub gateway for receiving patches and bug reports from Gitea, and a friendly web UI to manage everything. Every time you pull your repo it will download email messages and IRC archives and you can run this program locally to view everything in a web UI if you want

I think most of the conceptual groundwork if covered already by projects like this https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug

this is controversial but I think we haven't done enough to help the coronavirus. civilization is on the outs anyway and this little viral accelerant isn't doing enough. little freeloader could stand to pull her weight around here. we must immediately fund gain-of-function, chimera and immune escape research at any halfway-decent biolab that wants it. together our nightmare of an urbanized global society can be overcome. we can make Earth prosperous again, we can make Earth safe again, we can make Earth great again! #OmegaStrain2024
