The Network Timeline is finished, and ready to ship! Will be making a big announcement tomorrow 😁 #pixelfed
Wow. This is awful. I'm having to look up connection strings in #SQLServer. Why? I ought to know this after doing it for so many years.

Another reminder that carrying around a "smart" 'phone' is a liability not worthy of the 'privilege' of making calls 'on the go' https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20190331/18014441916/7th-circuit-punts-border-smartphone-searches-says-riley-decision-doesnt-affect-anything.shtml
@June@kitty.town I haven't seen one of those yet, but I'm sure I will.
@arteteco I need to get into NextCloud. Haven't gotten around to it, though. And what is that other application you mention? Name sounds familiar, but dang me if I can remember where I heard it.
You can definitely tell a Monday that's tempered by the bright presence of one of your staff. I've been goofing around on Discord all morning with a bunch of guys, and one of them is fairly new to our group. I didn't know what the heck to think of him there for a bit, but he's great. Not to mention, his auratic coloring is unique, too; a combination blue and green. To add to that, he's an Aussie.

In the Netherlands, medical data of hundreds of thousands of patients has ended up in Google Cloud. The data has been 'pseudo-anonymized' but experts consider it easy to connect to individuals, and the move to Google 'unwise', 'risky'.

a reminder that the game Stealth Inc. used to be called "Stealth Bastard: Tactical Espionage Arsehole"
LetsEncrypt
@bob Still can be a nasty cost, though honestly there doesn't need to be. After all, what actual work are you paying for? I've always thought of it that way. It takes a few clicks at most to get a certificate, so, in all honesty, we've been screwed until they came along.

LetsEncrypt
Even though it's a single point of failure the appearance of LetsEncrypt has been an important factor in the re-decentralization of the web.
I first started running gnusocial some time in 2015. I would have started earlier but I only had a single TLS certificate to be used sparingly and didn't particularly want to run it unencrypted, given firesheep and all that. Self-signed certs were also an annoyance since they tended to produce a lot of browser warnings.
The cost and complexity of obtaining CA certificates was a limiting factor before LetsEncrypt.

I've been working on my presence here; lots of stuff from Twitter doesn't show up here anymore, so I think my posts will seem a bit more on the original side of thing. Only goes one way, now. Mastodon>Twitter, not the other way around.

I just read this article by my #phylogenetics professor. It is framing a bit the natural sciences as historical, tackles the envy of physics held by many natural scientists and makes an analysis of #Darwin as an ecologist, highlighting how he already pointed out most of what is now the staple of #ecology.
Wildly interesting.
