You guys, I am going to a "space pirate royalty" themed wedding and I don't have an astonishing outfit. Please send help in the form of links.

I have to look up the bins on the council website pretty much every week as I can never remember which one to put out. I always put my neighbour's address in though, just in case anyone at the council is keeping track and thinks I'm an idiot.

This week we had the regular #Tusky Team meeting, and among a lot of good news (new team members, new release coming soon, huge refactorings being done) we also found some areas where we could need some help ->

Help us invent CSS Grid Level 3, aka “Masonry” layout https://www.webkit.org/blog/15269/help-us-invent-masonry-layouts-for-css-grid-level-3/ - WebKit seeking developer input

Fiddling around with Doom in 3D, and struck by how well the Doom engine maps to cylindrical scanning - column-based and only horizontal and vertical planes (almost-horizontal planes stairstep quite badly).
I'm rendering to a voxel buffer then scanning out from that, but I think I could avoid some aliasing by rendering straight to the panels on the fly.

Question: Why do most programmers/developers use a dark theme while writing software/code?

Answer: Because light attracts bugs.

discovering that fewer cybertrucks have been sold than Sinclair C5s has amused me greatly. and honestly, if you want to drive a weird vehicle, the C5 is far more fun.

@Wen @JackTheCat I used to have and apparently called TV Begone. It would send out the codes for all makes of TV or I could select the particular make. Most wonderful app!

I always wanted to use it in a pub when England were about to score in a football game, but being a state registered coward prevented me. That and a probable early death! 😐

Let's do something Putin will hate. Let's rejoin the #EU. And if that means we have to have cheaper food and fuel; the right to live, work, and retire in 31 other countries; higher environmental standards; and peace secured in NI, then that's a price I'm willing to pay...

Randomly stumbled upon Sean Moss-Pultz's short post about Openmoko, featuring some photos of a working prototype of GTA03/3D7K, the cancelled successor to the Neo Freerunner that was being worked on around 2009. So far I have only heard verbal descriptions of how it looked like (usually described as "a soap dish" 😂) and seen photos of some casing mock-ups and bare PCBs, but never a complete device.

FYI to all you clever Palo people who disabled telemetry to mitigate CVE-2024-3400:

In earlier versions of this advisory, disabling device telemetry was listed as a secondary mitigation action. Disabling device telemetry is no longer an effective mitigation. Device telemetry does not need to be enabled for PAN-OS firewalls to be exposed to attacks related to this vulnerability.
