Rule #1 of synths: You need more cables.

A pod of dolphins were at hand to welcome our intrepid space travelers.

Them dolphins understand space and space travel better than most humans, don't they? 😉 🐬

I'm very happy to remove the code from Lobsters for geoblocking the UK, and my thanks to everyone who contributed to making sense of it. I wrote up everything we learned about it and why the risk seems low enough now, hopefully it's useful to other communities: lobste.rs/c/xevn8a

@cyberleagle @revk @neil id bet money it’s in the single digits percentage wise. Nobody I’ve spoken to about this knew about it before hand and the majority didn’t care once I explained :sootsprite:

I am willing to accept that I am odd, but I spend very little of my time engaging with large sites and services.

Not zero, for sure, but very little.

I read people's blogs and websites and books.

I like to buy novelty geeky t-shirts from small, independent creators.

I meet, chat, and joke about in the fediverse. I'm not on any other social media.

Email are emitted and received from a small email server I run.

And so on.

Again, perhaps I am unusual, but the Small Web is my web.

Love this article on creating good conditions for software engineers to do their best work instead of worshipping 10x engineers. After a few jobs, you start to notice that the same person can be wildly productive in one job, 1/10 as productive in the next job, and bounce back in the following job... I've also noticed that "10x engineers" tend to be surrounded by "unproductive" engineers who are being sabotaged, plagiarized, or forced to clean up by the "10x engineer"

The whole experience of the fedi is just yelling "hey nerds, I found something interesting..." into the abyss and the abyss going "fuck me, that is interesting"

Is anyone following this breach involving the j-actions/changed-files GitHub Action? Seems pretty major, but I'm still trying to figure out exactly what's going on, who's affected, and what people (and how many) are affected. If you can help me get up to speed please DM me on Signal -- DanArs.82, or on Mastodon stepsecurity.io/blog/harden-ru
