It's Allgood, Serra @jump_spider@qoto.org

Hello all,

This is an #Australian-based community group. We grew on #Facebook for years, enjoying a following of several thousand, before followers began to mysteriously drop from our followers list as new people followed us.

Our non-violent push for better had been squashed, for delivering important content on issues that really mattered to supporters. #introduction

This morning I want to briefly describe Conflict-free Replicated Data Types (CRDTs). Which suggests that if you model your data correctly you can fairly easily implement collaborative editting without involving a centralized server, no matter frequently or infrequently the updates arrive.

I don't know of any practical applications of this technology, but Google did use it's more complicated predecessor "Operational Transforms" in Docs & the late Wave. Please tell me I'm wrong though!

Today I created a test word document with a macro that tries to reverse connect out to a C2 server controlled by me. The idea was to use it to test our firewall's capability to inspect protocols on certain ports.

I was positive that this would fail, but provide us good data for designing alerts.

It did not fail. Full reverse shell with very little indication on our firewalls.

Guess what I'm doing tomorrow? 😓

#infosec #sysadmin

okay, this is not exactly a #toyprogrammingchallenge but I hope you hate this problem as much as I did...

The problem is not just getting the right solution, but getting it in under the running timeout of 12000 ms. Good luck.

You should write a POLITICS.txt as you would write an architectural description of the application.

There's no prescription in it as there's no way to enforce it on the receivers.

It's just a set of statements that the authors accept to be judged upon, something they will use to measure the political achievements of the project.

Imagine a crypto library: it could be a technical success AND a political failure, and the politics.txt exists to make it easy for everyone to verify this condition.

Toki Pona- the language of good in Spark 2016 (Mar. 12 - 13, 2016)
Toki! Ever wanted to learn another language? Toki Pona is the world's simplest language, with only 120 words. By the end of this class, you'll be able to talk to each other and communicate basic concepts.

Constructed languages are languages invented by individuals rather than naturally developed, for purposes ranging from facilitating communication between speakers of different languages (the most famous being Esperanto) to simply serving as works of art.

my conlangs
Xõópríf is a conlang spoken by people who have no tongue, teeth, or nose. (It is very, very far from being complete.)
other people's conlangs
In 1921, Jacob Linzbach invented a writing system based on mathematical notation and published his work in a little-known book written in the now-obsolete international auxiliary language Occidental. Here is a transcription and translation of the book about the writing system called Transcendental Algebra.
toki pona is a conlang made by Sonja Lang. I have produced a toki pona translation of the Telegram desktop application, which is ~50% complete.

H501: toki pona Full!
Difficulty: *
Teachers: Holden Lee

toki - language; to talk, to speak
pona - good, simple

Toki pona is said to be the smallest language in the world, with just 123 words. Inspired by Taoist philosophy and the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis (language influences thinking), Sonja Lang created the language in 2001 as an experiment: what happens if we boil language down to the bare essentials? Come take part in this experiment!

So I'm trying to consider what framework to use for documentation at CleverThis (first document ill need to convert is the Spec for the concurrency I'm designing). These are the options I'm playing with and considering. Which do you like most, leave comments with suggestions and opinions.

"'Use Firefox' is actually an effective means of protest," now that Google is forcing employees to use a Chrome extension for union-busting surveillance https://www.cnet.com/news/google-workers-sidestepping-controversial-chrome-tool-spark-security-concerns/

and then almost as if this is some kind of sitcom, my sister says, "oh okay thanks, but what's weird is i couldn't even find the container. i thought maybe someone moved it." and my mom immediately comes back with, "i think i ate that too."

my sister said she didn't think it was a good idea to let her vape anymore.
