Last Notes npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I believe that's a mistake - it's only DHT blockers like Dutasteride or Finasteride that is the issue as far as I know. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I can't give blood anymore because my blood contains liquid girl (DHT blockers), and while I understand them not wanting to give a fetus dysphoria it does kind of suck to not be able to donate. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Sorry, I just had a Sarah Connor-esque vision of Web 3.0 Flock and I'm very sorry for what I've done by reminding the world the original existed. I understand if you send a T100 to prevent me from remembering it in the first place. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I just remembered the Flock browser used to exist. I wonder what that concept would look like in 2026. Particularly the Fediverse variant. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I have some insight about what they are going to do and why and what impacts it has, if that's interesting to you. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit People say some wild stuff to me in interviews. Today the candidate asked me if my name was a joke. My dude, maybe stow that during an interview? npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I have seen the movie Twister about 200 times (literally, I managed a Blockbuster and I would run it on the TV often) I didn't realize until tonight that one of the characters is named Rabbit. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Today my wife and I took our daughter to the doctor. We both went because my wife works in schools and is off for the summer. I was talking to the receptionist to check in and she said. "so you're obviously mom (to me) and you are? (to my wife)" Imma be ridin' on that euphoria buzz for a while. Also I enjoyed how it didn't get any less awkward when I said "She's also mom." npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Every conversation I have had with engineers about how they iterate this process has moved toward "I engineer prompts that eliminate as much ambiguity as possible, and it's frustrating because the limiting factor is often English itself." And I keep thinking, if only we had some sort of less ambiguous symbolic instruction code with which to model what we want the computer to do.. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Every house buying show on HGTV starts with "I carve raisin sculptures for a living and my wife is a wedding planner for ferets. Our budget is 7.5 million." npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit For some reason my brain has been demanding that I write creatively lately. Great plan, take up writing exactly when the world is being flooded with algorithmically generated text. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit "Oh me? I'm not doing much, I'm just introducing exogenous lipid-soluble steroidal compounds across my plasma membranes to bind intracellular receptors, causing receptor dimerization and translocation into cell nuclei to bind EREs and modify my coactivators and corepressors during transcription and subsequent protein production. What are you up to?" npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I made vegan borscht and added beans so I’m calling it пизде́ц soup npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I wrote a thing about how conservatives keep trying to claim I'm dangerous, but also that I don't exist. Content warning: 🇨🇦 https://abbynormal.blog/2026/07/23/castles-in-the-sky/ npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit BRB, continuing the InfoSec tradition of starting a company that will verify your "rogue AI" claims and say that somehow it's China's fault. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit RE: https://infosec.exchange/@patrickcmiller/116963915911110345 New "An intern did it" just dropped #note1r73…4m5r npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Oh right. I forget that's a thing people actually use though. Then again IIRC it's incredibly popular. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit RE: https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux/116958382115564493 There's one browser platform that isn't Google and it's becoming less appealing all the time. #note1wg2…ehcw npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Edamame is just deconstructed tofu. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I would agree, I just don't know if legal minds have weighed in on this. The real question I'm wondering is, why hasn't Creative Commons added a "Use for training?" parameter to make it explicit. Seems like an obvious thing for people to want, to me. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Understanding license is not my forte, but I'm curious- is the creative commons CC BY-NC-ND license, which prohibits redistribution considered to bar the use of content to be used for training AI? The specific text is "If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you may not distribute the modified material." That feels like it can be weasled around by saying they're not distributing a modified version of the material, they are just using measurements of it. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit It's always the mechanical bits of embedded devices that are the problem. If the thermals are not an issue you can take almost anything and dip it in potting epoxy and it's essentially impervious after that to everything except long term submersion and UV. The only issue I've had making survivable outdoor low power devices is batteries. It gets -40 here (C or F, take your pick) and batteries become useless and charging will damage them, so that is something that needs to be engineered around for a year round solar device. I've been trying to figure this out for a solar powered Canadaverse meshtastic node on my antenna tower. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Oh that explains all the dysphoria npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Actually, I'm only 47. I turn 48 in the not to0 distant future but I forgot and jumped the gun. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit 48 yo trans woman here :) npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit In light of the shocking news my voter registration data may have been seen by a third party, it's time to come clean As a registered democratic socialist I didn't vote for Trump. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit 🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I giggle when Vermonters assert that “Vermont” means “Green Mountains”. It literally means “Worm Mount”, like you’re gonna ride one. It’s definitely derived from “Green Mountains” but that would be “Montagnes Vertes” or “Monts Vertes”. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Montreal giving the trees more rights than the US gives me. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Elon had to spend billions to buy Twitter to publish his anti-trans bullshit but it turns out your can post pride messages for free on any roadside sign on Shodan. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I love the optical illusion that the strings aren't straight lines but they are. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Sucralose is disgusting and ruins everything. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Wait there's more than one? npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Surely AI will save us? npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit BTW if you immediately identify both the Indigo Girls and the Dubliners may your transition be easy and your girlfriends hot. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I want to grab my acoustic and find an open mic night and play mashups no one asked for but which constantly slide out of my autistic mind... "And I went to the doctors, I went to the mountains, I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting, I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier Saying "stand and deliver" for he were a bold deceiver, And the less I seek my source for some definitive (The less I seek my source) Closer I am to fine, yeah" npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit It's taken me like 40 years to figure out the cover of The Police's "Ghost in the Machine" is the three members of the band. I literally just thought it was a random broken display. Such is the magnitude of my face blindness I don't even get face pareidolia. https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/116/762/771/513/282/317/original/905963eb8adb3eb7.png npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit How else are they going to provide for the needs of the pedo in charge? npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Ahh well there's the end of a good thing. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Perfect for restoration or as a chassis for your next custom fuse project! npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I grew up in Lowell, MA. I used to get two dollars from my mom. That was enough to pay for my trolley fare to a store on the other side of town and back and the leftovers were enough to buy a screwball (an orange sherbert cone thing with a gumball at the bottom), a coke, and a small bag of penny candies like root beer barrels or Nonpareils or lemon heads. I'd sit on the back of the trolley just enjoying my haul, riding around the city. All the little old Quebecois ladies knew me. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Only one way to find out! npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Ok, we'll accept 13 centronics connectors, but that's the lowest we'll go. We have to give at least 6 centronics connectors to the bank for our education life-debt, and I'm in debt on my centronics card at least another 5 because i bought eggs. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Did you know trillionaires have a high R value when used as insulation in concrete structures? npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I'm pretty sure if we plant Turnip in there with some actors we can Truman show him until his clock runs out npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Personally I had high hopes for Buskernut's "guns for the deranged" programs. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit The first piercing I ever got was a nail through my left foot, right out the top. The removal was far worse than the placement. I still have a scar on both sides! npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Finally, FFS. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Waiting? npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Oh right. Yeah context wise I was thinking more about the moral dilemmas that have presented themselves in my own career, but the people building these things should probably be considering the implications as well. Very good point. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I did have a mechanical switch fail in mine once! I only got 37 years of regular use out of it. Very disappointing. I replaced it, still works. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit "White hat" just means you're more likely to escape charges. It doesn't mean you're a good person. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Offensive "cyber" capability will always be most valuable to those who wish to use it to expand their own power. You can't live in this field, even in purely "white hat" capacity, without dealing with that fact, and you must never let it slip your mind. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit A pure focus on STEM is bullshit, it's exactly what industry wants to get more drones who won't think about what they are doing. No academic cybersecurity curriculum should exist without a significant amount of philosophy and ethics included. Young security practitioners should be warned- at some point in your career you will need to decide if you will join the side of the oppressor. Likely in ways you can't anticipate ahead of time, or even understand in the moment. You have to be looking ahead, and understand if you're going to be able to sleep at night in 5, 10, 15 years. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit What has always stuck with me is that when I read 1984 in the late 90s the copy I read had a forward where whoever wrote it was talking about how in later years Orwell said he didn't think 1984 was actually possible- it would be infeasible to watch everyone all the time. Even back then my thought was "Orwell didn't consider computers." As we've watched the progressive march of massive data processing, computer vision, natural language processing, mandatory photographic and biometric ID, and now LLMs, it's been clear that's basically the end point. Sometimes I'm ashamed my career has brought me too close to participating in that bullshit. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I guess if the Torment Nexus isn't tightening its noose around -your- neck it's harder to see, but jeebus there sure are a lot of people getting "I love the Torment Nexus!" facial tattoos. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I don't understand how sane humans of intelligence can live in this current world and not be seeing the real time failure of capitalism. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit But I'm supposed to applaud the invention of the infinite harassment machine so I guess I should keep those opinions to myself. It's fantastic, just infinite on-demand dumbasses. Like an infinite number of sociopathic Mr. Meeseeks with a poorly understood TBI. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit And the ghouls in charge will just throw their hands up can claim they have no fault because "The AI did it." npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit The major freak out about single payer (or even RomneyCare ObamaCare) was that "they can just decide to kill your grandma!" Well good news, now a machine can do it that's guaranteed not to feel bad about it and might just do it for completely hallucinated reasons. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit If modern nations were smart they'd start passing laws banning the use of AI in the evaluation of medical claims and approvals but they're all full of idiots at the moment so that's not going to happen. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit My insurance company refused to cover a med I've been on for a while for a specific condition and said "Things have changed. You must try this other med off-label and see if it works as well." I fought with them and it turns out the law allows them to do that, so my doctor called in that prescription. Insurance denied it because it is not approved to treat my condition. I've got about three lawyers, one from the state, up their ass already about the whole thing so this should turn out well for them. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Back when I had a blog about the IoT crypto stuff we were developing at my then current gig my hits all came from Beijing and Columbia, MD. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Who then in the US is without sin in the 2024 election? npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit The fact that we can perceive pages loading in 2026 is a crime. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit ThinkPad 580 (Intel® Core™ i7-8650U, 8 cores) /w 48 gigs of ram, 800 mbps on fast.com, local DNS cache, Ubuntu 26.04 and nothing running but Chromium using local DNS. ...and browsing is no faster than it was in 1996. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31Szlx4rn8M npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit We see you bought a drill in 2005, that's why we think you'd like to buy 17 new drills just like that one! npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Maybe I should take the opportunity to switch to Graphene :think_bread: npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit My iPhone 16 updated to 26.5 and lost the ability to make phone calls. I have reset everything, power cycled, done all the tricks... post update at about 15 seconds into a phone call the display glitches, the audio gets space echo-y and it eventually shuts down hard. So it could be a coincidental hardware failure, but the coincidence is suss. Back to a Pixel 8 I go. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Holy crap, I would love that.. but espescially if it's an old Sierra "King's Quest" style game. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit The guy fucked up western civilization for people like me because he was mad his daughter said he was a shitty father. A just world wouldn't allow billionaires. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit one of my favorite bits of artistic subversion ever, ei qui habet intellectum... npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Confiteor Deo omnipotenti, et vobis fratres [bene sorores plerumque], quia peccavi nimis cogitatione, verbo, opere et omissione: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Cuz next the venom hits you or something and next thing you know you wake up naked and with a billiard ball up your behind in the middle of a little people convention yelling racist slurs. Trust me, I've seen it happen a million times. Mostly in New Port Richey. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Jerry? Kindly this is why Florida men have a reputation. Please just go. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Mostly that getting access to it involved me going "Hey can I use it?" and them saying sure, it'll cost you 2x the tokens of Opus. Enjoy. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Yeah I've been the security steward of three apps now that still have to support a user base that has a lot of users on very old versions of android. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I mean. I have access to it. It's not going to be too hard for people to get their hands on it. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit (I do love asking people who report "You're using TLS 1.2 and it's deprecated" to please provide a PoC exploit though.) npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit You know what's going to be fun about Mythos generated bug bounty submissions- the "researcher" won't even know how it works. I guess that's not so different than the deluge of "Look, I have Nessus" submissions though. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit TFW the Rory Gallagher LP you picked up for $5 turns out to be a first pressing that looks sounds like it's never been played before I'm not someone who chases "first pressings" etc, but this one feels like a gift from the fae. I think I'm going to start ripping these to FLAC with my Scarlett Solo just to have an archival copy. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I thought it was only available to some select group of researchers at the moment to be opened up using a "trust" process (whatever that is) later npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit That said, thank the gods for consensual location sharing. It's probably the only thing that gives my wife some comfort I haven't been disappeared by someone when I'm off by myself in some other city. It ain't going to do anything to stop it from happening but at least someone might know about it sooner. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Wives and children are not property. Remember that when you're designing oversight tools for "their safety". npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Just wait until they find out measles can leave you sterile or blind and they'll be falling all over themselves to make it illegal not to vaccinate kids again. Idiots. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I would think insurance companies would be smart enough not to make a copay increase larger than the cost to sue them about it, but nope. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit DIE is the German day for gifts! npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I genuinely thought they announced that as part of talking about token allowances and iCloud+ npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Yeah, the skiddy army is about to level way the heck up and orgs that think the castle wall model is meaningful are going to have a very bad time. You know what’s funny though, from my admittedly smaller vantage point I’m not really seeing an increase in initial compromises via exploits.. I’m seeing extremely good phishing leading to AI-speed lateraling and exploitation, and kind of crazy privilege escalation. If orgs arent investing heavily in compartmentalizing their environments they’re gonna get rocked soon. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Punching out when it's overwhelming and unproductive is probably the healthiest option. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I'm really sorry, but despite my childhood diagnosis, children who inherited it, and a lifetime of ADHD fueled refuse in my wake, my perpetual begging for someone to please, please treat me has still not resulted in anyone giving a crap or even trying. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit Oh, you mean an Ace pride party! There's garlic bread in the snack rooms. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I think if they announced "We're going to roll back to OS X 10.6.8, but with security patches." I'd be overjoyed. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit (Ahh, it seems the market has come down a bit, these go for 250 to 450 or so. Still, I'm pleased!) npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit I was making thousands at 15 making basic websites for local companies and hosting them on potatoes connected to ISDN. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit At this point I'm committed to eventually populating this entire system with stuff people threw away or gave me for the price of shipping and I restored. Now to search for a period correct ('65 to '75) power amplifier. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit You know stuff is good when they highlight the fact that it has "integrated circuits" as if that is exotic. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit IIRC it's suppose to be a reference to dicks and the nails used to crucify Christ or something. npub1gy4wspvdramcxa04jcyqsmyg49k03mn2ljlyr9yl965n47nsjd3svh4s7y Rabbit This thing has a "Panorama" knob, which allows you to dial in an amount of cross-fade anywhere between "full channel separation" and "fully mono". You can also continue with the channels inverting. So it's like a knob to control the sound stage separation. It's really kinda wild.
