If we were inventing email today, anyone suggesting that we use the full HTML+CSS standards to use as the markup language would be laughed out of the room and never invited back.

This new Slack redesign is great if you hate screen space, clarity, contrast, ease of use, information hierarchy, messages, channels, and communication

My daughter: "Everyone's so amazed that every snowflake's different, but no one cares that every potato is different."

I put together a mailing list etiquette page, in case it's useful for newbie posters.

Six months after the CBC and Radio-Canada scaled back its use of the social media site X, the public broadcaster says it will mostly remain off the platform formerly known as Twitter because it doesn't bring in a lot of traffic. https://www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/business/cbc-mainly-remains-off-x-citing-low-traffic-six-months-after-scaling-back-presence/article_10695842-3deb-50d0-b624-b4102cd553c2.html

I want iron-on Steam achievements for my campfire blanket.

"Oh, yes, kids, this is 'Grin and Bear It,' which you can only get if you survive 18 bear attacks in RDR2, and this one is 'the Great Deliverer,' which requires a rating of 60 or above in all your Death Stranding categories."
"Gee Willikers, Scouter K, that must have been tough!"
"You betcha, Tommy. You betcha."

BIMI/VMC is such a hilariously grifty attempt by commercial CAs to reclaw at least *some* of the income lost to LetsEncrypt.

Don't do it.

(If you don't know what BIMI is, it's a scheme to show corp logos for emails in your inbox. See:

I don't think Linus would enjoy being transformed into an .exe

I umpired my last game of the 2023 season tonight. Hanging up my gear and the home plate brush until next May. I'll miss it, but I'm glad for the opportunity to heal up my bruises and to reclaim my quiet evenings. :)

@danielaKay

well my direct manager has scheduled a meeting with my team later today about a return to office plan, so I guess it's time to make a #fedihired post again

I've got a few years of DFIR consulting experience at my previous job with a big 4, I have a few years in this role as a CSOC IR Lead at a large (10K+ employees) company, I have my GREM certification, and I'm Canadian and live in Canada and want to continue to work from Canada (just remote). I've got some devops experience with my personal projects (like my twitch bots and this Mastodon instance) and I am not a programmer but I can program in... a few languages (I like Rust a lot, but also Python, and C#, and I'd love to learn Go or Zig or something). I'm also pretty happy to just sit down with Excel and a plaso timeline and scroll through it to find evil.

If you've got any leads or connections to a full time remote-only job in or adjacent to security that could use my skills, please hit me up--my DMs should be open, as should my email (demize[@]unstable.systems, though I'll use a different one in your HR system). Just make sure it's open to Canadians!

Take your Rust skills for a spin -- write a filesystem module.

I won't pretend to be a prude who never stoops down to potty humour (I have 12- and 14- year olds living in this house), but this was a bit too much.

Thanks, packagers.

My interest in bsky is mostly due to my general interest in decentralized platforms and my previous experiments with SSB (secure scuttlebutt), which sadly had some serious implementation flaws. I do not plan migrate anything anywhere or anything like that. :)

I am now on bsky as @mricon.kernel.social, but mostly as a way to play around with atproto and DID. Thus far, the extent is setting up the necessary bits to have DID work via DNS records (ew).

Literally nobody:
less: `Calculating line numbers... (interrupt to abort)`

(Yes, I know about setenv LESS, it's still annoying as heck.)

And I kindly ask you to stop wasting everyone's time and just send me your important message via this same email, instead of forcing me to log in to your site and navigate your confusing mess of dropdown menus.
