Wow. I am used to all sorts of nastyness when it comes to infosec - but this is a rare jewel. TP-Link reintroduces the heartbleed vuln: https://research.nccgroup.com/2020/07/21/technical-advisory-heartbleed-chained-with-a-pass-the-hash-attack-leads-to-device-compromise-on-tp-link-c200-ip-camera/

It. happened. six. years. ago.

Github has an outage for 3+ hours (https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/j597fw8kv04c). This might be a good option to consider self-hosting a Git repo.

That doesn't take away the chance that outages might happen, but at the very least the impact will be less... huge.

Dear websites,

These aren't login buttons or registration buttons.

Thanks,

A guy on IRC said that it's a fact that antifa are terrorists then said that antifa is trying to stop fascism with fascism. I then responded by calling him a bootlicker cuck. Was what I said out of line? I'm autistic so I don't often understand whether what I'm saying is appropriate.

Had to verify. And yes. Kernighan and Ritchie really did this. TIL :)

how do we cancel 2020?

Can we get a do-over of 2019 and 2020?

Stop using letters that you don't know the pronunciation of. You can't just use them as fancy versions of the Latin alphabet.

@mwlucas If the man-pages for ed(1) on Linux are any indication, they're likely rubbish placeholder text, potentially with a corresponding GNU-info page cross-reference. The info page might have more info than the man page, though often still wanting when it comes to content and organization and you're stuck reading it in the info-viewer. For least-bad results, I find myself exploiting info's tty-detection and piping to less

$ info ed | less

I really want to take a nap in a pumpkin right now and I don't know why. Is this bad?

I bought a Raspberry Pi 4 with 2 GB of RAM. What should I do with it?

hot take: the fact that humans, and probably also other animals, need to sleep has held us back millions of years amd sleep should be illegal

A lot has changed in the last 2 months. I was approved for SSI, then I moved from the US to Finland, got married and got permanent residency in Finland. I went from living in abject poverty to being financially secure. I don't live alone and no longer have to worry about someone finding my dead body in my apartment because there was no one to call emergency services. It sill feels unreal that life can change this much.
