    I rarely buy from Amazon - it's a place of last resort. This list appears to have been populated because I bought a naked portafilter and a can of La Tourangelle Pistachio Oil (I couldn't find either locally). Amazon doesn't know much more about me, and I plan to keep it that way. Duck Duck Go FTW.

    Screenshot of my Amazon "About You" profile. It reads as follows - Product Preferences: Prioritizes commercial-grade equipment for home use.

    Margaret Hamilton obit at the NY Times. Mentions the incident during the Apollo 11 landing when Buzz Aldrin flipped a switch, that caused a CPU overload. The software survived because Hamilton had anticipated and simulated such a scenario and had added logic to prioritize essential tasks over others. Paul Curto, who nominated Hamilton for a NASA Space Act Award, called Hamilton's work "the foundation for ultra-reliable software design." nytimes.com/2026/10/07/obituar… archive.ph/kD3F4 4/n

Nandy reiterated the government's commitment to introducing "nudity-blocking technology" on children's smartphones, telling the Labour conference: "We will be the first in world to introduce legislation to make it impossible for children to take, share or view nude images." the Information security consultant Paul Moore tested the HMD Fuse, a handset protected by SafeToNet's HarmBlock+ technology the product cited by ministers as evidence that device-level blocking of explicit imagery is achievable (see Eye 1678).

More than 100 days ago, we not only published the findings, we actually spoke directly with Microsoft. The answer?

    You think choosing a Fediverse server is hard? Try uploading your passport. So I tried Gander. Before you’re allowed to post, you need to verify your humanity. You can do that through an organization you’re associated with, such as your place of employment. Not part of an organization that can verify you? Then you’re directed to Canada Post’s Identity+ app, which requires proof of aliveness and uploading your Canadian passport. And as we’ve all learned from the Fediverse, friction prevents community growth. If you’re not familiar with Gander, it’s a made-in-Canada social network aimed at Canadians, in part as an alternative to American-dominated social media.

    It’s based on AT Protocol, and apparently you can view content from Bluesky. But beyond the verification hurdle, the app clearly isn’t ready for prime time. There are numerous obvious bugs. For example, while I was composing a post, it lost my cursor and wouldn’t scroll downward as I kept writing. I also think that if Gander is going to survive, it needs to integrate with the Canadian Fediverse. There’s already an established community here. Gander doesn’t have one yet.

    We are in a different moment, economically. Back then, earning user confidence was necessary to sell the product. And, in the world of dial-up, most people had multiple vendors to choose from. Nowadays, because of regulatory capture, one maybe has one or two broadband vendors available, and they (usually) all suck because always-on internet is a necessary utility for a middle-class household. So, it's all rent-seeking and cutting costs, which often means intentionally sacrificing quality.

    A lot of apps on #Android do not work suddenly & only work again if you #update them. There is generally no warning of this: you just have to fail in what you are trying (logging in with the correct credentials, attempting it 10 times or trying to make a payment, the list of time consuming failed tasks is endless) and then try to update if that occurs to you. Android and apps have here an ultra massive design fault: what system/app lets you fail so many times when the cause is a missing update?

    Vicarian 0.6.0 is out. Vicarian is a batteries-included reverse-proxy aimed mostly at self-hosting. It has built-in ACME/LetsEncrypt support, including DNS-based certificate generation. Since I last mentioned Vicarian on here there have a been a lot of bug-fixes and a few notable features: * The configuration language has been changed from Corn to HCL. See vicarian-full.hcl for a full documented example. Environment injection now is fully supported, including integers (e.g. port numbers). ACME/Letsencrypt configuration blocks are reusable across vhosts. * Speaking of port numbers these can now be overridden on the command-line. * ACME/Letsencrypt wildcard certificates are now supported.

    Show more of this post

    * Serving static files is now supported natively. * Native Prometheus stats are now supported, including ACME time-to-renewal counters. * Listening on an interface rather than an IP is now supported. * Debian packages are now provided; see the README for details. * Many bug fixes and protocol handling improvements. Test coverage has been greatly expanded. To recap its key features: * Native support for ACME/Letsencrypt, including DNS-based challenges (DNS-01 is supported, DNS-PERSIST-01 to be added once support is more widely available). * Automatic certificate reloading for externally generated certificates. * Do The Right Thing by default; if a particular header or setting was usually required by, say, nginx then it should be the default. e.g. X-Forwarded-For and HSTS. With this release I'm confident enough to declare Vicarian as pre-1.0 beta status; it is feature-complete for my own use-cases, although some features may be added along the way. Possible future features may include: * DNS-PERSIST-01, DEVICE-ATTEST-01, and TLS-ALPN-01 support. * Additional credential sources (e.g. Vault/OpenBao, TPM2/systemd-creds). Vicarian (and this announcement) was written by a human (me, Steve). The Vicarian project has a no-AI-in-production-code rule. I wrote this to scratch my own itch, but hopefully it may be of use to others. github.com/tarka/vicarian

    Why direnv at all: it loads and unloads a project's environment as you move between directories. Env vars, PATH additions, and the virtualenv all live in one .envrc in the repo, so there is no "did I activate the right venv?" and no settings leaking from one project into the next. It works with many different shells, different languages, different project shapes, and you can customize it as needed. It is a tremendously useful tool. Strong recommendation from me. A one-time `direnv allow` is the trust step, and direnv asks again whenever the .envrc changes. #direnv #DevTools #Shell

    An odd take: While I admire Margaret Hamilton, it has less to do with her undoubted technical chops, and more to do with her willingness to be a symbol, an icon, a photograph, a meme. When I came to the geek trade in 1980, there were *lots* of women. The first two hardcore systems programmers I ever met were women. I didn't need Hamilton to look up to, I already had two serious geek women to learn from. That changed. There are many fewer women in the trade today than there were back then.

    I bought an OPNsense router back in 2023 when I had my own internet, and it was easy to setup because my ISP modem at the time (AT&T) didn't have restrictive or abstracted settings for configuring a secondary router in passthrough mode. When I moved back in with my parents, my ISP made it extremely difficult to use anything but their own equipment, so I just let the OPNsense router sit unused in a cabinet.

    Installed a J2ME game to my feature phone which requires connecting to an ad server to display ads before the game will load. Given that the ad server as well as the payment server to turn it into an ad-free version are dead (and 2G has disappeared for these phones here even if the servers were up), this would make the game unplayable. Thankfully there is a numeric code you can retrieve which you are supposed to enter on the computer while purchasing, which can be used to generate a key that can be input manually without any Internet connectivity. So I just cracked an 18 year old Java phone game... And I might have also discovered the key algorithm that is used in all games with MobileRated's ad system - I don't have any other games using it to compare with.

    The only long-term market for Google Playground's tech is spammers/scammers. Tech enthusiasts will try it for a few weeks before realizing they have no good ideas for games, but this is a gift to spammers who don't even have to bash together an asset flip anymore to make a convincing game build. "an early experiment designed to make game creation more approachable and ignite everyday creativity." There may have been an argument in the early days of computing when you'd have to purchase a compiler, it was an investment to throw coins at Borland and then have to learn coding. Not anymore. What sucks is Google knows its market shifted, just like how nvidia knew its market switched to cryptominers and now data centres. Of course we creatives are going to reject it.

    So far there's only a few traces of RenPy Loader in my PC, for now I had to unplug my modem, boot to safe mode and do a full scan to see if there's more. I still need to stay cautious until I have enough time to backup my data and reinstall Windows..

    To me after nearly 30 years in software engineering it also (full agreement with original statement) proves that new users are the best testers as they will break your shit in ways you never imagined!!! 🤣😂🤣

    I'm not big on Prime Days deals, but I’ve had my eye on this Anker Thunderbolt dock to tidy up my desk for a while, and I just think it looks nice. $310 on Amazon today, so I snagged it. anker.com/products/a83b5-anker…

    Updater has been created, chance of it being used again is quite low but I programmed it for future expansion if needed. Version 1.2 and beyond save a .foxdora file in your home, the updater script uses this to know what updates to run. If the file is missing, it falls back to a selection screen.

    After resume from suspend, the DMS lock screen sometimes doesn't show: purple screen + cursor. Only fix: TTY + restart session. Logs: right after resume, NVIDIA fails allocations ("Failed to allocate NVKMS memory for GEM object", niri "error rendering frame"). On lock, quickshell crashes: "Failed to initialize graphics backend for OpenGL". Unplugging my 4K monitor triggered it. Debian 13.7, kernel 7.2.6, DMS 1.6.2, niri 26.04, Quickshell 0.3.0, NVIDIA 615.71.09 (open), Quadro T2000 4GB, S3 sleep. Any idea? #DMS #DankLinux #QuickShell #NVIDIA #niri

    sometimes haptic motors are more audible than they are tactile. mildly disappointing but it still feels alright (bluesky will absolutely decimate this audio)

    JournalKit is a piece of software for a specific need and a specific kind of person: someone who wants to design their own physical daily journal for writing in, but prefers to think in code, modules, and measurements while doing so. chromamine.com/2026/10/introdu…

    ugh hotel wifi failing via what appears to be broken DNS has me adding manual custom dns config and learning resolv.conf overrides don't work and having to learn the systemd more complex way to do it now.

    What do you want the new default styling to be for HTML fieldset? Here’s what it’s been forever — a box around things, with the legend text placed over the middle of the line at the top left. (See developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W... for more.)

    There is no outage in my area and my account is paid up. I’ve rebooted my modem and router twice. This is not going to be a viable situation if I do get to work from home. Spectrum, this is garbage.

    Free app idea: It’s a timer. When you write blog posts, it adds time. When you code your blog, it subtracts time - at 2x the rate! If you’re out of time, your codebase is locked and you can’t work on it until you’ve poured more time into writing. I’d hate it & I’d be your first subscriber lol
