Yep. 👍🏻

Captures the essence of the book but is adapted subtly for the new medium.

Worth sending the cost of the 4K sub to Netflix for a month.

Recommended if you have Netflix.

My MBTI result is “Seems like to much effort to work it out”.

Someone or some bot is still trying get access to services using the email address I used with TicketMaster. Including services I don’t use.

They’re also trying and failing to sign me up for various organisations and mailing lists.

I hope it’s wasting significant chunks of their time and/or computing resources. Because it’s not doing that for me.

Shortly after mentioning 1Password here, someone tried to get into my 1Password account.

It turns out I can create unlimited unique email addresses on the email service I host my domain. This means I can create a separate email address for every service I need a login for. So when they get breached, I don't have to worry about my email address being harvested and used for annoying spam signups.

I'll do that over time. Using random names for the name part of the email address.

@sdarlington I’ll store them all in 1Password. Given I don't know the passwords as they are there already, it won't add any burden.

What was tedious about it?

Email abuse is still ongoing. It’s like an annoying fly, with a similar lifespan.

Can anyone recommend a good (UK) domain name host with email forwarding? I’ve been with 123-reg for years but they just screwed all of their customers with their latest system “update”.

@tenjinuk Why not Hover? Or failing that Hostek? https://hostek.co.uk

Trying the Otter AI transcription of an uploaded MP3 audio file that was created by using Downie to download a YouTube Webinar video as an MP4 that I then converted to an audio only MP3 with Permute.

I'm hoping the transcribing is good. It'll take abut 12 minutes in total for the whole process to transcribe a 50-minute video.

Before it would take 50 minutes as the video played and Otter AI listened and transcribed in real time.

They also tried to sign me up to the SDLP and GBNews sites.

Bad news to whoever it is. I’ve screening on my email. Nothing gets through until I approve the sending address. And when I click no, I never see any email from that address again.

HEY email screening FTW. https://mastodon.social/@ianRobinson/112529871920500866

Okay. It’s starting to look like whoever is messing with my email address is someone who knows me. They just tried to sign me up to the Ulster Unionist Party.

If you are reading this. Get a dog. Go for long walks. You need a hobby.

They are trying to log in to my @atpfm account now as well.

I hope I don’t have to retire the email that I used with TicketMaster. 🙁

It’s handy that TicketMaster built up all that goodwill with their customers (both artists and fans) over the years.

Now they get to cash it in in relation to the antitrust investigation and the new massive data breach.

@WarnerCrocker Agree. Note the hashtags 😊

@WarnerCrocker Sorry. Note the hashtags. I was being sarcastic.

Journalist @realjuddlegum is arguing on Threads that the app is actively suppressing the reach of accounts that post political content. Not posts but ACCOUNTS: https://www.threads.net/@realjuddlegum/post/C7jbkvlsw-t

I can't think of a better reason to migrate from Threads over to .

There is no shadow banning here nor algorithmic shenanigans. Plus Mastodon has much much better features (lists, hashtags, 3rd party apps).

The only thing Threads has going for it is the number of users. I just wish they'd all move here

@_elena @realjuddlegum What is the response when you suggest that?

Someone is trying to change my TicketMaster password and my email password. 😡

ianRobinson,
@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@Schnuckster Assume the password is compromised as well.

ianRobinson,
@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@Schnuckster Correct. But be wary of reset emails for the email you use to log in to TM. Ignore them.

ianRobinson,
@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@Schnuckster No. Your login password for TicketMaster will be stored by TM. Ideally it’ll be stored in what is called a hashed form. Which means it’s encrypted. I don’t know if TicketMaster did that. Hence given the breach it’s best to assume the password is compromised as well.

ianRobinson,
@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@Schnuckster BTW. They don’t have my password for my email account. That’s why I’m getting password reset response emails from my email provider.

They only have my email address as that’s what I use on Ticketmaster.

ianRobinson,
@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@Schnuckster I don’t know. It could just be malicious activity to annoy me.
