Yubikey 5C Nano are currently €65 at Yubico, PLUS 19% VAT (for me) and plus €10 p&h, plus VAT.

At BerryBase, the same is €67.90 incl. VAT, and if you add another (or €12 for something else), shipping is included.

I'm considering getting a pair for each nephew/niece; I feel I should teach them how to protect data.

Sometimes I check a program's man page to see if there's support for doing X, and then I stumble across being able to do Y, something I've wanted for ages.

Today, in `man ag':

ag --pager 'less -R' ...

which keeps coloring, whereas

ag ... | less

obviously doesn't.

I launch Zoom 20m earlier than necessary just to see what's broken since the last time I used it.

Force Quit is a good function in macOS.

ht (short for headless terminal) is a command line program that wraps an arbitrary other binary (e.g. bash, vim, etc.) with a VT100 style terminal interface--i.e. a pseudoterminal client (PTY) plus terminal server--and allows easy programmatic access to the input and output of that terminal (via JSON over stdin/stdout)

"The maximum potential fine is about $21 trillion"

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-05/medibank-taken-to-federal-court-over-cyber-attack/103936664

That's 21 million million. 21,000,000,000,000.

Much dollar. Very expense.

I wonder how that's gonna work out.

Saw a headline on HN "Build a side project using your data"

Isn't that what all companies are trying to do? Build projects with my data?

Well, there goes your banking data.

"Santander staff and '30 million' customers hacked"

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c6ppv06e3n8o

So glad I pulled out of that shit-site a year ago. I had opened an account but gave it up a couple months later b/c their Web portal is so bad. Actually on my last transfer out it says "because your software is shit", but I'm confident nobody at Santander read that.

Bored? No idea what to do on the weekend? How about reading a book.

Ulysses

> James Joyce’s most celebrated novel, and one of the most highly-regarded novels in the English language, records the events of one day—Thursday the 16th of June, 1904—in the city of Dublin.

I'm curious: have we already seen advertisements or sites which say something along the lines of

"we are not adding AI to our product because ..."

?

Interested in #Ansible's Event-Driven thing and/or in Ansible on Windows?

Saturday July 6th, in Nieuwegein (NL) near Utrecht, Ismail Dhaoui of Red Hat will do a presentation about Event Driven Ansible (EDA).

After lunch Ton Kersten will guide through an Ansible and Windows workshop

https://www.meetup.com/ansible-benelux/events/301290316/

and if I as a non-organizer may add: if you say you'll come, please do. There are typically many no-shows and food has to be thrown away which is dreadful.

"Interestingly, my journey into the professional world began with a unique experience at a local florist when I was a child. I spent a week assisting with various tasks, from arranging flowers to managing customer interactions. This early exposure to a work environment instilled in me the importance of attention to detail, customer service, and the ability to work under pressure—qualities that have proven invaluable in my software engineering career."
