The #chromecast support in @jellyfin was greatly improved in 10.9. We're now also releasing 4 years of work on the receiver. This is the app that loads on your TV.

The receiver still works with Jellyfin 10.8, although it's recommended to upgrade!

At around the 48 minute mark it's all about the #VFX of #Tron - the optical compositing, rotoscoping and CGI. Watch the whole thing for interviews with a young Bruce Boxleitner (of #Babylon5 fame).

I will never forgive Elon Musk for making Twitter so terrible that people think LinkedIn is acceptable to use.

On a multi-person video call this morning, we were asked what podcasts we listen to.

I didn't get a chance to chime in but here's my answer:

None regularly. I don't have the time, even at fast playback, to listen to something linear that I could scan much more quickly if it was text.

Podcasters, please post transcripts.

Looking over 80's articles about #hackers in US newspapers I rarely think "holy crap" but:

Every time I hear about another group trying to reverse engineer a now dead or killed Nintendo infrastructure system, I want to ask them to remember to take a selfie with the judge for me

There is a Macintosh Color Display M1212 (condition unknown) in the basement e-waster bin of Jefferson Lab (Harvard). I had to restrain myself. I don't have room nor need nor a car.
Maybe you do and have campus access. If so, please rescue it.

Does anyone have resources for restoring British phone boxes?

I see there are a few companies online selling parts, but I'm curious if there is any good documentation available, official or otherwise.

This will likely be something of a challenge to do in the US, but will be really cool if done the proper way.

Q - do you know of well-researched articles, or academic papers, that explore the risks to the Internet’s infrastructure due to climate change?

I.e. how do we keep the Internet functioning in the midst of extreme weather and other aspects of climate change? For example, if sea levels rise, what will that do to subsea cable landing stations?

I am building a list of articles and papers, and I have some.. but am looking for more.

Thanks!

Everyone is saying #xz will be a wake up call for security, when if anything it will just be another snooze button.

GossiTheDog, 2 months ago to random

HT to @wdormann here - somebody has backdoored the open source project XZ which has downstream impacts.

For example, although OpenSSH doesn’t use XZ, Debian patch OpenSSH and introduced a dependency which translates as the XZ changes introducing a sshd authentication bypass backdoor it appears.

One dude bothered to investigate in his free time about why ssh was running slow, so it was caught fairly early - i.e. hopefully before distros started bundling it.

I tried to argue once with @spacerog comment about tech being connected to politics... but today.. I resign.. it's interconnected beyond my level of logical acceptance.. big time!

Saved from a phish by my habit of not signing in via links in email but by going to the site directly

Though TBF password manager would have refused to auto fill and hardware 2FA would have protected me even if I'd somehow given creds.

But, y'all, I missed that it was a phish. And I've been doing this over 10 years.

Don't rely on your ability to spot phishes. Have backup layers of protection, because your awareness WILL fail you, eventually.

Like no joke now I have to find someone to pirate an older version of XCode from because Apple straight-up will not supply anything older than the current version. There's no "older versions" download page.

So uh...

Anyone got some old DMGs lying around?

The venerable Voyager 1 spacecraft is experiencing another glitch. Instead of sending science and engg. data, it is sending a 0101 bit pattern.

The problem has been narrowed down to the flight data system (FDS), which is not communicating properly with the telecom unit (TMU). A reboot did not help.

Stay tuned as NASA engrs work out a fix for this 1970's era computer, which has performed magnificently during its long 46-year journey to the planets and to outer space.
