My kingdom for a way to completely totally forever deactivate, remove, and obliterate the very existence of anything in iOS for all time on my phone. I don’t use it, I don’t want it, and I can’t find a way to stop from notifying me that I need to go to Settings and type in passcode to enable that which I don’t want.

@brianstorms I use iCloud only for “Find My”, all other access is turned off and I do not get that nag screen.

Sure have been a lot of layoff announcements in the last 24h.

@briankrebs post holiday rush. Nobody wants to lay off in the fourth quarter if they can avoid it.

Does anyone else remember when we all thought QR codes were stupid, about as useful as a Cue Cat, and would never catch on? Yeah, me neither.

Is anyone running thier own personal Mastodon server at home? (Not hosted) Is it worth it? To much trouble? What is your setup? Any pointers?

@fedops ooo, this sounds exciting. Thanks

A while back I wrote a couple of blog posts about how I think LLMs will be a net negative (at least in the near term), due to the extreme overhyping giving people unrealistic expectations of their ability. The direct result will be an overall degrade in internet usability as people begin flooding platforms with low quality spam that they erroneously believe to be high quality. Previously it was fairly easy to spot someone who doesn't know what they're talking about, but now LLMs enable them to word things convincingly enough to waste the time of even domain experts.

Even now I'm still often surprised by all the creative ways that people are finding to waste other's time. I just saw this post from one of the curl maintainers reporting that they've been receiving nonsense bug bounty reports based on LLM hallucinations, which I imagine is likely due to people trying to automate bug hunting despite lacking the understanding to confirm their finding. They reported that in one case the submission was convincing enough that they went over the code 3 times before coming to the conclusion that no bug existed and the report was likely AI generate.

I went to the antique store and bought the most Hinkley Hilton appropriate liquor kit and I think I’m going to serve only zero proof cocktails 🤷🏻‍♀️🍸😅

@hacks4pancakes this reminds me so much of @deviantollam in a tux mixing cocktails in a movie theater parking lot before a James Bond movie

Just a New Year’s reminder, if it’s part of your strategy, to rotate your static backups.

I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions, but I made a few this year. The pile of books on my bedside table has gotten out of hand. I hear by resolve to read all of these books by the end of the year. And at least start to work on the box of books under the bed.

The order stacked will have no bearing on the order in which they are read.

spacerog,
@spacerog@mastodon.social avatar

@brianstorms So the goal is to reduce the pile, not add to it. But I just added Orange Glow to my shopping cart. As for Modem World I’m 50 pages in and he’s still talking about CB Radio.

spacerog,
@spacerog@mastodon.social avatar

@brianstorms Thank you, that is a kind offer but not necessary. No idea how Modem World ended up in the pile and Orange Glow does seem to be the better book. I will get to it, might have to wait till next year though. :)

So this is cool.. do a search on Shodan, Censys, Zoomeye, etc for a favicon hash! Really great for mapping attack surface or other OSINT things. https://github.com/eremit4/favihunter

I’m not up on my TMNT lore, is it ever explained how Master Splinter learned his skills?

@andrew@esq.social avatar

I’ve asked this before but didn’t get any actionable responses, does anyone in the broader #lawfedi land have a nonfiction book agent they recommend? Law and policy, FWIW.

Introductions would be appreciated but I understand that’s a big ask. Thank you in advance! DMs open.

@andrew @law Google how to write a kickass Query letter, then use use https://querytracker.net to query agents. After 12 months, hundreds of letters and a few serious nibbles give up and publish it yourself.

spacerog,
@spacerog@mastodon.social avatar

@andrew You can shorten it to a month if you work hard at it. (But many agents take up to three months or more to even respond (If they respond at all)) It is the serious nibbles that are gratifying. Makes you realize that you actually have a book worth publishing. Try some queries while you work on final edits and layout in prep for self publishing. #bookstodon #selfpublishing
