What are some numbers in your field that anyone else in the field would identify without even thinking about it, but folk outside may have no idea. Just the numbers, no explanations. Yet.

Moved some stuff today to my storage locker. Got me thinking of @spike @threatresearch and his work at the Media Archaeology Lab. My original Amiga 1000 serial number 700. Price tag shows original $1295 USD price from 1985, $3775 today. 256 KB RAM if I recall. Amazing system at the time.

@bazcurtis This was be no means my first computer, simply the oldest I still have in box. My first was a Commodore PET, albeit it had 2K of RAM.

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

@GossiTheDog Encrypted? the SQLite DB that is.

Hoping Vancouver stays calm tonight no matter the outcome of the Canucks Vs. Oilers game 7. I live about 500 meters from Rogers Arena and could use for a drama-free celebration.

Microsoft’s new “Recall” feature will record everything you do on your PC

Recall uses Copilot+ PC features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."

@arstechnica WHO WANTS THIS!?! What is wrong with these people?

chetwisniewski,
@chetwisniewski@securitycafe.ca avatar

@arstechnica Not to keep beating this dead horse, but I'm having a hard time with the idea that a room full of grown-ass adults sat around, planned this and no one thought it was a terrible idea? What is it that is in the water at these tech companies? I understand that the US has no concept of privacy, but most of the rest of the world does. Do they really expect us all to go along with this? I have yet to see anything useful from "copilot" that even justify its energy consumption.

@GottaLaff Trump also wants to eliminate Section 230, which would likely make Truth Social an even greater liability (I know, hard to believe) than it already is.

@coffeegeek Are your guides still in progress with the site makeover? I was trying to read this one and it seems to only partly be there? https://coffeegeek.com/guides/howtos/americano-how-to/

@coffeegeek On your advice I picked up a Lelit Bianca V3 to up my game about 5 notches (Got an open box for $1K CAD off) and was looking for some guides on things I can now control that I couldn't before.

@coffeegeek I was just interested in the generic Americano article, but it only half loads. Where is Lance's video? Looking forward to your detailed post when the time is right for you to write it :)

@coffeegeek Consiglio's Kitchenware in the GTA. Had free shipping, so picked it up for $3099 CAD + tax for opened, but unused V3 Stainless.

@GossiTheDog @Quinnypig Everyone gives me the side eye for running my own mail server, IRC, nextcloud, etc. I have seen this play before and it ends in tears. Trust no one.

@drhaywardj I am not recommending it for everyone. Sadly, I don't, but it helps that I work at Sophos and use my Sophos XGS firewall and our cloud email filtering to handle much of the heavy lifting. Managed my own mail server since 1999, so I am well steeped in my LDAP/Postfix/Dovetail nuances.

firefox will now track your searches by default and you'd have no way of knowing they're doing that unless you look for this random blog post on their website: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-search-update/

it does look like you can turn it off at least.

Is the PWHL dead in the States? Toronto at Minnesota and all the seats below the level of the camera are empty. Across the ice, looks pretty full. So did the arena move everyone to one side to give a Trump impression of the crowd? Cheap, really cheap. I expected more of a hockey state like Minnesota.

chetwisniewski,
@chetwisniewski@securitycafe.ca avatar

@Brian_Mahoney This isn't an uncommon practice for sports with lower attendance. Often BC Place will close the upper deck for Vancouver Whitecaps games, but open it for the BC Lions. Similar practice... Minnesota play at NHL sized Xcel Energy Center, so it might be tough to fill.

@Brian_Mahoney Although it is the playoffs....

@Brian_Mahoney I went to the former arena of the Hartford Whalers for a minor league game ~20+ years ago and it was a bit spooky. A few thousand people showed up, but it looked and sounded empty. 5K is good turnout for many IHL/WHL games, but the arena made it very odd.
