Was setting up a new virtual host in Apache on my RPi, which has involved much gnashing of teeth and questioning of life choices.

Went down a rabbit hole of HSTS preloading of my principal host causing the other to flip to it along with many other increasingly improbable things.

It was obviously DNS. My PC and phone (and router) were storing old values. Restarted my phone, connected to a different network and it was fine to install the Let's Encrypt certificate.

I bloody hate computers.

Just had some organic wheat, barley, rye and oats as a cereal and I'm feeling simultaneously righteous and deeply unsatisfied.

A chap decided to paper his bedroom and as he knew that his neighbour‘s bedroom was the same size he asked how many rolls of paper he bought.

"Six", the neighbour replied. But when the chap finished papering his room he had two rolls left over. When he told his neighbour he said “So did I“.

My local golf shop is selling off some stock real cheap in an effort to hopefully stay in business.

The putters, drivers and irons are all gone, but they’re not out of the woods yet.

What part of “don’t spend any more money on seeds” do I not understand?

davep,

@unclepj But have you bought a chest freezer and a temperature controller to turn it into a seed refrigerator? 🤪

I’ve just injected steroids into my arms

Anabolic?

No, just my arms

A man had a bad cut on his leg but wouldn't let the doctor give him stitches.

The doctor said "suture self"

Electricity was down for 26 hours locally. I'd gone full-on loco caveman by the end.

Was on my computer earlier looking at grid injection and battery backup for PV, while chatting with a friend about manufacturing an automatic transfer switch for going into standalone mode when the grid goes down (changing to local earth, then synching the local AC sine wave to the grid before rejoining). The cheapest of off the shelf solutions costs over €1,000 so we're looking at a partnership to do it ourselves.

Then the grid went down as we were discussing it. The whole area is affected for at least five hours. Need to get that battery backup sorted out..

davep,

@chrisgerhard 🤔

😳

davep,

@simonzerafa I have an SMA Home Manager 2.0 which is certificied for grid-tie and injection. This is just for when the grid goes wonky or down.

davep,

@simonzerafa The other guy is a bona fide engineer though, so I can blame him when it inevitably all goes terribly wrong 🤪

davep,

@simonzerafa I've been doing loads of background research. I'm just glad I've got a tame engineer on hand for the hard stuff.

davep,

@Slash909uk @simonzerafa

The main modes are off-grid, battery backup and grid-tie. Grid-tie with battery backup is a bit more complicated but doable. Any critical loads should really be on a UPS, but switchover can be about 20ms.

davep,

@Slash909uk @simonzerafa
They've got one approved supplier. There are different regs in different countries so I can see why they don't.

But having said that, their latest triphase stuff does integrate it.

Just been made aware of the Stanley Cup craze and I'm convinced humanity has had its time

@TheBreadmonkey It's mad. And, yes, we're doomed.

Some friends are having a joint Burns Night and Chinese New Year party. They’re calling it Chinese Burns Night. I wasn’t going to go but they twisted my arm.

Just failed my ventriloquist exam.

Can't say I'm surprised.

It’s not fair. Just about everyone I know has this thing called FOMO

Google admits Chrome Incognito mode tracks users — what you need to know

"For those that are fed up with and are looking for a more privacy-focused alternative, you might want to consider or, if you have the technical know-how, ."

Can confirm. Brave is significantly more privacy-focused than any of the other alternatives.

davep,

@atoponce What's up with Firefox?

davep,

@atoponce
I think ublock origin and privacy badger deal with a certain subset of that.

PLEASE SHARE: I need your help with nerd puns.

For the @eff 3rd Annual Defcon Benefit Poker Tournament, I am going to do decks of cards for the swag. So, the cards will have HTTP status codes on them.

Obviously 418 will be the Joker.

What are some other great ones? like, which card deserves to be 451?

Big thanks to @kendraserra for the suggestion to use HTTP error codes on a deck of cards!

davep,

@Tarah @eff

Oops, I totally misunderstood. Err, um... No idea, sorry 😐

Microsoft filing with the SEC to say Russia SVR hacked the email accounts of its own cyber staff in November, they discovered this week: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/789019/000119312524011295/d708866dex991.htm

How does a legacy test system allow access to M365 email accounts without there being a security issue with the latter?

And how did they gain access to a test system?

It just looks like they're intentionally obfuscating what happened to me.
