This year I am going to remember not to give into the temptation to order a burrito at @emf because every year it just makes me sadder

Weather forecast for @emf is disconcertingly dry and warm, surely this is a prelude to some other biblical disaster

Been living in the bay area since 2014 and this is the first time I've flown out of an SFO A gate since 2007?

Hello! Due to last minute circumstances I have a spare ticket to @emf including train tickets from/to Paddington (leaving Thursday morning, returning Monday afternoon). Hit me up on Signal if you're interested, no charge but if you insist then I'll take a donation to a worthy cause

(Calling Elon Musk on the phone) hey Elon I've got this fucking amazing compression algorithm. Yeah, it's in my vault. You should come and authenticate it for me. Bring a trowel.

One of Apple's design choices around hardware-backed keys stored in the secure enclave is that they can only be used by the app that generated them - so a key generated by (eg) Chrome for WebAuthn purposes can't be used by (eg) Safari. We have a command-line tool for obtaining auth tokens from Okta that has to handle MFA, so the past few weeks have involved me figuring out enough of Okta's MFA enrollment flow to add support to it so users can use TouchID to auth from the CLI.

I'm still curious whether the Free Software Definition's choice to require the ability to use free software for any purpose is entirely deliberate - is there any writing on why free software must permit being used to restrict people's ability to exercise the four freedoms?

(I agree with the argument that it would be extremely difficult to write a license that enshrined this without restricting legitimate use cases, but if someone were able to do so, /should/ it be free software?)

Recruiters! If the first paragraph on your site talks about your defence contracting work, it is not going to be a good fit

Why does my IdP have two entirely different flows for MFA auth depending on how you're hitting it
