new news to me, though seems not new news in general, is a satirical fundraiser hashtag 🏖️

sure. here's one from the pool, not right now because it's freezing, but back when it wasn't freezing.

yum yum coconut suntan oil! tastes like vacation 🥥🍍

💔 Daily Early Morning Worry 💔

one of my clinical anxiety syndromes [1] manifests a binary symptom, which I've termed “impaired focal-state partial blindness upon waking”.

Let's play "Choose Your Own Adventure" this morning!

  1. Non-Critical: temporary medication effect (multi-rx additive symptoms)

  2. Critical: direct effect of hypophysis-cerebri tumor growth, ocular-nerve compression inducing eyesight loss (partial/full) 🧠

[1] ICD-10 F41.1

@opnsense

"login shell for this non-admin user is not active for security reasons."

Congrats on breaking all of my staging bastions w/the 24.x upgrade!

The excuse, "it is what it is" from Franco: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=38665.0 :blobfoxangrylaugh:

Bastions restricting SSH to only allow non-{root/admin} users is proper security, yet Franco thinks only root level accounts should get SSH? 🙄

Goodbye . Migrating bastions to a custom BSD-RP image w/ proper security

common linux-user FUD on FreeBSD forums:

> "modern wifi doesn't work!"
> "it won't run a desktop"

reality: user doesn't want to read docs/man/apropos

here's a Thinkpad X1 Nano:

  • KDE Plasma6 on FreeBSD 14.0R-p6
  • Intel AX201 wifi (basic wpa-supplicant params)
  • external travel monitor: plug-n-play, it just works

time required: 20 minutes of relaxed leisurely morning coffee sipping

@winterschon I installed #KDE Neon on a #Thinkpad P14s and everything worked out of the box including WiFi, power management, the printer, and the fingerprint reader. Fantastic experience

@winterschon The wifi connects, but it runs at 1/10 the speed of the same device under Linux, and it won't connect at all if you try to configure IPv6.

I'm posting this from my IBM Thinkcentre m90q running Freebsd 14.0p6, and I can't wait for the work on the iwlwifi project to finish so we do get the same performance as Linux.

Fine, it's fine. Everything is fine.

I'm just going to convert essential scripts from bash to the ever-forever-better csh.

nothing to see here users, just another systems architect finally losing trust that the organization could right-side/ship-shape their community.

🏴‍☠️ bye bye bash, it was sometimes fun while it lasted, but mostly not.

Canonical experience of #WomenInSTEM

  • woman observes and identifies problem
  • woman solves root cause analysis
  • woman designs proof-of-concept
  • woman provides report showing benefits
  • concept and proof ignored by boy's club
  • time passes, more time passes
  • boys club decides they have an amazing idea
  • boys club talks big game, misses core concept
  • boys club decides they are deploying copycat
  • woman remains ignored and uncredited

ohhhh gosh… more RISC-V for FreeBSD!

💘 more cores 💘 more ram 💘 more ports 💘 more more more 💘

going to validate whether this SO-DIMM format will work in my TuringPi2, but generally underlying all technical plans, a vast majority of my home-lab acquisitions are solely because I want it and it's fun!

💖👩🏼‍💻💁🏼‍♀️🤩😌

@winterschon oh nice that looks great, I need to get my hands on something like that ... could use some small form factor FreeBSD machines...

15:22,00 "sure, I'll just look at the ebay cart and check the SKU..."

16:24,00 (two browsers open split-screen with ~25+ tabs open to different listings)

"dammit ebay! I don't need to buy any more test-lab hardware... except a new three channel power supply, and maybe a new o-scope and maybe a function generator..."

ok ok that aside, check out this scumbag move from a seller:

  • price is decent ($599)
  • equipment in good condition
  • shipping is $8,000 🖕

we're all aware of the xz issue, but systemd and CVEs are intertwined. linux distros choose insecurity + instability by using systemd.

it's brought to you by:

  • a dev who despises POSIX
  • a dev who eschews security, ethics, and foundations of UNIX
  • a dev explicitly aligned to microsoft propaganda
  • a dev who is anti-FOSS
  • a dev fiscally compensation by the closed-source juggernaut

...
I like the concept of Gherkin because it serves as an automatic translation tool between some element of the user workflow and the software artifact that relates to it.

"User stories" don't tend to include assertions which can then be implemented in CI automation. So, it gets hard to know when either the requirements or the implementations change.

I would love to know this was a solved problem.

Years ago, I worked at a security software startup when (looong story) I noticed that there was no relation between the commit Id developers used to track source and the md5 hash (of the ISO) QA used to track releases.
The remedy was to stop by my desk and ask "does the latest release have this big fix?"

Foolishly, at the cost of my job security, I solved the problem by scrubbing the build scripts and write some tables to some spreadsheets.
