Big f'ing sigh, okay. End of an era, I guess.
I'm doing the #Mastodon thing.
See y'all in the #Fediverse: kolektiva.social/@ELLIOTTCAB…

@coreyhaines not sure if this is the best place to reach out — looks like I made an account on y'all's Chicago Tech slack years and years ago; but it's got a 2FA that I don't have access to.
Can you disable 2FA on my account? Happy to verify my identity however you like. 💀

my twitter app is obsessed with @cooIboobs. i get a push notification about her tweets at least once a day.
literally nothing else. no other notifications. this app is apparently entirely about … @cooIboobs.

For the last months, we've been working hard to integrate Melange and Dune, and dogfooding it to build the whole frontend codebase at Ahrefs. It is now reaching a point where it has enough features and performance to replace our current stack.

new dreamy wish: for hosting providers / VPS folks to provide an 'energy mix' API, so developers can run expensive-and-postponable tasks at times of high renewables-availability

Our position remains clear. We will not back down on providing private, safe communications. Today, we join with other encrypted messengers pushing back on the UK's flawed Online Safety Bill.

sigh lol.
what's the non-Twitter that the cool kids are using?
a Mastodon instance, I guess? where's a good, queer, techie, very-open one with a good vibe?

men have to be given quests in order to earn your love or else it won't feel right to them, and it took my autistic ass way too long to figure that out. tell them to do things for you, and then let them do those things. they're happiest when they feel useful

In 2018, "Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma when jumping from aircraft: randomized controlled trial" was published in the British Medical Journal.
It sought to determine if wearing a parachute when jumping from a plane had any impact on survivability.
It did not.

re: handling sensitive information in code,
OH: "Just use a pure functional language! Someone obtaining your secrets would be a side-effect, and therefore impossible."

i deeply, deeply hope there's a romantic coupling out there in the world of two infosec folks named 'Alice' and 'Bob'
(bonus-points for a polyamorous throuple with Charlie.)

Scratched an itch.
Got sick of macOS switching Spaces to use an existing browser-window when you click a URL: gist.github.com/ELLIOTTCABLE…
(This was amazingly difficult to assemble; AppleScript — and code-signing — are a pain in the ass. 😩)
