Als gepensioneerde mensen aan de ene kant dingen moeten zoeken om zichzelf bezig te houden, en er aan de andere kant paniek is omdat er steeds meer mensen de pensioenleeftijd bereiken en we niet meer genoeg werknemers gaan hebben om al het werk te doen...
Dan moet er toch op een gegeven moment ergens een lichtje gaan branden dat er misschien iets mis is met de manier waarop we over "werk" denken, zou je zeggen.
@mynameistillian It can work with someone you know well, but I would strongly recommend against doing so with someone you don't already know and align well with. It can be a large source of stress, especially once the conflicts around chores inevitably start happening.

Kwam deze net weer tegen, als het luisterverhaal op zondag bij de NRC, en het is een goede reminder hoe armoe troef het runnen van een pakketpunt is, voor de betrokken ondernemer.
En een eerder verhaal uit 2022, over mensen die thuis een pakketpunt hebben;
Allemaal zodat we niet thuis hoeven te zijn terwijl er iets bezorgd wordt 😐

Good ideas for people about to lose their jobs at 23 And Me
If you're about to lose your job at 23 And Me anyway now that the company is dying and selling off its assets
Have you considered
Intentional corporate sabotage on your way out?
Do a little $ sudo rm -rdf /*
On a couple servers with customer data that's about to be sold
Depending on what absolute snake of a buyer is on the way, you might even save some lives
*looks at security update for piece of software in JS*
"Fixes XSS"
It's gonna be Handlebars templates, isn't it? *checks* yep, it's Handlebars templates.

@joepie91 people will blame and shit on everything besides the actual cause of most software being shitty: capitalism
#AskFedi: in a QUIC (*not* HTTP/3!) connection, how would one typically validate the key/identity of the other peer, when CA certificates are not available?
I'm looking at some QUIC implementations, and having trouble finding what I'd usually use; something like a client certificate fingerprint.

@sasha Thing is, there are more usecases than "talking to webservers on the public internet", and it's absurd for people to assume things about other people's usecases

Is there a name for general "grid with rules" puzzles that aren't based on outside knowledge like trivia or words?
Like the witness or the tile puzzles in Islands of Insight or the queen area game or even sudoku which although uses numbers it just uses them as separate symbols
re: grumbling, hackernews
@virtulis That's almost certainly exactly what it is. Otherwise a rationale would've been provided...

Apple got denied an extension on document discovery stuff with Epic and the denial from the judge is one of the best things I've ever read.
Absolutely calling them out on their nonsense behaviour for once!
It's 2 pages of perfection.

"Hm, I wonder why there's no QUIC or HTTP/3 support in Node.js yet"
"Well you shouldn't be using Node.js for anything anyway"
What is wrong with these people?
@arianvp Oh right, I guess every connection is encrypted and authenticated by default; I suppose that's the part I was missing
Things that "everybody knows" that are wrong 
(has references to crimes)
@ark It's been a while since I wrote that post so I do not have a comprehensive article about it within reach anymore, but the Wikipedia articles of the inventors seem like a decent place to start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_L._Kelling and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Q._Wilson (it's also hard to miss the racist undertones in its history)

The title gives away the plot, but this is a very good, long, detailed summary about the entire Wordpress/WP Engine fiasco of the past week from every angle: https://joshcollinsworth.com/blog/fire-matt
@julialuna@chaos.social Then I don't know unfortunately :(
@julialuna@chaos.social Sounds like it might have been a Foone thread?

Am I missing something or would an attacker be able to force a migration of someone else's connection in QUIC to a system under their control, by capturing the connection ID and spoofing a migration message with the same ID?
