Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

So do you use Google Chrome, Whitelabel Chrome, Microsoft Chrome, Red Chrome, Loanshark Chrome, or Homophobic Chrome?

Here's a one-liner to rsync a folder onto a FAT disk that doesn't support special characters, if you don't mind the files being renamed around those special characters.
$ mkdir /tmp/music-posixovl && /sbin/mount.posixovl -S $REAL_MOUNTPOINT /tmp/music-posixovl && rsync -rltuhv --size-only --delete-before --inplace $SOURCE_DIR /tmp/music-posixovl/$DEST_SUBDIR && umount /tmp/music-posixovl && rmdir /tmp/music-posixovl
On Chromiclones: "this browser could have been an extension"
mozilla, advertising, grumble
So Mozilla is just straight-up running ads on MDN now.
When are we all gonna stop pretending that they're any meaningfully different from other companies?

Happy Pride Month to all the long-dead historical queer couples, doomed to be forever described by museum plaques as “close friends,” “like siblings,” and my personal favorite, “the nature of their relationship is unclear” 🏺 🌈

wild that PowerColor's RMA team use the exact same BGA reballing frame I have. I guess the cheap stuff just works!
#Cryptography question: I'm building a project that deduplicates stored data chunks. Chunks are encrypted using their own hash as the key. For this to not break deduplication, I think the IV needs to be deterministic?
What security properties am I losing by doing this, and is there a better way (that does not involve "just use ZFS" or similar)?

Looks like they're on the verge of bankrupcy

@TQ doesn't it just make your heart smile that "phpbb but make it fedi" exists in this world
Save me from all the IPFS evangelists jumping on the NixOS storage issues to shill their favourite toy without thinking for a moment about the availability requirements

Holy moly, a historian got ahold of the original tape of this famous Martin Luther King Jr interview in Playboy in 1965 where he harshly criticized Malcolm X, really the single source for the idea he vehemently disapproved of Malcolm X, and it turns out the criticism of Malcolm X was completely fabricated afterwards by the interviewer Alex Haley. Haley later wrote Roots, which unfortunately it turned out he'd plagiarized significant parts of.

Raspberry Pi Foundation seems to be collecting serial numbers/MAC addresses during the first boot of Raspberry Pi OS?
Take a look at the following function inside `piwiz`, their first boot wizard:
https://github.com/raspberrypi-ui/piwiz/blob/master/src/piwiz.c#L2381-L2393
That app either reads the OTP registers 64-65 which contain the MAC address, or the serial number reported by CPU. Then, they use Chromium first_run_tabs preference key to send a SHA256-hashed MAC/SN to their server (hxxps://welcome.raspberrypi.org/raspberry-pi-os?id=SHA256SN)

Does bisexual mean "every other sexual" or "twice per sexual", I can never remember
What's going on with #NixOS right now is a good example of why having sponsors doesn't mean you have an infinite budget.
Once the sponsor pulls out - and they eventually will! - it's always the community that's left to pick up the pieces, and so you have an obligation to ensure that the funding burden is minimal.

also it's fucking 2023 why on earth am I getting union emails sent to an inbox that is owned both by the bosses and by google. why doesn't every union sign up process include an invitation to a freaking CHATROOM. for the love of god it is the most obvious thing on the planet to put you in CONTACT with the other members of your union on a person-to-person basis rather than funnelling everything through stewards and blast emails that no one reads.
garbage infra has freaking consequences!!!!! and they are labor organizing burnout!!!!

Queeractivisten moeten steeds vaker niet alleen strijden voor vooruitgang, maar ook om teruggang tegen te gaan. Deze strijd op twee fronten kunnen wij niet winnen als we alleen staan. We hebben onze ‘allies’ nu harder nodig dan ooit.
Pride in 1969 was stenen gooien. Pride in 2023 is feestvieren.
Misschien moeten we toch maar weer eens stenen gaan gooien?

aippropriation (noun):
Appropriating the work of artists, writers, coders, and other creative folk, or creative output of whole communities, or a corpus of whole languages, by including it indiscriminately into training sets for generative AI models, and benefiting from them by those controlling these models, usually without consent, remuneration, attribution, acknowledgement, nor making these tools freely available to those creatives, communities, or language speakers.
