What the ACTUAL FUCK Mozilla?!

"AI Help", cryptocurrency banners!?

I know you have your complaints about eIDAS, but I'm not so sure I would trust you with the CA root store either when I see this.

It seems every company I've worked at has a person who looms large in their legend.
Like, they're often the person who built the core systems, everything was originally their design, but they left recently and in their absence they've had to hire like 5 more people to try and take over all their responsibilities.

I think next time I'm gonna track down that person, find out where they moved to, and go work there instead

It can be frustrating to read the way that people who are unaware of all of the things that “police presence” will do to a neighborhood write about police abolition— even when they are making an effort to understand they still regard police as something that, if removed, would need to be replaced. After all? who will stop the criminals? Who will keep the neighborhood from descending into chaos?

What they fail to understand is that the police *are* the chaos. 1/

En dit is dus ook waarom je zo links mogelijk moet stemmen: alleen links wil de Nederlandse rechtsstaat en democratie intact houden. Rechts, en zeker Omtzigt, willen dat niet. En lopen je te gaslighten met "nieuwe" voorstellen terwijl we niets nieuws nodig hebben. We hebben herstel nodig. Van de rechtszekerheid, het onschuldsbeginsel, privacy, burgerrechten, natuur, inkomenszekerheid, woningcapaciteit en welvaartsverdeling.

De salamitactieken van rechts hebben er inmiddels in geresulteerd dat extreemrechts dusdanig 'centrum' is dat 10/18, dus de meeste, partijen in hun partijprogramma voorstellen hebben staan die niet met de rechtsstaat te verenigen zijn.

Dat is het directe resultaat van het veelgeprezen 'poldermodel', waarbij wat gezien wordt als 'compromis' steeds meer weg heeft wat in beginsel een onbespreekbaar uitgangspunt was.

Matrix/Element licensing 

"We’ve seen Matrix adoption and use of Synapse and Dendrite skyrocket over the past few years. Sadly, the same isn’t true of the contributor ecosystem for those projects. The vast majority of maintenance and development on these projects comes from folks working at Element."

Well, yeah. That's what happens when people repeatedly complain about all the gaps and errors in the spec, and you don't solve them in a timely manner.

Anyone got any tips for making accessible SVGs out of eg. Conference posters? Not sure how to do alt text for an illustrator file

Are we past peak IPv4? -- Value of IPv4 address blocks has dropped sharply in the last year
sidn.nl/en/news-and-blogs/are-

"The prices fetched by address blocks currently traded plateaued about two years ago, and have actually fallen significantly in the last twelve months. What's more, the price drop appears to be structural, suggesting that we may have already passed peak IPv4. That's a clear (economic) signal that IPv4's significance is in decline."

This box of 600+ specimen cards holds a complete snapshot of the last metal type foundries in Germany.

Produced 1958–1971, the Schriftenkartei (Typeface Index) represents the final effort to catalog all the country’s typefaces in production at the time. The cards are useful for researchers and designers as they share a common format and show complete glyph sets. Thanks to Michael Wörgötter, a set of these cards is now in our collection, and his high-res scans are online. letterformarchive.org/news/sch

One of the small delights of a big city is encountering people selling things who just have more customers than they can handle so they become progressively more rude and obscure about how they render the service.

Economists would say they ought to raise the price... but they don't. Raising prices changes expectations, brings different more annoying customers.

Instead you get the best chicken tenders on earth DO NOT ask if you can buy them without the fries. Fries are mandatory.

Sometimes it feels like the internet is just 50 people that I keep running into over and over again in a million different places

Some other juicy bits about the outage:
- No 24/7 (experienced) technician availability at the datacenter that hosted their control plane(!)
- No end-to-end service dependency tracking or diagrams
- Therefore, supposedly HA services depending on non-HA infrastructure
- Even if the "redundant" setup *did* work (it didn't), all three locations would be physically within *the same earthquake zone*

This is absolute clowncar level network administration, frankly, for something the size and importance of Cloudflare.

🤔 Cloudflare seems to actually have pissed off the HN commenters this time

I heard there's this well-tested distributed network routing protocol, that is extremely resilient to provider failures. I think it's called BGP - perhaps we should all be using that instead.
