From how things are going, I think I'm going to blame this one on Wallabag, not on NixOS

Important news: After almost 7 years without a sighting, I have once again seen the Sainsbury’s car park fox

I apologise for the poor picture but they were very intent on hiding in the bushes behind the petrol station so I had to be quick

stackoverflow grumbling 

So apparently StackOverflow is full of people asking "I am trying to set up domain socket connections with peer auth and getting a 'no password' error, how do I fix this"

Followed by an endless stream of people suggesting "try setting a password", clearly not understanding what the question is

It's way past a normal work day and the media still acts like CrowdStrike is a Microsoft subsidiary.

Hi, fedi admin friends! I'm excited to announce a tool that I've been building for the last few weeks: ModShark, an auto-moderator for Sharkey instances

This is a standalone application that integrates with Sharkey to provide background scanning of instances, users, notes, and other objects. Rule patterns and reporting methods are configurable, and the process is completely non-destructive (ModShark only issues reports - actions are left up to staff decision). Scanning logic is lightweight and efficient - designed to run well even on resource-constrained systems.

If this sounds useful, then please check out the link above! I'd be glad to answer questions or offer technical support if desired. I've been
dog-fooding ModShark for weeks and can run it reliably on Windows and Ubuntu systems.

Setting up Wallabag on NixOS is turning out to be an absolute pain.

A software to mitigate cyber attacks caused more economical damage than any single cyber attack so far.

Did I get that right?

Turns out there's a reason that Patch Tuesday is on Tuesday

we live in a meritocracy. people move up the ladder because of their skills and hard work. nobody gave it to me I had to earn it. do you know how many outages it took for me to build this kind of skillset?

fedi mods and admins

was your very first moderation action for an account on mastodon.social?

I've expressed this before on multiple occasions, but why are finance people and cybersecurity people allowed to use technical jargon as if we all should know what they mean but scientists aren't?

Okay for real tho I live in a student town and it’s SO extremely obviously all the girls in their early twenties are dressing like trans girls did 10-15 years ago. I had no idea I was so ahead of the curve back then lol

With many people getting COVID from the summer surge, a reminder that the CDC's isolation guidelines are inadequate.

CDC shortened their isolation guidelines, not because of a change in the science, but in response to political pressure to keep people working even if they are sick.

Science shows most people are infectious for 10+ days; it's best to isolate until you test negative on multiple tests. If you can't stay home the whole time, wear an N95 mask to stop the virus spreading to others.

This #CrowdStrike thing is as close as Fedi gets to the World Cup
