Apps that log you out because you haven’t used the app in over a week. WHY? It’s isn’t even a crucial app like a bank or something.

Wizards of the Coast did as they promised, and released a System Reference Document (that is, the basic rules and game mechanics) for the 2024 edition of Dungeons & Dragons under an extremely open Creative Commons (CC-BY-4.0) licence.

D&D isn't necessarily the game for *you*, but it *is* historically significant and still extremely popular, and I think it's cool that any part of it is available under such a licence.

With both #Eurovision and the Papal conclave happening in May, it’s gonna be a big month for Europeans who love overly complex, confusing and dramatic ways to select a winner that are run by international bureaucracies, include smoke for dramatic effect and feature excessively extra outfits

@anildash Several years ago we created a man-in-the-middle system - basically a two port Ethernet bridge - that implemented what we called a "constipation engine".

It would recognize an incoming TCP connection and based on supplied criteria would distinguish between connections to be allowed and those to be constipated.

The TCP constipation manipulated the TCP window size parameters so that from the attacker's point of view a TCP connection would be open and in a connected state but the data flow would be a trickle. Thus a web page fetch, nominally very fast could span many minutes, even hours,

Most attackers, driven by software not people, would not notice this slow down of data delivery to a few bytes every few seconds.

Although this would not stop web scraping it would slow the attacker to a crawl, likely preventing it from ever finishing its scraping or moving on to other victims.

The cost for the website was basically some TCP state control blocks in memory and very little CPU or network I/O burden.

So far on #EarthDay walk, I’ve seen Lilac, Periwinkle & Lavender flowers! It is really cool to meet the namesakes of our human colors. 💜

I was amazed when I met Fuscia a few years ago!!

Do you have any favorite color-namesakes? Please tell or show me about the pretty things

6 years later and I still wonder what happened to this door I encountered in an abandoned building to make it look like that

The camera is monitoring a smoldering log pile but it caught a groundhog taking a moment to appreciate the sunset

“Separate the art from the artist” is an idea from literary criticism: it’s about giving you permission to talk about what the art _does_ without having to argue about whether the artist _intended_ that effect.

It’s not a moral framework! It doesn’t say anything about how to feel about buying a product, art or otherwise, that supports creators with odious opinions.

It’s not incongruent to be totally subscribed to the Death of the Author and also not want to buy any Harry Potter stuff.

END OF 10

"Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025.

Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer.

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

If you bought your computer after 2010, there's most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date GNU/Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.

Installing an OS may sound difficult, but you don't have to go it alone! With any luck, there are people in your area ready to help!"
