@cR0w I block by TCP flags these days. I ran some internal statistics and found most attacks start with a TCP packet with the SYN flag set. So, I drop those at the border now. Traffic levels went were cut almost entirely instantly! I'm amazed just how much attack traffic there was flowing through the network. I think I solved cybersecurity.

hoping i can post this full thing on mastodon... earlier today i was watching old price drop tv footage and came across this man realizing in real time that his job fucking sucks ass

Y'all continue to be the most interested in clam facts by far of any socials I share on. I really admire ya. Stay curious!

Most types of business exhibit linear growth. But VC will only fund exponential growth.

The result: companies that would create a lot of jobs and actually maintain their products never get funded and never start. If you must hire more to make more product, that's unacceptable linear growth.

We live in an exhausting VC hype machine because it's more profitable to repeatedly hype up and cash out of short-term exponential growth spurts than to build something real.

Paragraphs by @Mer__edith

"I do have to wonder how many #zionists realize that they’re permanently giving the term #antisemitism boy who cried wolf #connotations. The #word is tainted to the point that I’m not sure it’s viable in discussions of actual antisemitism anymore. It’s really grim to be in a position as a #Jew where every time I see someone describe something as antisemitic I have to spend 5 minutes digging through their profile before I can know if they’re being genuine"

@jlperuyero Do the UPC barcodes use the same GS1 country prefixes?

At what point is the country code determined? This may not be an exhaustive way of checking country of origin. Per the GS1 standards page for country codes "Since GS1 user companies can manufacture products anywhere in the world, GS1 Prefixes do not identify the country of origin for a given product."
So I wonder, if this might come with opportunities for false negatives or false positives through legal-bureaucratic supply chain nonsense. I couldn't find solid clarification anywhere online about this from a brief look.

The word "clam" originated from the Old English "clamm", meaning to bond, fetter, grip or grasp. So essentially, very close to the word "clamp", and describing the ability of the clam to pinch its valves tightly together! #clamFacts

This just in. New law signed into effect assigning citizens relationship reward points called 'divorce points'.

@rezzish what is your stance on spam callers causing earthquakes with coordinated phone ringing?

@anarchiv @alexis hate it when I'm pissing against a cop car and someone walks up right next to me and starts pissing, too

Lancer is fun and I wish there were some commissioned space operas for the setting tbh.

Do you think weird neurodivergent otherkin in the middle ages were all "I wish I was a water wheel, I should have been a water wheel"?
