I am truly sorry that your timeline isn’t filled up with John Mastodon posts. Meeting with the engineers now.

Hey, folks. Big layoffs at DigitalOcean today, and my team and I were hit. In fact, so was my adjacent team, and a good chunk of my department. I don't have much reach here on Mastodon yet, but if anybody wants to discuss opportunities for a technical editor / writer / manager of same, I'm up for it.

(A)periodic reminder that the most important difference between a senior developer and a junior developer, is that that the senior developer has so many more stories to tell about embarrassing blunders they've made.

John Mastodon would never put his toots at the top of our timeline.

#Programming and #infosec Mastodon, I have questions about file identification. Say you have an unknown file and you want to determine what "kind" of file it is, similar to what the "file" command does on Unix. What's the best way to do this programmatically? Is there an open-source (non-GPL) library that dos this sort of thing? I suppose I could write my own library, reading and interpreting a "magic" file like what's used by "file". Is there a "best" magic file out there to use?

I've posted my first devlog for "Find the Story", a game I'm working on for the #arduboy FX Game Jam. This is what I was teasing back in January. https://community.arduboy.com/t/find-the-story-in-development-for-fx-jam/10862

For any trans people who need to hear this:

Your body is beautiful. You're worthy of being desired, if that's something you want.

Whether you choose to transition (and in whatever direction you want), and wherever you are in that process -- you're seen, you are believed, and I'm proud to be your sibling.

When you look in the mirror, you deserve to hear, "Hey, Beautiful." If you don't hear it in your voice, hear it in mine.

Your strength is incredible. You come from a long tradition of transgender people, stretching back to the earliest days of humanity.

Let the haters shout into the void. You don't need to. The Void already loves you. ✨​

It feels unstoppable.

Big companies train expensive computers on your content with an explicit goal of not having to credit you, link to you, or even tell you. So search engines don't become a portal to the wider web, they become the one and only place you need to go, and monetize how they please.

It's all packaged up so that people see it and use it and go "well boy howdy that's awful neat". And it is neat. Just neat enough that no criticism of it will ever matter or effect the trajectory.

Looking for recommendations on sites to keep up with developer news that I can put into NNW. I have iOS Dev Weekly as well Apple, Google and AWS company blogs. What else is out there?

Hey #ebook #readers

If given the choice, would you prefer to purchase your ebook directly from the author as an #epub format or would you rather buy your ebook from a digital retailer?

Can we get this pool #BOOSTED? It may make a difference on my future...😉

Do any infosec peeps here have experience and tips on running/hosting smoothly a #CTF event? Maybe technical tips but also all the little things which improve the overall participant experience. I'll be hosting one (physical, not online) goodies and food are mostly sorted but I have question about having music while the event is running because I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Also I've got question about providing power to 60+ participants safely. I've been to LAN parties younger but never though much about those.

If there are good ressources out here (feedback from organisers, blog post) I'm all ears!

Tagging @wrongbaud and @cybergibbons for good measure

lmao, "we found out your epic posts were overloading the mainframe sir"

Some engineer did a fantastic job of saving probably their entire team's jobs by pulling that whopper of a lie out of their ass

Hi 👋 I am a marine biogeoscientist and human rights law specialist based in London. I maintain a blog called Seabed Habitats for over ten years and love to share latest developments in #marinescience #marineecology #marinebiology #marinegeology

Did my PhD in Galway Ireland on #maerl sediment dynamics and numerical modelling of sediment transport. Ended up making a documentary on maerl and hosting Seabed Habitats Seminar Series on #seabedhabitats blog. I am pleasantly happy to leave Twitter!

A man named Bruno Schröder, was a mining engineer for most of his life. When passed away in his 80s in June 2022, he had around 60,000 or so books spread out on the 4 floors of his house in Mettingen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The books likely weigh about the same as 15 modern cars. 📚

It's opt-in, not opt-out. It respects Mastodon culture and doesn't index accounts that don't sign in.

That means the index might be small if we don't spread the word.
