British Cheddar may be going under, and yes, it's the #Brexit disaster again. UK #cheesemakers are set to loose massive contracts because of the stupidity of the #Johnson deal. The UK is diminishing fast! #RejoinEU https://rb.gy/04yl6i #ForeverEuropean #StandWithUkraine

“A startling statistic emerged in Paris last month: during the morning and evening rush hours, on representative main thoroughfares crisscrossing the French capital, there are now more bicycles than cars – almost half as many again, in fact.” #Paris

Oh crap, I've only been on #Etsy for a few weeks and made 3 sales, but it has been *THE WORST* experience! Endless spam, useless, automated "support", punishments that were never explained and finally getting my account suspended for no reason, and Etsy gets to keep my money for up to half a year — if you want to sell your stuff somewhere, I'd recommend *anywhere else*!

Finally I can watch my favorite Christmas movie. The post came in just in time

As Hyperloop One shuts down, we need to remember that the Hyperloop was never meant to be built.

Elon Musk’s goal was never to transform transportation for the masses, but to stop or delay high-speed rail reaching North America. Sadly, he succeeded. While the rest of the world moved forward, the US remains stuck in the past, only able to hand out EV subsidies instead of freeing people from car dependence.

I’m struggling to deal with this version of the internet, where hosts are removing people for voluntarily nudity, but not removing nazis.

And a big part of that is because banks & credit card processing companies won’t allow nudity and sex stuff but are totally ok with hate speech.

From a risk perspective this is asinine - very few people have ever died as a result of naked tits, while we’re watching people be murdered in hate attacks daily.

Everything is fucked and backwards.

As I posted earlier, given he did it "Despite having his laptop confiscated, Kurtaj managed to breach Rockstar, the company behind GTA, using an Amazon Firestick, his hotel TV and a mobile phone." then someone should be offering him a job, not locking him away!

Just wrote a JavaScript function that had at least three lines of comments just to explain the various ways in which the documentation for the Node functions I call is incorrect

@jssfr Oh, thank you Jonas, this is interesting. It is curious SEC Consult claim responsible disclosure, but only to a subset of those platforms affected by this spoofing attack.

"SMTP Smuggling" vulnerability in Postfix allows to spoof senders even in the presence of some DMARC checks. Configuration workarounds exist.

Also, a wholehearted f* you to SEC Consult, who sat on this since June and disclosed it to some closed-source vendors and MSPs, but could apparently not be bothered to give e.g. Postfix a heads-up, publishing this close to the holidays.

Boosts for awareness welcome.

Big #ReBoot news!

The master tapes have been found by the ReBoot Rewind documentary crew and they need our help with finding a working D1 tape deck to digitize them.

Crossposting this from Facebook:

🚨THE MASTER TAPES EXIST AND WE NEED YOUR HELP🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL🚨

Hey you, YES YOU! We have some good news to share!

For years, there have been rumours circulating about the status of the original PAL D1 masters of ReBoot and whether they still exist. After visiting Mainframe Studios yesterday to take a look through their ReBoot archives, we’re happy to confirm that the masters are all here, for every episode of the show!

Getting a proper digital transfer of the D1 masters is high priority item for us. It would mean having the entire series in the best possible picture and sound quality, presented as accurately as the day it was rendered. There’s also a library of additional ReBoot content (animation tests, toy commercials, Electronic Arts video game footage, IMAX content) that is currently stuck on the D1 format and we need to preserve it for the future. This would obviously benefit the documentary but ultimately, it would benefit the fans the most!

Here’s where we need help. We need a working D1 tape deck to capture all these tapes. Mainframe hasn’t had one for years. We haven’t been able to find anyone in Vancouver, British Columbia, or even all of Canada that has one of these tape decks. We’d greatly prefer buying or renting one of these decks so that the tapes can be captured locally, without needing to ship them.

If anyone has a lead on where we might be able to get one of these decks, please contact us!
