Alright, not sure how far I’ll get, but I’m hoping to dive into more Apple II maintenance.

I’m going to start by verifying that the hardware is still working the same as I left it a few weeks ago.

The current Fediverse seems to rely on obscurity for defense from troll farms/IT cells. If a nationstate wants to set up thousands of fake Mastodon accounts - with only a few per instance - run smartly, there's no one who can find/stop them. The current defense is "attackers go after FB/Twitter/etc instead."

Long-term, if Mastodon becomes mainstream, it may need semi-centralized services that take in data from most instances to stop troll farms/IT cells of this sort (akin to email spam filters)

The "#Vulnerabilities 1001: C-Family Software Implementation Vulnerabilities" free course by #OpenSecurityTraining2 is awesome and very recommended to all developers and beginner code auditors.

Also, make sure to check out all the other high-quality, free #OST2 training courses.

像新北市恩恩爸爸這起事件，某些族群甚至是社會期待的不是他為自己的遭遇發聲，而是在揭發事件後就繼續當個讓人難過的、悽慘的、悲哀的「楷模」，不能從傷痛走出來，也不能為求自己的正義做任何拚搏。

從此角度去凝視部分人的視而不見、冷血，你會更認知到這群人在乎的不是公平正義，而只是想要享受透過欣賞「受害者的哀痛面貌」所帶來的滿足感。

而這也是為什麼，當受害者不再擔任受害者時，社會大眾反而會對其反感，因為他脫離了人們的渴望與期待。人們只想看他繼續當個悲劇演者，而不是一個擁有公民權利與自主意識的個體。

這之中新聞媒體當然得負上很大的責任，但更多的是自認社會公民、實則不想為自己的言論思考負半點責任的群眾。是他們的視而不見、自私、讓人戰慄不安的自我滿足慾望，才會造成整個社會對真正的受害者處境受到迫害、歧視。

Dipping a toe with my first “real” post. This story is from July, but I thought it might be of interest to folks who don’t normally follow math news or who might want to see the war in Ukraine from another perspective. I traveled to Switzerland to report and photograph this profile of Maryna Viazovska, who this year became the second woman to win a Fields Medal in the award’s 86-year history. https://www.quantamagazine.org/ukrainian-mathematician-maryna-viazovska-wins-fields-medal-20220705/

Tonight's #catphoto is from Jimmy's hilarious times at the vet. You'd swear he hadn't just meowed bl**dy murder on the way there. I'd take him to more places esp senior homes if he could handle car rides. Vet loves him. He loves him back! #mastocats #mainecoon #cat #manitoba #catsofmastodon

There's A LOT of discussion about content moderation right now and very little of it touches on the fact that we've all lived on the big social sites for the last decade-plus thanks to the massively exploitated labor of mostly-invisible moderation workers. The social web at scale wouldn't have happened without these laborers, who in addition to shit wages, have been exposed to literally every imaginable horror.

If we're remaking this world, let's do better on that front.

I also need to find another SCSI-1 HVD device to test on, so I don't blow up the SCSI front-end on my IBM 9348-002, as that's literally irreplaceable

My colleagues at 1Password have just open sourced our typeshare crate. It makes it much easier for #rust devs to create and manage FFIs and producing data types for #GoLang, #Swift, #kotlin, and #TypeScript built from the structs we need those to know about.

The effort at Mozilla to rewrite our crash infrastructure in #Rust yielded a number of excellent tools several of which were not written by us, but by other companies and individuals. Check them out:

Hearing strong indications that lawmakers will try to move the Kids Online Safety Act (#KOSA) during the "lame duck" session. This is a terrible bill that won't make kids safer online but will subject them to censorship and surveillance. It could lead to biometric age verification, widespread removal of LGBTQ+ content, and a bunch of other bad crap. Very few civil society groups have spoken out against it. We need #LGBTQ groups especially to sound the alarm. Plz help spread the word if you can

My heart goes out to all those system admins who were thinking "wow this is kinda neat" and are suddenly holding a piece of communication infrastructure other people are intent on depending on.
