hi let's do an #introduction . i'm fbz. i am a hardware hacker (firmware, embedded, actual physical beeping with a multimeter and air wires and unsanctioned upgrades, etc). i love ham radio, 73's de K7FP. i love textiles especially knitting (i used to have an industrial knitting machine). i have two small kiddos and i don't sleep much right now. i love all things spaaaaaaace especially spacecraft and launches. i speak English, Français, und Deutsch. i'm studying for my OSCP. recently i've gotten into WS2811 holiday light shows and custom built outdoor animatronics.
@fbz Your work with the knitting machines inspires me much.
birdsite, threat actors, reputation
@mttaggart @hacks4pancakes Will be interesting to see how things shake out.
birdsite, threat actors, reputation
@mttaggart @hacks4pancakes If they could guarantee takedown on the birdsite before, is because they had bribed birdsite employees; otherwise birdsite employees would have ruled against some of their takedown requests.
Remains to be seen whether the new regime is more corrupt or less, but what you report would be strong evidence that the old regime was very corrupt.
@DM_Ronin Maybe, or maybe everything will work out fine.
@smari One time I got stuck getting paid peanuts for spending a day making minor modifications to some terrible PHP on a server I could only access via illegal TeamViewer, so I'd like more details
@lxo I can't endorse your remark or I'll get booted off my instance!
@scolobb Wow, that's amazing!

#TypedRacket has just got way more powerful. The following code gets typechecked as is:
(: eval-with (All (a) (-> (VariableMapping a) Any AnyValues)))
(define (eval-with ht expr)
(parameterize ([current-namespace (make-base-namespace)])
(for ([(x val) (in-hash ht)]) (namespace-set-variable-value! x val))
(eval expr)))
Six months ago I spent a couple days trying to get eval-with to typecheck, only to get the answer on the mailing list that Typed Racket couldn’t do that. Well now not only can it do this, it also has dependent types!
I’m extremely excited 😍

cozy in a mac rom scarf. specifically this is a slice of the ROM from a Macintosh IIsi. here's how it was made. i used @th 's script https://github.com/osresearch/prom/blob/master/hex2png and the mac roms on archive dot org https://archive.org/details/mac_rom_archive_-_as_of_8-19-2011
if you have ImageMagick already installed:
$ perl hex2png.pl -y 1280 -w 32 mac_rom_archive_-_as_of_8-19-2011/36B7FB6C\ -\ Mac\ IIsi.ROM \ | convert - maciisi.png
Then a slice four columns wide was taken of the resulting image and knit into a scarf. The scarf is 1280 pixels/knit stitches long and therefore wraps natively in the columns of the scarf. if you want to make your own, you'll need a hacked consumer knitting machine or an industrial knitting machine or someone with a setup to machine knit it for you.
@smari Maybe more details? Allowable languages, performance requirements? Assuming you're budgeting a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.

Absolutely incredible that large groups of people have decided to spend their time hating on:
1) making sure your charitable giving is doing the most good possible, and
2) extending the number of healthy years of life
@DM_Ronin I think poorly functioning E2EE (E2EE that loses your keys, or sometimes fails at opening a channel, or something) is very different from E2EE with a backdoor or no E2EE
@lxo Many people are driven by hate, especially now that we've had 16 years of Twitter.

well, there is that, but really, if there might exist facts that would make one think an action one is considering taking that would cause irreparable harm if it turned out to be wrong, maybe you shouldn't take that action before checking the facts very very thoroughly. I find people often react to accusations by assuming the accused is deserving of punishment, as if being accused was proof of wrongdoing. malicious players have found this to be easily exploitable.

I just set up my own #invidious instance! It was easy.
@DM_Ronin sabotage the E2EE implementation so that is so unreliable people try hard to avoid using it
@lauren I'm glad you're here!
@allinone0@fosstodon.org I would use a desktop machine if those were my only two choices on a laptop.
