In the face of planetary ecocide, how do we deal with a sense of loss, grief, powerlessness, and hopelessness? Where can we find the strength and courage to carry on?

Luísa Souza has some thoughts on the subject.

Capitalism is a world-eater, and it must be stopped at all costs.

Its expansion — slow at first — has been the proliferation of increasingly larger cities, factories, open-pit mines, oil fields, subterranean cables, power lines, monocultures, security cameras, detention centers, prisons, concentration camps, and the buses, trains, and subways where workers huddle together as they move to their places of work from where they will move the machine with their labor.

This process has also been the end of peoples, cultures, and communities, of forests, rivers, and tundras. The monster devours worlds, people, trees, and mountains, and vomits residues: plastic, twisted metal, glass, pesticides, and chemicals of all types that accumulate in the soil and travel through rivers and clouds. And thus it grows.

The expansion of industrial capitalism through the Earth has generated a crisis of global scale which is manifested in a multitude of local crises.

The scale of the global crisis makes us feel powerless because we have no influence at this level, but there is a lot that we can do to change things around us. And if our power is limited, it is ours, and it can always be increased as we develop our capabilities and form alliances.

If the monster has spread its tentacles throughout the world, we can fight it where we are. This involves stopping to look around us and reflect on our desires and capabilities and on what struggles we can join where we are. It also means accepting that no matter how heroic our efforts, there is no guarantee that we will be able to avoid catastrophe or even extinction. But defeat is certain if we do nothing, and the more we fight the further we go and the better our chances.

Alright folks, for those that would like to follow @haveibeenpwned on Mastodon, I've now set up an *official* account.

There are a bunch of fake ones around the place on other Mastodon instances, the legit one only follows my account and has a *verified* link through to the website.

Also, shoutout to me for temporarily breaking the website by linking through to the full Mastodon URL without properly escaping the @ symbol in the Razor syntax. It's been a big day 😅

Nice write up from @troyhunt on the implementation of k-anonymity to verify breached passwords on Have I Been Pawned.

Here is a tiny warthog for your troubles, fellow tooters.

In case anyone was curious, I can report that a Yubikey will survive a tip through the washer and dryer. I don’t recommend you attempt to replicate this experiment.

So I've been secretly in a cold war with some weird crypto bros for like 6 months now, and worryingly in the last couple days it's looking like they've won. They wanted my Instagram handle, and somehow they've now got it. Without my consent. And it's kinda scary. Strap in for a toot storm (is that what we call it?) [1/16]

this was the best thing I ever tweeted

Let this sink in for a minute...

Of all the mammals on Earth, 96% are livestock and humans.

Only 4% are wild mammals.

Of all birds in the world, 70% are chickens and other poultry, just 30% are wild.

So I've been building a 100% analog polyphonic synthesizer with an unique twist. To use only vacuum tube era technology from the 1930s.

Over 300 neon gas diodes create the sound you hear. Pretty awesome for technology from 100 years ago.

Still a work-in-progress, but I wanted to post a video of it with the innards spread out across the workbench. : }

I call it the "Neon String Machine"
