I mentioned before that I've been playing with a new instance running akkoma. I think I'm ready to open it up for people to use now... The link is https://infosec.place

I was asked to participate in more than ten selfies today with different people and fans of #curl. I'm getting so much love here I'm not always sure how to react!

The world’s most innocuous bot, @year_progress, just went hard on Twitter’s API changes. I haven’t seen this much intensity since the end of 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019.

A U.S. Air Force fighter jet was observed shooting down a balloon off the coast of South Carolina on Saturday afternoon. The U.S. government termed it a Chinese surveillance balloon that had drifted over the country for days, prompting calls from Republican members of Congress and members of the public for the military to knock it out of the sky. Here's my VOA News radio report.

@Catlynn In case you need this chart again.

I feel relieved, I had the opportunity to take our usual @bagder (curl) + @wget picture. 👌😊

I have stocked up the #wolfSSL booth with #curl stickers here at #FOSDEM

Mathematics is nifty 🤓

🗓️ For non-leap years:

👉February has 28 days (7 x 4)
👉Each day has 24 hours (8 x 3)
👉Each hour has 60 minutes (6 x 5 x 2)
👉Therefore the number of minutes in February is 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 8! 👐

Mastodon Flock is an excellent Twitter-to-Mastodon friend finder: all the functionality of Movetodon (before Twitter killed it today), but open-source and with a delightfully retro interface. https://mastodon-flock.vercel.app/

IBM, Circa 1979: “A computer can never be held accountable, therefore, a computer must never make a management decision.”

Judges in 2023: “Let’s let AI write our judgements and also decide if someone should be released on bail!”

This is the best way to respond to mean comments online.

First, buy a harp. Second, program strings to correspond to letters. Third, type your comments on the harp.

My guess? That's the 100th luftballon.

fyi, since many people don't know this exists:
Almost all computer screens made in the last decade support DDC/CI. (The Display Data Channel Command Interface).
You can use it to control stuff like the backlight brightness without fiddling with the awful screen buttons and OSD.

On Linux once you load the ddcci kernel module the screens appear in /sys/class/backlights and can be controlled like a laptop screen.

I made a tool for exploring JSON APIs interactively!

It's been invaluable to me for figuring out how #ActivityPub works. It's surprisingly satisfying to just click around, pretending this was some sort of client! :D

I encourage you to paste the URL to your own #Fediverse profile into the input box, and see how far you can get!

For every meeting, you need a designated buddy who is also in the meeting that you can message to vent about the meeting.
