Cloudy in Brisbane last night so I took my shot of the Super Blue Moon tonight.

Back in the 90s, when I was 11, I had a conversation on Usenet with this dude called Todd Howard, who said he wanted to make a space RPG. I am 41. Today, it arrived.

@rysiek @morquessewen I read this and it seems like they are so well travelled they expect something better every time - or they’ve never travelled at all and expect it to be like a magical movie. But regardless, it makes me want to go to Iceland! 🥶

FYI, when a website erases your text that you just spent an hour writing, you can use this little trick to recover it 99% of the time:

1. find the firefox pid

$ pgrep -l firefox

2. attach gdb to firefox and dump its core

$ sudo gdb <pid>
gcore firefox.dump
<this takes awhile>
quit
<firefox dies>

3. find your lost text in the coredump

$ strings firefox.dump | grep "a unique word/sentence from ur text"

i just did this today to recover a long post i wrote, and figured i'd show others!! :uxn:

Somebody today dragged an old oscilloscope into our @cccac space. Of course we did the only logical thing first :D

I can't wait what others will do with it ^^

Hello all linux users! What password manager are you using? I would love to know. Bonus points if you comment how you sync your passwords between your devices.

Please retoot for extra reach! :)

I was the victim of an extremely clever card fraud/social engineering hack.

Well, partly a victim since I managed to stop it.

I was called by my bank, as they wanted to “verify some suspect transactions on my account”.

Then things got weird…

So finally I say, look, I need to call my bank directly. This all seems a bit odd.

And then, naturally (in retrospect), the guy hangs up.

I call my bank. They verify that it wasn’t them.
